This Boss Has Been Dismissed

This is one of those dramas that is so dominated by attractive characters and sweet moments that you can almost be okay with all that it lacks. Almost, but not quite. This drama is lacking in a lot of areas, but that being said, I enjoyed parts of it. If you don't look too far below the surface, it's an okay drama. Not amazing, but certainly not the worst one out there. But when you begin to look deeper, you start to realize that the cute fluff was probably just a ploy to cover up the gaping holes. Based on the ratings, I was hoping for more from this drama despite the ridiculous title and I think it could have gone there, but it just didn't. It's like the writers lost their way part way through and decided the best way to finish it was with the typical dose of unnecessary drama. Still, if you don't think too hard, it's entertaining enough.

I have to admit that I'm getting really tired of BLs that almost completely lack a plot. I truly do not understand how it is so hard to write one. This one started out okay with the team developing their game and the drama of their idea being stolen and utilized by a former employee working for another company. But then it just floundered. That plot ended up not really going anywhere and just fizzled out and we were left with nonsensical drama between our two leads to take us to the finish line. Gun and Time's past relationship was never really developed or well explained. And Gun never explains that it wasn't actually him who gave up Time which, I sort of understood, but also didn't. Then there's Thup's story serving as kind of a second plot line and it also fizzled out. It didn't help that there was so little background on him. We know he's Thian's little brother and Cher's honorary brother, but that's about it. He's constantly asking Cher for money, supposedly for school, but it's not clear if that's actually the case. It's hinted that he's actually using it to place bets. And he has so much anger inside, and that's not really expanded on. It's obviously linked to his sister's death and what happened to her, but it's something that could have been explored a lot more to make him a more interesting and relevant character. His subsequent arrest on drug charges is made into a big deal and then we never hear about it again. He's seen once in the final episode and it's assumed he was cleared of charges, but how that all came about is left in the wind. We additionally have the very dark story with Thian which is absolutely heartbreaking, but was not treated with the respect or attention it deserved. If you are going to involve a story of a young woman being raped and impregnated by her stepfather and then committing suicide, you need to commit to that story. It is not something you throw in for added drama and then ghost which is exactly what happened here. Thup throws out that revelation, Cher briefly questions if the step-father can be arrested and then it's never mentioned again aside from at the end when Thup and his mother appear together and it's implied the step-father is no longer in the picture. I was not okay with that at all.

The constant push and pull there at the end between Cher and Gun got old very quickly. A lot of BLs resort to this and it's so overdone and tired. And I'm not blaming Gun here. He was consistent with his love for Cher and damned the consequences. And I can also to an extent understand Cher's wavering at least initially with one of his best friends saying that a CEO and an intern getting together wasn't appropriate. But I also think he blew it way out of proportion. The primary issue was their PDA at work, which I personally found valid. You're there to work, not flirt with your boss and slack off. So why he didn't click to that and just tell Gun that they needed to cool it at work and instead overreacted is beyond me. And not once, but several times. Listen to your man, sir, he's telling you he loves you and you can get through this. Communicate! The whole trope too of I'm going to go off and do my own thing and just leave you but then I'll come back has also been used a lot recently and is equally old. What would be a great twist is if the other person actually didn't wait for them and moved on with their life. Not that I expect that will ever happen, but it would be more interesting than, yes, I've waited for you for five years or whatever. If you've waited that long, please go get therapy, that's not healthy.

Speaking on that note, one of the things I was impressed with was the inclusion of Jack's mental health, specifically his depressive disorder. A lot of dramas skirt mental health issues, so I appreciated that it was actually discussed. What I was NOT impressed with was Cher flippantly discussing it with other members of the team without Jack's permission. That is a huge no no. You do not speak about somebody else's mental health issues with other people. It is a huge breach of privacy and trust. Another issue I took was the celebration that Jack could go off his meds. I have depression, I will be on medication for the rest of my life probably, so to have it portrayed like a depressive order is something that can be cured didn't sit real well with me. The one thing I will say though, is that it seemed like his depressive order was caused by a specific event, namely something that happened between him and a former lover, so that could translate to a different kind of treatment. I'm not a medical professional though so I don't know. Generally speaking, however, like I said, depression isn't something that's cured. Your dose of meds may be adjusted, but your doctor doesn't typically take you off of them.

