A Boss and a Babe

More like a fanboy and a chatterbox

This is such a cute series from the start! I like that it is light and funny (actually, it wasn’t as light and funny as I expected), especially as I have been watching some quite dark and heavy stuff lately. While the main theme of the series is nothing new, I absolutely love what they did with the characters. I also think it’s very fun to have a game company and gaming competitions be a part of the series, even if I hoped to see more of it.

Gun & Cher: I find Cher absolutely adorable, both the way he acts and just how talkative he is. He is unapologetically himself. But he also shows a sense of maturity and understanding for those around him, which might be due to his past. He is not childish to the point of it being annoying, he is simply being himself. Or maybe that’s his way of hiding the pain. Boss Gun is an interesting character too; we learn pretty quickly that there are some events from his past that are still bothering him. And that not everyone in his life is supportive of him. And he’s Cher’s fan, how cute! Cher was first introduced as someone who brings out the more relaxed side of Gun, but I think Gun quickly became a safe person for Cher. Yet he never pressures him into sharing more than he is willing to, he simply lets him know he is there for him when he is ready to talk. Another thing that I absolutely love is the attention to details – even the way Gun and Cher sit while having breakfast really shows how their personalities are.

I also absolutely love the fact that whatever happens between Cher and Gun is always consensual. Gun is in a position of power and that is something he could easily use to get what he wants, yet he never really pressures Cher into anything. Cher can always refuse something, and Gun doesn’t get mad at him. If anything, Cher seems to be the more daring one between the two, erasing all the “normal” boundaries of boss-intern, even friend-friend, relationships. I feel that their excellent communication also helps with showing that Gun is not taking advantage of his position. They talk very openly about everything, and I find that very refreshing. It’s nice to see.

Another thing that I really want to praise is the way they talked about LGBTQ+ community. There is a lot of gossip happening around the office about boss and his preferences. The first time Cher put them in their place, I wanted to clap. Or adressing how rude it is to speculate about who is a top and who is a bottom - like you don't ask a straight couple in what position they do it, so why would you do that to a gay couple?

Force and Book have great chemistry on screen. I think they did great with portraying their characters. I also think their visuals really fit the characters well, so that was a great casting decision. Not sure how similar they are to their roles in real life, but I am sure that Cher’s constant chatting was a challenge for Book, but he pulled it off.

Zo & Three: They are adorable, especially for already being an established couple. I am living for the short, cute, and sweet moments between them. Three seems to have some anger issues, he is very quick to blow up. But Zo seems to be able to handle him pretty well. There’s probably a story behind this, but we didn’t really get to know it.

Jack is also a character I like a lot. He has a lot on his plate, including his depression, yet he is such a great friend to Cher. I do feel we are missing some backstory to Jack. And also how the whole friend group came to be. He might appear a bit rough on the edges sometimes, but I think his straight-to-the-point personality also helps to keep Cher grounded. Cher’s cheerfulness and slightly impulsive behavior keep Jack on his toes. I know some people don’t like him sticking his nose into Cher’s relationship with Gun, but Jack didn’t mean anything bad. He wanted to make sure his friend won’t get hurt in the end.

I have mixed feelings about Porsche. There are moments where I feel like his relationship with Gun is very weird and too close for someone who used to be a couple. But at the same time, it makes a lot of sense as Gun is not someone who opens easily. He finds it hard to let people in. It was nice to see how supportive the two were though, we usually get exes who are ready to do anything to either destroy each other's happiness or want to get back together.

Ah, Thoop. I knew there was going to be something more than just him being a brat. And while what Tian went through is heartbreaking, Thoop’s guilt is no less painful. I also understand why he acted the way he did. And his reaction when he saw Gun and Cher together makes a lot of sense.

The whole Thyme situation is one that didn’t really get a full closure. I guess one could say it did, but it still feels like there was still a lot unsaid and unfinished.

And I think it’s great that they don’t tend to drag conflicts through multiple episodes but get them resolved fairly quickly. It makes it more realistic, but it also doesn’t ruin the anticipation for new episodes.

The OST is really catchy as well. I really like it. I like the intro as well. And I found the boss and intern characters adorable!

They are everything to me. This was pure comfort.

After Enchanté I had very low expectations for these two again. I even thought it was just going to be a copy of GAP The Series, but with men. It was actually very similar to GAP, but it was hard for me to admit that it was even better (since I love GAP and put lesbians in priority 'cause they have less representation). Force and Book were absolutely amazing. They were always good together, but the plot of Enchanté didn't help them. A Boss and a Babe was very well produced, written and the acting was great. I love cat and dog couples and this is now one of my favorites. I have spent the last weeks just thinking about them and waiting for fridays to come, they made me very happy. I also loved how when they (barely) fought, it would last 2 min (for us) and then they would solve it.

