Director New suck at comedies
A Boss and a Babe is rom - com that fail in both comedy and romance aspect.
Director New suck at comedies - he can't do them - he and the editing just don't seem to understand that jokes and comedy depend on the delivery.
Most jokes don't translate well to other languages leaving us viewers most of the time with no-verbal comedy - that would land better if they didn't think Book making stupid expressions was it.... He is also the only one - he might not be the best comedic actor but I don't think under these circumcises even top comedy actor would pull it off.
Romance part also doesn't work because our main characters were already in love in the first episode (total Deux Ex-Machina) and act like middle school students when they were supposed to be working adults. Force play company boss - his hotness was pretty much the only thing that keep me watching, but he don't take off his shirt enough to keep me distracted for twelve episodes. But that cold company Boss- who could be sued for workplace sexual harassment don't even think about his work and company when he was supposed to be the intelligent cold boss... Why would he from get-go decide to get together with an intern that doesn't even have basic common sense (As office culture goes - he would be fired on the first day) and few episodes in still don't seem to do anything except bringing coffee.
This whole romance felt like something written by a person who never was in a relationship while Force and Book feel more like long-time friends than lovers.
There is also almost no plot progression - the romance part was pretty much stuck since episode 2 or 3 while most of the subplot was never explored or ended. This story was material for movie because twelve episodes series made it almost unbearable to watch with how flat it fell. All side characters were also wested - because the plot surrounding them was never explored or answered - there was just no need for most of them to ever be in this drama.
To sum it up I don't recommend it, twelve episodes don't make any sense when there are many better series around to watch.
