very bored
I really got bored watching this drama. Nothing interesting was happening, all the chapters were the same and I couldn't wait to finish it. The secondary couples were much more interesting.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Such a great rom-com!
We meet a narcissistic executive { Park Seo Joon } who rarely acknowledges the people around him because he’s so self-absorbed. He’s become successful in large part due to his capable secretary { Park Min Young } who’s worked diligently over the past 9 years. But when she informs him of her intent to resign so she can focus on herself, hilarity ensues. He’s determined to keep her by his side & she’s just as set on leaving. Who will win this battle of wills when hearts become involved?I absolutely love this. The quirky coworkers/friends, their families, the bromance… And then we have the Leads.
The ML & his *AURA* (iykyk) is hilarious! 😂 I love his self-confidence that makes him such an amusing fool. It’s good he never loses that belief in his own awesomeness.🙃 And his unwavering pursuit of the FL is swoon worthy. He goes all out to win her affection & I rooted for him 100%.
The FL is just as spectacular & the perfect balance to his oddities. But she’s got her own brand of crazy which is so fun to watch. They compliment each other so well! I loved her strength. She was respectful & stayed kind with the ML even when he was not so nice to her (though he was never intentionally cruel, just clueless!) And I love how she comes to appreciate his many quirks.
They have a beautiful love story born from a childhood bond (seriously, their past connection? One of the best I’ve seen!) Their chemistry makes me melt.🔥🫠 They’re wholly devoted - a wonderful OTP who give all the feels. 💕

What's endearing about this show is Young-joo. He's unabashedly egotistical and self-absorbed, but his comedic timing in this series is near perfection. At the same time, Secretary Kim is smart and sassy. No damsels-in-distress here. Just sit back and watch these two dynamic personalities clash. Additionally, while we get to learn our couple's backstories and journeys that led to the current situation, the series starts with the dramatic resignation. Rather than get to know the characters as the get to know each other, this is the point where many couples are already giving the traditional 10-year aluminum. This series comes with all the cliches you want in a rom-com including love triangles and office romances, but it also has a nice depth of tackling some of the problems a boss/secretary relationship would encounter. If you want a model of a rom-com that does it right, look no further than What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?

Made to be Rewatched
My first impression maybe one or two episodes in was to wonder how will they get 16 episodes out of this basic set up. As the story unfolds layers of hidden reveals and story twists emerge to justify those 16 episodes. On rewatch I appreciated the foreshadowing and reveals placed early on but which require that second time through to fully get.For example, pay attention to the flashbacks connected to each character. In particular and I say this without spoiling anything note the flashbacks with the main male lead. These point towards whether he does or does not remember certain events and who he really is.
I enjoyed the steep character arc of the main male lead, but also the less obvious arc for the main female lead.
All in all a very entertaining story that improves the second time through.

A drama made to enjoy
This is one of those series made to enjoy. It has romance, comedy, a little drama and even some suspense. Nothing very pretentious or deep, but a fun love story full of clichés that delight viewers.It became one of my favorite comfort dramas since I first watched it and I have rewatched it many times.
Park Seo Joon is my favorite actor, and in this series, we see his ability to make people laugh. What's more, the on-screen chemistry between him and Park Min Young is undeniable.
My only criticisms are that some secondary characters are too overacted, and that a couple of chapters at the end were not really needed in the plot (when the female lead is not so focused on the arrangements she should be making).
And since this is a light romance comedy, I understand why it doesn't delve into the traumas and narcissism of the male lead. I agree with it.
Lastly, I can't help but mention that Park Seo Joon's kisses in this series are among my favorites.

The plot is not much complicated and simply balanced ... It is a good thing that their past connection is not a coincidence and rise suddenly.. well planned. ❤️
The leads chemistry is funny, emotional yet "Super Hot " as a couple ???????? Park seo joon done simply awesome performance as an adorable narcissist,his expressions, feelings, everything is portrayed perfect and has the "Aura" .???? Park Min Young's classy style as secretary is Superb...She is hardworking and perfect.. I just love her character. The side characters are also loveable and have their own little love stories... which is cute. The dialogues, comic timings specially between Park Seo joon and Kang Ki-young.
Background music is average.
If you're looking for best rom-com to lighten your mood. This is best for it. With loads of laugh and romance. This is worth watching.