In terms of characters, I was disappointed by the lack of character development and background. This was not one of those dramas that had a huge cast where it was impossible to have any detail because they were juggling so many characters. This just seemed like more of a case of laziness or disinterest more than anything else. Gun, I think, had the most character development but I didn't feel it was consistent. He came across as cold and aloof at the beginning but that attitude pretty quickly changed after he met Cher. Too quickly, in my opinion. I wanted to see a gradual softening of his attitude towards Cher and then that also translating to those around him. But while his attitude towards Cher obviously changed, there wasn't as much of a change in how he treated others. The exception would be those close to Cher. With them, he was pretty open and friendly, but anyone else outside that circle pretty much seemed to still get the cold shoulder. Cher was pretty stagnant frankly. He had some minor changes, he became slightly more serious, but overall, his character remained relatively unchanged which was disappointing. It was clear that his character started wearing off on Gun, but not vice versa. As for their relationship, the pacing was terrible. It was like they rushed into it to begin with, I mean there first kiss is in Episode 2, I think, before remaining static for a while, then there would be some progression followed by another static period and so on and so forth. It didn't have a good, consistent flow and I think it would have been better if they had developed it more at the beginning before just jumping in.

And while I loved the friendship between Cher, Jack, Zo, Three, and Tubtab, they were also very neglected in terms of character development and background. In fact, I don't think any background was given on them regarding how any of them met and formed their gaming team, how long Zo and Three had been together, nothing but the barest of hints regarding Jack's background and former love interest, nothing about Tubtab's café, etc. Having that kind of information enriches the characters, makes them seem more real and less one dimensional. Zo and Three in particular were treated as a unit rather than given identities as individuals. Basically every scene revolved around them as a pair which isn't fair to the characters. Time was another character that had a huge disservice done to him. There was so much there that could have been delved into with his past friendship with Gun, his transfer to another company, and the leaking that he had been accessing his former employers emails to gain knowledge of their game. Instead, he's given almost no screen time, he makes an idle threat that at first I thought was going to add some juice to the drama but led nowhere, and ends up getting fired and having one last fight with Gun in which Gun does nothing. I still don't understand why he didn't tell him that he wasn't the one to send the evidence. And last but not least, we have Porsche who is Gun's ex, but again, no other information is really given about him. He's basically there as a sounding board for Gun/interpreter of Cher's actions to some degree and nothing more which again was disappointing because I think he couldn't have been a really interesting character. Gun's mother was another pretty weak character. I don't think it helped that everything with her was thrown in at the end, but she came across as very no nonsense women and pretty determined that Cher was not suitable for her son. But he graduates and wins a gaming competition and suddenly she's okay with them? I'm guessing there just wasn't enough time left to really develop her character, but it felt sloppy.

This was another drama where the acting was hit or miss. Force and Book have been friends for a really long time, some sixteen years if memory serves, and unfortunately, that's what comes through. Their romantic chemistry is nil, in fact as soon as a scene turned romantic, moving from just hugs to kissing, it was a like switch flipped and all the heat left the room. I felt absolutely nothing. Their buddy chemistry on the other hand was great. I know a number of the popular BL couples these days are made up of actors who have been friends for years and some of them work really well together and can bring that romantic chemistry to the table, I'm looking at First and Khaotung. Force and Book are just two who can't. I think they'd be great together in a drama where they're just friends and one or both of them have different love interests. They're acting is nothing spectacular. I wasn't overly impressed with them in Enchante and that just continued here. Book is just kind of boring to watch. They both lack depth, but it's especially noticeable with Book. He's adorable, don't get me wrong, and plucky, but that's about it. It starts to get repetitive after a while. He can make sad faces all day, but I just don't generally feel it. He had a few instances where he did connect, so I think he has potential. Force is slightly better. His emotions at least reached his eyes sometimes and there were moments where I could feel his pain. But he's not consistent and that's a problem. And while I understand the character he played was cold, he often came off as robotic. The other actors did serviceable jobs. I don't think any of them were spectacular, but I blame most of that on the fact that their characters were so incredibly shallow.

I know this is nitpicking, but the synopsis talks about Cher's gaming and ASMR channel. Gun is interested in him from the get go because of his voice from his ASMR channel which I didn't get because while Book's voice is fine, it's not like there's anything unique about it. I mean absolutely offense, but I didn't discern any kind of special quality to it that could make me understand where Gun was coming from. Cher's ASMR channel is never featured except in one maybe fifteen second clip and is barely mentioned after Gun's initial recognition of him as the owner of that channel and his gaming also doesn't play into the story much either except as a source of conflict with his friends and as a way to show off Gun.

