This is one of the cutest dramas in my opinion, simply because of the actions between the two main leads. I really loved how Feng Teng (guy main lead) displays his emotions and how he helps Xue Shan Shan (girl main lead) behind the scenes. To me, Zhang Han is my bias and he has never let me down whenever he is doing a drama. His actions can make you swoon, and that is one factor that helps make the drama so successful.

Xue Shan Shan displays her actions fervently and openly. However, she tends to overthink about things, which can lead to complications. The ending is satisfying overall. I wished that there was a season 2 but either way, without another season, it should satisfy you. Overall, love the acting and the interactions between the main and second leads as well.

Definitely a rewatch in my opinion! :)

FL character growth

Just watched this for the 3rd time after a 2yr hiatus from dramas overall and fell in love with the characters all over again!

Yes, the plot seems cliche - cold, overbearing CEO falls for innocent, bubbly poor girl - but I like the way ML lets FL think for herself. Despite the huge difference in status, he respects her intellect and trusts her to make the right decisions for herself and their relationship, sometimes with a little prodding from him.

*Spoilers ahead*
I especially love the scene where he asks her if he's the one who goes bankrupt and gets buried in debt, would she leave him? Because she was wavering and wanted to back out from their wedding because her family owed him 10 million. Then he didnt just waive the debt, because he knew shr wont feel comfortable with it, but instead pushed and encouraged her to rise to the challenge and solve the problem herself.

** end of spoilers**

I must say that the ML is a huge part of FLs growth - without him, she would have been content to just coast along and stay in her comfortable yet mediocre space despite having the skills and opportunity to be and do better because nobody expected her to, until she met ML.

I also love her parents, esp her dad, for putting the family's pride and honor above all. Though he might have gone overboard in some of his decisions, as a parent, I understand where he is coming from : his child is more valuable than any material possession in the world and he only wants the best for her.

I loved to boss me is the first drama I see and I liked it a lot, they recommended me, but we would be happy to see them getting married feng ten and shan shan since they went through difficulties at the end and I imagined the great party that his sister prepare pafra them and know if shan shan could get pregnant and know places finally it would not be possible that there was a second part even if brebe! to see what happened next I think he deserved this story continue a little more and see that his family accepted and blessed ... it has been many years but I would love ami and see a little more of this couple that in my opinion a very good work together could feel the chemistry between them we shudder with the scenes .. I would like that as other occasions I would include a continuation even if it was brebe .. I would like to see some history with these two characters that I was captivated. We will look forward to another fabulous work from you with these characters in another romantic story.
I feel that the end was very hurried to where it was, it was a text for what I think I deserved a few more chapters had to give even the story

I really like both main actor & actress, their chemistry is really good. Because of this drama, I fall in love with both of the actor & actress acting skill. Zanilia carry her role really well especially when she tried to motivated herself when she faces life challenges. This is a good thing to watch as life often have challenges but with her attitude it help to lighten the heart. Also I like the way when she chunk all the food into her mouth :) As for Han, he is good on controlling the emotion in the drama which is important; where I think this will bring the audience to go through every bit of the story line together. I enjoy watching male dominant role, as they would be childish.

p/s: I have watch this for 4 times and counting.

"They live happily ever after" ,first time I had seen this tagline in asian drama otherwise I had only seen this tagline in bollywood movie ending with this tag line. I always think why they don't show this tag line .After read this tagline it is ok they didn't show their wedding. This tagline make the compitition of the drama.

It is a good love story between a high class society boy and middle class society girl ,when they started dating , she didn't think about this such big gap ,for her only to cherish those moment when she spend time with him but the society make her think so that there is a such big gap between them but at the sametime she had confidence on her love that such things never swayed their love ...But human hearts once for while little shake and made her think about so much that she make her life miserable but support and trust of love make them cross all hurdles come in their way .So this story all about this ,their love life ,ups and down in their life .Above all a true understanding ,honesty ,trust and confidence on love make very thing just a piece of cake.
"All is well that's end well"....

Adorable female lead! Her appearance & characteristic that she portrayed well-matched with the novel! Superb sweet plot and watching her growing & standing firm on her shoes in the drama. Worth to watch :)

Male lead I okay....lucky this is one of my first C-drama I watch - so I have yet to feel bored of him. Latter on, I realised most of his roles in other drama is same. Rich & Businessman....his acting just plain after you watch 2-3 drama of him.

I think I watched the drama first then only book. Seeing Shan shan eating really making me wanna eat - especially the soup noodles.

