É um drama levinho para assistir sem ter que pensar muito, mas faz passar umas raivas
Nós começamos esse drama sentindo ódio mortal pelo protagonista masculino e depois cai do cavalo, de quatro, porque esse homem apaixonado é a coisa mais linda que existe. Qiang Heng é um advogado famoso e talentoso, porém rude e antipático. Ele é daquele tipo que é bom em tudo que se propõe a fazer e o pior: Ele sabe disso. No início, a nossa mocinha Chen Yao sofre bastante nas mãos dele, tanto na vida profissional, já que vai trabalhar como estagiária na empresa de advocacia dele, quanto na vida pessoal, quando se vê, por obra do destino, sendo "obrigada" a dividir um apartamento com ele. Imaginem a confusão. O lado bom é que Chen Yao não se deixa abater, é forte e batalhadora. Quer aprender muito e vencer na sua profissão e vê em Qiang Heng a oportunidade de aprender muito. A medida que vão convivendo, Qiang Heng descobre que Chen Yao é a cura não só para sua insônia crônica, como também para o seu coração.A única coisa que me incomodou - e nem foram os 36 episódios, os quais eu vi muita gente reclamando - foi não vermos os desfechos de alguns casos em que eles trabalhavam. Não sei, assistindo, eu me sentia meio que envolvida e curiosa para saber os desfechos e realmente, alguns ficaram esquecidos no churrasco. Outra coisa que me incomodou um pouco na reta final, foi o comportamento da Chen Yao ao se sentir inferior profissionalmente ao Qiang Heng. Seria até normal, se ela não fosse recém-formada e ele um advogado, sócio de uma empresa, com uma carreira sólida de alguns anos. Achei bastante exagerado da parte dela. Bem, críticas a parte, devo falar sobre a equipe do escritório, companheiros de Chen Yao que levavam para o drama muito do chamado alívio cômico. Eu amei muito a equipe formada por Tang Yin, que tinha um relacionamento supostamente secreto com com Yu Fei e o doidinho do Bao Rui que jurava ter a preferência do excepcional chefe. O casal secundário formado pelo sócio de Qiang Heng, Wu Jung, e pela irmã da Cheng Yao, Cheng Xi, também foi a coisa mais fofa de acompanhar. Bom, a meu ver, o saldo, foi bastante positivo e eu super recomendo se tiver procurando um romancezinho clichê para passar o tempo.

Espera mais e a quantidade de episódios é cansativa.
Primeiramente, devo dizer que para quem gosta de clichê, o início da série é um prato cheio. Aquela velha história de protagonistas que se odeiam e são obrigados a dividir o mesmo teto. A história dos personagens protagonistas Qiang Heng e Cheng Yao começa bem, mas com os episódios se torna cansativa. O ambiente em que a história se passa, a temática do Direito e as Leis tinham tudo para dar um UP na história, no entanto, na minha opinião, os casos acabam sendo esquecidos e muitas vezes sem conclusão.Sobre os protagonistas, eles têm muita química, mas acredito que em algumas coisas pesaram a mão, principalmente no traço tóxico do protagonista, que muitas vezes transborda o limite do aceitável. Alguns exemplos: quando ele exige que Cheng Yao limpe e cozinhe para ele. As atitudes deles muitas vezes são questionáveis e, mesmo depois que eles iniciam o namoro, acabam sem meio bobinho e acredito que poderiam ter explorado mais a relação deles.
Um ponto que gostei são os outros casais, Chen Xi, irmã da Cheng Yao, e o amigo do Qiang. A história da Cheng Xi foi interessante, pois retrata abusos vividos no casamento. O outro casal que tinha no escritório também achei fofo. Quanto à quantidade de capítulos, era possível ter explorado mais ambos os casais e não focado em histórias inúteis.
Por fim, acredito que My Boss poderia ter tido 25 episódios, o que faria com que a história fosse mais concisa. Fiquei com sensação de que algumas histórias e personagens foram esquecidos. Um exemplo são os dois últimos episódios com a volta do ex-marido da Cheng Xi que foi claramente enrolação. O final deixou a desejar com um casamento que apareceu depois dos créditos finais.

