It went quite well until the final scene. The final scene was complete nonsense. I found out it wasn't in the original webtoon. It's proof that the tv series writers can't even finish a quality story. I think it is solid 9.5.
I'm sorry but how could you have interpreted the "relationship" beetwen Secretary Kim and Young Joon's…
Secretary Kim doesn't care about her childhood or past. She's just obsessed with her "childhood oppa" from the past. When her sister disapproved of their relationship, she said, "You don't know anything about him; he protected me when I was very scared." Deep down, she constantly wishes that the boy from her past would turn out to be her boss. She's even trying to clarify this by talking to the boss's mother. Because she's afraid that if she finds out it's not her boss but his older brother, she won't be able to choose between the two.
In short, she has no desire here to reconnect with her past. No one wants to relive a time in their childhood when they were kidnapped. She simply feels gratitude towards that "oppa" who protected her in the past. In the episode where they were searching for ribbons on the mountain, her boss asked her, "Even though I'm uncomfortable with you meeting with my brother, are you going to do it?" Secretary Kim's answer was an unhesitating and serious "Yes."
Aside from the series' use of all sorts of clichés, it also suffers from numerous logical and ethical flaws.
Female Lead is initially a woman with no qualifications, her father is indebted to a loan shark, and she works to pay for her two older sisters' college tuition. Despite her lack of skills, a CEO of a large company hires her with a high salary. She works for him for nine years. Then, suddenly, she's swept away by another man who says, "I'm the man you knew in your childhood, but I don't remember anything." During working hours and meeting times, she starts leaving work to go out to eat with this newcomer. She begins calling this complete stranger "oppa" from the second day.
The screenwriter's aim is to create "female lead chasing the wrong guy" tension. But they do this by mocking the audience's intelligence and completely destroying all ethical behavior of the main character.
I don't understand how this drama got an 8.5 rating. I've watched 150 Korean dramas so far. It doesn't do anything that dramas like "Business Proposal," "I'm Not a Robot," "School 2017," or "Can This Love Be Translated?" do. It doesn't even offer anything better than extremely cliché dramas like "Her Private Life." Frankly, I think this rating was given entirely because of the lead actors, and the drama doesn't even come close to deserving it.
I could write much more, but I think this is enough.
Excerpt from Dramabeans:Then, there’s Yong-pil who has been working in Switzerland the past two years. He and…
They were separated from each other for 8 years, and they say they are madly in love with each other. However, the male lead's dream is to go to Switzerland and continue his career there, so they stay apart for 2 more years. (distance relationship) Do you think this makes sense? He could continue his career in Korea, where his loved one lived. They just wanted to add a dramatic ending. "I wonder if they will break up?" "Or will he come back?" Something like this was added to the end of the story to arouse curiosity. And the excuse they come up with for doing this is truly ridiculous.
The couple, who have been in love with each other for more than 30 years, have been separated for 8 years due to the hostility between their families. Throughout the 16 episodes, all kinds of events happen to them and they suffer. Then they choose their bond and love, stand in front of their families and say they will not break up again. In the middle of the last episode, when the main male actor's dream of going to Switzerland and becoming a meteorologist revealed, they break up again in a scene. Really? Why did we watch 16 episodes of this? If you wanted to dramatize the ending of the series, you should have at least come up with something more effective. Really disappointing. The only reason I gave it 7.5 points is because the actors did their job well.

The series started as a mystery. It ended as a comedy.