A Rom com done well /beautiful
The story was nothing new but it was done right.Loved the ml and fl(I love park min Yung, when she smiles you can't help but smile too).
The ml did a good job, he's a typical arrogant Ceo but in a lovable way.
Loved how the leads grew and the development in their characters..
This is the 1st kdrama that I ever rewatched and I plan on rewatching it. It's just so beautiful ❤️. There's no annoying ex's or family butting in who their children marry.
It's a must watch 👏

I really enjoyed this show. However, I really wish that the female lead had taken the vice chairman down a peg or two instead of always agreeing with him that he's so great! Who does that? Isn't he a little too into his own awesomeness? Also, episode 16 was a bit underwhelming. Otherwise, though, this show was excellent, and would recommend it to any of my K-drama loving friends. Watch this for the acting, but jus t be aware that there are a few things that can rub a person the wrong way. And they don't get fixed. Was this review helpful to you?
Lee Young Joon started off as a self absorbed manager and quickly rose to being a very capable Vice Chairman with one person by his side, his lovely and equally capable Secretary Kim Mi So. The partnership is flawless after 9 years of being together, but it was a long road to get there.
Now that Secretary Kim has decided that she needed a change, Vice Chairman Lee Young Joon is at a loss.
The story of how they ended up together goes back beyond the working relationship and adds an interesting catalyst and gives it a fated love feel.
You get to know Vice Chairman Lee Young Joon is very different from the facade he presents while hiding a devastating secret.
The lead actors work well together and shows the tender passion and love the story calls for. I know most American series go pass the kissing to an almost obscene level, but just barely lip touching and freezing in one pose doesn't convey much passion either.
The supporting cast is surprisingly great as their own love stories are revealed. They show a united front when one of them is labeled as sleeping her way to the top. Vice Chairman's sound board buddy, Directory Park offers sometimes useful advice in the midst of his own love crisis. A drunk Vice Chairman is hilarious as well as he tries to please Mi So's rocker father in later scenes.
The sounds effects added are hilarious and perfectly timed. The series overall is great and I would recommend it highly.

No love triangles, wholesome pairing, funny side characters
I absolutely love Park Seo-joon and had to watch it after I've read the plot and saw some scenes on youtube.It's wholesome, funny, classy and just an all-rounder.
I'm not a fan of love triangles or trust issues between characters and unnecessary flights. So this had everything I wanted and nothing that I hated. The main characters had a clumsy start into their romance but thanks to a - sometimes helpful - friend and communication they improved and learned how to treat each other and be happy together.
There's even some I dare say "mystery" in the Drama because of an incident that will be solved throughout the series.
I cried, laughed, worried and was full of tension during some scenes. I loved their awkward moments, their cute ones and their serious ones.
If you love Kdramas and want something light, funny but still intriguing then this is the perfect one for you!

"Aw, look how sweet he is to her."; "Aw, are they really kissing again?!"; "Aw, her clothes and earrings are so cute!";"Aw, they both haves such great families"; and "Awwwww yeeeaaah! He's taking his shirt of again!"
This is the kind of show you watch when you are in the mood for a cute overload. This is the giant fudge sundae of dramas. If this drama were a diamond, it would be at least 6 carats. If this drama were a color, it would be the brightest, happiest color you could think of. I could go on and on with my comparisons, but I think you get the picture. This is a happy show.
While there is a little mystery added to make things more interest, this show is mainly about relationships. And not only the relationship between Kim Mi Soo and her boss. They focus on just about every relationship there is and they do it in a very healing manner. Even when people fought, by the end of the fight they were closer and understood each other better. I defy you to watch this show and not walk away feeling at least a little optimistic about your life because I really think that's what the makers of the drama set out to do. They didn't want to make the kind of drama that frustrated you and made you cry. I think they almost tried to make up for those other dramas. It was as if they were saying "I know those other dramas made you sad so come here and let me make it all better."
This focus on happiness and beauty was a great things, but it did sacrifice some of the interest in order to keep the themes so light and fluffy. After the mystery was revealed (Wasn't really that much of a mystery in the first place.), they focused even more on the romance. This isn't a bad thing, I like romance, but it could feel like a bit too much at times. But it was very nice to watch a drama about people being in love instead of just falling in love. I got to see how the main couple and the side couples worked through their issues, and that showed how solid their relationships really were. It was great that Kim Mi Soo accepted how conceited Lee Young Joon was, but she also wasn't afraid to let him know when he was going too far. And Lee Young Joon loved how hardworking she was, but would be the first to let her know when she was focusing too much on the wrong things. Their relationship was surprisingly relatable. There were also three equally as adorable side relationships that could have easily been the focus of their own drama. Great romantic writing!
And before I go, I must write a little bit about how much I adored the main actors Park Seo Joon was just as handsome and charming as ever, and Park Min Young is just about as pretty and adorable as they come. How two people can be that good looking and still have the nerve to be likable, I don't know. But I do know, I had a great time watching their characters fall in love. They were "partners" in the truest sense of the word. From the very first episode, it was obvious how much Young Joon respected and appreciated Mi Soo's skills at her job, but it didn't take long for him to realize that he also appreciated and loved her for what she added to his life. Watching him chase her, and seeing how much she enjoyed being caught, was a lot of fun. And I can't wait to watch it again soon.