This drama contains everything we like to read in webnovels. A cold aloof president having a noble sophisticated aura and a fluffy cute woman who loves to eat. Seriously I liked the personality of Feng teng,the male lead and shan shan. Plus the fact that a happy ending where shan shan changes for good. This has elements of poor woman coming from rural area and adapting to the city life.I have rewatched this drama over 10 times and I never get bored.❤
My all time favorite....add some goofiness and eating......plus with hans zhang being so handsome you will never get bored

First of all, I want to give a massive round of applause to the whole cast. Acting in this in this series is so natural, believable, and flawless. I am particularly impressed with Zhao Liying (Shan Shan) and Zhang Han (Feng Teng). Chemistry is overflowing between the two just the simple ways they look into each other eyes, little peck on the cheek, interactions and gestures are so captivating and, again, believable. When comparing the two Gu Man's series, I don't know if anyone feels the same way about Xiao Nai's awkward hand gestures and Wei Wei's weird expressions through out Love O2O series, there's nothing like that here. Zhang Han may not have dripping good look Yang Yang does, but, man, he can act. As for Zhao Liying, watching her character's transformation as the show progresses is simply divine.

For storyline, there're some distractions and, what I find, immature plots here and there. I understand why the scenes are there. But, I was not convinced with some of the plots. Overall, I feel this series is complete and provides satisfying ending. I absolutely love how, in order to match her man, Shan Shan gradually grows through hard working and facing unfortunate events head on with Feng Teng's support and understanding. Trust and Loyalty play an important part in their relationship, just how it should be in real life too.

Music is okay. But nothing to write home about.
I will definitely be looking into other series with the two main actor/actress.

Different Romance, But Interesting

I consider this pretty much a pure romance drama. The female lead was very pretty with a very expressive face. I loved her! Male lead wasn’t permitted to show much emotion, apparently. I felt the personally of the two leads were quite unique to the dramas I have watched so far. The conflict and misunderstanding between the two leads came primarily from their almost total lack of communication. They almost never talked casually. Never talked when something upset them. Never talked when one wanted to know something. There was a lot of inner talk from the female lead. But she didn’t speak out loud. This couple interacted a lot over eating. Eating was important to the story. The ML, being a rich CEO, always seemed to wait for FL to make the first move in the relationship. It was weird. He had no game. Didn’t take her on fun dates. Didn’t give her flowers, jewelry, balloons, nothing to woo her. Anyway I could go on. This relationship was really weird, but also strangely entertaining to watch. There was a lot of growth to the major characters in this drama. One thing I found boring was the long relationship chats between the girl friends. Went on too long. Yawn. This gave you insight to the Chinese way families interacted. The sometimes huge expectations the parents had for their children’s future, and the way the children were expected to follow the rules of their parents, even if it was against their own dreams and wants. In the end, looking back, it was definitely worth watching, but not rewatching.

This was my frist time watching a Chinese drama. I didn't think I would be able to differentiate the dialect since I don't speak any type of Asian language. I was very surprised how different the language sounded compared to Korean or Japanese language. It took me a little bit to get used to, and also they speak faster so I had to get used to reading the subtitles at a faster pace.

The drama was pretty interesting. It was a little slow on some parts but overall a good storyline. It was nice to see their relationship progress and see how steady and how much faith they had in each other.

Yes, I super love this drama and literally I watched it over and over again. Got to know this drama because of Zhang Han (previously watched him at The Queen of SOP) and I hear many good reviews about this drama. And when I watched it, I know that this is my cup of tea.

Story : Basically a typical love story about rich male lead as a boss and poor female lead as accountant assistant, a love triangle, a kind of light drama that is enjoyable.

Cast : Zhang Han is always have a good acting and I really began to love the female lead, Zhao Li Ying. She is so pretty, cute, and adorable. The other cast also good and memorable such as Feng Yue, Zheng Qi, and Li Shu - all of them are pretty and handsome. Overall, I like all their acting and role.

Music : all of the soundtrack is good and nice

Rewatch : Definitely! I watched this drama maybe 5 times already and still love this. I really recommend this drama for a refreshing - light - romance comedy drama to all of you because you gonna love it.

I was pleasantly surprised by this drama. I wasn't all that excited about starting it and put it off for a long time. But when I did start I was completely hooked. Granted this drama might not be for everyone because there isn't some great drama or mystery to it. It is a straight forward, light-hearted romance. You know what is what from the very beginning of the show until the end. But that is kind of what drew me in. If you are looking for something light and funny to pass the time this drama fills that.
