Recomendo

Demorei pra ver mas gostei muito, super levinha e legal, confesso que o primeiro ep não me prendeu muito, eu ate demorei um pouco pra continuar, mas a parti do 2 eu começei a gostar mais e me fez querer assistir todo dia

Os personagens são super divertidos e engraçados, todo ep eu dava uma risada, os personagens principais tbm foram perfeitos

Park Min Young é maravilhosa, concerteza vou querer ver mais trabalhos dela, e o Park Seo Joon super lindo 😍

Outra coisa q eu gostei muito foi das Ost's do dorama, a unica coisa que eu achei meio confuso foi sobre o principal e o irmao dele nessa confusao de quem tinha sido sequestrado, mas enfim, muito bom recomendo

Perfectly balanced mixture of laughter, romance , peculiar weirdness, diverse characters, good acting skills and timing. Maybe the script was not that great as many say and story not so unique but sufficiently different to others. So even though drama follows some common rom-com elements, it still managed to shine. There wouldn't be so many recommendations across the world if it wouldn't, right? 😁

When it comes to the leads, I definately prefer Kim Mi So over Lee Young Joon. His character was great don't get me wrong. Fantastic performance. But! Kim Mi So was way more realistic, current and common. He was a kdrama character all the way 😅 The further you go in the drama the more you notice that the story is shown from more her point of view than his. The focus went from her work, to her house, from the family to Young Joon. We slowly could see what is actually wrong with secretary Kim 😏 Mr Lee of course played a big role and there was a nice balance present through out whole serie but she was the centerpiece.

I know that WWWSK is a classic and I’m glad I watched it, but it’s a bit of a hot mess. Park Seo-joon is a beautiful man but there was nothing appealing about his character besides the fact that he’s rich. This was the first show of his I’d ever seen and I didn’t realize what a good actor he could be until watching some of his other work because his character is so over the top.

I think what really works for this show is Park Min-young. She is the queen of rom coms for a reason. She has amazing chemistry with everyone she’s ever worked with and Park Seo-joon is no exception. Their chemistry was the main thing that kept me watching the show.

The workplace dynamics were pretty fun to watch. I really struggled with the second Secretary Kim’s romance storyline. Maybe it’s a cultural difference, but that cheap man with one outfit and no personality was so unbelievable as an office heartthrob. On the other hand, I loved Bo ra’s romance storyline so much and I’m sad there was so little of it! I found that couple more interesting than the mains.

The childhood connection storyline started off somewhat interesting and then went off the rails so badly by the end. Everything about it was executed so poorly and it was dragged out so long. The entire brother part of it was the worst and it made me hate the entire family.

WWWSK would have been more successful if it was a shorter show, since parts of it were cute but it was incredibly boring by the end. There was not enough story to fill up that many episodes and it resulted in such drawn out, uninteresting plot lines. The ending also felt very unsatisfying, as it seemed like the whole point for Secretary Kim was to be able to go out on her own and figure out what she wants to do but then they just decided that she didn’t need to do that anymore.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with 'what's wrong with secretery kim'

If perfection was a Korean Drama, I am sure this one would make the cut.

Character Development: Every character involving the leads and supporting alike, will grow on you. Their individual stories morphing into a whole within an office scenario will almost compel the viewer to feel the laughter, shock and turmoil with/within each one of them.
The depth and character development hence, comes out exactly on point. Not too fast neither too gradual, just perfect.

Plot: There as such, wasn't a well defined plot in here, a theme rather. Of reconciliation, mutual admiration, acceptance layered with a veil of enigma, that were some past memories. Which lemme tell you the drama pulled off. Brilliantly.

Acting: What more can I say of the overwhelming "aura" that is of Park Seo Joon that hasn't been said already. The guy himself is a masterpiece (even when he's trying to be an obnoxious douchebag).
Park Min Young complimented him thoroughly and I was impressed.
Everyone else kept me entertained throughout.
But I'll give the credit where it's due, the child actors especially Moon Woo Jin did the finest job.
For me, the excellent portrayal of the childhood trauma was in all honesty, the highest point of the show.

Extra: The love triangle could have been avoided but I forgive them cause they didn't stretch it pointlessly for too long.
Unpopular opinion, the blooming romance between Gwi Nam and Ji Ah was more fun than that of the lead pair. I mean the duo had their own quirks and toe curling moments which I enjoyed from the get go.

In conclusion, if you're into rom-coms you really can't miss out on this one!

Originally written on Nov 13, 2022

I didn’t take any notes while watching this, so no long ass review this time, but this was just okay.

The premise of a secretary who’s quitting her job and slowly falling in love with her boss over the course of her last month at the company is interesting, but the whole thing is dragged down by a forced mystery side-plot about childhood trauma.

