This boss and employee trope is another super popular romantic trope that always manages to make me weak in the knees. 

There’s something so magical about a couple where they work together and one party is the other’s boss.

In this post, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite boss and employee Chinese dramas that are simply amazing to watch. 

1. My Girlfriend Is An Alien

Chai Xiao Qi, an alien with quirky superpowers, lands on Earth and meets the overbearing boss Fang Leng, who suffers from a unique form of amnesia. 

Their cross-star love story starts in the most funny way and soon, romance blooms between them even as they try to find their best balance.

2. Lucky’s First Love

This drama shows the ups and downs of first love and workplace romances through the lens of three couples. 

The main leads are Xing Yun, an independent young woman, and Xia Ke, her determined and headstrong boss. 

Their bickering gradually transformed into a sweet romance and I couldn’t help but ship them from the very beginning.

The two end up becoming a contract couple for a year, and this leads to him finally reciprocating her feelings.

4. Sweet Dreams

7. Capture Lover

Ding Jun Jie, the deputy general manager of a cosmetics company, and Ying Jia Ming, the son of the chairman, initially have a tit-for-tat relationship. 

But, as they grew to know each other, their dynamic shifted and they fell in love – we don’t get a lot of Chinese BL dramas, so this boss and employee Cdrama was all the more sweeter.