Best start to the year 2024!
Probably the best modern c-drama of January 2024! Do give it a try for the main leads chemistry!It is a wholesome mixture of funny, fluffy, cute, funny and romantic at the same time. It is not overly cringe at all. The female lead is smart, cute and kind, and most importantly she is NOT a Love Brainer... she knows how to separate her relationship with her work, which makes it stand out from others. She doesn't need her man to protect her always.
Male lead on the other hand is rude and unsympathetic at the beginning but as the story progress he turns out to be the most caring and kind boyfriend who would do anything to protect her girl.
Oh and how can I forget the people who make this drama so damn funny, Wu Jun (ML's friend) and ML's mum had me every time it was their scene. Plus ML's mum is the best Mother-in-law out of all c-dramas, she is the cutest lol!
Edited- This drama had so much potential till episode 30 but lost all its momentum after that. My expectations were not met by the ending... to much happened that too in a short span of time. The writers did an amazing job till ep 30 but after that it got bad and worse! Overall it is still a good drama for light watch
Overall a very good drama to watch if you are looking for something light and cute but not cringe... It's a Must Watch!

Good Romance Drama
This is just idol romance drama.I am smiling while I am watching this drama.
Although it is old typical idol romance drama, some of plot lines and characters are quite okay. Both main lead actor and actress are quite fine in acting skills and good in chemistry and their chemistry is so lovely and sweet!!
The main reason I watched this drama is because of main lead actor, who I know actor from goodbye princess drama.
Although he looks older than his age, he is good at acting and quite confident on screen.
It may be due to he started acting on drama since 3 years old.
I enjoyed and keep smiling while watching this!!
At the last 5 episodes, the plots are shown different perspectives of female and male characters which is good!! They show independent women character who is working as professional career, is quite well and respectfully..

When My Boss and Beliefs Collide
This drama brought a refreshing balance to slow burn romances. The FL was young but not weak. She might be naive in romance but not standards nor boundaries. The ML was brilliant in strength as a boss and mentor yet soft when important. The nuisances within office relations, social norms and relational hesitation were relatable and heartfelt. The SFL as an antagonist was short lived but handled awesomely by the ML and SML. The supporting cast was very good at keeping the flow of the storyline. The growth with the FL was conveyed well. Even when the leads had conflict, you could still feel the 'heart' in it all. The unveiling of the 'bad eggs' was right on time and a twist that was enjoyable. The ML continued to grow in emotional intelligence which made the ending scenes cheer worthy. This series has a slow pace but is solid and worth the watch.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Chinese Writers need to create better material and stronger female leads.
Back when I started watching dramas in 2018 I preferred Chinese Dramas over Korean Dramas. Now here I am in 2024 and it's hard to find good-quality Chinese Dramas. This Drama was the worst for many reasons. I absolutely HATE how mild-mannered they make FL in these dramas. The first half of the show was just the FL with no backbone being bossed around by the ML who slowly started to develop feelings for her. Even the build-up to their dating was so anti-climatic and immature. The female lead acted like an abused victim who mumbled when she spoke and never spoke up for herself. I guess she was good at her job but not really she was just passive and gave good customer service. The case from episode 15 I think it was really irritated me. It was messed up for them to interfere with the mistress, wife, and daughter. It was clear the mistress wasn't a good person and that doing the DNA test would only hurt the daughter who was the most genuine out of the situation. That situation bothered me and the fact they never corrected the error and just let the story die out like that was ugh! I also think the revenge on the sister's ex-husband was so anti-climatic it was like girl this was your big payback... I feel like if this were a Kdrama revenge would've been sweeter.I started to fast forward after a certain point and here is why It took the FL half the show to figure out the lead liked her (episode 21) and then we get to episode 26 where the ML's admirer comes back and is about to play mind games with her. The second female lead was only there for a day and threw some compliments at the FL and defended the FL in a situation she started to gain the FL's trust and with that the 2nd FL was able to convince the FL to join her team. Of course, when she switched teams the 2nd FL was able to make her feel so insecure she ended up leaving the company altogether. I just wish they would write better, stronger, and smarter female leads in Chinese dramas. The 2nd FL is always more competent than the weak mild-mannered FL. It's crazy to me that the FL was so awestruck by the 2nd FL all it took was some kind words for her to switch teams. so annoying. This drama has no re-watch value and I'd only recommend it if you like the cliche dumb FL smart ML asian drama.

