This episode was three quarters great and one quarter… weird. The whole ‘Jaab is dating Paint (who?) but he couldn’t come to the party’ just came out of nowhere. And Mr. Jeng in the last bed scene was out of character, it was as if he hadn’t been warned about Pat literally the minute before. I get that he was in love and in denial but he was delusional in that scene. Like the Jaab thing, it was rushed. And Pat dear, we love you but you’re not boss material.
Nepo BABY (nepotism baby) is how people call those children of celebrities who succeed because of their parents. Since Pat is not Jeng’s son but his soon-to-be lover, I thought it would be better to call him Nepo BABE.
Having found the original series one of stupidest things ever, I gotta say these two special episodes were actually good. Although it takes a while to land, it’s got better rhythm, more focus, and funnier gags. Maybe it’s the dynamics: Cher and Gun are much more interesting as an established couple.
Episode 5 was the best so far. It’s a slow burn that’s starting to pay off. This is a full-blown drama series, that is, there’s lots of stuff happening around the main romantic plot. It’s like a soapie or a telenovela and it’s really refreshing to see how they try to go beyond the BL romance format. I’m still genuinely surprised with the writing. Yes, it’s silly but it’s adult silly. Everyone’s got their opportunity to shine. Ae and Chot are fabulous as always, we feel sorry for Put, Jen & Jaab cute as usual and I love that they allow Pat to walk around wearing a pajama shirt!
(I see some borderline nasty comments about Ben. The kid’s handsome and he’s doing just fine. Let’s hope some of these negative remarks have nothing to do with the fact that he’s darker skinned and looks more like an average Thai guy than the typical BL star.)
But the workplace environment and if you recognise certain types from your real life isn't the reason most or…
Maybe the series was marketed as something else. When I started watching, I knew nothing about it and got hooked. Pat’s faces don’t bother me. I only realised they were an issue after reading the comments here. He just strikes me as a kid with a temper forced to grow up and navigate toxic co-workers.
Two well written episodes (which is much more than I can say about all the 9 episodes of A Boss and a Babe): it's funny, people do work, engaging side characters, the main characters have flaws aka they’re human, and everybody acts like a grown-up even when they're being childish. Some people here are missing the romance but I understand the really slow burn. And there's an ex so we're gonna have a triangle. Yes, it's an over-the-top workplace but anyone who's worked at an office can recognize some of those types in the series. Loving it.
I’m getting tired of guys splashing water at each other on the beach. Really, they don’t even take off their shirts. What’s the point? I miss the time when they would teach the C chord on the guitar. At least it was more romantic.
Look, i saw some people commenting about how everyone is on JaeWoons side when he is an asshole and that what…
Interesting to see that people are thinking of him as a jerk. The therapy scenes made what he is doing perfectly clear to me: he feels guilty, he thinks of his brother, he is terrified of something bad happening to Jihyun, he is shunning Jihyun out of love (or that's what he thinks).
One of the things I like the most about this series is that the villains are mean bastards who don't hold back but still feel very true to life. That what makes the confrontations so satisfying. Kudos to Park Hae In e Jang Young Joon for the amazing work. Heck, the whole cast is great.
Then he sent you back to Bangkok to live on your own.
Logic is not an entry in Mame’s dictionary.
