What's Wrong with Secretary Kim

boss purchasing his secretary and fall in love with each other.
both funny and sweet. if you want to binch watch a drama, i can recommend either one of those

Zhang Jing Yi is the FL in both. The chemistry is natural. The relationship had depth. However, BEITD does not have a satisfactory ending.

- Both dramas have CEO falls in love with their assistant
- Both Male leads were cold in the beginning
-In the beginning the female leads hate the male lead
- Male lead chases the female lead
-RomCom
- Office love

1 Has a similar boss/secretary workplace romance
2. ML has been suffering from trauma and the secretary helps him

Secretary Kim is an overall much lighter and more classically comedic drama than Link, but both have a childhood connection/mystery which is key to the storylines. Link is more of a dark comedy, but if you enjoyed one you might enjoy the other.

While male/female roles are reversed from Secretary Kim , Encounter also features a romance between an employee and the top executive of the company. The backdrops of both dramas feature filial piety and the chaos that brings with it which creates drama that that makes for excellent story lines. In both there is secrecy and chaos. Both feature the relationships as central theme of the drama. Both dramas are wonderfully written and have excellent OSTs as well!

An overpowered couple where both are equally powerful. The heroine is not a damsel in distress in either of the series. In addition, the couple has an amazing chemistry that most of us dream of.

1. Both the female leads have humble beginnings who are trying to sustain themselves on their own as well as are providing for their families simultaneously.
2. The leads in both the drama have childhood connections.
3. Workplace romance where the male leads are in a professionally superior position and are still trying to support the female leads both financially and emotionally as much as they can.
4. The sub plots of other coworkers comes off as equally impactful and touching as the main storyline.

Both ML only realize they like FL when she quits her job and try to win her over from then on.

Both ML are CEOs and FL are their employee (in IMLY she is a screenwriter and WWWSK she is, obviosly, a secretary).

cute office romance where the ML is powerful and rich but the FL stands her ground and is strong in her own way

Both have:
- Rich ML who’s the boss
- Mean male lead who will eventually soften up with Female Lead
- FUNNY office co-workers / supporting cast

Different:
- FL in Home Magazine is stranger to ML in the beginning
- FL in Secretary Kim has known Male Lead for years so they have a better foundation

- lovers being forced apart is always going to hurt
- the feelings more intense. Hence, they don’t even need steamy kisses to sell this romance drama.
- tend to be sweet and far more innocent

>In both dramas the male lead is portrayed by Park Seo Joon , in which he is a cold CEO
> Both dramas are romantic and have beautifully developed characters
>Actors have lovely chemistry
> If you enjoy Rom- Com this is definitely a must watch drama
> Has more witty and adult humor and does not rely on slap stick as much
> Definitely a more grown up / adult drama
> Portrays a very wholesome and somewhat realistic relationship

A comfort drama for me that is filled with lovable and memorable characters and a well written story.

In both dramas, its about the boss and the secretary falling in love.

In Love Scout, the FL is the boss and the ML is the secretary.

In WWWSK, its the ML who is the boss and the FL is the secretary.

But totally different plots. But both are enjoyable and will make you happy and smile.