There were a few things that I did like. The whole husband/wife trope was nowhere to be seen here. They refer to each other as boyfriends once they reach that point and nothing else. The fact that Gun was gay and a CEO was never an issue. Aside from comments that his mother had tried to "fix" him, no one batted an eye about the two of them being together other aside from feeling it was inappropriate for the CEO of the company to be together with an intern. And while it wasn't explicitly mentioned, it is implied that Cher is bisexual. I appreciated that the fact he had liked a girl previously and was now with a guy was never questioned or even commented on.

Production was okay. There were a couple of scenes that had some really choppy editing done which was distracting. The music wasn't anything spectacular, but I always take it as a bonus if it's not overly loud and distracting.

If you can turn your brain off and just enjoy the cute moments and fluff, you'll probably enjoy this drama. If you're someone though who wants a fully developed plot and characters, I would steer clear as you won't find that here. It's one of those dramas that had the potential to be something if it had an actual plot and better writing, but lacking both, it's mediocre at best.

Hang In There....It's a fun series.

At first, I was ready to drop this series after the first episode. I felt as though I was watching a handsome young CEO falling in love with a toddler. I found Cher's personality annoying at first. But...everyone here at MDL urged me to give it chance before I threw in the towel to move on. By the 3rd episode, I found the series charming, warm, and endearing.

After the 11th episode, I notice a lot of grumbling in the comments about how the story line was disappointing because of all of the on and off again break ups caused by Cher. The final straw was the Boss's meddling mother which caused Cher to leave the Boss once again. Unfortunately, these situations do occur, where parents meddle in the lives of their children to the point of causing disruption and heartaches. Yes...I know that we've all seen this before in BL's....and yes....I know that Cher has distanced himself one time too many from the Boss. But these types of breakups do occur...on and off again...especially when an interfering parent perceives there to be a class distinction between their child and the boyfriend/girlfriend. The reality of this is disturbing...but it's there...it's real. In this series fortunately, there is a happy ending...but all to often in real life that happy ending never happens because of outside pressures.

I give this series a thumbs up. Watch it. You will enjoy it.

An Office Romance like many others, but still worth the watch!

Though A Boss and a Babe doesn’t really do anything innovative in terms of office romances, the stand out factor really was ForceBook’s chemistry, as well as Book’s commitment to really bringing Cher to life. I went into this not expecting much at all, but this quickly became a comfort show for me and I can see why ForceBook were given another chance after Enchante. I would recommend this to anyone who is missing GAP the series or wants a low-stakes feel good series. I’m excited to see what comes next

This is a drama for those who came here for lighthearted entertainment.
After a long time I have watched a drama that did not leave me exasperated either at the plot or acting. The drama runs quite smoothly. The lines and acting between Cher and Gun runs quite effortlessly and I love seeing the chemistry between these two. Both the actors have pulled off their roles as the mouthy, talkative but thoughtful Cher, and the serious, sensitive Gun, quite convincingly. Plot itself runs smoothly, no cringe scenes, no cringe acting, any misunderstandings do not last long, and the relationship works on mutual trust, communication and respect. Altogether a light hearted entertaining romance.

This show isn’t the wreck you all are making it out to be

A Boss and A Babe is a solid 8. A sweet story with a sprinkle of drama and characters who actually resolve their issues without dragging things out *shocking*

Cher might be a little unconventional by society's standards, but he’s extremely lovable. He’s goofy but not dumb, and he is always genuine with others and himself. Oftentimes, this type of character comes off as annoying, but Cher never seems to cross that line. It definitely helps that he’s hilarious.

Gun is pretty much the standard of an ideal man. He’s attentive and chooses to care for the people Cher loves. He’s also vulnerable, and I would even say innocent, in respect to his interactions with others'. He wants to believe in those around him, even when he has been repeatedly shown that not everyone puts as much weight on friendship as he does. I love the little touches of comedy that come when he’s feeling shy or self conscious.

Cher perfectly fills in the gaps in Gun’s life. He shows him joy, kindness, and affection with no expectations attached. He even offers up his friend group before even knowing that making and keeping friendships was one of Gun’s traumas! Cher is what Gun needed.

