> It is not a hard-hitting drama. Quite easy to watch. Endearingly warm and plays out very well. There’s some real sense of humour, a lot of adorable moments that would make you squeal, I sure have.> FL is filled with cuteness, but seriously dense at times. Shan Shan definitely had a hard time understanding ML introverted personality. Since she’s so naïve, naturally, it would be difficult for her to read an atmosphere. Let me just add: Shan Sha alcohol tolerance is off the chart.
> Love ML! I especially love the way he gets FL to summit by threating her with pay-cuts and bounce reductions, and Shan Shan ain’t having that (girl would agree with anything if it meant her money won’t get affected) Hahahaha!
Both Leads dialogues are good, and it was great to watch their interactions.
SUPPORTING CAST:
> Huang You Ming played Wu Tong in Love and Redemption, but he looked especially beautiful in this series. His acting isn’t bad either. I could easily see him fit into the ML role.
I missed Zheng Qi and Shan Shan interactions. As the story progress, it became less and less. What a shame! Both are the most relax when they’re interacting (I don’t mean that in a romantic kind of way) Perhaps that’s why their interactions looked natural and fun to watch.
> ML Secretary. Her name starts with “M”. I like her. Usually, they’re in love with ML, but not here. Secretary face is always pleasant when dealing with FL.
> ML Childhood Friend. What a snake! (Hahahah!) It's been what, 10-12 yrs? If he didn't show interest during that time, even without her confession, he will never be interested. So annoying!
> Shan Shan's Aunt is crazy asf! The writers should have made her mute! Seriously.
Never thought I would watch till the end —since I tend to get bored real fast when it comes to dramas like Boss & Me (Historical with & without romance… Martial Arts… Wuxia… Adventure—are my favourite) However, I binge watched this drama and it was totally worth it!
Though the story is nothing original, everyone / thing was enjoyable in Boss and Me.

To be honest, i haven't listened to the music as i watch english subs but still reading the lyrics made me feel its nice. Actually i think all the chinese musics are light and soothing, especially the traditional instruments.
short and precise is best 'cause not many people have time to read all those lengthy reviews.

Story: 8.0
With the overall story, I thought it was very well perceived. A young woman freshly out of college gets a job at a very famous company. She finds out she got in because of her blood type this “panda” blood. The CEO, the brother of the women she helped save, falls for her innocence and naive personality, while later stays in love when he realizes how strong she is underneath it all. They break up, or “on a break” get back together, happy ending. It's a typical romantic comedy. With some exceptions, in the end you are happy for the female rival, and happy that they become good friends. The male lead goes after her instead of the other way around. And the family dynamic that is present in a lot of rich boy, poor girl, is missing.
Though I enjoyed the journey and loved watching it, I found myself slightly disappointed that it gave into some of the typical cliches that dramas tend to do, such as the misunderstood because he hides things from her. The women being nice to her face, but secretly going behind her back on everything. The long drawn out story arc’s that could have been solved in relatively two episodes instead of five.
I liked the last little bump they had to go through in order to get together. I think it should have been a bigger story plot than it was, because it made you happy to see Shan Shan achieve the success she did.
I think what would have improved this for me, is if the cousin’s Liu Liu’s love story started earlier, instead of in the last two episodes. Everyone else's was so drawn out, that hers just seemed to be rushed and unplanned.
Overall the story is interesting and isn’t boring what’s so ever, just a few things I personally didn’t quite care for, but that doesn’t mean it was portrayed badly in any given circumstances.
Acting/Casting: 9.5
I think the thing that makes this story so well done, is the acting. The casting was perfect, though I might have gone for someone different to play Wang Pin Ruo, just because she didn’t really seem fit for me. But it was such a minor character, she served her purpose well that I didn’t think much of it until after the show ended.
The two leads chemistry is what kept me coming back towards the middle where the story started to slow down in pace. The breaking out of the stern rich man character was very well portrayed, while Shan Shan’s innocence was portrayed in a way that gave people hope instead of hating the character. You saw her happiness diminish as she struggled to go through the ups and downs of being connected to such a big power. Overall the acting and casting was very done, which I believe makes this one of the main reasons people recommend this drama.
