So much fun!!!
I loved this show! It was so cute and fun, but also had some moments that made me cry. The lead characters were amazing and really stole the show for me. Their chemistry was great and they handled the serious and goofy moments well. I was genuinely shocked by what had happened to the characters when they were younger and how their families handled it. The side characters were really hit our miss for me so that did take away a bit. Also the last episode was kind of pointless, nothing really happened since the plot had already been cleard up.Was this review helpful to you?

I watched this series after the hype so all the episodes are out. Since genre is rom-com, so why not? End up binge watched the entire drama and I love the cast and the story line. It is not purely just romance, I like the little twist at the end where they showcase the trauma that the male lead went through. The young actor, Baek Gang Yoo, really stands out to me as a child actor. Set aside that he is a handsome kid, his acting skill is really good and I remember him acting in different dramas as well.
Apart from the lead actors, Chan Sung (from 2PM) acting as the stingy employee really shocked me. This is probably because I'm used to the Chan Sung on stage and not the actor side and he is really good! As for Tae Hwan who acted as the male lead's brother, I prefer his acting in W- Two Worlds instead.

Finally
After reading so many of the reviews about this series writing my review seems rather tame. So people gave terrible reviews because they consider it a drama. Indeed the drama in this series was somewhat weak but for me I fully looked at this as being one of the best Korean "Rom/Coms" to date. Yeah they added a little drama but nothing overpowering the true romance and comedy this series was trying to provide. I'm not that familiar with Korean society in general but lately I have been noticing the subject about mental illness or mental trauma. It seems that it's a taboo topic and people would rather lie or cover up. I'm sure if that reflects real Korean society but my Korean friends don't refrute the notion or concept. Irregardless it was nice that the writer's kept the story simple but nice, still provide ups and downs but mostly good emotional ups and not too many downs. I think the back story was just enough and for once the writer's seemed to actually provide the ML's full nice completion of their love but they also provided something for each of the secondary couples in the story. There may be more true "Rom/Coms" out there like this but really liked the fact that the writer's gave worthy ending by devoting the last 5 episodes to just truly the couples, romance and comedy. All of the characters had their moments and this was by far one of the most refreshing series I have watched in awhile. Kudos to the whole cast and the FL and ML had amazing chemistry.Was this review helpful to you?
Heart Flutttering Boss Secretary Romanseuu
What's Wrong With Secretary Kim must've been the best Korean Rom - Com I've watched so far. It literally has the perfect balance between romance, humor, and emotional scenes. tvN rarely disappoints me and you can really be proofed by this drama right here. It has a relatable, wonderful and fluttering plot. The characters will make u definitely miss them once the show ended. It really does makes your heart and brain think of them and what I mean by think is imagine. You will really not regret watching this warm-hearted drama.Some parts in the show can be disappointing, it does obviously ends in a happy ending, but maybe they could/ve evaluate the ending a bit more by giving more happy scenes. The plotline can maybe be a bit not so known. If you are an expert at romcoms you could definitely see how the story is going to continue. Nevertheless, it will still make you enjoy this drama.

This is an oldie but a goodie
This is an oldie but a goodie, obviously it’s not that old, but it’s not very recent. I’ve watched this show so many times because of how good it is. There are many memorable scenes from the show, a lot of them are also really funny. There are some scenes that make you want to skip badly, which I skipped a lot. Sometimes I wanted to slap Young Joon so much because of how into himself he was. But his body made up for it, that man is built to a T it is YES. I feel like the plot did become boring in the middle but the scenes were really fun to watch. A lot of people really don’t like this show I can’t tell why, I mean yes, the plot goes boring sometimes but the scenes from their memory really hit hard. I cried during this show that’s how sad it was. Mi-so really never popped to me AND NOTHING WAS EVER WRONG WITH HER. The only thing she was lucky about was her being under that beautiful man, I’m jealous. I feel like now watching is back, this show really doesn’t match up with the newer shows, but this is still a really good watch. I remember watching this when it first came out and it was really popular, After watching it back, nothing was wrong with Mi-so and she and Young Joon are both great characters, there many hot men in that show as well woooo.Was this review helpful to you?

