This is about simple, innocent and guileless Xue Shanshan, a new accounting assistant at a large corporation, who attracts the attention of the company CEO Feng Teng, when she donated her rare blood to his sister whose life was on the line while delivering her first baby.
The romance between Shanshan and Feng Teng becomes fodder for office gossip with Shanshan receiving much criticism and barbed remarks about her unsuitability and unworthiness of being Feng Teng's girlfriend. Feng Teng tries to help as much as he can in the background, unknown to Shanshan, to avoid more gossip.
This version of Cinderella is realistic, showing the difficulties that both sides of a couple with severely disparate backgrounds face.

Smoother than butter. The malee lead, the consistency of his character, some of the subplots are worth the watch. Some may laugh but after a degree in English Literature, and being raised with Hollywood and British TV, I have had to read and reread atrocious books that some call classics. I am also a romance novel junkie, so books without saIt, pepper, herbs and spice I have read. Builds up the very best tolerance for crap.
Sorry. I am a consumer. Black. White educated. "Tired" world inhabitant. Female. Endurance, and sacrifice is the name of my game. My sister asked me to watch this. But the male Lead was intriguing from episode one. Female lead/ role has highlights but I am unconvinced of some of the things the creators claim. That sgd ix hard worker is well documented. However, I can't believe she passed CPA within a year. Running jewelry store is a hard sell. Creative choice and intent understood, but transition without transformation is both incredulous in art and dangerous in real life. Equality gas more to do with personal self worth or self-esteem than reputation or the judgment of others. A change of job to prove equality then to relinquish it for personal harmony is pointless. Popularity and intelligence are unrelated .
Furthermore, the personal ideas of lead female character are a hodgepodge of assumptions, presumption and bad friendly advice- a 1001 reasons not to watch BET or lifetime. Then condemnation of male lead for a lie after female lead has already told too many lies to trace is a common fallacy of feminist sympathetic discourse in film.
But must a work be rejected full scale just because of blatant folly in one choice? New or unknown talent, in front of and behind the screen, must be given the chance to make or to present their argument for being given an audience. Gives better opportunity to learn more about other cultures, societies and the creative process inherent to different television industries. Thank you covid. Different world views facilitate ease of change in personal perspective and adjusting to manifold ways of telling a tale destroys prejudices, conscious and unconscious, by only watching the work of one TV industry.
Feng Teng holds his own. He chooses a mate for personal comfort and not social expectations, facilitating evolution of a better man and leader. Credit must be given to director, writer and supporting cast and crew for being singular in objective and maintaining audience's gaze.
Loved wardrobe - to be fascinated by winter and autumn clothing is new to me and only developed after seeing wardrobes for male actors. The men capture your gaze but female wardrobe prolongs it. Began with Korean actors but Chinese sustained admiration. But the timbre of some of the male voices is exceptional and induces a drug like effect.
Smile. Transitioning between intelligent viewing to being downright silly in personal taste is a hoot. When your frame of mind consistently changes it allows you to see and appreciate more. You also recognize that learning can take place in any mindset. As a teacher of young children this inspires and refreshes motivation.

Boss and me is such a beautiful drama. Well written. The character development is amazing, from the 1st to the last episode we can actually see how our chubby Shan Shan has matured into a wonderful woman. The way Feng Teng supported her throughout the drama, it's commendable. He helped Shan Shan discover herself better and she developed the confidence so that she could call herself Feng Teng's girlfriend proudly to the whole world. Thank you for this beautiful story.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Story of a girl in her 20's that mentally about 16, with know it all friends that are experts on everything romance. The usual hand of bullies in the office and interfering family and friends and lead actress acts mentally retarded most of the time. A boss that is sadist and obviously secretly is a misogynist, full blown.
This show is so boring. It so slow moving and nothing exciting happens. The female lead is so immature that it is painful to watch. The male lead is so dull. I find their relationship to be very unbelievable. I tried to stick it out but only made it about halfway through the series.

Watched all 33 episodes! All in all a beautiful love story actually. The love triangle, complex & complicated. Beautiful ending! Awesome chemistry between the leads casts & fantastic supporting casts!
In the beginning it's rather annoying as it drags on about an immature, naive, cute & sweet 23 year old woman who has a child mentality, daydream all the time, talk to herself all the time in her brain, talks without thinking most of the time & childish!
She can be immature, can't read the situation, doesn't realised Lishu is in love with the boss /her boyfriend, She doesn't know when to mind her business, She embarrasses herself, wrong attire for different occasions, get herself drunk at the most inappropriate events.
In the beginning the story is good but it drags & getting tired of her character but as her attire, look & hairstyle change, she looks adorable & pretty, the storyline changes to a more mature. Her character changes to.
Then the boss/the boyfriend who treats her hot & cold most of the time. Next to egoistic & domineering.
His sister is sweet, trendy, stylish, pretty, sexy & adorable to look at!
The boss bestfriend sweet, thoughtful, handsome & charming!
Then there's the boyfriend secret unrequired first love, as the boss calls her little sister Lishu who is in love with Feng Teng the boss for the last 12 years! In the beginning she is deceitful, spiteful, insidious even after been rejected.
In office is a non-stop gossip! It's like a culture!
The last few episodes are interesting, Shanshan the lead is gutsy, pretty & smart. Feng Teng the boss handsome when he smiles & lovable. Lishu more matured & nice. The boss bestfriend the same, charming. The little sister the same adorable.
All in all worth watching! There are tears of sadness & happiness! Especially a couple of scenes when it's funny, tears of laughter!

The drama started out a bit slow. But as I continued to watch I was drawn in. I admired Feng Teng love and tolerance for Shanshan. Yes, she was flaky, immature yet genuine, kind and has a pure heart. I adored his irresistible manner. And her blonde root character. Adorable.

Predictable script, but could have been enjoyable nevertheless if they hadn't made the main character an intellectually vapid idiot waif. She's supposed to be cute, but she's an infantile fool instead. And dumb. Or did I already say that? If she had been capable, it would have been worlds better and the romance would have been understandable. Male lead was entirely devoid of charm, though probably not the actor's fault.