Music: 9.5
One thing I would change about the music is the use of English lyrics. It's only thing because I found myself slightly distracted by the english lyrics, I found that what they were saying fit with the tone that they were trying to do, but with them speaking over it, it was hard to concentrate. But everything was fantastic. They knew when to play music, when not. When to play dramatic instrumental, the happy moments, the cute moments. It was really a good example of what to do with background music, in my opinion.
Rewatch Value: 8.5
I found this drama not hard to watch and very easy to follow. This is one that you would rewatch while watching something that is overly sad. When you want to have a happy ending and watch someone’s personal growth through work, love, and self-esteem.

Rewatch value 30/10 because
I watched it already 3 times within one month.
It's an very funny and cute romantic drama, and made me very happy watching it.
Not like other drama's where there are very annoying people in it.
Here is ShanShan an very funny in an normal way.very natural and realistic. Not like other drama's where they make the character funny by turning them in not realistic / childish way , which makes them annoying in the end.
This is one of the reasens I watched it 3 times.
Because after watching " My Lucky Star" where the main characters are very annoying in the beginning , the story not realistic made me very angry so I watched ShanShan for the third time and after one epidode and I could let my angry go and was happy again.
So I recommend this drama to every one for an happy time.

Lot of Unnecessary Drama
I'm still new to C-dramas, but I've been working through a few recommendations from friends. Boss & Me was recommended via a list for office romances since I like the trope. Unfortunately, the only thing I enjoyed about this drama was the quirky FL. She was cute to watch, but it wasn't much fun watching her act next to the ML. He reminded me of a well-dressed wooden board; though, all props to the wardrobe team because his suit, jacket, and jewelry game was on point in every episode! Still, the lack of chemistry and the addition of all the other couples and sub-plots was just too much. Add to that the excessive monologuing from the FL for nearly every scene, and this drama is like watching a block of ice in winter--BORING. It might have been more bearable if the chemistry between the ML and the FL was entertaining, but there's no spark between them. If you want to kill sometime (32 episodes at 1 hour) then go for it, but I don't recommend it unless you just want to be bored.Edit:
I watched this again recently because I felt like I didn't give it a fair shake the first time around, but it made me realize why I didn't really care for it overall and gave it a six. Both the ML and FL are decent actors and both characters are interesting to watch on screen. Yet, the lack of chemistry between the ML and FL (for me) was because I could not understand what the ML saw in her. She is just a complete airhead for most of it, so I never understood why he was attracted to her in the first place. No matter what type of growth happens for the FL, I'm so stumped I'm never able to buy into the romance from the get go. Then add in the fact the FL is just as confused as to what the ML sees in her and she is so confused (airhead) that as a viewer I am again wondering what he sees in her and vice versa.

Will Shan Shan ever get pregnant?
I think that they could have expanded more on if Shan Shan will ever get pregnant. From what I notice, it seems like she won't because Feng Teng says to her that no need to have kids right after marriage because and I quote "she is too young and should enjoy her self". Even when his sister asked about expanding the family after getting married he says that they won't have kids right after marriage because Shan Shan is too young. But when she asked if Shan Shan has healed he didn't answer. Then she asked again, can Shan Shan get pregnant he hesitated before saying yes, then he told his sister not to link his marriage to expanding the family line. He keeps using her age to answer why they won't have kids yet. Also it seems Shan Shan doesn't know anything about how well she is healing. What is the answer to this part of the drama?Was this review helpful to you?
Boss & Me: from small offerings, trust is born
There are stories that teach without trying to. Boss & Me is one of them.Its charm doesn’t lie in grandeur but in the quiet patience of everyday gestures—how a lunchbox delivered daily can become a ritual revealing more truth than any dramatic confession. The series works like a gentle study of how affection grows through routine, and how receiving sincere attention can slowly transform a life.
