Meu Chefe (2024)

Lovely acting but slow pacing

This has a slow, torturous beginning. Honestly it was kind of hard to watch the ML be mean to the FL and she just smiles and stays bubbly.

The pacing was slow too. I don’t mind things progressing at a natural pace but the episodes leading up to the leads being together draaaaaged. And then the writers inserted OW drama. Yikes. If it weren’t for the FL’s and ML’s character arcs, I probably would’ve quit this show.

I like that the FL wasn’t just all about the love she had for the ML. She wanted to be her own kind and professional person and that was lovely. I also love that the ML didn’t start looking around for someone else when the GL didn’t just make things easy for him. So despite the pacing, I watched this show for the mature and realistic development of feelings and relationship between the main leads and the two secondary couples. Lovely acting and fun music that you find yourself randomly humming throughout the day.

Feel-good drama

I am having a mixed feeling about this drama. I am fairly new to Chinese Dramas ,which is why it is quite hard for me to stick to dramas with many (36 too many) episodes. I guess I have no patience for it. The first 15 episodes were cute and fun to watch. Even the ML is starting to warm up to FL. The way he looks at her can melt any other girls into puddles. The chemistry is definitely "chemistrying" for both leads but the FL....Oh god how dense can she be? Can't believe the writer is portraying the FL, who is supposed to be a lawyer but she is acting like a doormat to her ML/boss all the time. She is so dumb at getting the signals the ML is so desperately trying to send to her. And don't get me started on the ML. He is very good looking (probably why I am tolerating this drama) but he is acting like an inexperienced school boy in love. His lines can be cringrey and childish at times. Not cool at all for a so called successful 30 yo lawyer. If the drama keeps on dragging back and forth, without any confession from either of them anytime soon, God help me I will flip the table. It's starting to get on my nerves!
The lesson to be learned from this drama: BE HONEST AND CLEAR ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS ALREADY!!! or else we'll be pulling our hair out going around in circles up untill the last episode.

The wonderful C-Drama

The story of Qian Heng and Cheng Yao is my PREFERRED story love ❤️. I would like more collaborations with Chen Xing Xu and Zhang Ruo Nan, they are so cute together ?.
I loved the whole series, the main actors, the story and the music.
One important thing that impressed me was the chemistry between Chen Xing Xu & Zhang Ruo Nan, as they make a wonderful couple in this series.
Unfortunately ?, many beautiful scenes from the series were cut during editing, but those scenes would have created a phenomenal series.
I would like season 2 of "My Boss" ❤️??.

Great drama but had potential to be better

This drama is cute and both leads are in their first relationship so watching them learn together was really cute. On the other hand, I was sometimes getting second hand embarrassment because of the fact that it was their first relationship. For example, their first kiss was soooo embarrassing. They obviously hadn’t kissed before and they both closed their eyes. He wanted to kiss her on her lips but since his eyes were closed he missed her lips and kissed her corner lips/her cheek. The sound effect to make it more embarrassing really did it job cause I had to pause the drama out of embarrassment! Anyways, I really loved Wu Jun (ML’s best friend) and Cheng Xi (FL’s sister), they formed a great mature couple, hey should have their own drama tgt. Plus, their visuals were matching. Their was another couple, Tang Yang and the other guy, in the office, really nice and mature couple, loved them! The ending was rushed but I guess like a lot of Chinese dramas. The ending wasn’t that great as their wedding was super rushed and the kid wasn’t theirs but WuJun’s and Cheng Xi’s. It would have made sense if they had more screen time. Overall great drama.

A Relationship with Flaws

I picked this up because I like the actor Chen Xing Xu. He’s a very versatile actor and I have seen him act in different roles. After watching it, I regret not watching this sooner and it is also what led me to write this review.

Chen Xing Xu acts as Qian Zheng a cold and strict person to himself and those around him. He has a very strict outlook on life and his own personal ideals. Which led him to success as a lawyer, as he is able to handle any case with a calm and steady mindset with only his clients claims in mind. On the other hand, our female lead Cheng Yao, a rookie lawyer, got into his law firm through some back door and perceives life in a more gentle and naive sense, which led to much conflict. Throughout the story, we see both of them grow their careers and how they both influence each other. They mostly handle family disputes (divorces, inheritances, etc.) so you will rarely see them in court, since cases like these are settled out of court.

I love the story a lot, it is very realistic and there’s no sugarcoating when the FL makes mistakes. While she does get few chances, she learns from it and improves. We see her shape as a lawyer and as an independent woman and it is amazing to see.

