A Boss and a Babe (2023)

started good, ended not good

my comment is going to sound harsh, i feel like i wasted my time on this sorry not sorry
and im just glad it ended, gmmtv need to work on who to hire for script writers
i'am looking forward to their story in ourskyy2? no , most of ourskyy2 stories have been bad anyway, if you are going there for fanservice good ,just dont expect to see a good plot, and i dont really like wasting my time

going back about this serie, cher look like a red flag when he is in a relationship, is he going to think of breaking up or dissapear everytime there is a problem? while gun is a green flag he is all about communication and fixing any issue going on, sorry but gun is mature while cher is so immature, ghosting someone you love dearly and breaking their heart, then suddenly appearing again he is lucky gun forgave him so easily, and i understand why he didnt look after him when he left, he wanted him to be comfortable and to be happy, how much will you keep running after your partner who keep brushing you off? cher need character development!!

now that i completed the show, not gonna lie the start of the show got me hooked, the first episodes, but the latest eps have been not good it turned me off, the cute moments of them are good but i was not distracted about how bad the plot become, they introduced a heavy and dark story but it was not resolved, they forgot half of the plot or what? what was frustrating is it has been 12 eps there was plenty of time to resolve that issue but they just filled it with scenes that were not necessary, ,they wasted a lot of time showing cher taking a step back ,then step forward then again on repeat but ignored the real issues , they keep creating some unecessary drama that made me dislike the ML's character instead. if you are not going to properly resolve the dark story then better to just not include it, dont leave serious issues unsolved
and suddenly gun's mom is ok with their relationship.. i guess she realised its the last ep so she needed to accept them being together
its amazing how i loved cher's character a lot at the start of the show but ended up disliking his character later, whats good about the first eps is that it make you smile and its stress relief, it made me giggle a lot at that time , i guess thats why i did put up with it until the end, this should have ended in 8 eps not more
if i think of rewatching this show i will only rewatch the first few eps and stop there id save myself from a headache

They are everything to me. This was pure comfort.

After Enchanté I had very low expectations for these two again. I even thought it was just going to be a copy of GAP The Series, but with men. It was actually very similar to GAP, but it was hard for me to admit that it was even better (since I love GAP and put lesbians in priority 'cause they have less representation). Force and Book were absolutely amazing. They were always good together, but the plot of Enchanté didn't help them. A Boss and a Babe was very well produced, written and the acting was great. I love cat and dog couples and this is now one of my favorites. I have spent the last weeks just thinking about them and waiting for fridays to come, they made me very happy. I also loved how when they (barely) fought, it would last 2 min (for us) and then they would solve it.

a pleasant surprise

As always, these are just my thoughts and opinions and not intended to offend or upset :) Really, it’s just my rambles.

I’ll be honest, when this is a series I didn’t care about when it started. I didn’t actually give it a try until it was quite a few weeks in to airing, and even at that I only even watched because of Our Sky 2 and its upcoming special episodes. I’m actually mad at myself for not jumping on this as soon as it began because I fell in absolute love with this series.

This was my first time seeing Force and Book in anything and gosh, they give FirstKhao a run for their money when it comes to chemistry. I absolutely adored every scene they shared, and I cannot wait to dive into their other work.

The support cast was fantastic, especially Mike Chinniret as Jack; I know he almost always plays the best friend, but he’s just perfect in that role; I would, however, love to see him main his own series. He’s such a great actor.

I know the storyline it simple and cliche, but it was executed so perfectly that it was just a fun and easy to fall into. That’s not to say there wasn’t any angst or drama - there was plenty of that, and it was just as engrossing as the fluff.

Another Healthiest relationship

It was a good enjoyable BL show. Honestly, I didn't had much expectation to this show, but instead, it was way better than I expected. I was literally surprised by the improvement of ForceBook acting (from Enchante to this). Very well done boys!! and I always appreciate and cheer for actors who tend to improve their acting after every project. They are not exceptional actors in the first place, but they played their roles super well and did justice to their characters. Also, they look really good with each other, other than the fact that both are incredibly pretty.

But the highlight and takeaway from this series is the relationship between Gun and Cher. They are one of the healthiest couple. Everytime one has problem the other puts all his things and issues aside to just be there for him. It just makes my heart smile just looking at them.

I also liked the other characters. The friendship between Cher and his friends felt pure and good.

In terms of the story, There were some potholes in the story especially the introduction of some heavy topics in a lighthearted show. Even though they managed to cover in solving those issues in the end, it seemed a bit rushed.

Overall the good acting and chemistry of each of the characters in the show somehow saved the show and made it intresting.

Note: Forcebook really need to do more mature roles. They just slay. Specially Book, like I was soo impressed in the scenes where he gets angry. The scene where he fights with Gun and the Bathroom scene where he just lashes out ,was soo good. He does these kind of roles soo well. Plese give ForceBook more angry roles!!!. I am sure it will be a hit.

cute,light hearted and hilarious, watch with an open mind?

Ah yes, Gmmtv delivered once again. ForceBook's chemistry was great in this series, this storyline suited them better than Enchanté, especially for book. So many funny moments and Jack and cher's friendship is the most sincere I've ever seen Jack is so caring towards cher. Three and Zo, 1 word, cute😂.

what I liked:

• ForceBook chemistry greatly improved
• funny moments
• office characters especially Aoi
• Jack and cher's friendship 💚
• cher's friendship group (especially Zo and three)
• addressed numerous serious life issues
• Refreshing light plot with little drama

what I didn't like:
• the kissing scenes were a bit awkward NGL😂
• the main plot twist was a bit too srs for such a light story
• thoop didn't really show any usefulness to the story


But overall so fun and fluffy greatly recommended.