Another show low rated here that is really good!
Here is another show on here that is low rated yet on VIKI it is a 9.7/10! 🙄 Not sure why people rate it low because this was one of the best shows around! I have watched it twice now and the story gets better each time!The story line was really good! The main actor has something traumatic happen in his youth but the brother feels guilt (for leaving him behind) and takes it on himself that it was him that it happened to while the other brother suffers in silence and bears the scars to keep his family together. The main actress also experienced the same trauma yet forgets it.
You will have to watch it! The story is really good and well put together. The acting was perfect. It is heartwarming and perfectly told. OST is really good to! I have almost 400 songs from these dramas downloaded and this is one I listen to over and over again!
Don’t trust the ratings and go watch it your self! It is a great show!

I’m... speechless.This drama is so amazing, I can’t even use words to describe it!
I would give it an infinity out of 10 if I could!
I couldn’t put down my iPad for the whole 3 days that I was binge-watching this!
This is my second kdrama that I’ve watched and I just want to make a few main points on why this drama is actually amazing and why you should most definitely watch it!
1) This drama has an incredible storyline, especially when things that you don’t expect start happening. The storyline flows incredibly well, and even if it switches to another scene, it is somehow related to the previous scene, which I love. Now, I won’t say what, but there are tons of scenes like that in this drama, which really make me happy because I love it when something unexpectedly good happens! :)
2) The scenes are filmed with extraordinary actors and actresses and the quality of this drama as a whole is extraordinary. I can’t describe how amazingly well this drama is filmed as a whole. The scenes work well together and the cohesiveness of the entire cast is amazing. I think that because the main characters have such a high level of chemistry between them, it makes the drama seem so realistic, instead of feeling like it is fake. I really congratulate all the cast and the crew on this!
3) There’s nothing better than a romcom to watch. This has amazing romantic scenes but also has hilarious scenes, which is a great combination. I’m so impressed with this combination! No matter what happens in the drama, there is always romance and comedy intertwined among each other.
4) The Perfect Secretaries team is amazing. They are the team of subbers for English which make this drama so enjoyable. Because I’m not Korean, the subtitles have helped me so much. I’ve learnt some Korean, which makes me proud that I can learn something new while having fun watching a drama! Thank you Perfect Secretaries!
5) The editing of this is outstanding. This drama doesn’t feel like it’s been over edited, but it feels natural to watch. Some dramas can seem under edited and some dramas feel like they’ve been over edited, which makes me enjoy it less, but the editing team for ‘What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim’ is an amazing team and I’d just like to thank them for that!
6) The selection of characters and cast are amazing. The cast have really adapted to the characters of the drama, which I think is an excellent things to have in a drama. There’s no doubt that Park Min-Young fits the role of Secretary Kim and there’s also no doubt that Park Seo-Joon fits the role of Vice Chairman. All of the other characters like Section Chief Bong, Secretary Seol, President Park, etc. were amazing in the drama as well! All the characters have such amazing personality traits, which the actors and actresses took on amazingly well!
7) The OST is legendary! I especially love the songs which fit the moments and I love the theme song a lot! Especially when it’s put with the video! Every song produced for this is amazing and I’m really happy to see that the crew reached out to different singers and groups for a different vibe.
Overall, this drama is incredibly well made and I’d even like to see another season with the same cast. I know it’s unlikely for it to happen but I’d really like it if there were another season, because of the amazing quality and the amazing cast and crew of this drama. I honestly cannot express how much I love this drama and I will most definitely keep rewatching the drama because of the main points listed above! Thank you, ‘What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim’!

