A Boss and a Babe (2023)

Sem vilões mas atuações

A boss and a babe mostrou ser uma trama bem simples de se entender, sem grandes vilões e um casal principal fofo que se tornaram o casal conforto de muitos que acompanharam semana a semana o desenrolar simples do casal.
As atuações foram bem convincente porque a história não pedia por grandes atuações dramáticas, alguns episódios foram bem cansativos mas no geral foi gostosinho de acompanhar.
Force e Book entregaram um bl merecedor de todo o sucesso que eles obtiveram, colocaram todas as suas forças num bl que mostrou o relacionamento saudável de seus personagens.

very cute, but little else

I watched this title with my friend who loves ForceBook (after Only Friends). It's very sweet! The characters are quirky/fun and the plot is cartoonish. While it could be slow, it wasn't ever so bad that I was bored or wanted to drop it. We wanted to watch Force be hot and silly on our TV screens, and that was certainly accomplished. As a pick-me-up or feel-good show, it definitely has it's place.

That said, the story wasn't particularly original or well done. Particularly, a lot of the plot with Tian and Thoop was either haphazard, rushed, or a rather inappropriate tone to the rest of the story. It takes a sweet, unoriginal romcom and makes it just clunky and long enough to sink the rewatch value. I had fun!... but I won't be picking this up again.

Loved every second of this show!

A Boss and a Babe presents the story of Gun, a CEO, and Cher, his intern, as they navigate a scandalous office romance. The show introduces us to a young and optimistic intern who joins a company and encounters an overbearing, rude, and despised boss. As Cher gradually chips away at Gun's tough exterior, their relationship becomes intertwined with scandal, and faces intense criticism for being inappropriate within the office setting.

A Boss and a Babe offers a delightful blend of witty humor and energetic performances from the actors. It certainly doesn't hurt that Force is an attractive individual—I wouldn't mind having him as my boss (lol!). Although I came across some negative reviews regarding the storytelling and writing, I decided to give the show a chance. Some viewers expressed concerns about the boss making sexual advances toward an intern and the power dynamics at play in their relationship. However, after watching the series, I personally didn't find it to be a significant issue and felt that it actually contributed to the overall story.

My focus was primarily on the blossoming relationship between Cher and Gun, which evolved beyond the boundaries of a typical intern-CEO dynamic. They faced numerous challenges, encountered harsh criticism, and were made to feel as though they shouldn't be together. The show provides a refreshing twist on the enemies-to-lovers trope, complemented by witty humor and Cher's tendency to call out the clichés within the BL genre, which had me laughing and smiling throughout. I particularly enjoyed witnessing the progression of Cher and Gun's relationship in each episode, especially towards the end when Cher took charge of his own life to be with the person he loves.

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.

Actually I did stop watching this series after few episodes but decided to give it a try. And I'm glad that I gave this series a second chance. BL series has very set pattern, lead actors meet they fight and they fall in love then they go through some misunderstanding and resolve it to get back together. This series has some different vibe. I love the story it's light and the actors have done a tremendously good job. The pair is so cute and lovely. The cinematography is good. I can just keep on adding positive points but for the experience you have to watch it. Just go and watch this series.

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.

UMA DAS COISAS MELHORES COISAS QUE EU JÁ ASSISTI NA VIDA (MESMO COM SEUS DEFEITOS)

Eu fico tão feliz toda vez que eu lembro dessa séria, ela tem momentos tão gostosos que acaba sendo a série de conforto perfeita.
Desde que eu bati os olhos nessa capa eu já fiquei interessada pois os atores são bonitos e quando eu li a sinopse eu me apaixonei de vez pois eu amo uma história entre chefe e estagiário. Ela é leve e engraçada, do começo até a metade tudo acontece de forma fluida e sem muito drama o que particularmente eu acho perfeito, é da metade pro final que alguns problemas acontecem (mas não anulam toda a experiência maravilhosa que temos).
Na metade da história temos amigos preocupados com o Cher por ele ser apenas um estagiário e não estar a altura de alguém acima dele na hierarquia (o que eu acho patético visto que todos conheciam a relação entre os dois e achavam bonita), temos confusões causadas pela insegurança do Cher (mesmo o Gun sendo absolutamente perfeito e sincero com ele) e uma decisão final tomada pelo Cher que foi desastrosa mas deu tudo certo no final.
Gun é o melhor personagem e mesmo sendo uma comédia romântica muitas camadas foram adicionadas a ele, principalmente um traço de insegurança com relação a abandono e mesmo assim o Cher acaba dando umas vaciladas com ele (nunca irei perdoar) e tem uma cena em que o Cher está bêbado e diz umas coisas muito injustas ao Gun e que nem mesmo fazem sentido.
Enfim, não é uma série perfeita mas ela tem um charme muito único, cenas muito gostosas e engraçadas e uma ótima química entre os atores que segura muito bem a barra na hora dos erros (mesmo que nas cenas mais íntimas o Cher pareça sempre estar se esquivando do Gun, isso é algo que poderia ser melhorado).

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

Que

Por lo general me duele gustar este tipo de BL, este no es la excepción. Me hubiera gustado que abarcarán más con el tema del padrastro de Thoop y Tian, saber el transfondo me dejó en shock como siempre este tipo de transfondos de personaje me suele dejar.

La pareja secundaria del ThreeZo me pareció muy tierna, las separaciones de Gun y Cher me dolían en el ALMAAA, ame la mayoría de escena de Gun y Cher, la parte del perro persiguiendoles me provocó gracia,,,,

Cuando Cher se echó la culpa me puse a chillar, me sentí bien mal por los dos y que luego GUN BORRACHOOOOOO, yo les llore muy feo, otra cosa, ame la escena de Cher gsto, fue la megor. ?

Al final no entendí que paso con Thyme, siento que no abarcaron tantos temas, de ahí, creo que la volvería a ver, me divertí mucho viendo este BL, es uno de mis favoritos. ⊂ (≧▽≦) ⊃
