Same boss from hell liking/tormenting his pretty secretary, but with a time loop twist. Secretary Bai Wants to Resign Everyday is a short web drama so it is lighter in tone than Secretary Kim, but the feels are the same.
If you enjoy office rom-coms, this one is such a treat. The chemistry between the leads is instant, and the playful teasing keeps you smiling through every awkward, flirty moment. You’ll find yourself laughing at the hilarious misunderstandings while also rooting for them as their relationship slowly grows. The side characters aren’t just filler—they add their own charm and humor, making the whole office feel alive. It’s the kind of show that pulls you in, makes you care about every little interaction, and keeps you hooked until the very last episode. Both are office romcom
Both Refresh Man and What's Wrong With Secretary Kim have few similarities, such as leads knowing each other when they were younger, the CEO/ employee relationship, the impossible to please boss, rich man, poor woman trope. The reason I do recommend Refresh Man if you liked What's Wrong with Secretary Kim is they both are written well despite their overuse of certain tropes and cliches.
KSS had a supernatural storyline WWSK does not and plot wise I preferred KSS. I think there is a lot of similarity in the relationship between the main leads and their past.
- FL works for the ML, in WWSK she is his secretary in KSS she is his subordinate and he is her mentor.
- FL and ML knew each other when they were younger and shared a tragedy, in KSS the leads actually knew each other, they grew up together for a bit and were really close, in WWSK they knew each other for like a day.
- FL promises the ML that they will meet again after they part for years (in WWSK she says she will marry him).
- ML finds FL at his workplace were she is his subordinate and he basically makes her life hell with all the work he gives her whilst she does not recognise that he was her childhood friend.
- Takes them several years working together for them to actually develop romantic feelings for each (though in KSS the ML says that he always liked her and in WWKS it is hinted that the ML may have always liked her) other and get together.
