Everybody is a BIG fool!!! and I love it

Don't judge me for my bad taste
Everytime I watch this show I'm always screaming "you're a fool" at someone over being foolish, stupid and dumb (usually the three at the same time). The fact that a lot of people decided to take this show so personally and be so offended at its existence and were upset that people actually liked it is what sends me.

Personal thoughts
The show is literally called "bad guy my boss" so it is to be assumed we already should've expected what we're getting into and people were still coming back every week to complain? What exactly was you expecting? Academy award winning performances? a dramatic plot? Hollywood studio producers? a blockbuster? or euphoria typa aesthetics? Let's be serious please. This show is exactly what it said it is, often times trashy, wattpad level of cringe and a dumpster fire of pure mess.

Story
Now. I won't ignore that the show was written very badly. It definitely was, but that's its defining charm because the writers and producers seemed not to take themselves too seriously, to create a story that was lighthearted, and very sweet from a very popular genre as old as time ....."sexy boss man wants to fuc ....err penetrate naive secretary" but oh wait naive secretary is in fact in love with sexy boss man and is an undercover freak in bed. YES, YES, YES this is one of those secret guilty pleasures I should enjoy in peace. This is right up there with mafia king kidnaps innocent civilian and falls in love (365 days type shii), billionaire playboy marries poor orphan, most popular guy falls for ugly duckling plain jane or Alpha mates with luna or bonds with omega. I watched pitbabe too btw and i loved it and it was just as bad as this. So sue me.

The point i'm trying to make genres like this exists for people like me who just loves consuming them, because you honestly dont need to think hard very hard, its usually funny, there's always a happy ending, and it proves that out there, there's really someone for everybody and you too will find love, because love is beautiful and it doesn't judge you. It comes exactly when you need it.

And that's why i adore this show and why i kept tuning in. The happiness on Pat's face whenever Elyes loved on him. That glow. I mean the penis must have been phenomenal too but dang they was in love. And i loved it regardless of the misunderstandings; even with kim (damn kim. Aww you'll get yours too king), teeranai, thiti, the ex girlfriend, feilong with the; clunky loafers, one outfit and white ankles and Run. Btw Run is gorgeous. Big s/o to the casting team. Everyone is a snack. Run, Thiti, Kimhan. TOPTIER
...….......Even with all those misunderstandings they worked it out and now he got the happy ending he was so afraid to hope for because he thought he didn't deserve it. Many a times I wanted to slap Khun Elyes for being a dog bastard but as the great draya michele once said "your hoeness can be deleted". So as far as Pat's concerned Elyes is as pure as driven snow. But Pat's a better person than me cos I would have dragged kim's ass for kissing my man. I don't play like that. Fool was up there crying.
And the exposition was crazy. A character would narrate a whole backstory without drawing breath randomly to explain a situation they could have just woven into the scenes. And the flashbacks were even worse.

Overacting
Well they tried they best. A lot of times James was a bit forceful and did look like he wanted to burst out laughing but Kad was able to compensate for that and at times the cast were stiff with each other but they carried they roles well. A lot of them were first timers as actors and i gave them grace I did read the book and i think they sold this buswreck as best as they could. But i busted out laughing a lot whenever teeranai was in his villian era.

Music
Yeah. The soundtrack was a mix of early 2000s telenovela osts and 80's porno bgm. Especially in the beginning but you'd eventually get used to it. The music was at most times used to set the mood of scenes of smoke filled tension, rose tinted lust, jealousy, anger, teeranai...etcetera. I swear the music is so random and loud

Disappointment
In the book they had a character in a wheelchair. Jz i believe whom had a partner. That would have been nice to see on screen bring some diversity to thai shows esp for PLWDs community. But i guess the budget went as far as it could. Hmm

Conclusion
I looked forward to this show everyweek. I'd make tea lay om my bed and have a grand ole time. The show is honestly not that bad. I understand why a lot of people were impatient with it. I also have complained about shows like this. But this particular one had a certain charm. It must have been that first scene of Pat having flashbacks of Elyes' flash bang...anyways I loved it and i suggest that before starting it you'd realise that this show should be taken at face value and If you dont like it that's perfectly fine. But complain once and leave us to our trashy show lol
