Under the Boss Candy Shorts: What's Free and What It Costs

Under the Boss Candy Shorts is a five-episode office drama set in London, and Episode 1 plays on Candy right now with no sign-up. Episode 2 needs only a free account. If the story hooks you, the last three episodes cost 12 tokens each, 36 in all.

That is the short version. Below you'll find what the series is about, what Episode 1 looks like, whether the tokens are worth spending and why the copy on Candy is the only one worth your time. It is among the most searched Candy Shorts titles in our search data, and the premise explains why.

What is the Under the Boss story about?

Candy's synopsis fits in one sentence. A shy new temp starts at the boss's London office, the boss quickly becomes obsessed, and his jealous blonde PA will do anything to destroy their forbidden fling.

That gives you three corners of a workplace triangle and a reason for each to push. The temp is new and shy. The boss, in Candy's own word, becomes obsessed. The PA is jealous and works close enough to the boss to cause real damage. Candy tags the series taboo, which suits a fling that has to stay hidden in an open-plan, glass-walled office.

Candy doesn't publish plots for the individual episodes, so we won't guess where the five of them go. What the premise promises is easy to judge: secrecy, rivalry and very little privacy. Everyone in the series is an adult, and the pull of the Under the Boss drama is the tension between them rather than anything we'd need to spell out.

The cast list on Candy names Harriet Seagrave, a Candy AI character, and you can read more on Harriet Seagrave's character page. The synopsis doesn't name any roles, so we can't tell you which one is hers.

Is Under the Boss legit, and where do you watch it?

Yes, with one condition: Candy is the only legitimate place to watch it. Under the Boss is listed in Candy's catalog as a five-episode series with subtitles in six languages. Candy is operated by EverAI Limited, a Malta company, and that is the name that appears on your card statement. As far as we can verify, there is no official home for it anywhere else.

We checked Candy's own listing for every detail on this page: five episodes, token costs of 0, 0, 12, 12 and 12, and six subtitle languages. The free episodes behave the way Candy says they do, which is the first test of whether a series is what it claims to be.

It is also an AI video series. The footage is AI-generated, and the cast entry reads Candy AI character. That is how every Candy Short is made, so nothing here is a filmed production with a real actor on set.

To watch it officially, open the series on Candy and press play on Episode 1. There is no login step. Our how to watch Candy Shorts guide covers the steps in order, from the first play to the free account that unlocks Episode 2.

Is Under the Boss Candy Shorts free, and what does Episode 3 cost?

Part of it is free, and the free part is enough to judge the series. Episode 1 plays with no sign-up. Episode 2 is free once you create a free account. Episode 3 costs 12 tokens, and Episodes 4 and 5 cost 12 tokens each, so finishing the series takes 36 tokens in total.

The episode list on this page shows each price as Candy lists it, and our guide to what is free on Candy Shorts covers the rules across the whole catalog.

What do the free episodes get you?

Treat Episodes 1 and 2 as the audition. Episode 1 asks nothing from you, so you can judge the look and the setup in a few minutes. Episode 2 needs a free account, and once you have one you can see the 12-token price on Episode 3 before you decide anything. Candy doesn't publish runtimes, so we can't say how long each episode runs.

Is Under the Boss worth 36 tokens?

That depends on how you feel after Episode 2. Two of the five episodes cost you nothing, so you can find out whether you care how this triangle ends before you spend a single token. If you do, 36 tokens for the remaining three is a modest price for a story that is already set up.

For scale, Premium on Candy includes 100 tokens a month, and the monthly plan is $9.99 for the first month and $13.99 after that. The Candy Shorts price breakdown lays out the other plans. Our advice is to start with the free episodes and let the story decide.

What does Episode 1 look like?

Polished. Episode 1 is framed for phones in portrait, and the three frames we checked show a glass-walled open-plan office with a city skyline fading to blue behind it. Warm ceiling lights sit against cool dusk light, and the grade is glossy and cinematic, with a shallow depth of field that keeps the background desks soft.

One frame is shot from desk height, with a hand holding a pen over a signed page in the foreground, so you see the office the way someone sitting behind that desk would. Another is set in a marble-and-brass washroom, lit by a glowing backlit mirror. The palette stays consistent from shot to shot: cream, tan, navy and warm gold.

Production polish is where the series earns its place. The sets look like real, expensive offices, the lighting is deliberate, and nothing in the frames breaks the illusion. Candy also offers subtitles in six languages, which helps if you watch with the sound off.

Who will enjoy Under the Boss?

This one suits anyone who likes office tension: a forbidden fling, a jealous rival and a setting where privacy is thin. The vibe is pursuit and jealousy, with the power gap between boss and temp doing much of the work. The taboo tag is Candy's own, and it fits.

If you want to compare before you commit, Under the Chief moves a similar workplace triangle into a hospital, with the chief of surgery and a jealous head nurse. Couples Therapy With Margot Vey swaps the office for a therapist who inserts herself into a couple's life, and YES MA'AM puts the power gap on a military base. For something with less hierarchy, Lodge 69 Was Double Booked shares a mountain cabin between two couples.

Is there a full or leaked version of Under the Boss?

If you're hunting for full episodes outside Candy, the honest answer is short: there isn't one worth finding. Candy is the only legit source. Under the Boss leaked clips, full-episode uploads on video sites and posts promising a free copy are partial re-uploads at best and fakes or scams at worst. They won't give you the real episodes, and the scam versions want your login or card details.

Looking for the full series for free? It only lives on Candy, and the free part of it is two episodes. The 36 tokens after that buy you the real ending rather than a clip cut off halfway.

The legal free route is already generous: Episode 1 with no sign-up and Episode 2 with a free account, then 12 tokens an episode if you want the ending. Start with Episode 1 on Candy and decide from there.
