A love story that lost its spark
Boss & Me (2014) is, unfortunately, a very mediocre drama. There is a lot of talking and very little actual action. I honestly had to force myself to finish it, and I fast-forwarded through the last episodes just to get to the end.
I kept waiting for meaningful moments of intimacy between the two main characters, but Feng Tang remains emotionally stiff and almost expressionless throughout the entire series. One major part of the story focuses on Li Shu’s obsession with Feng Tang, which becomes frustrating because too much emphasis is placed on her sadness and emotional suffering.
There are many things to say about the way Feng Tang treats Shan Shan. His behavior is contradictory: sometimes he is kind and we see his good intentions, but other times he gives her orders and treats her like a child. He kisses her on the forehead so many times — more like a father than a romantic partner. Over time, it feels like his personality slowly kills the playful and charming side of Shan Shan that we saw at the beginning.
The drama started strong, with her cute and funny reactions, which made me believe it would be something special. That’s what kept me watching. But in the end, it becomes disappointing. I won’t give spoilers, but the final part is poorly written and unnecessary.
The series is also too long — I genuinely feel like I wasted my time.
Personally, I would not recommend it.