What's Wrong with Secretary Kim (2018)
Super fun premise although it felt like it dragged on for a bit longer than it needed to. Also, it felt a bit too similar to male lead actor Park Seo Joon's previous show just a few years prior- She Was Pretty (2015).Contrary to a lot of other reviews, I thought the main couple's chemistry was fine enough. They played off each other well, the romance was convincing enough, and they went through their own trials and tribulations to come out stronger, cuter, and more in love with another. Park Min Young played a playfully serious secretary and Park Seo Joon played, again, a cool perfectionist yet goofy CEO archetype. The boss-employee dynamic was fine for the most part, though it felt a bit too tipped in the boss' scale.
The side characters and subplot were... okay? Without a doubt the clear cut focus of the show was the development of the leads so any side characters didn't have much to work with. The "big bad evil" plot point was oddly dark but I appreciated it. Some parts were played safely and some parts were unnecessarily bloated, but again, fine for the most part.
Even after the show was over and the dust had settled, we never got the true answer to the question: what's wrong with secretary Kim?

Best romcom ever
Ahmm!!!😍I loved this drama so much !!! Okay so im someone who is into crime , thriller and suspense that keeps me on the edge of the seat but this drama was an exception and I thought why not try it ?
So I did and I loved it so much !
So unlike other dramas this drama doesn't have so much to it but it still pleases you .... It is very light hearted and warm and you'll feel really good watching this if u r under stress or if u r a really busy person and u cannot often keep up with the story's suspense and all this drama is for u...
The characters in this drama are all soooo adorable and warm ... It truly felt like a family!🤗 I think the cast did a great job in giving us small giggles and making us feel warm all along !
I love how PSJ portrayed the male main lead .... I mean I did feel a bit bad but it was fun watching lee sung hyun so full of himself, arrogant and self centered but as the character further opens up u get to know that there more to him and hes like a coconut which is hard on the outside but soft from the inside .... I mean he did really care about mi so a lot its just that he didn't show it .... And mi so did a great job turning him into a new person and helping him open up...
And mind you there are a lot of love birds in the office😁😉 !
When I first started watching it I wondered why PSJ was so adamant on keeping mi so by his side but as the story proceeds you get to know!😁
I think this drama is just a small part of everybody's life where you feel you should quit and just rest now , get married have children, make a family...but it still was so cute looking at the couples cute it's and buts!☺
Overall its a fun experience watching this drama.... If you are having a tiring day and don't have anything to do or if u r feeling a bit low be sure to watch this drama ! Trust me it will surely heal you and entertain you to the fullest!

Goofy, sweet office romance
The defining office rom-com of modern K-drama: The world’s most perfect secretary (she is who I want to be when I grow up) works for the world’s most perfect boss (who is work- and self-absorbed to the point of not really noticing anyone else). The drama starts when, after 10 years of dedicated service, Secretary Kim suddenly announces her resignation. The boss is shocked. He immediately decides that he must figure out why she is leaving and somehow stop her. Why would she leave the perfect boss? What could have caused this so out-of-the-blue? More importantly, how can he convince her not to go? Which leaves us asking the more important question: Why can’t he let her go so easily? Well…the answer may be more personal than he wants to admit. (hint-hint, wink-wink) A traumatic childhood backstory involving a psychotic kidnapper and suicide is thrown in for the tension of it all, and there’s also a cute CEO’s brother/famous author/love rival to round out this classic series. Quote of the show: [a post-it note reminder on the female lead’s desk] “Think coolly (cool head); feel warmly (warm heart); run like your feet are on fire.”Was this review helpful to you?

Loved It
This drama was such a fun watch, didn't have much expectations started to watch for Min Young as I had loved her character and acting in the drama "her private life". Some of the dialogues were very funny...this is my first Park Seo Joon drama and he absolutely nailed the character so did Park Min Young...I liked the story, as it had no unnecessary drama's, fights and misunderstandings, matters and issues got resolved swiftly ...it was kind of real...how a couple in love would try & resolve issues... I liked the fact that story revolved around the main two leads (no second leads), although a brother was introduced his role was kind of rushed, which I guess was required for the plot. There were some sweet & hot kissing scenes, the main couple had lot of chemistry - of course it had a happy ending! Would love to see them together in another drama.Was this review helpful to you?
