Boss and Me or 杉杉来吃 aka (Come and Eat Shan Shan) is the newest romantic comedy drama airing in China, also an adaptation from the famous novel by Gu Man.

The drama is about an innocent, naive and glutton girl, Xue Shan Shan, who loves to eat. She works at the big conglomerate, Feng Teng, and have a rare blood type AB RH negative and beccomes the blood donor for her big boss's sister. To repay for her kindness, the boss's sister prepares daily lunches for both Feng Teng and Shan Shan and have it delivered it to her work everyday. People from the company misunderstood Shan Shan's relationship with "Big Boss" (Da Lao Ban) Feng Teng. Feng Teng learned about Shan Shan's personality and grown to like her, but the naive Shan Shan knows nothing about love and mistaken Feng Teng's treatment towards her as a form of bully. Shan Shan naively thinks that Feng Teng is feeding her in order to get the rare blood from her. Their love story begins before Shan Shan knows it.
First of all, the drama is not dubbed! which is rare and a smart move from the director. The well-known director for the drama Bull Fighting and P.S. Man is directing this drama! It's no wonder that it has a very Taiwanese rom-com feel to it. I love the fact that I can hear their real voice, because it displays their real emotion! it's not overly dramatic like the dubbed one.


Zhao Li Ying plays Xue Shan Shan, our main heroine, and I can't have it any other way. Shan Shan is a bubbly, cute, and completely clueless when it comes to love. Her specialties include eating, sleeping and eating and sleeping. She's not good at work, but tries her best at whatever she does. Sounds like a typical female lead who gets the guy in every drama... and she does get the guy in the end (or at least in the novel). But in this case, Shan Shan isn't annoying at all. Her character is super loveable and funny, to the point that you never think a person can have that kind of mindset. 
 Li Ying is super cute and she portrait Shan Shan perfectly, or she pinpoint exactly how I imagined Xue Shan Shan to be. I know some Chinese fans don't like Li Ying, because apparently she's a b*** in real life, but we never know and I'm fine with it as long as she's good at acting.
The analogy in this drama is that Feng Teng is a wolf and Shan Shan's a pig. The wolf wants to feed the pig until it's fatter and has more meat so it will taste better, but in the end the wolf fell in love with the pig and let it free. Yet the pig have grown attached to the wolf and doesn't want to leave.

Zhang Han plays Feng Teng, the cold CEO who doesn't care about many things other than work. He was initially intrigue by Shan Shan's optimism and gluttonness. Once he understood her mentality, how she thinks and how naive she is, his heart eventually melts and fell in love with the cute Shan Shan. Feng Teng doesn't displayed his love easily, he plays it cool on the outside and treat Shan Shan coldly. Ex: scared her about her job, make her study for exam, force her to pick vegetables for him. However, it is obvious that he's mean to her because he cares. He's the company CEO and she's still a new employee not under the company's full time contract, yet he eats lunch with her and invite her to be his dinner date to a party. It's no wonder that everyone from the company misunderstood their relationship.

Zhang Han isn't my first choice of Feng Teng. He's pretty okay looking, but a bit too bony (skinny) and serious. His face feels like it's straight out from a makjang drama. At scenes that I imagined Feng Teng to be smirking or something, I cant see Zhang Han making such expression. I saw him in Bu Yi Yang De Mei Nan Zi, and he was corny and cute with Gui Gui, but I don't see it in Boss and Me. I love him with Zheng Shuang (they dated in real life, and Zhang Han did say that he will forever love her even when they have broken up)... but for some reason, I can totally see him with Zhao Li Ying. Maybe it's because both of them are using their real voice so it just sounds very natural or because Zhao Li Ying is so good at portraying Shan Shan and Zhang Han is very good at his Feng Teng, that's why naturally their acting just fits the novel. 
Like seriously, what kind of guy cross their leg like that.... (sorry Zhang Han's fangirls...)--- -blocking any eggs and tomatoes thrown at me by Zhang Han's fangirl-.
His Face is too bony, so it looked really sharp and harsh?







