Boss & Me is a great romance drama. If you're looking for something cute and light this one's great. There are two or three expected scenarios (cliches) of a romantic drama but it's done right. It isn't over the top and it feels like you're watching a good drama happen in real life - like the love story of your favourite old neighborhood couple after knowing they've been married for like 60 years. It's fluffy and cute. You can overlook the flaws of the drama with just how cute the two leads are together. The story presents itself as the typical rich man pursuing the average lady but it's more than that. There's depth to the main characters which makes the story much better. We see a man who knows that this love is not well looked upon amongst the society so he doesn't know how to approach the situation and his emotions. We see the girl who's honest with what she feels but she doesn't exactly act on it because she knows that things like this only happen in dramas. I want to say it's a realistic approach to a highly impossible situation. For example: when we ask questions like (How did he get there? or Is he just going to let her walk away like that?), there aren't moments like that. We are given segments where our questions of the realism in the drama world are answered. It's like they matched the drama world to ours. We are greeted with welcoming characters, instead of an arrogant rich family we see a friendly but cautious family. They don't flaunt their status but they do use it to their advantages. There are no over the top characters that throw you off track. We get what we're expecting. I think that's what made this drama so enjoyable. We are given a toned down and sweet approach to an overused and exaggerated theme of the rich man and average lady story. The side stories are perfect side stories - they don't overshadow the overall plot. But the side stories are really just there to create more depth to the characters around the main couple. I could see why they are necessary. It created a good balance so you aren't overwhelmed by the whole theme of the story. The acting was perfect for this theme. The female lead was not annoying. Although she was presented to be a cute lead she wasn't the cringe worthy cute. She wasn't innocent and pure, she was honest. I really admire her acting. She gave a perfect representation. To play a refreshing and honest personality is often hard because viewers tend to get annoyed and criticize - good - characters. The male lead's acting was good. I don't know if I'm admiring his acting or the character itself. He played a stoic person. The writing gave the viewers space to understand that he had other emotions kept under his calm visage. Or maybe it was the way he held the female lead that made us believe in their love. Their chemistry was amazing. I felt like they had been together for years and although his lack of expression - she didn't mind it cause that's just how he is and it was just how they'd always had been. There were never awkward moments. The OST was good. The opening was nice but the ending sometimes threw me off from the whole setting of the story. It sometimes felt out of place. There was a really cute song that played every so often at the right moments. I personally really liked that song and when I listen to it I can imagine myself walking in the park on a breezy summer day or eating ice cream with a bunch of friends. Rewatch value @ 8/10 cause it was so cuteee! I just love the two together. But sometimes there were unnecessary parts so I'd literally be just clicking around looking for the leads and not watching the full episodes.
