light and enjoyable

There was nothing profound about this show and that is exactly why I liked it.

I went into this expecting it to be a light-hearted rom-com and I wanted something that I could mindlessly enjoy and have a few laughs without having to have any deep mental investment. That's exactly what I got.

Nonetheless. it had at times some nice backstory development and altho 1 dimensional, the characters were enjoyable. I especially like the 2 lead actors, as I watched a few of their other shows and they were enjoyable in a diff way here. There were some redundant things,like, much of the MC's brother's role was useless to the show and would've made no difference to the story if he was removed altogether (not the fault of the actor).

I think if people expect too much from this show they will be disappointed, but if they want something light to enjoy then they will get it with extra.

Not Horrible but this plot has been done better

Honestly I was not impressed by this drama. Having previously watched Business Proposal, I felt that BP was very similar to Secretary Kim but better done. The Male Lead is a good actor but his character was rather dull. The chemistry between the male and female lead was OK but nothing worth mentioning. I felt the chemistry between the side characters was better, and the storyline also better than the main storyline. The ending, like a lot of K-Dramas, felt overly long and had me wishing it would end. It wasn't a horrible show but there are so many better ones that I don't know if I'd recommend this one.

Pretty Good Show.

I think this show was good and the acting/cast was great. The plot was good as I didn't feel like I was rushing to finish it, and I liked how cringe/romantic they went about it. The reason it's not a ten out of ten was because they did the weird plot thing where they someone knew each other when they were kids, it's kinda weird and wayyy overdone. I would totally recommend that if you're reading this, you should watch this drama if you haven't done this yet.

One of the OG's

One of my favorite kdramas. First off, can Park Min Young do wrong??

This drama is such a good watch. No boring episodes. Every character had a perfect role to play! The character development for the ML was perfect. The FL and ML had such great chemistry.

A well executed office romance drama.

I could go on but I don't want to give out any spoilers.

your classic ceo x employee office romance

i went into this show because of park seojun and i have to say, from the first episode i did not have high hopes. the acting was trashy (thats the best word i can come up with) and at times a little cringe. it did not feel genuine at all and the characters seemed very surface level. there are typical kdrama characters like the narcissistic ceo who has no concept of being poor, his employee who lives in a one bedroom apartment with no savings, a nosy coworker, etc. very predictable overall.
this drama had many tropes: boss x employee, love triangle, enemies to lovers, the childhood friend soulmate trope... just a lot of things going on with no real plotline. i understand that they gave the main characters a very dark trauma from their past that acts as the "mystery" in this show but that's all it was to me—some random traumatizing past that they had to live with so they don't seem like they have a normal life (psst kdrama directors: theres nothing wrong with characters who have had a normal past btw... especially if the horrible past is smt so random that makes no sense)

i didn't like how the characters were always thinking out loud (it's like a kdrama ick of mine) or how this seemed like it was based off a poorly written wattpad story that you know exactly how it's going to end. the last few episodes i watched in 2x speed because they had already gotten together, the mystery was resolved... what else is there? there were enjoyable scenes; i shed some tears so it was not a complete waste of time.

accidentally creating a love triangle with the boss! and other things too

"My Thoughts: I’d rate it an 8/10! While I didn’t love every part—some jokes felt cringey and the comedy was overdone at times—I still really liked it overall. The plot kept me hooked, and since it was one of my first dramas, it holds a special place for me. Despite its flaws, I’d definitely recommend giving it a watch, especially for newcomers to the genre. The charm and nostalgia outweigh the weaker moments!"

based on a webtoon and novel

This Kdrama is based off a webtoon(2016) that is based off novel(2013) with the same names while in 16 episodes they did mange to adapt much of the webtoon. Like most Kdramas I feel hollow when the show ends and find myself re watching whole episodes and or scenes to see the characters again while the characters are cliche its how you use the cliches. I hope that the production company decide to make a attempt at a 2nd season to wrap up the story that we got from the novel and webtoon while i dont know what the novel ending was i know that the ending of the webtoon is a little different that being said the ending was good but i was looking for more as we only saw half of the main female leads wish come true. Ramblings aside this Kdrama is very good and most of my negative feelings comes from it is only a single season of 16 episode show that makes me want to read the novel and the webtoon to see the true ending who knows maybe that is the point.

Long rambling short i greatly enjoyed this Kdrama when ever the female lead smile even under the shadow of something dark and its because of that this show gets high marks from me.

A hugely popular series

A hugely popular series, loved by many for the couple’s chemistry and the funny moments. I Think this is a Korean adaptation of the movie "Two Weeks Notice" with Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant. The couple in this series is quite amusing, and the chemistry between them is perfect—which is the main ingredient for this genre. But towards the end, as it seemed to me, everything started to slide into kitsch: too much marshmallow and chocolate cream on bread—it just felt over the top.

What's Wrong with Secretary Kim: 4/1/2023 ~ 4/4/2023

I usually can finish a drama in about two days but I was pretty busy during this time so it took me a little longer but I still finished it quickly. The story itself was really cute and I really enjoyed watching it, the only thing I didn’t like and though I know it’s a big plot point is the whole lost childhood friend thing. This is simply because of the way it was done, while it made sense it sorta felt like it as tryna have the same effect as others dramas without being to similar. Mainly what I’m saying is that it could have been done another way. Either way I still really enjoyed this show especially when the Ml got jealous because that was simply hilarious to watch,

A Fun and Lovely Show!

I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish! The leads have great chemistry and the supporting cast has many funny and absurd moments. The plot, romance, and jokes were mostly quite cliché, but that is what made me love it so much! It is certainly a show that will make you smile. The show is part office comedy, part romance, and part uncovering a mystery. I had no choice but to binge the entire show within days. If you are on the fence of watching the show, and you enjoy cheesier shows, I highly suggest watching!!! (side note: Park Min Young is seriously so gorgeous, you can't help but to love her character).

It's a good show i just couldn't get past the FL

I'll keep this short i stopped on Episode 6 infact i stopped at the episode 6 preview at the end of episode 5

I like the show honestly and the ML i like him very
much the cast acting was very top tier

Unfortunately i just can't get the past FL i honestly think she's very pretty but as for acting romance comedy she's very questionable I've tried to watch her dramas but I never end up finishing them

I'd like to see her in something none romance or comedy i think she'd do well that side

I'm just adding words now because of this 500 words requirement.. It just reminded me why I almost never do reviews