Cute Moment #1
Shan Shan who got daily lunches from Feng Yue couldn't take the gossip behind her back as everyone have been speculating what is Shan Shan's relationship with Feng Teng. She found a new location to eat, not knowing that it is on the side of Feng Teng's office. The glasses is the type that outsiders cannot see what is going on inside, so Shan Shan cannot see Feng Teng's office at all, whereas Feng Teng can see Shan Shan's every movement. Feng Teng enjoys seeing Shan Shan eating her daily lunches and so he watches her eat while eating his lunch. It's kinda creepy when you think about it, but the drama made it looked so funny and cute! ;D TRUST!


Cute Moment #2
So Qi Shuai (super handsome) , is our second main lead who wasn't emphasized in the novel (i forgot if he even existed in the novel)who Shan Shan has a crush on. He saw Feng Teng's invitation to Shan Shan for Feng Yue son's 1 month Birthday party (that was a mouthful) and initiated to give it to Shan Shan. At first Shan Shan was super happy that Qi Shuai wanted to talk to her, until she realized that it was for Feng Yue's child, and didn't want to go. But then Qi Shuai told her that he wanted her to be his partner for the night, and he will go pick her up at 6PM.
I thought it was super cute that Shan Shan has a crush on Qi Shuai. He is like our cute second lead, and he is also very likeable.



Cute Moment #3
When Qi Shuai picked up Shan Shan, our main Feng Teng prevented them from having alone time together by making Qi Shuai meet up with him beforehand. Shan Shan was shocked when she saw Feng Teng sitting in the back of the car. Qi Shuai noticed how Feng Teng acts when it comes to Shan Shan and purposely did things to provoke Feng Teng. First he invited her to the party, then he told her to hook arm with him. HAHAHA. This guy doesn't know who he's messing with. I thought Feng Teng's expression was hilarious when Qi Shuai made a peace sign.


Cute Moment #4
Well, the competition didn't stop after Qi Shuai abandoned Shan Shan for other girls. Feng Teng made Shan Shan his new partner and purposely give her food to eat and make her drink his alcohol. Feng Teng is a CEO, but you realized how childish he is, just by seeing the way he competed with Qi Shuai. Qi Shuai texted Feng Teng after seeing how he treated Shan Shan but our main lead purposely ignored Qi Shuai and did it even more. It's kinda like when you were little and someone tell you not to eat the cookies in the jar but that makes you want to eat it even more. HAHAHA.
It's funny when you can definitely tell that Shan Shan was getting drunk. 






Cute Moment #5
Just when Shan Shan thought she escaped receiving daily lunches from our "Da Lao Ban," she got a noticed to come to his office. I thought it was cute that his secretary, Ah Mei, is a strong supporter of TengShan couple. She dragged Shan Shan into in Feng Teng's office. Shan Shan took a good look at Feng Teng's working and was mesmerized by his beauty. She was staring--- yes, girl it's not obvious that you're changing angles while staring at him at all--. She said that she didn't realized that he was that handsome. He also realized how nice his voice is when he called her name.
 that's a good start right? :) She is attracted to his looks.








Cute Moment #6
This one made he laughed so much. So Shan Shan came up with plan that if she fake having a cold, then she wouldn't have to eat lunch with Big Boss anymore, using the excuse that she can get him sick if she eats with him. She assumes that during the time she's sick, he will find another person to pick vegetables for him and he will eventually forget about her existence, since she is a small employee afterall. While she fake being sick, she made noodles for herself and went to her usual lunch location next to Feng Teng's office. She then was so pleased with her "smart plan" and enjoyed her ramen. She did her usual dance, not knowing that Feng Teng found out her entire plan and even danced along with her. THIS WAS CUTEE!!!


Overall: 4.5/5
First five episodes really exceeded my expectations. I mean, the storyline is good already so it was up to the actors to make the novel comes to life. The drama followed the novel quite closely, except Qi Shuai and how big his character is, not like it's bad or anything, since I really like Qi Shuai. I think my favorite moment is definitely when Qi Shuai and Feng Teng childishly compete with each other for Shan Shan at the Birthday Party. :)

Will definitely update more cute moments from ep 6-10 soon. But the episodes come out way too fast. It's 3 episodes per day so I don't even have time to screencap and write. Will be a bit late but definitely will do it.

Sorry but Zhao Li Ying is not a b*tch in real life,she's a good girl,straightforward person so sometime people don't like her about that but she's still a hardworking girl,they hate her because they're jealous.