The lineup of friends on both sides is a winner. On Cher’s side, we have a whole gang of loving friends who might fight and argue but who are willing to apologize when they’ve screwed up. There is a bit of a spotlight on Jack, who has his own struggles but still finds it in him to worry about his friends. I was particularly thankful that his friendship with Cher was not marred by romantic affection, like it is often done in other shows.

On Gun’s side, we have Porsche, who always pops up just when he’s needed and always has the best advice. He might be Gun’s ex, but he’s more like the fairy godmother. (We’re not going to talk about the entitled ex-friend Time, except to say that I love seeing Drake on screen and wish we could have gotten an actual resolution.)

The show did have a tendency to drop the ball when it came to resolving storylines and closing loose ends, almost as if they didn’t have enough time to film or include them and decided to cut them. In this case, it wasn’t a deal-breaker simply because GunCher were kept front and center and their resolution as a couple was satisfactory. As a whole, I believe the story would have been more poignant if these loose ends were addressed better. This is the real difference between an iconic show and just a good one, and ABAAB fell short. Still I praise it for what it did do, which was create an enjoyable romantic comedy.

In summary, a lovely ensemble with lovable characters and minimal drama. An easy and enjoyable watch.

Really Good in the Beginning, eh by the End

Force and Book are back on our screen after the disastrous Enchante that graced our screen in 2022. I'd like to start off with the fact that I saw growth, and that's the most important thing. But I would also like to state that for whatever reason, Force and Book still don't do it for me. It's like they would give me an inch, and then 10 minutes later, we fell five steps back. I'll explain that one more later, but for now, A Boss and A Babe was the somewhat redeeming series that this up-and-coming GMMTV couple needed.

Let's Dive In.

So A Boss and A Babe is a story about a CEO and an intern falling in love with a few more, low-key not important details. This series really is just a cutesy, no-real-problems-are-happening series. We get a little bit of back-stabbing, poor communication, and the very little stakes of them being together, but nothing in the story gives, "Oh wow, this is getting good." Which is why I said I loved it in the beginning since the set up of the characters was nice, but it all comes tumbling down after maybe the 5-6th episode and things get boring.

But I do want to talk about some of the conflicts we see in the series, with one of the main ones being the situation with Drake's character and Boss. The stakes are there, but overall, it's a simple resolution and nothing serious happens besides a silly little punch. Then moving onto Tian's storyline and the troubles Cher had with his brother Troop, which is not given enough space to flourish. they delve into it a little, but it's so little that it doesn't feel fleshed out enough. They scraped the surface and that was it. I wish we had a whole episode dedicated to this storyline and dedicated to the story that they gave Tian. The same goes for Boss' mother popping up at the end to complain that Cher was a terrible choice for him. Felt like very cheap writing to throw in a last-minute problem that's given no real resolution, just Cher shows up to Boss' office and asks him to be his boyfriend and then it's all better. Okay.

Again with Book and Force's connection. Them being friends shows through their acting, and it's a good and a bad thing. In some scenes, it's perfect. They look comfortable, their dialogue feels organic, and their chemistry feels great. and then in other scenes, I feel that tenseness again, with the slither of awkwardness, and it gets even worse for some of the intimate scenes they have. Again, I judge harder on GMMTV series because I know they have the funds and means to do better, so I expect better, and that's why I'm going to go on a limb here and say that the kisses and intimate moment in this series gets a big ole thumbs down. Some weren't as bad as others, but boy oh boy, let them have a scene where they have to kiss just once, and I'm cringing. The dead fish kiss, the standing ten feet apart, Cher's eyes open doing their last kiss, all of it, just..bad.

Like I stated earlier, I see the growth in their acting which is why this series kind of worked for me. I see that they've tried their best with these new roles they've received, and yes, a lot of it could've used more work, but overall, it's good. The only thing unbelievable is Boss having the label as being mean and super demanding with his employees, when throughout the series he just felt like he didn't care about his job are the things his employees did other than getting him his coffee. But with Book, I think he did a fantastic job. Loved loved loved his character and the choice he made for him. came off as believable, and we see that immaturity mixed with his extroverted energy and his slight shyness around Boss. He did a really excellent job.