Cute but not much else

This is mostly cute and fluffy and ForceBook are very watchable, but there wasn't much else beyond that.

First off I feel like they got together way too quickly, I think it would have served them better to make it more of a slow burn. The way their relationship developed often seemed a bit directionless, which goes especially for the last two episodes which were honestly a waste of time.

I liked Cher's back story and especially his moments with Thup, but most of the time Cher seemed immature as a character and didn't learn to express his feelings. Gun's character lacked depth which is a shame, and it bothered me that he seemed to let his mum walk all over Cher and their relationship.

Despite my issues with the story, there are lots of sweet moments and it's a good pick if you want a light watch.

What the hell was that plot

ABAB should have just stayed the fluffy story between Cher and Gun for 12 episodes. Would it be boring? Maybe. But I prefer that to whatever the loving god we got instead. I am seriously struggling to pick which BL got a dumber and worse written plot between ABAB and Cutie Pie. Cutie Pie might actually be better, which is saying SOMETHING.

The first half was fine. Actually, I really like Cher. He is a really refreshing BL character and I look Book's acting. They were couply and cute and having fun, like that's nice! We like nice things!!

Then they went and fucked over the second half.

The plot makes no sense whatsoever, what was the point of the whole ex bff? It rarely did anything for the plot. Cher basically breaking up with Gun in his head 500 times and irl 5 times and then Gun's mom only purpose is being a pain in the ass, she's not even one of these bitchier mother-in-laws. Her character makes no sense. She didn't even offer money!!! And then suddenly did a 180 like what?

Apropos 180! What the FUCK was Gun's character whiplash in episode 9? It didn't even fit his character and then there were NO CONSEQUENCES FOR HIM!! NONE!!! NOT EVEN A WORD!!! Literally ruined Gun for me.

And why the fuck was that co-worker who basically came outta nowhere the one sending the information??? Why did they built this up SO POORLY??

Either way, if I would rant about everything I hated, I'd never finish.

What I liked: The friend group is nice. I know some find Zo and Three useless to the plot, but I'd take them over the senseless plot any time. Jack was (trying to be) a good friend. I did like how they included he has depression and how everyone was chill bout it but they incorporated it so poorly, I wanna start ranting again.
I also think it's cool they talked about marriage equality in Thailand.

That being said: Why the hell would you build the last 10 minutes of ep 12 like it's a proposal AND THEN IT ISN'T???

Okay, done ranting. The drama is fine. Plotwise a black hole. If you ignore any sense you can like it enough, I guess. I am, however, rooting for ForceBook in Only Friends!

Definitely had potential…

I don’t understand the bad reviews but everyone has their opinion. This is the first series I watched with ForceBook, and I didn’t think it was that bad. I liked the characters and felt like they were suiting to the actors and how they were portrayed. At times I did feel like the plot was lacking but the times that the plot was interesting and captivating made up for it. It was very lighthearted but had a twist with some dark or deep themes which at times seemed like it was thrown in there. The acting was really good and I did enjoy the cast. I did enjoy this BL and I feel like GMMTV did kind of good with this type of concept.

I’m excited to see more ForceBook and probably will get around to watching their first series they did together in the future. Also I was very excited to see Drake in this drama since he barely gets casted these days. Hopefully we see him more in future series as a main character or main supporting character.

So many unanswered questions..

When will these writers realize that if a plot point is important enough to put into the show as a conflict, it should dang well get a resolution?!

There were so many ideas introduced into this series that just didn't get the attention or closure that they deserved. The ones that did got an off-the-cuff comment and that's it. I understand that the focus is on the main couple but as a viewer, we also became invested in Jack, Time, Thian and Thoop, just to name a few of the side characters who were used for drama but then discarded with no regard to their storyline.

Especially Thian and Thoop.. like seriously.. that's some serious stuff going on there and we don't know what comes of it. Did the stepfather go to jail? Did the mother leave him? If so, why did it take her until her son went to jail for one night instead of doing something about her daughter being attacked and driven to suicide?! WTF

And poor Jack.. nothing is done about the video game and his mental illness is kinda washed aside with a fleeting mention that he doesn't have to take the pills anymore.

I really wanted to like this series but there was just too much left out while there was too much introduced without going anywhere. The love story actually had a decent arc and I really liked that they were older in the work force instead of the typical high school/university students. The acting was good within the main cast and it was fun seeing Drake in a role other than "one of the firends."

I actually really liked it

I like ForceBook and I love Force, but I was really really underwhelmed by Enchante. The actors did their best, but either the writing was weak or they just butchered it in the editing room. Boss and a Babe, however, is a huge jump forward. It was really cute and fun. I loved the Gunn/Cher chemistry. It was a really great opposite attracts story. Also, Mike looked REALLY good in this. The last show I saw him in was Mama Gogo and he was not really cute at all, but give the boy a nice haircut and put him on a Ducati motorcycle in a leather jacket and he is suddenly full hunk material. I also want to give a shoutout to Aoi as the sassy office coworker. Her facial expressions alone were worth the price of the ticket.