Xue Shan Shan is the heartbeat of this tale: simple, occasionally clumsy, but profoundly genuine. Her humanity feels immediate and close; she is not an idealized heroine, but someone who grows through imperfection. That sincerity becomes the magnet that slowly cracks the armor of another world: the realm of the distant, efficient executive shaped by rules and restraint. The boss—modern archetype of success—reveals himself not through power but through his initial inability to name what he feels. His evolution toward tenderness is gradual, plausible, and deeply believable: he learns to express affection through acts of care, without abandoning his own nature.
The relationship between them is the richest exercise of the series. This is not a love born of fireworks, but a mutual education: he learns to feel without losing discernment; she learns to stand confidently without sacrificing her natural warmth. Their bond is built with patience, small mistakes, and small forgivenesses; it feels authentic because it’s never imposed—it is earned, step by step. Watching their journey becomes a gentle lesson for the viewer: love grows where there is time and willingness to truly know one another.
The supporting characters play their roles with balance: some stir tension and jealousy, others offer humor and comfort. Their presence enriches the world without overshadowing the central arc, yet the series uses them to remind us that no relationship exists in isolation—social expectations, inherited insecurities, and sincere friendships all shape the protagonists’ path.
Thematically, Boss & Me reaffirms that affection doesn’t need spectacle; it needs presence. From the script arise small truths that linger after the final episode:
“Daily details build trust.”
“Sustained closeness transforms distance.”
It is not a radical drama—nor does it aim to be. Its strength lies in the humility of its proposition.
If one were to point out a flaw, it would be the pacing: at times the series lingers more than necessary, and the innocence of certain turns may feel overly gentle. But these rough edges do not overshadow the lingering satisfaction—the sense of having accompanied a genuine growth and not a prepackaged fantasy.
When the last scene fades, what remains is gratitude. Gratitude for a story that reminds us love sometimes arrives in lunchboxes, in sustaining silences, in the patience of someone who waits without demanding. Thanks to those who gave life to these characters; may their work be recognized, and may it bring personal well-being to everyone involved.
Boss & Me does not promise epicness; it offers something perhaps more valuable: the certainty that the ordinary, when tended with care, can reshape destinies and teach us that to love is also to learn how to accompany.

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.

✒ ♥️ Blood Ties °7° °VG & simple romance°
“Everyone keeps an eye on our every single move. No one thinks we'll have a happy ending. If I'm in love w/ an assistant, it doesn't matter. But I'm in love w/ the big boss.”Shan “Shan” is a small town girl. She's considered to be of average looks, intelligence, & capability. Even still, the whole tiny town saw her off when she left for Shanghai & her new job. She hadn't been a big city girl for long when she got a call in the middle of the night. The Chairman's granddaughter is in the hospital w/ an emergency. She has a rare blood type - the same blood type as Shan's. Very politely, they asked Shan if she would donate blood?
BaM's 34 45-min eps are exactly like a romance novel committed to screen. Though simple, it's not dumbed down - it has an average IQ & is quite intelligent at times, just like Shan. This blood-favor puts her in the sights of the CEO (it was his sister who was ill) as well as the head of the design dept, “Handsome Qi”. It also causes Shan to doubt herself & why she was hired, and she will continue to doubt herself for the balance of the show. The necessary exchange of “thank-yous” & courtesies follow, but for other reasons, Shan keeps running into the CEO, “Feng” Teng. Shan is a cutie, but it's her simple genuine nature & her warmth that catch Feng's attention.
While this is going on, Shan's cousin shows up in Shanghai. Shi An Ni plays Xue LiuLiu. I find her interesting. She holds her neck and shoulders too tightly and looks as if she has a cervical injury. As soon as the actress started talking, the screen lit up. She mimics her overbearing mother and it's hilarious. There are times she seems too stiff, but at all times she's unique, which is refreshing. I am looking forward to seeing more of her because I don't have a handle on her skills yet. Anyway, LiuLiu doesn't stay long. She soon moves in w/ her bf who basically ignores Shan when they meet. He doesn't seem like a good match for her cousin. I love how LiuLiu never has a hair out of place & Shan is constantly a bit disheveled.