Onto the side characters, Mike is back and he was looking better than ever. He's always given the funny best friend roles, and just like in the other series, he did a great job. I would like to see Mike playing a character outside of the norms he's given because I really believe he has more to show. The side couple was very lackluster. Some random fainting, and a bunch of sweet nothings, but those two characters felt like a really odd pairing, and that never changed for me even by the end. Their skinship felt a bit forced, but at least Thi would be labeled the best boyfriend ever. The other characters, Tubtab, Porsche, and the office workers drove the story in a good direction but didn't really add anything (other than the fact that Thor's eye had me in a chokehold). What I really loved though was when their friend group was all together. It added in some great comedy moments and that was probably one of my favorite parts of the series.

Ratings:

Story: 7.5/10 - None of the stakes felt very stake-y, and this really was just some cutesy moments given to both Book and Force to execute which they kind of did. I'll give most of the stars to the Tian storyline that I was most interested in but wasn't given enough of. I also loved the friend group which felt very natural and organic on screen.

Acting: 8.5/10 - I saw so much growth in Book, and he did an excellent job. Force did well too, but I still see the parts in which he can work on those improvements. Maybe it wasn't him and more of the director's choice for his character, but I feel like he could've given us more. All side characters were good too, but the side couple felt way too forced.

Music: 6/10 - It wasn't distracting so good.

Recommendation Value: 6.5/10 - I would recommend this series over the other series they had, but I still wouldn't recommend this if someone wanted to watch a GMMTV series (that spot is still given to ATOTS, which is still GMMTV's best BL series). But Book and Force are two very beautiful humans to look at, so this series is at least not on the bottom of shows to recommend, I'll just say that.

This is for those who love cute and fluffy yet serious Bl

I haven't written a review in a long time for a Bl series but this one got me hooked. A Boss and his babe is deserving of all praises and accolades that it has received and more


Plot: This Bl series follows the life of an intern student Cher and his office Boss Gun. It's the story of their growing budding romance as they deal with issue from the past and present bordering friendship, love,death, mental and health disorders and so forth. This is simply the cute story of a Boss whose heart was broken and an intern who hasn't recovered from the death of his friend.
Why this might sound easy to understand the plot is rather more complicated as it draws its story not just from Cher and Gun but also from associates, family members and friends.

ROMANCE: In the series Cher is not sure of his feelings for Gun,Gun is confident of winning him however. The two main character exhibit a type of chemistry one sees in cute and mature series. There's serious talks on being gay, understanding your friends when they're down or moody, fighting for one's right,there's even the funny scene in which Cher protests over the delay in signing the equality marriage act which will enable LGBTQ to be officially recognized in Thailand, there's no time for dallying over ex boyfriends or girlfriends; no silly Bl breakup or quarrel over useless misunderstandings , every single statement they make leads to the further advancement of their relationship. Gun and Cher has also developed the new method of conveying emotions and feelings by laying down on each other's laps and shoulders, winking and of course facial expressions. There's no toxicity and no forced scene everything is moving gently but quickly to a progressive end

There's no doubt that of all currently airing Thai Bl series if not all Bl series currently airing that a Boss and his babe is the most plot wise and solid offering us succor in a time when most Thai Bl series now emphasize the bed and not the relationship.
If the series maintain its current trajectory it's going to be one of the best GMMTV has ever released

A boss and a babe review

My name is jimmy i am 29 and i am from the uk. I have been watching bl for 7 years now and this one is brilliant i love it. It is not perfect and it is not bad it really is a amazing story however there are just 2 issues i have with it. Its nothing to do with the actors or the story itself its to do with the bl episode time itss all weird time the episode is not on long enough, you play on youtube part 1 13 min part 2 9 min part 3 9 min part 4 14 min. The second issue with it is that on those parts 4 min is advert of the next episode or a really long song that takes from the episode itself. You should keep a consistant time of 15 min per part because we need more time in watching, its way to short we really need more of it to watch. I am not saying the bl is bad because it really is amazing to watch the story and the cast of it play there role so well it is believable, and the story paints a big picture for other young lgbtq, it gives them hope and a sense of your not alone it teaches us morals and values. Please keep up the work very insperational just please fix the timing issue and it will be almost perfect. Thankyou jimmy

Very cool and calming to watch, it just goes on...... pleasant!

