"Beauty And The Boss" Thoughts [3]

I've been putting this post off since this week was a bit uneventful for Matt and Me. Well, just my opinion ๐Ÿ˜…. I don't know what I was expecting... we all knew Me and Rex were gonna date first. Maybe I'm just not satisfied with how things kinda ended between Matt and Me. 

I loved their reaction at the start of ep11. And then at the end of the episode, Matt gives the most cliche reason to why he's attracted to her smell ๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’. But I think he still has feelings for her. Like in ep12, where he found out that she cut her finger and put ointment on it, his voice was so freakin' soft, I can't. He also bought her the mattress... it's such a personal gift. I wonder why he still hasn't returned it yet in ep15 lol. Extra product placement?? ๐Ÿ˜‚ He was also all up in her business when he saw Me's stepson, Hin Hin, in her home. Maybe he's looking out for Rex or maybe he's jealous ๐Ÿคท. 

Kiki told Matt that he should pursue Me. I understand why he doesn't. He said many times that he's not the type to marry so maybe he thinks Me would like to settle down and he can't give that to her. He seems like an okay partner judging from the way he treats Cheung Yuet and Shum Wei and even Me. Maybe Shum Wei wasn't the one. Cheung Yuet did bring up the idea that he might want to marry if the woman were Me, but at that time he didn't realize his feelings for her so he quickly shot down the idea.

I also wanted to talk about Me's feelings for Matt. Sorry for only talking about their relationship. It's just that I feel that Matt's only purpose in this drama is to be Me's mentor and romantic interest ๐Ÿ™Š๐Ÿ˜…. This is a drama centered around women so I get why Matt doesn't really do much. So initially, Me wasn't sure about her feelings for Matt. In ep14, she concluded that she was in love with his mattress and not him. Poor Matt ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. But Rex really deserves that lovin'. He's so good to her. So I don't know. How will Me rediscover her feelings for Matt? Only 15 more episodes. I actually don't mind seeing more scenes of Matt crushing on Me, but I also really want to see them in a relationship already.

Wishing everyone good health and happiness in the New Year!! ๐ŸŽ‰

"Beauty And The Boss" Thoughts [2]

Thoughts on episodes 6-10. I'm gonna focus on Matt, Me, Rex, and Cheung Yuet. There will be spoilers ⚠๐Ÿ˜Ž.

Let's talk about Matt and Cheung Yuet first. I totally didn't expect them to be a pair for so many episodes. I thought she was just a kiss in episode 4 and then stay as an ex, but nope we get more kisses ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚. Surprisingly, I found the two kinda sweet together. She's annoying and rash, but I found her cute at times with her clueless expressions. I don't know why ๐Ÿ™ˆ, maybe that's what happens when you put any woman next to the charming Matt. I wonder if it's the end for the two... I'm gonna miss them lol. Can I also mention that the actress who plays Cheung Yuet, Virginia Lau, was born in 1990. Wow, that's a 19 years difference. Oh boy ๐Ÿ™Š๐Ÿ™Š๐Ÿ™Š. Matt is 38. I think it would've been more realistic to say he's in his early 40s.

Me and Rex. Gonna save Matt and Me for last 'cause there's so much to say. Rex is a good guy and I love to see him head over heels for Me. In ep9, when Matt couldn't walk and Rex's first response was to carry him on his back, that left a great impression for me. In a recent myTV SUPER interview with Matthew Ho and Ali, Ali said Rex is the perfect guy and Me would choose to date him first over Matt. Makes total sense and I look forward to it. So far in the drama, she does not have romantic feelings for him.

So for Matt and Me, where do I begin?? ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜† Ok, let me just say it, I can't believe Matt was the first to have feelings. I get it, but still a bit surprised. I'm excited to see how he deals with his feelings. It should be entertaining. I want to make a list of things I want to point out or keep for reference.

