Iconic romcom

This is such an iconic drama in the romcom genre! Many cliches of course but that didn’t bother me at all as I love romcom as well as all the actors in this. Recently rewatched it and it’s safe to say it’s one of my favorites of all time😍

I watch a lot of cdramas as well as kdramas, and the production quality of this compared to some other shows out there is no joke. It’s wonderfully high quality just like the story and cast! The more dramas I watch the more I wish other dramas lived up to the standard of this one.

The chemistry is also off the charts which makes it all the better. I also love the character of kim mi soo and how she’s always professional and amazing at her job! Competent and ambitious female leads are the best!!😁

One of the best in ROMCOM

Yes this is indeed one of the best drama in ROM com. Many people might comment that this drama is boring and no story and all but I liked it very much. The story has a unique turns and also has some good twists. This drama not only has comedy but also has family and little bit of sad. This is a drama with mixture of emotions in it. I think this was my second drama to watch it was the best. So I also recommend this to kdrama beginners. Next the cast with Park seo joon (the romcom prince) and fl with Park min Yong was best. Then the ost's or the music is also good there are song which are melodious and have emotional touch. So at last I recommend you all to watch this drama and enjoy.

I think we can all appreciate this drama for what it was- an incredible piece of cheesy fluff. When you read all these comments saying theres no conflict its the truth, and its for that reason why I believe its such a fan favorite!! The reason we watch cliche dramas like this is to forget our anxieties and worries and let gorgeous actors take us to a world far far away. This drama was brilliant in that sense. I forsee it making it to peoples top ten list for the next10 years in kdrama land when it comes to romance.

I read a review stating that everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this immediately and I did as I was told and live with no regrets. This show was absolutely amazing, twist and turns everywhere, a love that was so completely pure I’ve never been more happy to see. And a fairy tail ending that you wouldn’t even believe even though you can predict most of it. I’m literally so Happy with this show and how it turned out and the characters were amazing, every single one. This show was just extremely wonderful and is probably definitely one of my top 2018 shows and I'm so glad I was able to watch it and come back to it. I literally can't stress enough how much I love the two main leads together and even though the story was a little funky, the chemistry was wonderful and the stories were wonderful and the love all around the love was just amazing to me and everyone should be watching this show at least 9 times like I have because there's not a bad thing about this show.

If you're new to dramas I think this one is a great start for you. This drama contains all the feels. Humor, trauma, unconventional love story, office romance, steamy make-out scenes, a head over heels male lead, jealousy, family drama, and overall just a great mix. The leads chemistry in this drama had me convinced they actually loved eachother in real life.. This cast played their roles perfectly and the plot was really good. This one is in my top drama lists because I thoroughly enjoyed watching it!!

This drama is highly enjoyable despite the overused story of Kdrama about chaebol falling in love with someone who is not rich. Well, the difference is there are no snobbish and irritating rich parents, no villains to give you a heart attack, instead, its a solid drama on its own with humor and story to follow.

I like the chemistry of the two leads, they look good together and both maintain with certain charm throughout the show. It’s fun to watch Park Seo-Joon as a narcissistic character but who is naive about dating and love. I couldn’t imagine anyone else but him for this drama. Park Min-Young is quite impressive too, she just nailed her character as a secretary who is ideal and professional but struggling to enjoy her own personal life.

I recognize also the other side characters who liven up the atmosphere. Some of them are quirky, weird and yet it serves good support to the show to be a comedy relief.

Story-wise, I disagree with what other people said that it was dragging. I find the pacing fast and a balance from lighter to dark without overshadowing the funny sides until they wrap up it nicely.

Yes, it was predictable after the first few episodes and regardless of the plot that wasn’t grand enough to ponder, I still enjoy this one. I never got bored of this show, definitely worth fun to watch.

I really liked this one it was really good, all the characters were quite interesting and even the side characters and stories were really cute. I think their romanced developed really well, especially with him finding out he liked her. I also think that although they definitely could’ve gone down the route of staying on the last backstory for much longer than they had, they didn’t. For me, it was the perfect amount of drama and balanced out overall cuteness. If they had gone down the route of staying on the drama for copious amounts of time that would’ve been difficult to watch, particularly because what happens to them was actually quite serious and what he experienced was indeed quite dark.

Don't expect much

It was fun at first, give me curious why secretary Kim has to quit her job. Her boss act like a Narcissus that I seem funny but after watch more episode it so light, the plot is easy to guest that the male lead is a rich guy and bad memories when he was kid and now he falls in love with his secretary and don't want to lose her but what he act toward her make me roll my eye, a lot of nonsense act, too predictable and so childish to be honest. The story telling make me bored and bored so I skip a LOT! and cannot finish this drama. Something doesn't feel right even supporting role. Unnatural and overacting is a word I gave to this drama.

Overrated!

Unfortunately, I stopped watching Secretary Kim in the middle of episode 6. Between the two similar dramas, I much prefer Business Proposal which was much funnier and faster paced. I didn't feel the chemistry between the two leads and story development was slow. Since there were no second leads in this drama, the whole drama needs the main leads characters to really develop.

I tend not to be able to relate to the rich guy/poor girl relationship. Can't imagine to be able to reserve the entire amusement park to woo a date.

The drama would be better if the drama just starts with Secretary Kim quit the company and the male lead tried to win her back. This kind of boss/employee romance can be considered sexual harassment nowadays.

Meh. Overrated.

I don't understand why viewers liked this show. Aside from the Female Lead is pretty and her clothes look really good, there's nothing really there. The Male Lead is far from being a narcissist. It's just a typical boy hates girl romcom. I tried my best to finish the series but I had to drop it. Sorry but it was a waste if time trying to appreciate it.



For 500 characters requirement:

The series revolves around the narcissistic Lee Young Joon, the vice president of a company run by his family. He is very self-absorbed and thinks highly of himself, so much that he barely acknowledges the people around him. Lee Young Joon has a capable and patient secretary Kim Mi So who has remained by his side and worked diligently for 9 years without any romantic involvement. However, Mi So now wants to set her life & focus on herself so when she decides to resign from her job, hilarious misunderstandings ensue. After 9 years of their strictly-workplace relationship, can it now develop in something more?

I hated this drama with all my self. I was shocked about how many good reviews this drama had, so I decided to give it a chance since it was everywhere on the internet. I wasn't able to see it after the 6th episode. The cast is really good. but the story is the same as many others (the rich lead, the beautiful woman, a lot of money and a dark past), nothing new or intriguing. With a similar cast, they would probably make a way better storyline than a bunch of yet seen things...
Absolutely, for me, isn't worth the time...
