Boss and Me Episode 33 Final Review & Recap

At last, I am posting the final episode but it was written mostly by lidge:) After 32 episodes, I was too tired out and can’t write the last one so I asked lidge, my partner in crime to help me to finish it:) It is very rare for lidge to say yes to my request so you better leave plenty of encouraging comments for her, lol. Actually, I am someone who is rather sentimental and don’t like to say goodbye or don’t know how to say goodbye so I’ve decided not to write an overall review since I’ve written nearly everything in my episode reviews and recaps. As cover pictures, I’ve included nearly all the kisses and pinches to remember the wonderful time we had in watching this drama:)  You can google for other reviews as there are about more than 5 online. But I’ll do a final post on the drama so stay tune:P Thank you for reading & commenting. See you again in 🙂

I got duped:( That silly tv channel withheld 5 mins of the drama to be shown on the following day so I thought I’ll get an episode:( But I only got the last 5 mins of Shan Shan reminiscing about her relationship then she goes to the rooftop to meet Feng Teng to watch the New Year Eve’s fireworks together. My my, what anti-climax. That is such a subdue ending? No banquet? No wedding gown like the typical idol drama? I feel kind of disappointed:( According to the rumor mill in baidu, there maybe a sequel but don’t quote me on it. I’ll tell you if that is really true as this drama is rather well-received in China so I won’t be surprised if they’ll film one. But it won’t be really following the novel so I ‘ve my reservation on it. Moreover, sequels are nearly never good or better than the original so maybe better to leave us with the best memories.

Shan Shan complains to Feng Yue and Li Shu about Feng Teng  being overprotective but Feng Yue says it is because he cares very much about her well being so Shan Shan reluctantly accepts his arrangement. Then, they bump into Feng Teng’s ex-girlfriend, Wang Pin Ruo, at the cafe. Wang Pin Ruo is a famous actress so Shan Shan seizes the opportunity to ask if she would be willing to model for FS Jewelry. Li Shu warns Shan Shan that she shouldn’t play with fire because Wang Pin Ruo is a devious troublemaker who will try to steal Feng Teng (hmm, look who’s talking). Shan Shan replies that she trusts Feng Teng. Feng Yue wonders if Feng Teng will cry or laugh after hearing this and Shan Shan says confidently that he’ll definitely laugh:P

Shan Shan: Today is Sunday, no need to go to work, are you happy?

Feng Teng: Since today is so special, what do you want to do?

Shan Shan: Hmmmm…I want to stay at home to keep you company.

Feng Teng: This is also what I want to do.

Shan Shan: Excuse me, I need to answer my phone. Trendy magazine? You want to do an interview with us? The person in charge is Xue Liu Liu. How about next Wednesday? I’ll make the arrangement so please send me your address. Thank you. Bye, bye. Ahahaha….Trendy magazine wants to do an interview with Liu Liu.

Feng Teng: Are you sure you want to hire Wang Pin Ruo as the spokesperson?

Shan Shan: Yes….

(Hello! I am Wang Pin Ruo’s manager. She has agreed to be the spokesperson. We’ll discuss the details when we meet up later.)

Shan  Shan: Ahahaha….Wang Pin Ruo’s manager replied that she has agreed to be the spokesperson for FS Jewelry.

Feng Teng: Her manager replied you but she personally sent me a text message.

Shan Shan: Oh!

Feng Teng: Xue Shan Shan, are you too naive or are you trying to test me?

Shan Shan: Both also not. I just want to use the best method to help FS Jewelry. Moreover you said before, don’t look at what you’ve said but look at what you’ve done. Now is the time for you to prove your words. Also, I’ve 100% trust in you which is why I dare to do this.

Feng Teng: After hearing what you said, if I disagree, it’ll seem like I am the one at fault.

Shan Shan thinks: With Wang Pin Ruo as the spokesperson, it’ll help the jewelry brand to be more well-known. This time, I must do my best to make this a success.

Wang Pin Ruo agrees to advertise for Shan Shan, with the requirement that Feng Teng shows up at the photo shoot. Shan Shan begs Feng Teng to help her so Feng Teng is slightly miffed that Shan Shan does not appear a bit jealous. Nevertheless, on the day of the photo shoot, Feng Teng still shows up and politely greets Wang Pin Ruo. At this point, Shan Shan shows she is not a pushover rabbit when she declares that Feng Teng and her are already engaged. Everyone is stunned at this sudden news, with the one most surprised probably being Feng Teng, lol.

Shan Shan: Our profit for the month will be approximately $2m so I can repay you about $1m at the beginning of next month. Hence, we have repaid you $4.5m in total. Heehee……

Feng Teng: What a surprise that you want to retain $1m?

Shan Shan: No, no, it is to pay Wang Pin Ruo’s spokesperson fees.

Feng Teng: Is it worth it to hire an actress to be a spokesperson?

Shan Shan: Yes, it is definitely worth it………………………………..But Wang Pin Ruo has a wish.

Feng Teng: Wish?

Shan Shan: She wishes you can show up at the photo shoot.

Feng Teng: Xue Shan Shan, your expression is very strange.

