My most favorite thing about the whole show is the fact that Shin Min Ah’s character could take insane amounts of damage and never get harmed. She used this martial arts skill to put on a school play in which she was the Mighty Princess and the co-stars tried to beat the snot out of her. It was lots of fun and I totally recommend it!

The second installment continued to show the evolution of the cast. I enjoyed this show more than It Started With a Kiss. It had a lot to do with the fact they weren't in high school and were dealing with more mature obstacles and issues. Xiang Qin matured a lot in this show, and I appreciated that. The character was a little hard to handle in the previous installment. But I liked her a lot more this time around.
I absolutely loved the chemistry between Joe Cheng and Ariel Lin in It Started With a Kiss was phenomenal. I didn't think it could get better, however, their chemistry was even better with this series. I loved their every scene, they were closer and more tender towards one another then even in the first show. I could really see that they were in love as characters and that made me adore this installment even more when it was just the two of them.
Outside of their interactions at home Zhi Shu became even colder then he had been in the first season. I can understand what his intentions were, he wanted Xiang Qin to become independent because she relied on Zhi Shu for everything. However, I didn't feel that was the right approach, she was such an emotional person that by turning away from her all Zhi Shu managed to do was make her act worse. In the end it did manage to help her grow and mature, but it took awhile.
Between It Started With a Kiss and They Kiss Again the entire story was fifty episodes long. Even though I liked They Kiss Again better as a whole it took a very long time for me to finish it. The story had stretched on and on, expanding on each obstacle or issue so that it felt too long. I feel that it would have been even better had they shortened the number of episodes in It Started With a Kiss, fifty was just too long.

This was so fluffy and sweet and adorable and the love story was so wonderful. Feng Teng was cold and calculating and closed off from love. Shan Shan was silly and not quite the smartest girl in the room, but she always saw the positives. Together they were cute and so freaking sweet and watching Feng Teng melt and fall in love was so much fun. Honestly, I think that was one of the highlights. The way he slowly melted and fell deeply in love with Shan Shan was so much fun to watch. I couldn't have asked for a more fluffy and bubbly romance. It was exactly what I wanted!
Every moment that the OTP shared was beautiful. From their first encounter all the way through to the finale episode. I felt like the actors had the most amazing chemistry and that chemistry enhanced the on screen performance in the best way. It wasn't just the lead couple that had excellent rapport, it was the entire cast. Feng Teng and his best friend Handsome Qi had great interactions. Shan Shan, her cousin Liu Liu, and their friend Shuang Yi had such a great on screen bond that it added an extra layer of fun and enjoyment to the show for me. The OTP moments were amazing, even when Feng Teng was watching Shan Shan through the window in his office there was a wonderful tension and attraction there. This OTP is definitely in my top five!
As with Love O2O, there was very little drama in the story for Boss & Me. Every story has to have some conflict in order for there to be some substance. However, when it becomes so overwhelming that the story drags and nothing can move forward that's what I have a hard time getting through. There was very little unnecessary drama in this show which was great. The obstacles and issues that the OTP and group faced were within the realm of reason and added to the story instead of halting all forward momentum.
In all honesty the things that I did not like were few and far between. I'm totally ok with that! Really, really alright with that. And, these few things could be labeled as more nitpicking than anything else. None of these were negative enough to make my watch of the show drag or unpleasant, so I count that as a huge win!
