Reviews on series Protect the Boss (4)

Almost everything is disgusting: the girl-man Vasya; some twisted courtship of two young guys for the main character (well, why don’t I remember the names of the characters of the series??); disgusting play of almost all actors; spoiled, apparently for stretching, the plot ... The series is like a comedy, but the plot is serious about business squabbles. Well, then serious - but big leaders behave worse than clowns. Yes, comedy and seriousness can coexist in the series, but the writers mixed it all up very wrongly. That's exactly what was mixed as it turned out, and not carefully selected and not put properly. Trying to play the main character, the main boss and his son Sasha. There are two angry women trying to drown the boss. Only the boss's secretary is a famous talented actor. He seems to be the only actor in the series and has played his part quite well. The actor, who plays Sasha, apparently no one explained (saving on consultants) how neurotics behave, and he tries to play them as he understands. It's wild and ridiculous. Father Zhenya (the main character's name?) - generally bottom. Both the game and the script. A karatist-shepherd is something completely delusional. Grandma's especially annoying. For some reason, everyone is afraid of her. But all the same they do in their own way, deeply disregarding all her threats. But she still climbs everywhere and scares everyone. Only the stern, hardened businessman seems really afraid of her and fulfills her evil whims to the detriment of himself and his business. His mother persuades his son, a tough and tough businessman, to bend to the nit that wants to destroy him. And he's obedient. It's crazy, it's inappropriate. At first I expected some wisdom from Grandma. Everyone thinks that she makes you do bad things, but the plot will turn and we will understand how smart she was and how good it was that she was listened to. No, I didn't. Diana was made into such a stupid girl - even disgusting. Well, it is not so that the beautiful (not very, but at least in this series the most beautiful) businesswoman was such an idiot that she had no choice on which of the men to hang. Maxim wears his face, as if afraid to splash it. Very unpleasant sight. Apparently, the guy has not met businessmen and this is how he imagines them - dead mannequins. It’s even more ridiculous when he has feelings. A lot of sweetness. The jumps in the plot are very sharp. There was a relationship like this just now, and suddenly, abruptly, completely different. One person powerfully does not love another, does everything to get rid of him, and then suddenly in love explained. It's wildly unnatural, but it's a lot predictable. I'm sorry. I would like ours to make good shows.

I haven't seen it yet. I don't know if I will.

I’m thinking now – has anyone in my life met the notorious triangle, which we are for many years stuffed with screens? I don't. A person, if not Alphonse and not a prostitute, will always choose from two candidates who is closest to him and will never suffer like a Buridan donkey. Or the main characters of many TV series Alphonse and prostitutes? Looks like it. By the way, it's a donkey. It wasn't him. Aristotle made it up. At the same time, no cattle were injured. But we suffer from such series with triangles, squares and other figures.

PPS never understood why it was necessary to buy the film. Can't you find writers who make up their own story? So it's bad? I guess so.

Yes, this is how the hero of the series “Save the boss” Victor Baturin responds to the indignation of his mother – “Well, how much can you watch these series!”
And this phrase defines the purpose of the comedy series “Saving the Boss”: to give viewers the opportunity to relax and laugh.

It doesn't matter to me that this is an adaptation of a Korean series. The main thing is that it was done wonderfully. I like our actors better.

I won't sign much. Other reviewers have already done so.

I just want to point out a few things.

1. What a talented young actor!

Ilya Iosifov, who played the main character - Alexander Baturin, saw in 3 series (2 melodramas, one military drama). Played well, straight. In the same series, Ilya showed all his acting skills. A born comedian! But there are many lyrical moments in the series, in which Ilya turns into a gentle lover. I appreciate the ability of actors to reincarnate and play in different genres of cinema.
Ilya Korobko saw in "Youth" - plays a cute, charming hero. But in this series - how he reincarnated as Maxim Baturin: confident, ironic, a little arrogant. Everything in it: gait, look, manner of speaking - just shout - "I am the best!"
Alena Krieg perfectly played Zhenya Shevchuk. Here is a simple girl living in a rented apartment, driving in public transport, but with character, besides possessing many power techniques.