  • In ep2, Pang Pang mentioned that Matt fired an assistant because she had a crush on him. Pang Pang is always spreading rumors so we don't know if this is true. If true, what will Matt do now that he has a crush on his assistant. ๐Ÿ˜›
  • Matt was there when Me was going through her heartbreak. He didn't provide much comfort, but his divorce made her realize it was time to move on.
  • Matt loves Me's cooking especially the soups and bamboo cane water. His reaction when Cheung Yuet threw out the bamboo cane water hahaha!!
  • Matt was bothered by the idea that Me wanted to get cosmetic surgery (breast implants). Sir, she's just your assistant, why do you even care what she does to her body??? ๐Ÿ™ˆ
  • Me likes to sneak into Matt's home. We first see this in ep7, where she couldn't fall asleep and snuck into his home, made a smoothie, took a bubble bath, and slept. In ep8, after getting drunk, she stripped, rummaged through his fridge, and ran to his bedroom... not out the front door, but to his bedroom. Don't know what that's about ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜. In ep10, she again couldn't fall asleep so slept in his bed. That part when Matt sat at the foot of the bed and watched as she slept. With the end theme playing. Oh ma gah! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ Can't wait to see what happens after she wakes up.
  • In ep9, Me told Matt that someone (Rex) likes her, but she doesn't have feelings for him. Matt said you just need to look into the person's eyes and the feels will naturally flow out. Me then proceeded to look into Matt's eyes as if searching for something. Girl, why? ๐Ÿ˜… She's freakin' cute.
  • Matt legit thinks that Me is 26 years old. In ep10, Matt finished interviewing applicants to be his new assistant and he made a comment on how the youngest was 33. I can't imagine how he'll react when he learns the truth. Is it that part in the trailer where he sees Me's stepson call her mommy? 
  • After that one night Me got so drunk, Matt often reminds her to be more careful. In ep10, Matt received a video of Me in the club dancing and then falling. He then rushed to check on her.
  • Matt and Me both like to watch zombie movies. I don't know if this will mean anything. Me did mention once that she couldn't fall asleep and the movie Train to Busan kept looping in her mind.
  • Matt thinks that Me's scent smells familiar. Is it the body wash? Do they use the same brand or has she been bathing in his home more times than we know. Or is the scent something else? It seems significant 'cause it always stopped him in his tracks. Please let us know next week ๐Ÿ™.
  • Lastly, one thing that really stuck with me so far. In ep10, Matt told Cheung Yuet, "ไธ€ๆฎตๅฅฝ็š„ๆ„›ๆƒ…,ไฝ ๆœƒ้€š้Ž้‚ฃ็”ทไบบ่€Œ็œ‹ๆธ…ๆฅš้€™ๅ€‹ไธ–็•Œ。ไธ€ๆฎตๆ‡ท็š„ๆ„›ๆƒ…,ไฝ ๆœƒๅ› ็‚บไธ€ๅ€‹็”ทไบบ่€Œๆ”พๆฃ„ๆ•ดๅ€‹ไธ–็•Œ。(In a good relationship, you will see the world clearly because of the man. In a bad relationship, you will give up the entire world because of a man.)" Sorry, for the crappy translation ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™‡. I think this fits Matt and Me perfectly. Me was content as an assistant, but Matt saw her potential and continuously pushes her to improve.

That's what I have for now. Will add more as I watch. Based on filming reports, they should end up together, but I feel like there's still so much we don't know.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas!! ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ…๐ŸŽ‰

"Beauty And The Boss" - Moses' Love Confession



Comments:
I noticed that myTV SUPER and TVB Anywhere don't like to show new footage of Mo & Ali in Beauty. Why?! I need spoilers lol. I have things to say about their relationship in the drama, but want to save it for my next "Thoughts" post. In case I don't post anything tomorrow... Merry Christmas!!

"You Are Your Own Legend" Interview



Comments:
I've been a fan for a long time so know most of this already, but the parts about working with producers and production team and the filming process is new to me. There needs to be more interviews like this. I always wanted to see Mo work with Chik again and now there's Joe as well.

Mo said his goal in Beauty is to make us smile/laugh. So far the drama is fun to watch and I have to say Mo kinda succeeded. Like he said, he was funny when there was space for it. But I like the scenes where he's serious hehehe. He also shared that his character intially didn't believe in love, but after seeing others happy, he had the desire to experience it. Oh man, I can't wait to see Mattๅฐ‘ develop feelings for ้˜ฟMe!!