This is for those who love cute and fluffy yet serious Bl

I haven't written a review in a long time for a Bl series but this one got me hooked. A Boss and his babe is deserving of all praises and accolades that it has received and more


Plot: This Bl series follows the life of an intern student Cher and his office Boss Gun. It's the story of their growing budding romance as they deal with issue from the past and present bordering friendship, love,death, mental and health disorders and so forth. This is simply the cute story of a Boss whose heart was broken and an intern who hasn't recovered from the death of his friend.
Why this might sound easy to understand the plot is rather more complicated as it draws its story not just from Cher and Gun but also from associates, family members and friends.

ROMANCE: In the series Cher is not sure of his feelings for Gun,Gun is confident of winning him however. The two main character exhibit a type of chemistry one sees in cute and mature series. There's serious talks on being gay, understanding your friends when they're down or moody, fighting for one's right,there's even the funny scene in which Cher protests over the delay in signing the equality marriage act which will enable LGBTQ to be officially recognized in Thailand, there's no time for dallying over ex boyfriends or girlfriends; no silly Bl breakup or quarrel over useless misunderstandings , every single statement they make leads to the further advancement of their relationship. Gun and Cher has also developed the new method of conveying emotions and feelings by laying down on each other's laps and shoulders, winking and of course facial expressions. There's no toxicity and no forced scene everything is moving gently but quickly to a progressive end

There's no doubt that of all currently airing Thai Bl series if not all Bl series currently airing that a Boss and his babe is the most plot wise and solid offering us succor in a time when most Thai Bl series now emphasize the bed and not the relationship.
If the series maintain its current trajectory it's going to be one of the best GMMTV has ever released

A boss and a babe review

My name is jimmy i am 29 and i am from the uk. I have been watching bl for 7 years now and this one is brilliant i love it. It is not perfect and it is not bad it really is a amazing story however there are just 2 issues i have with it. Its nothing to do with the actors or the story itself its to do with the bl episode time itss all weird time the episode is not on long enough, you play on youtube part 1 13 min part 2 9 min part 3 9 min part 4 14 min. The second issue with it is that on those parts 4 min is advert of the next episode or a really long song that takes from the episode itself. You should keep a consistant time of 15 min per part because we need more time in watching, its way to short we really need more of it to watch. I am not saying the bl is bad because it really is amazing to watch the story and the cast of it play there role so well it is believable, and the story paints a big picture for other young lgbtq, it gives them hope and a sense of your not alone it teaches us morals and values. Please keep up the work very insperational just please fix the timing issue and it will be almost perfect. Thankyou jimmy

Another Healthiest relationship

It was a good enjoyable BL show. Honestly, I didn't had much expectation to this show, but instead, it was way better than I expected. I was literally surprised by the improvement of ForceBook acting (from Enchante to this). Very well done boys!! and I always appreciate and cheer for actors who tend to improve their acting after every project. They are not exceptional actors in the first place, but they played their roles super well and did justice to their characters. Also, they look really good with each other, other than the fact that both are incredibly pretty.

But the highlight and takeaway from this series is the relationship between Gun and Cher. They are one of the healthiest couple. Everytime one has problem the other puts all his things and issues aside to just be there for him. It just makes my heart smile just looking at them.

I also liked the other characters. The friendship between Cher and his friends felt pure and good.

In terms of the story, There were some potholes in the story especially the introduction of some heavy topics in a lighthearted show. Even though they managed to cover in solving those issues in the end, it seemed a bit rushed.

Overall the good acting and chemistry of each of the characters in the show somehow saved the show and made it intresting.

Note: Forcebook really need to do more mature roles. They just slay. Specially Book, like I was soo impressed in the scenes where he gets angry. The scene where he fights with Gun and the Bathroom scene where he just lashes out ,was soo good. He does these kind of roles soo well. Plese give ForceBook more angry roles!!!. I am sure it will be a hit.

Could’ve been 10 eps

So overall I liked this show, but it had the potential to be a love it show.

Force and Book really carried this show because there were some draggy episodes and some unnecessary plot points. Overall it could’ve been 10 eps.

They added some plot points that were left either unresolved or poorly solved

SOME SPOILERY BUT NOT TRUE SPOILER PLOT HOLES:

-Drake’s character and the stealing the company secrets, he kept denying it, so they could’ve added a plot twist. His friendship with Boss just fizzles and we get no deeper backstory either?
-Jack’s depression & failed prior relationship, they mentioned both several times but it added nothing to the main plot line so why keep mentioning them as if they were important to the story. I thought they’d throw us a curveball but I’m glad they didn’t make his depression a reason why he does something unsavory. (Which is why I thought that’s why they kept mentioning it).
-Tian, Thoop & the fam, so you gonna tell me they made Thoop’s arrest and fam confrontation such a big deal and then ‘resolve’ it off cam and now the fam is A Ok afterwards? Sorry the mom is unforgivable. F$#k that B1tch!
-Three & Zo were beyond cute as a couple but they had no major value add to the main GunCher plot line.

And lastly, Gun aka Boss fell in love with Cher’s voice because of ASMR vids he did, they didn’t film or show not one vid of Cher doing ASMR. It became almost irrelevant after ep 2.

