Drunken My Boss Season 1 (SS1)
Completed opening arc — official English Episodes 1–23 on Lezhin US, clear notes on why "chapters 1–29" searches mislabel Season 1, and licensed reading paths for Cha Iseul and Kang Sori.
Official map: Episodes 1-23
The opening arc closes at Episode 23 (Season 1 Finale) on Lezhin US. Fan archives that say "29 chapters" are describing the same first season with different numbering — not a second ending.

The Drunken Boss
Why this hub
Search results mix chapter labels with episode labels. This page keeps Season 1 anchored to licensed Episodes 1–23 so you do not treat Episode 29 posts as the Season 1 finale.
Drunken My Boss Season 1 is Completed — Episodes 1-23 on the official English episode map.
Creator BBTan wrote and drew this mature yuri / GL office romance (Korean title: 술 취한 내 상사). After the opening arc, Season 2 premiered on May 23, 2025 from Episode 24. For the next between-seasons watch, open the Season 3 guide.
Numbering Map
Season 1 / SS1 vs Chapters 1–29 Searches
Searches for drunken my boss season 1, ss1, and chapters 1-29 are not identical queries. Licensed English Season 1 is Episodes 1-23 ending at Episode 23 (Season 1 Finale). Episodes 24–29 already belong to Season 2 on Lezhin US — they are not a second Season 1 finale.

Editorial Review
Editorial Review Note
This page is a Season 1 reference hub: completed status, licensed English Episodes 1–23, and official reading paths — not a scanlation mirror.
We do not treat “Chapters 1–29” as the licensed Season 1 range. Lezhin US marks Episode 23 as Season 1 Finale and Episode 24 as Season 2. Mid-arc episode labels on this page are editorial checkpoints, not official platform titles.

“Cha Yiseul is rich, reckless, and completely unapologetic about it. With her looks, money, and an endless roster of casual flings, life is one big party—until her mother cuts her off and kicks her out. Just as she hits rock bottom, a mysterious woman named Kang Sori appears, offering her a lifeline…and stirring up blurry memories of a drunken night they may—or may not—have shared.”

Opening Arc Overview
The first season introduces Cha Iseul (official English romanization: Cha Yiseul) — rich, reckless, and suddenly cut off — and Kang Sori, the mysterious woman who offers a lifeline while stirring blurry memories of a drunken night. Licensed English copy on Lezhin US frames the question that drives the opening arc: who is Sori, and why can't Iseul stop thinking about her?
Across the first season, that one-night haze becomes a boss–employee dependence story: privilege meeting consequence, soft vulnerability under hard edges, and a slow-burn romance that refuses to stay casual. Readers searching for the English edition will also see the alternate title The Drunken Boss on Lezhin — same work, same opening arc.

Key Moments in Drunken My Boss Season 1
Episode 1 and Episode 23 are licensed anchors. Mid-arc rows are spoiler-light editorial checkpoints — not official Lezhin episode titles. Always verify the live list before paying for unlocks.
Episode 1 — Opening setup
Licensed English synopsis territory: Cha Yiseul (Cha Iseul) is cut off, hits rock bottom, and crosses paths with Kang Sori over a blurry shared night.
Early arc — workplace gravity (editorial)
Editorial checkpoint (not an official episode title): the one-night haze shifts toward boss–employee friction and dependence.
Mid arc — masks slip (editorial)
Editorial checkpoint: privilege, pride, and soft spots show through as the pairing stops feeling purely transactional.
Late arc — complications (editorial)
Editorial checkpoint: outside pressure and unresolved history complicate trust before the licensed Season 1 closer.
Episode 23 — Season 1 Finale (licensed)
Verified marker on Lezhin US: Episode 23 (Season 1 Finale). Next unlock is Episode 24 (Season 2).
Cha Iseul's Arc
Official English calls her Cha Yiseul. Season 1 pushes her from unapologetic heiress energy into consequences she cannot buy her way out of — attraction to Sori forces pride and responsibility into the open.

Sori's Mystery
Kang Sori arrives as a lifeline with opaque motives. Through the opening arc, the boss persona cracks enough to show vulnerability — without fully answering why she chose Iseul in the first place.

Drunken My Boss Season 1 Episode 1
Looking for drunken my boss season 1 episode 1? Start with the licensed opening setup (cut-off + first Sori encounter), then stay on Episodes 1-23 through Episode 23 (Season 1 Finale).
How the First Season Ends
Without spoiling beat-by-beat: Season 1 closes at Episode 23 (Season 1 Finale) on licensed English pages. Episode 24 (Season 2) is the clean next unlock — not Episode 29.
If an older fan page still calls Chapter 29 the Season 1 finale, treat it as an outdated archive claim, then verify against Lezhin before you skip ahead.
