Boss & Me is a Chinese romance drama running 34 45-minute episodes. Xue Shanshan (Zhao Liying) is a new accountant at a big software company run by Feng Teng (Hans Zhang). She somewhat unqualified and later finds out she was hired because of her rare blood type — the first episode starts with her going to the hospital to donate blood to Feng Teng's sister Feng Yue (Zhang Yang Guo'er) who is in labor.

In thanks Yue sends daily lunches to Shanshan and eventually she starts eating those lunches in Teng's office with him. She also eats lunches outside of Teng's office by herself and she doesn't realize the window is one-way so she acts naturally by herself while Teng watches her.

Teng becomes attracted to Shanshan and her openness and honesty. Meanwhile most women after Teng look down on Shanshan because she is from low background and is quite unsophisticated and less attractive (I guess this was intentional but pretty much every other woman in this series is taller and more attractive than Shanshan). One of those other women is Teng's childhood friend is Yuan Lishu (Li Chengyuan) who is sophisticated, runs a bookstore chain, and is secretly in love with Teng.

The last major player is Zheng Qi (Huang Ming), good friend of Teng's and the software company's head of design. He's a ladies man and every woman is attracted to him including Shanshan. Shanshan is attracted to Qi who is much more charming whereas Teng is taciturn and seems to pick on Shanshan even though he then makes sure Shanshan is not bullied by others…

This is a fairly typical Chinese romance drama series. It focuses on Shanshan and we often hear her thoughts (and no one else's). Shanshan tends to overthink things and is quite insecure and spends a lot of time trying to decipher social cues from Teng and others. So most of the problems in their budding relationship stem from Shanshan and it does get kind of annoying at times.

Still, I do like this series though more average than good.