A Boss and a babe is a rockstar

The series is excellent! This is the fifth time I've seen this series and it still kills me with laughter every time. The combination of Cher and Gun is perfect one is super animated and outgoing while the other is serious and totally introverted. So their personalities clash which makes all their interactions at first hilarious. But later they learn to treat and appreciate each other and their relationship becomes preciously special.

To me this series is amazing, from start to finish. But what I really find unique about A Boss and a Babe are the simple but so meaningful moments. How their relationship evolves and becomes so important. How they support each other. I really feel like every interaction of theirs warms my heart.

I also love that it's such a comedic series but its dramatic scenes are so intense. Book and Force's performance in their fights makes my skin crawl.

I have nothing more to add, I think people who don't like this series is because they are not used to the kind of cartoonish humor of Asian series.

cute,light hearted and hilarious, watch with an open mind?

Ah yes, Gmmtv delivered once again. ForceBook's chemistry was great in this series, this storyline suited them better than Enchanté, especially for book. So many funny moments and Jack and cher's friendship is the most sincere I've ever seen Jack is so caring towards cher. Three and Zo, 1 word, cute😂.

what I liked:

• ForceBook chemistry greatly improved
• funny moments
• office characters especially Aoi
• Jack and cher's friendship 💚
• cher's friendship group (especially Zo and three)
• addressed numerous serious life issues
• Refreshing light plot with little drama

what I didn't like:
• the kissing scenes were a bit awkward NGL😂
• the main plot twist was a bit too srs for such a light story
• thoop didn't really show any usefulness to the story


But overall so fun and fluffy greatly recommended.

Definitely had potential…

I don’t understand the bad reviews but everyone has their opinion. This is the first series I watched with ForceBook, and I didn’t think it was that bad. I liked the characters and felt like they were suiting to the actors and how they were portrayed. At times I did feel like the plot was lacking but the times that the plot was interesting and captivating made up for it. It was very lighthearted but had a twist with some dark or deep themes which at times seemed like it was thrown in there. The acting was really good and I did enjoy the cast. I did enjoy this BL and I feel like GMMTV did kind of good with this type of concept.

I’m excited to see more ForceBook and probably will get around to watching their first series they did together in the future. Also I was very excited to see Drake in this drama since he barely gets casted these days. Hopefully we see him more in future series as a main character or main supporting character.

I actually really liked it

I like ForceBook and I love Force, but I was really really underwhelmed by Enchante. The actors did their best, but either the writing was weak or they just butchered it in the editing room. Boss and a Babe, however, is a huge jump forward. It was really cute and fun. I loved the Gunn/Cher chemistry. It was a really great opposite attracts story. Also, Mike looked REALLY good in this. The last show I saw him in was Mama Gogo and he was not really cute at all, but give the boy a nice haircut and put him on a Ducati motorcycle in a leather jacket and he is suddenly full hunk material. I also want to give a shoutout to Aoi as the sassy office coworker. Her facial expressions alone were worth the price of the ticket.

i really like this series

To be honest, "A boss and a babe" is better that "Enchante". Of course, I liked "Enchante" because of Force and Book, but in this series their acting is way better in my opion. Cher is so innocent, have a sense of humor, always cheerful and optimistic. On the other hand, Gun was the opossite of him - he didnt enjoy anything, was always busy, but fall in love with Cher in the second he saw him. Because of Cher, Gun started to enjoy life, gather with Cher`s friends, find the real love. Everything was sweet and pure. There wasn`t such a drama between them. Gun`s mother didn`t like Cher in the beginning, because he was an intern; they didn`t tell anyone because of this.
When I watched the first episode, i was hypnotised. Force is such a hot guy, Book is also handsome, and I think there is chemistry between them. In "Enchante" we didnt notice the chemistry, because lack of the romantic stuff between them.
For me its 10/10 - acting, chemistry, plot, its a breath of fresh air, not hard to watch. I will watch another series with Force and Book!

Nothing but good entertainment

Well crafted, well cast throughout, good camera, very good entertainment.
I can recommend this series to anyone who just wants to be entertained.
The series is entertaining and ... yes. That's about it.

Let's get to the negative.
I'm not a fan of "sometimes yes, then no, then yes again, or better no and in the end yes again".
No worries, this series has only one outliner like this. But still not neccesary.

Also, the characters could go into a little more depth.
If it goes too deep, then it wouldn't be pure deep relaxed entertainment anymore. But it can't hurt the series if everyone gets a little more depth. Example? Sure, first the parents of both leads come up way too short. Then everyone in the office. There are the gossip-aunts and the "good guys." That's all the division there is. But you don't get to know anything about their lives.
Even with the friends, it remains very superficial. The main roles could also be a bit more detailed.
The music is not worth mentioning. It fits.

Why this good rating?
It is gentle and good entertainment. No big problems are pushed back and forth here, no over the top drama. Sweet and funny. I felt well entertained.

What do you think of the movie? Leave me a comment and I'll get to it!

Have fun