"Beauty And The Boss" Thoughts [1]

After so many years, I'm still a horrible writer ๐Ÿ˜…. I just can't seem to put my thoughts into words properly. So here goes my rambling.

I watched episodes 1-5 and it's quite enjoyable. It's one of those dramas that follows the everyday life of the characters. In the end, we hope to see that they each find their own happiness. You can just sit back and enjoy it without thinking too much.

Now let's talk about Mo. He's my all time favorite entertainer, but I need to be honest. Man does he need to tone down the high pitch speaking ๐Ÿ˜‚. I know it's his own comedic style - producer Joe Chan (My Ages Apart and Death by Zero) calls it Moๅผๅนฝ้ป˜ (Mo style humor) - but I think it's a bit too much, especially in the first episode. Maybe he's trying to emphasize how annoying of a boss he is... well it worked ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ™Š.

Can I say that Mo, Edwin, and Hatou invented English?? I just love it, especially Edwin's. I want to mention this one part where Mo said the word shit so many times. Will they be able to air that on TV? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคท

I like all the pairings so far. Some of the main ones:
  • Mo & Ali (Mattๅฐ‘ & ้˜ฟMe): What more do I need to say? My dramaland OTP ๐Ÿ’•!! As expected, they have such great chemistry. During the costume fitting, they mentioned that Mo is the boss, but Ali will act like she's his boss. ้˜ฟMe is the only one who dares talk back and order him around. It's cute to see Mattๅฐ‘ actually listen to her. Mo said his character is mean, but I think he's an actual softy. Mo also mentioned that the producer and writers made their relationship different from their past dramas. So far, I don't see it, but look forward to what's to come. Lastly, I wonder if Mattๅฐ‘ also thinks ้˜ฟMe is 26 years old. It's silly, but Ali definitely still has the looks to pull it off.
  • Mo, Raymond, Edwin & Hatou (Mattๅฐ‘, ๅŸบ, ๅ”ไป & Kiki): They've been friends for a long time and partners in their PR firm for 8 years. I want to see more of their group interaction because so far I can only feel that ๅŸบ & ๅ”ไป are close - the way the two bicker.
  • Ali & Hatou (้˜ฟMe & Kiki): Love their friendship! They've been friends since school age. Since they've been best friends for so long, I wonder why Kiki didn't introduce ้˜ฟMe to her PR gang earlier. I mean if it were in real life, you would think that they've heard of each other. Ok, if I want it to make sense, then I'm gonna guess that it's because ้˜ฟMe was too busy taking care of her husband and stepson for the past 10 years so Kiki never had the chance to introduce them.

There's also a lot I want to say about the music, colors, camera shots, sets, locations, and scenery, but I'm no expert so let me stop here lol. Everything just looks and sounds so beautiful ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜š.

That's it for now. I hope I can continue writing these posts. It's gonna be a challenge ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ.

When was this? There was no news coverage. I'm so confused.
According to their official Facebook, it should be a while back 'cause the set has been up since mid-November and they recently closed it due to the spike in Coronavirus cases.

I included both versions of the live stream because you get to see different angles. Mo is just too silly getting scolded by Tsangๅง for holding the star incorrectly. It's so Mo to do that lol.
I wonder how strict his character is. It can't be that bad right since this is a romantic comedy.
So excited for Monday, but it's also the start of a new work week... :P

My dramaland OTP!!! This is their fourth drama together and third time as a couple and I'm still not tired of it lol. I think some viewers feel differently, but there's still so much they can do together. I kinda want to see them in a period drama (ancient or ๆฐ‘ๅˆ). Why not both? :P
Back to this drama, I can't wait to see more teasers. Also want to know a bit more about the story, but also want to be surprised.

OMG!!!!!! After watching the new trailers, I need this to be out already!!

There are so many updates today. I didn't get a chance to watch the press conference and Tiger's Talk interview yet.
It's crazy seeing Mo and Michael Wong in an interview together. I think they did a few movies together. The one Mo mentioned, Miles Apart 《้‡Œๆƒ…》, is on YouTube if you're interested.