1. Actors who played the older generation.

Anatolia Kotenev (Victor Baturin) saw in many films and TV series. As a rule, he plays positive heroes, such brutal men. In this series, I think the actor is happy about what a funny role he got. An oligarch with gangster habits. Hot, impulsive, only his mother can stop him. Well played.

But the mother of Viktor Baturin, Sophia Nikolaevna, performed by Marina Nikolaeva - well, right "the head of the Sicilian mafia", before which Viktor himself, and arrogant ladies, Margarita and Olga, and even the younger generation are bowing their heads.
Oleg Akulich, who played Lyapin, I noticed in the TV series “Don’t cry for me, Argentina”, but here he struck me finally – it is impossible to look at his facial expression without a smile. I have not seen all the films with his participation, but as a comic actor good.
I must say that all the actors of the series played well.

I also want to say that the concept of a “youth” series, which includes this one, is very relative. I do not consider myself a young person for a long time, but I watched this series with great pleasure.
And in conclusion, I will say almost in the words of Viktor Baturin.
I’ve worked hard, I’m tired, and now I want to watch movies and TV shows that give a smile and a good mood, just like the series “Save the Boss”!
9 out of 10

I really liked the series. I didn’t watch the Korean version, they say it’s much better, maybe I’ll watch it, but the fact is, I liked this series. I am not a fan of these same type of series, like a girl from the province comes to the big city, falls in love, etc. But for some reason I was hooked on this series.

In addition to the fact that there is a love story, and to the end you ask yourself the question: “Who will Zhenya be with?”, there are still many ridiculous situations in which the main characters fall, there are intrigues, a war for the throne (place of the CEO of the company), etc. I would say there is a lesson to be learned after each episode!
As far as acting is concerned. It's just not a really cool cast. Everything is so clearly played, so clearly selected the main characters.

Sasha (Ilya Iosifov) - yes, he was just created for this role. So play the spoiled son, his outfits, rudzaks: The way he grows up changes. And all this for one thing - Zhenka. If you watch the first and last series, it will be two different characters. He had changed so much that he could not be recognized. This character has undergone the most changes because of Zhenya. There is a lot to write about him, you just need to see him, you better watch the series.
Zhenya (Alena Yakimova) - and Alena for this role, well, just 100% suited, so to play a kind, cheerful, trusting girl, but at the same time a combat "murder machine", which kept her village in fear: What I liked about her was her way of talking and her smile, her smile. And how she makes excuses for something, makes such a funny face, well, then it is even impossible to hold a grudge against her. I loved how the characters changed when they met her. She changes everyone! How she built her boss and he couldn't resist because he liked her and he just couldn't fire her. A simple girl who got into a very big business.

Maxim (Ilya Korobko) - at first I did not like him, I thought he would play a negative character, do some sneaky things, but everything happened wrong. In the beginning, he was a mama's son who does everything she says, but then he changed, became independent, and everything is stupid for her to choose him. He is very different from his brother, Sasha, he is more of an intellectual, a decent person, not much fun started after he met Zhenya. He's reasonable. He wants to do everything right. I started to like him at the end. And he did well. The actor played the role with a bang!

