The Boss is Back

Starting this drama, I had a moment of dread thinking they were going with a body swap story or even another alternate universe a la MSP. However, I was pleasantly surprised when that was not the case. This is more along the lines of what I was hoping for with My Skyy 2. Not ridiculous story lines, not deciding to throw in magic and alternate universes and other gimmicks, but getting to see a continuation of our leads lives and their stories without a whole lot of drama. These episodes served that for me. It wasn't over the top, there wasn't a ton of drama, it was just fun and light hearted comedy. Considering that I wasn't a huge fan of the drama, I wasn't sure what to expect from this, but it was worth watching.

One of the biggest problems I had with the drama was the almost complete lack of sensical plot. It went all over the place, achieving nothing. Here though, there was a clearly defined plot and it worked pretty well. The focus on getting Gun to understand that he didn't have to be so overbearing and harsh towards his employees and that work is for work hours allowed us to get to know the characters better, Gun especially. It also allowed for some genuinely comedic moments with Cher acting as the boss and Gun as the intern. And while it doesn't really reference anything that happened from the drama, I found that to be a positive considering so much of it was nonsense.

Character wise, I liked getting to know Gun better, his way of thinking and perceiving people and actions. I would have liked to delve a little more into what exactly drove him to be such a workaholic, but the short time frame didn't allow for that. I also appreciated getting to know Cher more. He's more perceptive than you would think and sometimes his antics can make one forget that he's actually pretty smart. While that's not shown extensively here, he does have his moments to show that intelligence. And the length he went to both to help Gun destress and show him that he needed to be more attuned to his employees feelings and needs showed how much he cared. It was very wholesome to see. And of course he got to have fun bossing his boyfriend around and getting to be the boss for a day, but it's pretty clear Gun doesn't really mind. I also enjoyed the return of Cher's friends, especially Three and Zo. That scene with them pretending to fight was pretty entertaining. The group's friendship was one of the positives from the drama and it remained so here. The fact that they were so supportive of Cher, even agreeing to his ridiculous plan, just showcased that they're the kind of friends everyone should have.

The acting was solid. Again the romantic chemistry between Force and Book is nil, but except for the end, I didn't miss it. Their buddy chemistry worked for a couple that had been together for some time and the few sweet moments between them were actually almost genuinely sweet, probably because they were so innocent. They both turned pretty wooden though there at the end with that final kissing scene. Everyone else did a good job and it was fun to see so many returning from the drama.

I think this addition to My Skyy 2 is my favorite thus far. It was pretty much what I was hoping for from the entirety of the series and I have my fingers crossed that they won't annihilate Bad Buddy or Thousand Stars and will stick to this formula. I enjoyed the fact that these episodes were more than just pure fluff, they actually had some depth to them. It was a good way to conclude their story and it seems fitting that they're sent off with a dash of humor.