It makes me smile every episode
Although it is a typical idol romance drama and quite old, I find that the plot lines and characters are decent. The lead actor and actress are both good at acting and have great chemistry, which makes their on-screen relationship so lovely and sweet.The main reason I started watching this drama is because of Chen Xingxu, who I know from the dramas "Goodbye Princess" and "Fall in Love". Despite his older appearance, he is confident on screen and quite talented at acting. He is also very handsome, which may be due to the fact that he started acting at a young age.
I enjoyed watching this drama and found myself smiling throughout. In the last five episodes, the plot has shown different perspectives of both female and male characters, which I found quite interesting. The female character is portrayed as independent and successful in her professional career, which I found quite respectable.

Bad script and bad acting. The flow of the story would be better if it cut to 24 episodes instead
My Boss is another romantic comedy from Chen Xing Xu. He is typecast for the same kind of role. The plot is nothing special, and it is predictable. The second CP has a better storyline than the main CP.The Synopsis: Are Cheng Yao's dreams of becoming a top lawyer about to come true? It seems so when a leading legal firm unexpectedly recruits her. Excited, she moved house so she could be near her new office. She moves in, full of hope, and soon encounters her new roommate, Qian Heng. However, a surprise awaits her on her first day at work.
Qian Heng turns out to be her direct superior at the office, and he proves to be incredibly hard to please! Her training period quickly turns into a baptism of fire, and she starts to feel he is trying to chase her out of the company. But Cheng Yao will be more easily deterred. She redoubles her efforts, determined to prove she's got what it takes. Could her zeal send this duo to harmony and even love?
My Reviews:
1.. The plot is stupid and predictable. No one would have this kind of relationship where an employee is co-living with the boss and cooking for him. She is more like a slave and/or housekeeper than an employee.
2. I have watched 17 episodes, and there is still no romance between the main CP. No onscreen chemistry between the main CP.
3. The entire cast's acting could be better, and the main CP needs to carry the drama better.
4. Zhang Ruo Nan acted stupidly as a rookie lawyer in this drama. She did a better job in RomCom's "A Date with the Future" with William Chan last year. Their onscreen chemistry is off the chart, which is non-existent in this one.
5. . Chen Xing Xu is typecast for the same boring role where he plays cold, bossy, prideful characters in modern and historical dramas. He has no range.
6. The ending is so stupid; there is no wedding. The 2nd CP, her sister, and the 2nd ML have a better and more mature relationship.
It does not need 36 episodes; the flow of the story could have been better if it had been finished in 24 episodes.
7. The misunderstandings between the main CP are boring and repetitive.
I give it a 5.5 rating for bad script and bad acting.

A drama that checks all its troupes boxes right down to the very last one.
Cute FL — check
Eccentric Handsome ML — check
Forceful cohabitation — check
Naive ML — check
FL has an disorder only ML can cure, he realises it, he doesn't like it but puts up with it and as a result, falls first and hard— check
He doesn't like it but will endure for her — check
Loads of 'cute' filler scene — check
FL goes all out for ML because naive FL keeps tripping— check
For god sakes everything is too cute in here — check.
LOL!!
This script was written according to a formula and it's so obvious. It's not a bad drama to watch, provided you're not looking for anything serious.
Very predictable plot so far, it's not the kind of drama one can binge watch, it's the kind one remembers they're still watching when they're not watching anything and continue from where they left off. I'll watch it slowly.

