Hide the Boss (2024)

Sassy FL, sweet ML, smart kid...what's not to like about this drama?!

Found this drama while perusing Youtube channel. I was intrigued by ML being a gangster boss so I watched this drama.

What I liked:
1. FL characterisation - Shen Zhu Xin was sassy, smart & funny. I liked how she bonded quickly with the kid. Song Yu Jia excelled in this role. I liked her reaction upon finding out the truth about the daughter & I also liked her decision to be apart while figuring things out.
2. Romance - Their kissing scenes were hot but what I enjoyed most was the progress of their relationship from strangers to co-parents then lovers.
3. Outfits - ML looked damn fine and handsome in all his outfits. I especially loved the all black ensemble he wore when his love rival treated them to lunch.
4. ML characterisation - Despite his background, he was a sweet man. It's refreshing to see a loving single dad with full custody of his child on vertical drama. I really liked that he was respecful of FL and didn't coerce or threaten her to forgive him. Cheng Cheng was great in this role as he was able to portray different sides (tough boss, caring father, sweet lover) of his character. His voice & physicality reminded me of Korean idol-actor Ok Taecyeon.
5. Supporting characters - I liked the daughter and ML's right hand man. They were such delight to watch!
6. Prejudice - It's great that writer demonstrated different types of prejudice e.g. poor person, kid brought up by single parent, former gangster.

What I disliked:
1. FL's family - Another drama with bad family members. The arc was short but that restaurant scene was entertaining.

Enjoy this separation at birth mother and child drama.

I was on Song Yujia marathon drama last year and found Cheng Cheng. He may not most handsome actor but his acting skill are quite good compared to another handsome actor.

It's a very cliché story: FL slept with someone years ago and had a child, but for some reason, the child was raised by the ML, and the FL thought the child was dead.

ML was quite ex-convict who actually decent guy. FL was not saint she was tortured by her mother and cut ties with her family after she know they contributed to kidnapping her child .Love how Song Yujia got bond with the child making the drama is slightly higher than other same theme drama.

Villain is too stereotypical. SFL went on one blind date with the ML, doesn't even know what he does, yet she's smitten by ML.