Zhao Li Ying is Xue Shan-Shan. How cute is this gurl? Very. She's an absolute delight & makes the show. Hans Zhang is our ML, Feng Teng. He's certainly not my type. Too prickly. He's good w/ numbers but not people. But he does seem to have a good heart. To him, Shan feels like home. Marry a person who feels like home. You don't have to be the smartest, the richest, the brightest or the most beautiful, you just need to feel like home for your spouse.
Huang You Ming plays Zheng “Handsome Qi”. He's Feng’s partner, BFF, & the social one of the 2. Li Cheng Yuan portrays Yuan LiShu. She's fashioned herself in love w/ Feng for years (they grew up together) & she don't wanna go down easy. They make the point several times that she's hyper-competitive, which does pave a nice long road for her bad behavior.
If it's meant to be, the attraction is always mutual. If it's 1-sided, move on & work on yourself. Lishu (finally) chooses self-improvement. "Because of Feng, I found many dark sides of mine in love… I became jealous, calculating, & untruthful in love. The dark LiShu is too frightening to be recognized by myself." That's good thinking. Self-reflection & honesty, w/ a dash of humility, will NEVER render us more unlikable! Quite the opposite.
This is a classic power balance romance. The man appears to have all the power in the beginning, but it's really Shan that comes out on top in the end. All's fair in love & war, & all's well that ends well, right? If a manipulative male is a trigger for any viewers, they may not enjoy this. Feng has no idea how to woo a woman. His intentions are good, it's his method that is sketchy.
As a “thank-you" for her help w/ their health emergency, Feng’s sister starts sending in lunch 🍱 for Shan. Food is the way to Shan's hungry heart, but the whole company knows about this immediately because the secretaries are delivering the 🍱 directly to Shan's desk. Before long, she scuttles off somewhere quiet to eat alone. She's found the perfect place - a little balcony area that nobody ever comes to, w/ a beautiful bench to boot. She eats. She exults In her happiness exercises. She jumps around & throws her arms up & says: “You are a ray of sunshine loaded w/ happiness.” What she doesn't know is that on the other side of the mirrored window is Mr Feng. He's been watching her, enjoying her, & eating right alongside her w/ only a thin pane of glass between them.
Both of Fengs's secretaries are darling, but Long Yi Yi (Love O2O, My Sunshine) as Linda looks as good in a suit as any woman ever. Li Fang Ding (Inside Man) portrays Zhou Xiao Wei, who is a superb worker and an awful human being. Shan forgives her too easily. I'm not against forgiveness, I'm against evil: Xiao Wei should be fired. She will only ever cause strife, misery, and chaos, so the company is better off without her. Jin Guo Dong (My Sunshine) & Gu Man (You Are My Glory-5.9, Love O2O-6.8) are the screenwriters. Liu Chun Chieh (Lighter & Princess, Two Fathers-7.5) is the Director.
“When he called my name just now it felt so intoxicating. Why does my name sound so amazing from his mouth?” The actress sounds like an excited 4 y/o at Disney. But Shan can't handle the stress of all the attention. Feng's behavior is attracting the entire company, not just Shan. He's used to bossing people around & he has never had to chase a woman (especially an employee) so he starts forcing her to be around him. When Shan tries to stop the 🍱, she ends up being invited to eat w/ Feng directly. She still feels like a blood factory. (Does HE know she's a human?)
She ends up faking illness as an excuse to avoid lunchtime altogether. It backfires. We're not even up to ep10, but the next thing that Shan tries is to say that she can't have lunch with him because she needs to study for the CPA exam. She's promptly ensconced in his office at lunchtime with a bunch of CPA exam guides. ‘This is the perfect quiet place for you to study,’ he explains. The truth is, he's tired of the glass between them. His motivations are actually pure underneath his improper forcefulness. (This is just a TV show. IRL, this behavior is usually intended to take advantage of someone sexually & discard them. That's not what's going on here. A controlling man separates & isolates his woman. Feng is a blessing to all who support Shan).
