A preview article based on information provided by the broadcaster.

On KBS2's 'My Demon's Boss,' 4th-grader Sim Ji-won, who calls himself the successor to Chairman Im Chae-moon, embarks on a mission to acquire reptiles.

'My Demon's Boss' (directed by Ahn Sang-eun), a program where Korean bosses voluntarily practice empathy and self-reflection to create a workplace that makes people want to work, recorded its highest viewership rating of 6.9% in the previous episode, maintaining its undisputed No. 1 spot in its time slot for 177 consecutive weeks.

The 329th episode, airing today (2nd), will showcase the three generations of Duriland – Chairman Im Chae-moon, who is struggling with deficits, his daughter Im Go-woon, head of the Operations Planning Office, and his 4th-grade grandson Sim Ji-won – uniting to save Duriland.

Amidst this, Sim Ji-won, harboring ambitions for Duriland's inheritance, seeks out Outsider, a rapper and ambassador for amphibians and reptiles, for an children's experience program. Astonished by the numerous rare reptiles, Ji-won sets his sights on a turtle worth 900 million won, despite the budget being between 5 to 10 million won, much to Chairman Im Chae-moon's bewilderment.

Following the 'Green Basilisk' that runs on water, and a 'Tegu' lizard worth 2 million won, Ji-won exclaims, “They are so cool,” quickly falling for them. However, Im Chae-moon expresses sensitivity about the price, stating, “These guys are more expensive than my own worth.” Jeon Hyun-moo sympathizes, “The grandson seems disappointed.”

But Ji-won is not one to give up. What captivated him was none other than the 'Aldabra giant tortoise.' From feeding to cleaning its shell, Ji-won immerses himself in the experience, exclaiming, “I've never seen such a big turtle in my life.” When Outsider reveals that the monthly maintenance fee is 3 million won, and each turtle costs 150 million won, totaling 900 million won, Ji-won, like a true successor, boldly requests, “Grandpa, please buy them all for me.” Im Chae-moon jokes, “I guess I’ll have to go to Africa,” to which Ji-won retorts, “I will go to Africa,” showcasing a father-son-like, equally passionate love for Duriland. Attention is focused on the main broadcast of 'My Demon's Boss' to see if Ji-won's daring investment can turn Duriland's fortunes around.

'My Demon's Boss' airs every Sunday at 4:40 PM.

Netizens are expressing anticipation for the episode, with comments like 'The child successor's scale is already different!', 'Looking forward to the chemistry between grandpa and grandson,' and 'Please save Duriland!' showing support for Sim Ji-won's bold investment and Duriland's potential revival.