Diana (Anastasia Stezhko) - at first she was a spoiled fifa, but after meeting Zhenya, she also changed, became a more down-to-earth, sweet girl. The truth isn't much whimsical. She never had any friends, her mother never did. But then friends appeared, the same Zhenya, also Vasya (Vasilisa) - a fighting friend #2, after Zhenka. This is the name she got from Vasya. There was always a war between the brothers. But then it stopped because there was another one. Zhenya. What I didn’t like was the actress’s performance, well, there wasn’t much falsehood, and it’s upsetting, but sometimes it wasn’t a bit false. The character in the end, as well as all the characters.
Who else I liked was — Sofia Borisovna Baturina (Marina Nikolaeva) — grandmother of Sasha and Maxim. Mother Victor Baturin (Anatoly Kotenev), father of Sasha and CEO of BAT Group. She is the most important, she decides everything, she is the authority. Zhenya is called “Grandma”, because at the first meeting she thought that Sofia Borisovna was a housekeeper for the Baturins, then after a while Zhenka found out who she really was. Employees of the company still wondered why Zhenya speaks so easily with her, she is almost the most important here, many were afraid of her, and Zhenya simply spoke lightly with her – “Grandma, Grandma...”. And "Grandma" did not admit who she really was. She loved Zhenya very much and she was always on her side. She always taught her son, but he never listened to her. I really liked her words:

Vitya, you're a brake!
There are still a lot of bright characters, but I will not write about them, it is better to look and find the brightest of all for yourself. I wanted to say a little bit more about such a character as Lyapin (Oleg Akulich) - Viktor Baturin's secretary, this is another shot. It is impossible to look at him without a smile. Such a funny expression. And like in an elevator, when Victor beat his son, Sasha, he closed the camera so that no one could see it, that is, he was not closing it, he was like a chair, Zhenya became on him, and covered the camera with paper. That was funny.

All that ends well, the series ended well. I like the phrase “happiness is....” That every man must finish this sentence, but if he cannot, then he is unhappy because he has not yet found his happiness. Zhenya finished that sentence. The question is, can you finish it?

If you watch this series, you will not regret it. This series is worth watching. He looks light. I don't regret watching it. It’s a pity the story just ended, I’m bored with these characters, even very much. But I don’t want them to shoot sequels because it ended very well and it doesn’t have to be spoiled. I'll have time to look again, I'll be sure. My score is 10 out of 10 because I did not find a better series in this genre.

Unfortunately, our cinema rarely manages to make quality films, especially TV series.
Usually, each channel has its own direction in the series, and they are some of the same type, not causing any interest and desire to spend their time watching them. Fortunately, the series “Save the Boss” does not apply to them.
A simple idea turned into an interesting, high-quality, and most importantly with meaning, comedy. There's a smile throughout the show. It looks easy, and at the same time you really rest.
Another big plus of this series is the actors. Young and not very, and most importantly talented, it was very interesting to look at them, they are not “Top”, as they say now, actors.
For example, I did not know the main actors of Ilya Iosifov and Alena Krieg as actors before this series, for me they were a discovery. But more on that later.

What is the film about? I will not retell it, I will only say that this is the story of an unusual, to put it mildly, couple, and even several. At the same time, throughout the series, the viewer is given to understand that the main characters do not fit each other. From different circles, different characters, in general a typical situation? But in the end, all this turns into a wonderful comedy, good jokes, ridiculous, in the good sense of the word, situations. But most importantly, the series gives the viewer the opportunity to think that for him real happiness? Money, friendship, love or something else?
I cannot be silent about the actors, of course Ilya and Alena coped with their role 100%, while there was no falsehood in their game and this is very happy, I hope that they will please us with their new work.

Marina Nikolaeva is a fashionista grandmother, otherwise she simply cannot be called. After all, many people watched foreign films, where old ladies, rich, dressed in couture, etc. Is there one in the series? Only our "grandmother" is much cooler.
Ilya Korobko, Anastasia Stezhko, Oksana Dorokhina, Ksenia Khairova, Anatoly Kotenev and many others coped with their roles, glad that the creators of the series were able to pick up actors according to the capabilities and character of the characters of the series.

And the only thing that is sad is that the idea was taken from the Koreans, always wondered why our writers can not come up with something original, their own, do we not have such talents as in the West or in the same Korea?
Come on, let's not talk about "bad." The series “Save the Boss” should be watched by people who have everything in order with a sense of humor, who just want to relax and enjoy a really high-quality series.
