Hmmm...Can't put my finger on it yet...
Okay. I have watched these first six episodes three times. Three times. Why?
Part of it is I like watching when people stand up to the bad guy. For as bad as it was - in My Dear Secretary - when she took him down - it was vicious and gratifying to watch. In Bad Guy My Boss - the moment when he states "I am your Secretary - not a slave. I don't have to put up with you." was a beautiful moment. You could see the boss' eyes change as he knew he didn't have a comeback.
What I find hard to believe and can't seem to let go of his how awful a person he has been for several years and yet we are to believe that they are ecstatic bed buddies after a couple hours together? Uhhh, no. I would be better inclined to believe that they are drawn to each other because opposites attract but, beyond sex - their relationship should and would falter. The boss is too awful a person. And the secretary - while having moments - is a willing doormat.
Product placement was a mess in the resort episode. They crammed it in during the entire vacation. It must have been contractually insisted that they drink the drinks while surrounded with palm trees, good weather and flowing cottons and silks.
I will stick with it until the end. On the body wise side of things - Khim is near perfection. The others - ehh. Would have like to see the casting done the other way. Zax as the CEO - he would have appeared more professional and his bad side would have been darker - more corporate. James as the CEO just appears more a**hole than professional.
