A Boss and a Babe (2023)

Director New suck at comedies

A Boss and a Babe is rom - com that fail in both comedy and romance aspect.

Director New suck at comedies - he can't do them - he and the editing just don't seem to understand that jokes and comedy depend on the delivery.
Most jokes don't translate well to other languages leaving us viewers most of the time with no-verbal comedy - that would land better if they didn't think Book making stupid expressions was it.... He is also the only one - he might not be the best comedic actor but I don't think under these circumcises even top comedy actor would pull it off.

Romance part also doesn't work because our main characters were already in love in the first episode (total Deux Ex-Machina) and act like middle school students when they were supposed to be working adults. Force play company boss - his hotness was pretty much the only thing that keep me watching, but he don't take off his shirt enough to keep me distracted for twelve episodes. But that cold company Boss- who could be sued for workplace sexual harassment don't even think about his work and company when he was supposed to be the intelligent cold boss... Why would he from get-go decide to get together with an intern that doesn't even have basic common sense (As office culture goes - he would be fired on the first day) and few episodes in still don't seem to do anything except bringing coffee.
This whole romance felt like something written by a person who never was in a relationship while Force and Book feel more like long-time friends than lovers.

There is also almost no plot progression - the romance part was pretty much stuck since episode 2 or 3 while most of the subplot was never explored or ended. This story was material for movie because twelve episodes series made it almost unbearable to watch with how flat it fell. All side characters were also wested - because the plot surrounding them was never explored or answered - there was just no need for most of them to ever be in this drama.

To sum it up I don't recommend it, twelve episodes don't make any sense when there are many better series around to watch.

An okay show that I got attached to (ESPECIALLY ThreeZo my bbs)

The show itself was okay, like the plot had a few plot holes and left a few arcs hanging BUT I really enjoyed myself somehow. I thought the characters and the cast really carried the show, that you just wanted to watch to see what happens next.

It was overall a really fluffy show, but it had surprising dark themes that I wish they touched on a bit more. I also wanted a bit more exposition; I felt like we were dropped in the middle of a story in the beginning without much backstory.

But as I've said, the characters were really fun and each had their own colour. I used to not really pay attention to ForceBook, but I kind get them now, they're really fun to watch. I'm a new fan. Also shout out to the fluffy side couple ThreeZo, who made me cry every time they appeared on screen for some reason, so dang smol and cute. Wish FlukeOhm get their own show hehe.

OVER HYPE AND CRINGE !

Oh my god... This is bad. I mean first episode and I already annoyed with Cher's character. He is so fucking annoying. Like miss gurl, can you just chill for a moment? AND Im sorry but I don't like Book at all. Maybe its because of his character or something I dont know. To be honest, I failed to feel nor see Gun x Cher's genuine feeling towards each other. Yes, there is some heart throbbing scenes but we need some honesty in a relationship and Cher rarely cry makes me groan in PAIN EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! Like oh god... And what's with the fake happy scenes? Like Cher acting like he is strong and happy go luck in every situation, the mental breakdown scene is just no it for me. I am sorry but I couldn't feel that he is truly sad at what has happened to Tian as well.

There is no A, no B then suddenly it goes to C. Takes an instance when Thup confessed that its his dad that raped Tian then Cher was like all shocked but then that's it. No development as in like dragging her father to jail or something. Nah. Bro basically said "Yeah aight. too bad.". Like ??????????? Gun's character is alright but not the best. He just let Thyme broke up their friendship like it was nothing?? Why dont you try to reconcile and offer to work together instead? What a bad plot and writing. I dont think I have ever been this disappointed before except when I watch 2 MOONS season 2. That's another bullshit I need to face.

Can we also say how misleading the trailer and the poster are? I really thought they will meet in elevator where they will have their funny encounter in elevator more often until they fall in love with each other but NOOOOOOO. Instead, the director and screenwriter gave us this shit? Total disappointment. Lack of emotion, lack of feelings and lack of proper plot development. And they shows that Thyme log into the company's laptop to send the information about the games so he can copy the game but the real question is.. HOW? Like how did he got into the office and get to copy all of the materials? SO MANY QUESTIONS BRO.

I have heard about ForceBook before and everybody making them a big deal but to be honest, in this series, I couldn't see it. The chemistry is so-so and the kiss scenes is alright. Seems a little bit force especially in the car kissing scene. Honestly, I need to give it a time before I try to watch their series again. And the only thing that I like about this series is Jack and side pairing Three and Zo. They are adorable but a shame how they doesnt know how to give them more screentime. The series conflict does not exists too and I feel this series overall is a blergh.

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.

uno fra mille

non c'è assolutamente nulla che distingua questo show da mille altri. La storia è trita e ritrita già vista sia in campo BL sia in campo etero. l'ambientazione d'ufficio è abbastanza banale e poco plausibile. c'è questa società ramo secondario di un gruppo creato da un uomo sulla Trentina che sembra essere figlio di una famiglia proprietaria di alberghi, che sarebbe sviluppando un gioco, ma alla fine si vedono soltanto pochi impiegati riuniti intorno a una scrivania che non si sa bene che cosa facciano.
il problema principale non risiede nella recitazione dei due protagonisti, che se la cavano tutto sommato abbastanza bene finché si rimane nell'ambito della commedia, quanto nella caratterizzazione dei personaggi e nella logicità delle vicende che vengono presentate.
il capitano d'azienda dovrebbe essere uno scontroso inavvicinabile pessimo soggetto, ma in realtà si scioglie come neve al sole davanti al tirocinante appena arrivato e i suoi lati così negativi non li vediamo mai.
la faccenda del furto del gioco con l'amico o ex amico del Capo è stata gestita in maniera ignobile e in realtà rimane abbastanza sospesa, senza risoluzione. così come rimane senza risoluzione la questione della denuncia per possesso di droga del ragazzino, che è fuori su cauzione ma non si sa bene che fine farà. Non tocchiamo neppure le problematiche della povera ragazza morta e dei suoi problemi familiari che vengono dichiarati ma a cui non si trova una soluzione.
La canonica separazione degli ultimi episodi è gestita in maniera pedestre, incomprensibile.
in definitiva la parte migliore di questo show è quella della commedia, che viene gestita praticamente dal solo Book, che se la cava alla grande. lo stesso Force non dimostra di essere alla sua altezza. tutti gli altri, compreso Drake, sono poco più di macchiette.
un drama più che potabile, ma decisamente dimenticabile, buono tutt'al più per passare qualche ora di divertimento alla buona, col cervello decisamente in posizione off.

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.