Shan Shan: Really strange?

Feng Teng: Okay, since we’ve not seen each other for a long time.

Shan Shan: Haha, really? Then, 3pm next Friday. I’ll tell Linda to note it in your diary. Heehee….

Feng Teng: Xue Shan Shan, why are you so happy?

Shan Shan thinks: Why can’t I be happy?

Feng Teng: This chicken soup is not nice. I’ve finished eating.

Shan Shan: I really came here to accompany you to drink chicken soup. Heehee….

Feng Teng shows Shan Shan the text messages he received from Wang Pin Ruo to ask him out to have a meal. Shan Shan confesses to Feng Teng that she used to feel inferior and not good enough for him. Gradually, she realizes that Feng Teng is a big fish who will always attract unwanted attention whether he is married or not so she has learned to deal with this pressure. Feng Teng praises Shan Shan as being  so capable now as to be able to use her love rival to earn money for her. On a roll, Shan Shan makes another shocking confession that makes Feng Teng very happy. No, it’s not about pregnancy, that’s later, probably in the sequel, lol.

Shan Shan: Teng Teng, the truth is I’ve no interest in jewelry. I know you’re afraid if I become too busy, I’ll neglect our relationship. But the more I work, the more I realize I’m not really interested. Does this sound bad, as if I lack ambition? I can’t tell other people this. When it comes to having a career and becoming a powerful woman, I’m not really interested one tiny bit.

Feng Teng: If you can know what you want and have the courage to accept it, that’s admirable.

Shan Shan: I can’t complain if I’m tired because Liu Liu is much more tired than me. Also, complaining won’t do any good. This is something I have to do. I have to make the Xue family lift our heads proudly before the Feng family. It’s a matter of self-respect. After this is over, I don’t want to become a high-powered executive of any company, I also don’t want to become a celebrity, I only want to become Mrs. Feng.

Teng Teng: That’s fine, Mrs. Feng…..This is my good Shan Shan.

Shan Shan monitors Weibo and is not happy that there is not a noticeable increase in people following FS Jewelry. Feng Teng happens to notice Shan Shan’s online nickname “Beat Boss Can Sleep Well” and asks for an explanation. Shan Shan apologizes and changes it immediately, but it’s too late. The wolf picks Shan Shan up and carries her off to punish her, LOL.

A few days later, Shan Shan brags to Feng Teng that she has thought up a catchy story about the origin of FS Jewelry, that it was started to pay off debt to Feng Group. Meanwhile, Feng Teng is only focused on her new online nickname “Big Boss Is Great.”  Shan Shan asks him if he is satisfied with the new nickname. The wolf is pleased so he picks Shan Shan up and carries her off to reward her. The drama does not elaborate how Feng Teng punishes or rewards Shan Shan so we must use our imagination. For those who need some help, read , lol.

Feng Teng and Shan Shan watch Liu Liu’s interview about FS Jewelry. Shan Shan did not want to appear on television, but the camera had captured her as she tried to hide. Shan Shan is not happy at how chubby she appears, and Feng Teng teases her. Then, he questions when Shan Shan will start using the supplementary credit card he gave her.

Shan Shan: I don’t want to swipe your card. Why can’t you personally swipe it? Since we’ve been together, I always only go shopping with Feng Yue. You’ve never gone shopping with me. I protest!!!!

Feng Teng: Okay, buy me a shirt tomorrow……by swiping your card. (Maybe in red to match his red coat?)

On the other end, Li Shu informs Zheng Qi that she is pregnant.

Shan Shan and Liu Liu walk out of a bank and celebrate because they’ve paid off the debt. Feng Teng works in his office and receives a message from Shan Shan letting him know they’ve transferred the last of the money they owed him. He gets up, walks to the windows and looks out, muttering: “Another year has passed.” Yes, it is New Year’s Eve again:)

Shan Shan and Feng Teng meet on the balcony outside his office. Shan Shan did not buy a shirt for Feng Teng because she bought something better, an engagement ring for herself (from FS Jewelry?).

Feng Teng: It’s been hard for you.

Shan Shan: Only a bit, but I’ve done it.

Feng Teng: Our chubby Shan Shan is amazing.

Shan Shan: Feng Teng, will you marry me?

Feng Teng: Xue Shan Shan, are you stealing my thunder again?

Shan Shan: I bought it with your credit card, picking the ring design I like.

Feng Teng: You want to marry but complain that the wedding ceremony will be too tiring. Then let Feng Yue handle it.

Shan Shan: I’ve thought about how our wedding should be. My passport is done. Take me on a trip around the world, all right?

Feng Teng (kneeling): Shan Shan, will you marry me?

Shan Shan: I’ve waited for this day for a long time. I am willing.

Shan Shan’s voice-over: Someone once told me Cinderella can’t step into the palace with everyone’s good wishes. Although Feng Teng is a prince, I’m not Cinderella. I’m only a girl who’s lucky enough to meet the love of her life. True love deserves everyone’s good wishes. Thereafter, the prince and Miss Xue live happily ever after.

♥♥♥ THE END ♥♥♥