Vice-president Lee is a narcissistic clown, and while the show explains why that is, it doesn’t make him a very likeable person. Hearing him talk about himself like he’s the most perfect person in the world is incredibly off-putting. Secretary Kim is a saint, as she’s been putting up with this shit for 9 years, and seeing her reward this behaviour with her love doesn’t sit right with me. It doesn’t feel earned. It feels bought.

It’s fun enough, and around the mid-season point there are a couple episodes which are really funny, but there are better, similar K-Dramas out there. Business Proposal, for example.

did anyone else hate this drama?

I don’t know what it was about this drama but it’s pained me to finish it! and the only reason I did it because I love park seo-joon so much.
I found the female lead to be incredibly frustrating like if your leaving your job just leave!! and she never gave a clear reason why she was leaving
hated the kidnapping plot pointless and stupid and just another kdrama were they’re meant to be cause they knew each other as kids
the male lead was super controlling which was passed off as love!
awful

Just right!

My favorite K-drama ever! He's so adorably clueless and I love watching his character progress from narcissist to loving man. This series has it all - comedy, drama, mystery, romance, beautiful buildings and scenery, and off-the-charts chemistry between the two main characters. It's nice to watch something that doesn't have the obligatory terrible parent trying to keep the two apart. And this may be random, but the earrings she wore throughout were beautiful! I've watched this series at least four times.

Overhyped

I had high expextations for this drama based on the reviews but it really failed. Acting and casting was the best part, otherwise the story had big loopholes, and I did not like the ending either.

How the hell did FL decide to stay in the company when the whole series was around her finding her way and resting? She did rest maybe one day, then she njust continued with her people pleaser ways. Even after ML let her go, it felt like she stayed out of guilt and did not love ML truly.

The last episodes were so boring I could almost not finish the whole series.

Do not watch this if you like consistent stories and real romance. It was just fluff and cringe.

If you have watched a lot of dramas before watching this one you might not connect with the storyline which I found myself doing. It’s a typical storyline but I definitely enjoyed all the characters in the drama. Though it’s a repeated childhood friend story Park Minyoung and Park Seo Joon brought some freshness into it as we haven’t see their pairing. Each love story was unique and cute. Some scenes were extremely funny so there was a reasonable amount of comedy which made up for the story in some way. The OST was okay but not super amazing. Overall the drama was okay but don’t watch with extremely high expectations because you can guess what coming next, it’s not unpredictable.

It started with great momentum ...

I added this drama to my queue because of Park Min Young. I absolutely adore her. The first episode did not draw me in. Despite the comedic tones of character introductions, it really didn't catch my attention. It was not until the end of the second episode that I held out hope for this drama.

The story and character development flowed beautifully. You learned a lot and fell in leave with all of the characters, main and support. It all comes to a head at the end of episode ten and you're left with this sense of closure. Unfortunately, you don't get that in the last six episodes. While the last six episodes are adorable, they're fluff. You forget about everything that happened in the first ten episodes because it is just sort of written off. I was left with a few questions and this want to find out how things were mended.

The acting is great! You do have to keep in mind that this drama has a comedic aspect to it. Parts are expected to be delivered animated and overdramatic. I personally feel the execution was amazing and left me drawn to the characters.

The music wasn't all that memorable. The songs fit the scene where a song became more prominent, but I didn't feel the need to run to Spotify or look up every song in the OST.

I could see myself watching this drama again, but only until episode ten. Again, nothing against the last six episodes, but I felt there could have been so much more than what was presented.

Overall, this drama is cute.The love story, characters, and comedy mesh really well and make for a bingeworthy drama.

A Classic Romantic Comedy

A cute romantic comedy about a narcissistic boss and his secretary: when I say narcissistic, I mean he doesn’t have an ounce of humility from start to finish. But that’s the charm of this unique character. You will eventually warm up to his unwavering habit of loving himself. The character Lee Young Joon played by Park Seo Joon is one you will either love or hate. The drama was structured around this character, so I learned to like him.

Kim Mi So, better known as Secretary Kim, was played by the gorgeous Park Min Young. She, as usual, was incredible. The concept in this drama is that she understands her boss completely. When Vice Director Lee talks about his good looks, intellect, or abilities, she usually agrees with him. Their relationship eventually becomes a romantic connection prompted by her decision to quit her job as his secretary.

Love will slowly blossom between the two, and you will witness a beautiful romance grow between two adults, both of which are relatively new at dating. Don’t forget this is a romantic comedy, emphasizing romance, and you will enjoy this drama as I did. There was an interesting subplot that’s settled early in the drama bringing the romance to the forefront. You don’t often see that happen. Usually, writers drag the main subplot to the bitter end. I enjoyed this refreshing change in writing style.
