clingyness overload!!
My Boss (2024) turned out to be an unexpectedly emotional and engaging ride. While the storyline had its ups and downs, what truly carried the drama for me were the incredible performances from the cast and the beautiful, heartfelt OSTs. Zhou Yiran and Sabrina Zhuang gave such natural, compelling performances that you couldn’t help but root for them even when the script didn’t always do their characters justice.
One thing that stood out in a negative way was the portrayal of the male lead. While the actor delivered a strong performance, the writing gave him traits that made him hard to root for at times. He was overly clingy, controlling, and lacked a proper redemption arc. There were moments where a deeper exploration of his flaws and true growth could’ve made his character more redeemable, but instead, his development felt rushed or brushed off. This imbalance was frustrating especially because Ruonan was written with more emotional depth, maturity, and restraint.
Despite this, the chemistry between the leads, the emotionally loaded dialogues, and the warmth of the supporting cast helped make the show memorable. The soundtrack added another level of poignancy, often elevating scenes with its timing and sentiment.
Overall, My Boss (2024) is still a worthwhile drama to watch especially if you love slow-burn romances and character-driven narratives. Just don’t expect a perfectly balanced love story.