Everybody's abuzz over her relationship w/ Mr Feng. Nevertheless, the steady 🍱 cause Shan to feel like he's a wolf & she's a pig that he's fattening up for slaughter, eh, as a blood bank, rather. It would never enter her mind, at this point, that he might be interested in her personally, even when all of her attempts to avoid him backfire. Well before Feng & Shan get together, her friends were already swooping in to tell her that trying to make it work w/ a rich guy is a MISTAKE. She'll be dumped b/c rich guys have endless options & temptations. Her parents even tell her: "We don't want you to bring home someone wealthy." This is all contrasted w/ cuz LiuLiu, whose mother is the opposite. She tries to force her daughter to stay w/ a horrible man only b/c he's loaded. Another contrast is Shan's roommate, whose parents don't like roomie's new bf b/c he's not successful enough. Opinions. Everybody's got one. The people giving Shan advice know nothing of her relationship w/ Feng.
All this while, Shan fashions herself enamored w/ Handsome Qi! Handsome, friendly, and pretty much a chick magnet, he's the type of guy that everybody's a little bit in love with. Mr Feng is more complex and difficult to love. “When you give up a tree that doesn't belong to you, you'll find that there's a whole forest there waiting for you to explore,” Handsome Qi says to Shan. They've just had a discussion about how they like each other, but like isn't love. They're friends - another reason e'erbody at the company is talking about & watching Shan.
BaM is about adjusting. He declares his love ⅓ into the show. When Feng&Shan finally get together, it's a secret. She's depressed. She doesn't feel secure in the relationship… & /why/ doesn't he want to celebrate Valentine's Day? Everyone else got 💐. As Valentine's Day approaches, He remarks that his grandfather was traditional and they never celebrated any Western holidays. At the same time, Shan's friends are asserting that Feng must not love her. One of the family's close friends is living at his family's house because she's going through a trauma. Shan's friends put unnecessary pressure on her by insisting that Feng's two-timing her. There's a thin line between cautioning someone & arrogance. This segues nicely into the theme of BaM - the destructive force of gossip.
Let's gossip about gossip. Why do people do it? Why does it feel good? Gossip is a function of pride. Pride always compares & competes. We humans gossip to make ourselves feel superior by comparison. We usually have no idea about the real story, the person's challenges, strengths, weaknesses, abilities, flaws, advantages & disadvantages, background… Gossip is basically a vat of lies that we enjoy taking a bath in once in awhile. Not only is it pathetic, but it's cruel & pernicious. Anyone who gossips IS part of the problem. And Shan is feeling the weight of her many problems.
The gossip at work keeps getting worse. When he was bringing her to the office to eat, they weren't dating, but everybody assumed that they were. Once they start dating, they keep a distance, so everybody assumes that she was tossed to the side. Every incident is misinterpreted in the most vile way. She's a pariah, constantly measured & found to be not good enough. As Feng is hard to read, she's always ill-at-ease. When they finally do go public, Shan has to deal w/ a whole different kind of gossiping. She's become a zoo exhibit. Everybody suddenly wants to talk to her, greet her, & suck up to her. Everyone in Feng's sphere thinks the beautiful, composed, & sophisticated LiShu is a better match. Shan is adorable (she wears that tedious bun in her hair most of the show, and it ain't her best look) but she doesn't care about clothes & makeup (just food), so there's constant comments that she's mid. While Feng is under pressure, Shan is the one who really suffers, while Feng remains mostly oblivious to it. As Feng is also hard to read, she's always ill-at-ease. Shan even stresses over her raise, concerned that it will be lower to prove there's no favoritism. When she gets her raise, people comment on how it should have been more, so she isn't /that/ special. There's no winning this contest.
