What happens in Under the Boss
A shy, curvy new temp joins a London office and the boss is soon obsessed with her, while his jealous blonde assistant will do whatever it takes to wreck their secret affair.
An office triangle
This series adds a rival to the familiar boss-and-employee setup. The new temp is the object of attention, the boss is the one losing his head, and the personal assistant becomes the antagonist with every reason to expose them. That third character gives it a plot beyond the affair itself, with sabotage and jealousy driving the episodes.
It is tagged Taboo, here pointing to the workplace power imbalance rather than family. The London setting and the cast are invented by candy.ai, and everyone is an adult.
Free episodes and the paid part
Episodes 1 and 2 cost nothing, covering the temp’s arrival and the boss’s growing fixation. The rivalry with the assistant plays out across 3 paid episodes at 12 tokens each, 36 tokens in total.
For viewers who
Like workplace drama with a love triangle and a villain. It is one of the few series where the conflict is between two women competing over a man, rather than a man choosing between two loyalties. If you want office power games without the rivalry, other boss-themed series keep it to two people.
The British setting is a small but noticeable difference from the mostly American backdrops in the catalogue.
Who is who in Under the Boss
A boss, a shy new temp and his jealous personal assistant are the cast, at a London office. The boss becomes obsessed with the temp; his assistant will do anything to break up their affair. The office hierarchy is the battleground, and the assistant is the antagonist rather than a rival in love alone. The London setting makes it one of the few series placed outside the United States. Everyone is an adult.
Harriet Seagrave is the character candy.ai pairs with this series, and the same profile appears in Every Wife on Candy Lane, Mum Got Sick On Our Holiday and Under the Chief. Following one character through several series is an easy way to find stories with a related tone.
Office power with a rival
The workplace triangle has a near twin in the catalogue: Under the Chief moves the same structure to a hospital, with a chief of surgery and a jealous head nurse. Both give the heroine a curvier, less polished look than most of the catalogue.
For office power without a rival, YES, DIRECTOR and Her Stepmom Is the Boss put a woman in charge, while My Billionaire Boss keeps a male boss and adds a reversal that hands the intern the upper hand. Each opens free, so the office shelf is cheap to explore.
Before you start Under the Boss
The rival assistant is introduced early and drives the paid episodes, so the free part is mostly the fixation forming. candy.ai offers Under the Boss with subtitles in six languages. Finishing costs 36 tokens.