Though watching her get many chances and knight in shining armor brings you back to the fact that this is a drama. It infuriates some people who knows if they commit any of the mistakes she was committing, they would have been fired instantly and pushed to face the blame, so that no harm will come to the law firm. I like the fact that it was mentioned as an option, and common practice to do this. So watching the first half of the show was a bit frustrating watching her so naive. While she does get saved by the ML, we see her standing up for herself towards the end. The last couple of episodes was her showcasing her growth, while she has studied under ML, she took what she learned applied her own ideas into the way she handle cases. She didn’t let go of her gentleness, but used what she learned from her mistakes to prevent any mishaps in happening and she aims for clients interests. Not just what client specified which is the ML way to go, but consideration for the overall outcome and with both sides interests in mind.

Overall I will rewatch this, when I run out of stuff to watch. It’s a sweet drama and watch ML treat FL throughout the series was SO SWEET. The best part are the supports, they got me cackling at their jokes and FL co workers way in treating each other was just so heartwarming. Both ML and FL are flawed, they have problems, but are willing to listen to each other and learn. We see them grow as persons and by the end of the story, we see ML learning from FL. Showing how much FL as grown from being told off on what she should do to backing up her input with solid evidence.

FLAWLESS!!

Everything about the drama is so on point!

Chen Xing Xu.... You gained a fan here!!! Soooo damn handsome with flawless acting skills. I watched him in The starry Love first and then immediately jumped in to this drama expecting the usual boring office drama but this one literally proved me wrong and was par excellence for sure.

I wish they had cast Landy Li as FL though there are no flaws in this FL!

Just overwhelmed with this drama...

The story line is so intriguing that you won't be able to control your smile until your cheeks will hurt... All the other cast members have done their job on point!

Fluffy Office Romance

Ep 1-30 - enjoyed it more than I expected

Ep 31-35 - unnecessary episodes (lost its momentum, I practically fast forward the last three episodes just getting the whole gist of what happened so I could finish it)

Storyline (boss-employee & housemate romance) - cliche but done well except on the last 5 episodes. The chemistry between the two characters is great.

Family law concept - the cases in this drama compared to other law dramas I watched are just so-so. They failed on this concept.

Female lead - I don't get how the FL was cheated by the ML with all those "housemate rules" or double rental issue when she is a lawyer herself. Some of his demands, which the FL readily followed, are ridiculous. Her character development is also not that solid.

Male Lead - character development is better than FL, from being an a-hole boss to best boyfriend. The best ML in all dramas in deflecting the advances of other woman. Hello if only he exists in real life!

The three assistant lawyers are the best. I love them! I feel like their characters have more depth than the FL and ML. They help make the story more enjoyable. The scene when they know that the fl and ml are in relationship is so funny. Their expressions are so spot on!

Overall, it was one of those dramas that started out surprising so well "omg this is good" until it feels dragging there is a good chance you'll likely drop it.

A nice rom-com with strong msg that every girl needs to watch

This show tackles various complex themes through divorce cases, spotlighting issues that impact women, such as self-respect, career struggles, single motherhood, alimony, and child support. The plot delves into how women are often treated as "options" throughout different life stages: wives and daughters are abandoned for younger mistresses, granddaughters are overshadowed by potential grandsons, and girlfriends are deceived financially for selfish gains. The narrative doesn’t shy away from hard-hitting issues—like a woman being unfairly shamed after a pregnancy resulting from assault, or a talented, successful woman being harassed by her insecure husband, who can’t handle her achievements.

Story Overview:

The show is a feel-good office rom-com centered around a law firm founded by two best friends. Our main male lead (ML) struggles with insomnia, while the parallel male lead (PML) is rekindling his old flame after her recent divorce. The plot flows at a comfortable pace—not too fast, not too slow—and mixes in plenty of comedy with well-matched chemistry between the leads.

Along the way, the insomniac ML finds that his cure just might be the company of the female lead (FL). Meanwhile, the FL’s elder sister happens to be the high school crush of our PML.



Casyt is amazing..there are so many actors and all of them were extremely good.
the Actor playing ML is good looking but his acting is what caught my attention, I have seen very less actors who can hold one expression for so long ..wow .. moreover his contrast between tyrant boss and timid bf was amazing. I genuinely loved his performance.


The actress playing FL is so cute ..her pleasant,cheerful and not very sexy appearance is very apt for this role .. her acting was good as well. other female characters parallel female lead, the vamp and office bestie were also good.. especially the office bestie, she is gorgeous. The ML's mom was love.

The ending was not up my taste .. I didn't like the idea that ML was waiting for like atleast 7 years just to get married ( judging by the kid age) .. I believe in women empowerment but not like this .. he supports him so much getting married wouldnt have hurt her career as for matter there is no such prejudice in law field



Overall a good drama worth watching