Some good moments but mostly highly questionable... everything
This is one of those dramas that is purely there satisfy all your wrist grab aloof CEO needs, with a sweet, cool, talanted superwoman female lead and a hot n cold, jealous, stalkish narcissistic completely obsessed male lead, He is also extreamly competitive, childish and while they seemed to try to make him come off as this guy who strts of cold but becomes a big old sweet teddy bear. The guy actually collected more and more red flaggs as the plot went on instead of dropping them.Offering such great 'moments as
"With my help she should be able to grow in to a good lawyer" - not as good as him or better, and not due to her own efforts or anything like that...
Making me wish that the female lead would choose single life, the other female lawyer in her firm, her senior who had about 5 minutes of screen time... Just anyone else but the male lead, not the sisters ex but other than him pretty much any other character would have been better.
While part of the message in this drama had moments of progressiveness and he female lead does have her strengths . I did feel that most of the gender roles conveyed in here belonged somewhere in the past... way back, like in the 50s or so.
Basically: Man should protect woman, woman must cook and be soft, man strong and hard. Woman work both home and office man work office protect woman...
The pros: Good female lead, the plot was draggy at times but I did feel like making it to the end, hoping for a break up, still I did not have the urge to drop it. And the while I do not understand why this amazing female lead falls for the male lead,. And she does frustrate me at times. I still loved her and the other female lawyer (Chen Hao Lan) at the firm. The parts that where a bit progressive where actually really good letting the female lead express quite a few issues really well and has some pretty amazing lines such as:
" Whenever we discuss respect, you cant hear me"
Making it an okay watch, honestly just skip everything else and focuse on the female lead, the cute dog and Chen Hao Lan, who deserves a lead role ASAP.

BEST CDRAMA OFFICE ROMANCE
OF COURSE I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO IT BECAUSE CHEN XINGXU IS MY FAVORITE ACTOR. HOWEVER, THE 36 EPISODES AND THE BACKGROUND THEME "LAW" SCARED ME A LITTLE. FINALLY, I DIDN'T GET BORED FOR A SINGLE SECOND! THE BEGINNING IS VERY CRACKING BECAUSE CXX IS EXPRESSIVE AND DESPITE HIS LACK OF SMILE, HE ALWAYS MANAGES TO MAKE US UNDERSTAND WHAT HE HAS IN MIND. THE DRAMA IS FUNNY, BENEVOLENT, THERE ARE CASES OF VERY INTERESTING AND ENGAGING RIGHTS. THE RHYTHM OF THE DRAMA IS GOOD. CHEN YAO IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE SHE IS A PERFECT GIRL THAT I SAW GROW UP FROM THE GIRL AT THE FEET OF HER BOSS TO THE INDEPENDENT GIRL WHO ASSERTS HERSELF.EVERYONE HAS BENEFITED FROM AN EVOLUTION. THE ROMANCE ARRIVES LATE BUT AS A RESULT IT IS UNCOMFOLDED. ON THE PROGRAM OF SMALL SWEET MOMENTS BUT NOTHING "HOT" THEY ARE A PERFECT AND BENEVOLENT COUPLE AND THEY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER TO PERFECTION. I LOVED THE OST EVEN IF THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH (2/3...) I HAD A GREAT TIME AND I WILL MISS THE HUMAN WARMTH OF THE EVEN SECONDARY PROTAGONISTS BECAUSE I WAS ATTACHED TO EVERYONE. IT IS GENERALLY AN OFFICE ROMANCE WITHOUT FAIL. EXCEPT THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MARRIAGE WE WERE WAITING FOR! THIS IS MY FIRST FAVORITE OF 2024!

Ep1 - Ep 30 - 10/10, Ep 31 - 6/10, no longer interested to watch Ep 32 onwards.
Ep 1 - 30 no doubt 10/10 in all aspects, impressed and always looking forward to the next episode/s. I even watched/rewatched some episodes just to clearly understand the plot, issues, and resolutions. I was happy watching this even at work, did not bother if my boss saw me watching it while working because I can multi-task. That's how hooked and serious I am with this C-drama.Then came Ep 31 - disaster! a complete mess in the storyline. Flawed and unrealistic, a complete 360-degree turn of events with the FL portrayal, her issues, and actions are nonsense she left the ML on a one-sided love. I stopped watching this. I am no longer interested in watching the remaining episodes.