Light hearted, comedy, mostly fluffy. One can watch this when you are feeling stressed and don't want drama in the series, this is helpful like you don't need to concentrate it just goes very smoothly and the cute scenes between Force and Book are soooo good super fluff they are.
PS: Force is sooooo freaking hawttttttttt
Book character is sooo funny the way he is very light hearted and the way he deals all his moments in his life calm and cool, it made me realize that there is nothing to be stressed about and the whole life will come together in the end even tho we dont get stressed. Force character is calm and proper CEO vibes he is giving, he is introverted but very bubbly when it comes to Book, I love how they are best frnds in real life too.
Do give it a watch!!!!! for cool series!!

A series that I wasn't that eager to watch but actually liked in the end

Let me start off by saying the only reason why I watched this series is due to the fact that I eanted to watch 'Our Skyy 2' and this couple was going to be one of the eight couples being used. So, because of that, I started this series. And...I actually liked it!

Story-8/10
I think that if this was told as a simple cute, fluff story without the attempt of angst and trying, but failing to have an antagonist, it would have been one hell of a series. I mean, they tried to add something that wasn't really dealt with nor, to me, was even needed.

I mean, what happened with Thop and his case? It was kind of just brushed over. And also, Thop just forgiving his mom so easily eventhough she knew what the step-father was doing to his sister and did NOTHING about it?! And then you have Gun's mom basically telling Cher that he was not good enough for her son. I mean, it's cool if he wanted to better himself for himself- not for somebody else.

And due to these issues, I give this story an 8.

Acting/Cast-9/10
I adore all the actors in this series. The banter between friends, Force acting kind of stiff, yet cool as Gun. And Book as Cher, although there were sometimes the character did annoy me. I enjoyed Force and Book here more than thier previous series 'Enchante ' ( which was why I really was not that eager to watch this).

Music-8/10
The music was cute and adorable. I'm really going to miss it.

Rewatch Valu-8/10
I surprisingly actually do see myself watching this series soon. Despite it's few flaws, it really was a good series to watch that entertained me.

Overall-8.5/10
Overall, I give this series an 8.5. It's a cute, light and fluffy, with some moments that I did not enjoy as the outcome was not really dealth with. I am now eagerly awaiting for next week for this coulpe in 'Our Skyy 2'.

Actually not that bad.

I was pretty excited to watch this ever since the trailer and had some pretty good expectations. To be honest the story line is very odd. It doesn’t make 100% sense. We never got to see what Thoop was doing that required him to constantly need money from Cher. The boss and Cher falling in love just seems so spontaneous. The established couple Zo and Three are super cute! I liked they had a bit of their own screen time but it was a bit just placed there with imo no real need. The story line is pretty grim too for such a light romance bl.

I like ForceBook as an acting pair. Many people watch this because of Force, but I liked them both. The chemistry and acting was really good. I don’t think Book overacted for Cher. I know some people who are actually literally like Cher. Cher just seems to be that type of character. I like how they show insane character development also. At first the boss wasn’t too social and liked a routine thing. But after Cher the boss was trying new things and going out and having fun. A lot of people didn’t like ep 11 because Cher sort of broke up but I really understood. Cher wanted a break to get his life together because he was close to graduation. But the boss was clingy and because of that Cher knew the boss wouldn’t let him go so easily. I’m not sure about Gun’s mom though. She didn’t seem like the whole homophobic mom I thought she was going to be. Gun said his mom tried to ungay him so it raised my homophobia sensor. But she was not like that at all. She was like understanding? Complete opposite. I like how Jack was watching out for Cher because let’s be honest here. A company owner and an intern? That’s pretty scandalous tbh. It’s depicted as bad in the drama but it’s actually not. I’d be concerned too if any of my friends didn’t that.

One thing I didn’t like was the time line. Basically the first 11 eps and half of ep 12 is during Cher’s internship which is 3months? It doesn’t seem like 3 months go by at all. Then in the last half of ep 12 the boss states it’s been a year since Cher’s graduation. I was so confused by that. It just jumped through space and time? I would’ve thought Gun would’ve popped the question in that time sphere. Anyways the mention of time passing does come up quite frequent by how close Cher’s graduation is. Also they didn’t show Tian’s anniversary. Which I would’ve liked to see personally. Or the arrest of the step dad.

I really like this and it was easy to watch. I kept smiling during the last ep. It was so cute. However the story line makes it pretty grim. It’s good but need a way better story line.
