It is surprisingly enjoyable.
Bad Guy My Boss is a BL series from Thailand and it has 12 episodes and 1 special episode where only good things happened. In reality, this is just what I want to have literally in every show. Unfortunately, this is not what I can say about the entire show. It is not the most inventive story but it is pretty decent. I actually enjoyed watching these stories be revealed to us. The story follows a CEO and his long-term secretary that he is trusting everything to but, of course, there are some hesitations as he is someone who is known for having multiple sex partners. I am not sure how he is getting so much time to have sex with people since they are always busy but here, he is having sex with so many people but he has one person that is like a regular and he already formed a friendship with him. This will set the conflict in the story and a lot more will be happening as some past relationships might come into play. So, yes, this is a vey stereotypical love story from BL storylines with possible unnecessary storylines in between but I am a bit surprised with myself because I feel like I am enjoying the show. I am really liking what I am seeing here and I do think that the characters are actually interesting. There is something about James Prescott’s Elyes that just makes me fall in love with the character. I think it is the charm. The acting is not superb but the acting is okay. He does not have the typical six-pack toned abs that we see on tops in BL series but I feel like he is still so hot. The confidence and the dominating feel to his character is so sexy that I wanted a man like him ASAP. Like seriously, he was hot and there are so many times in the show where what he is doing is not okay or supposed to not be okay like tailing Pat when he is out with his ex-girlfriend, power tripping, or having extremely personal relationship with his employee but it somehow felt okay for the character because they have known each other for a very long time and they have shared so much space together that there is a certain level of comfortability that is unknowingly established between the two of them and I respect that. I mean, we all have been like Pat with our work but we did not get the handsome CEO or the other perks of the job. I also felt like Pat is a part of how the company was built already. He is a workaholic and they always have things to talk about despite having been together the entire day. I am seriously not mad and I so in love with the love story of these two. I know that there are some red flags here and there especially him having other affairs that he knows but he they were not together at the time and he did not have sexual relationship with Kim anymore when he decided to pursue Pat. He showed that he is serious but he had a hard time committing which is surprisingly more normal now than before but I get that. I don’t think that it is a bad thing as long as they are on the same page about it. Again, respect begets respect. If what they want is different or none would like to adjust theirs, they don’t have to be together. I think that in this one, they decided that the relationship that they have would be more important than anything else and that they decided to be together and I don’t see a problem in that. There are other hindrances like the corporate fight but that added to more scenes for them to be together and it is not a well-written storyline but it is not too bad at all. It is watchable at the very least. Again, I actually enjoyed watching the show. James Prescott is hot. The love story of Elyes and Pat is pretty sweet now. The special episode was necessary for me.