Another common theme in Chinese entertainment is that it's lonely at the top. China excels at showing how none of us are truly free. They often portray CEOs & kings as miserable people in miserable places. The Great Gatsby factors significantly in the show. It's a story about a man going to extraordinary efforts to attract a woman's attention, but in the end, the woman is a shallow person who doesn't deserve the love & effort he invested in her. Shan's the furthest thing from greedy. She prefers a simple life & that's a huge chunk of her charm.
Some of the fashion is painful to look at. Mr Fang actually has a shirt w/ a leopard plushie collar. It's beyond awful. There's a 🚲 trail scene that is very pretty. The soundtrack isn't bad at all. Roll the Dice, by Shan Gao is good.
BaM is a romance for romance junkies, not the general public. This show is the perfect formula for me when I'm exhausted & my brain doesn't want too much stimulation. China actually excels at such prozac-effect entertainment. Where BaM truly does itself proud is that it does have a worthy message. "Don't try to change yourself only for me." Feng loves her as she is. Shan's feelings of inadequacy made both of them uncomfortable. We should all never stop working on ourselves, but her motivation should be /self-improvement/, not to feel that she's /worthy/ of him. (Whatever. She can't eat that 😆).
This ain't Shakespeare. But it has its moments. Shan decides that the only thing to do is to become the best version of herself so that she can stay on proudly next to Feng. That's the answer. 🔔🔔Ding.

What I didn't like was the characters in the beginning. They were all garbage people who were self centered and lacked communication. Even the heroine at the start was this way.
I will agree with the opinion that the length was wasted. In the end it left me wanting to see them live out this happy ending, but it was cut off. At the same time it did lag at times with side stories that weren't important. The best characters were definitely Shan Shan's family. Most like able people in the whole drama from start to finish. I wish they had been involved more.
I would recommend this to anyone who loves romance stories. It's also funny and awkward at times, but it's all apart of its charm.

Story> not a new story, only a story that demonstrated love(good & bad) at its different stages for folks over the age of 25. The poor-ditzy girl from country meets the prince of the city, both in need of a case of love to shake off the chills of loneliness & immaturity.
Actors> The two leads simply simmered & sizzled on screen acting out this "rella' story. The side story's and actors all repeated a similar storyline of the right love & support can mature a man & woman. Standout: The lead actor was this smoldering sexy, intelligent prince, waiting - urging his girl to grow-up into the woman she is meant to become (and does).
Overall>>
33eps _45~min each is long, but the story does move along and a bit skipping helps the move along. Cdrama sometimes have a low-budget feel however this drama feels and looks first rate putting it equal to any Kdrama RomCom. The only cheesy part for me were the misleading posters, not giving this drama a fair chance.
>Music - cute but not distracting, no music worms will invade.
Give this a shot is you like RomCom_ the story is good, heart moving and lots of twists, love triangles, betrayal and patient, enduring LOVE.

but anyways,
this drama was great for me because it was steady and balanced, it didnt really have complications that last for ages and huge misunderstandings (for example; boys over flowers) the lead girl does not suffer alot but it still had some plot twists and exciting scenes.
what i also loved about this drama is the skinship (dont judge me xD) in korean drama not much skin ship is included and sometimes that makes me feel lack of chemistry between the actors but in this drama they had full on skinships and amazingly cute scenes, I could've died from happiness and fluff!
the actor for feng teng (zhang han) did amazingly in this show because I really though that he fits the role well. and so did the actress for shan shan, because she's so amazingly cute.
as feng teng wasnt the typical cold guy and i-dont-give-a-rats-ass-about-the-girl person, and he was actually pretty nice, you'll learn to fall in love with his cute personality during the show.
I only had a couple of problems, some being the romantic sub-plots of all the other characters, maybe its just me but those werent really interesting for me so i just skipped them, but i would totally re-watch for shan-shan and feng tang again!
its a bit cheesy and fluffy but its a nice change from all the sad drama which are filled with angst.
if you love shows that are not filled with sadness, complications and suffering but instead full of fluffy scenes and shan shan's trip to being a mature person then i recommend this drama to you.
