Memorable Rom-com of 2026
I love shows that give me a good laugh and I am easy to humour, I enjoy simple humour and situational comedic elements so I am enjoying this drama. This drama has many scenes that give one a good laugh so I am all for it. I love this show for the subtelty because it gives the audience the space to imagine and think things after scenes are over.
the story summary:
Kang Jae Hee, a police detective goes undercover and in disguise of a man to find the secret behind the murder of Yoon Yi Joon's(heir to a powerful conglomerate) secretary. Kang Jae Hee joins as the secretary of Yoon Yi Joon and uncovers the truth.
the dynamics and pacing:
The show is well paced , the story is rather simple so i was not expecting much. But the chemistry and dynamics is what saves the rather simple plot.
the character:
This one is my favourite. The Male Lead: He is conventional in his theatrics yet not like any other CEO from dramaland. The guy has sass, sarcasm and swag. Everytime he is on screen the scene becomes 10X better. His character is well written and layered. The heir to a conglomerate who is in a succession fight with his sister, Yoon Yi Joon appears very demanding, narcissistic and eccentric. He wants his coffee made perfect to the point that he measures the temperature. His secretary office is always busy because to our perfectionist ML everything should be perfect. He knows how to keep people in line and makes sure that no one crosses it but then kaboom~~~ Kang Jae Hee enters his life and now all the castles he built slowly begin to crumble. When I say slowly I mean slowly because it is slow burn. The show doesn't go to-" he fell for the person at first sight or instantly" rathen we see his characters many layers, becoming more gentle, carning and less guarded around Kang Jae Hee, little by little, step-by-step.
And I cannot stop myself from praising Yim Si Wan so i wont add another heading to appreciate the acting. I'll do it instantly because that is how good it id. Yim Si Wan has the best expressions any actor can give in complex scenes(by complex I mean scenes with emotional complexity). He expresses sadness with a touch of angst and anger with a touch of fearful emotion. His eyes fill with happy tears when the scene makes his character genuinely happy and with sad tears when his character opens up to someone like never before. It's so good. This is not it, the sass and main character energy(which his character is lol) Yim Si Wan brings is the best element. For me nobody could've done Yoon Yi Joon's character better than him. Especially his rections and expression in Ep. 7 are worth remembering, I kept laughing staring at the ceiling while thinking of his expressions. The directors did a good job at showing his struggle beacuse after watching so many rich CEO rom-coms, Yi Joon has easily become my favourite rich guy haha
This one is one of my favourite FLs out there: The female Lead: She is a soldier toughened by life experience, a seasoned soldier. She has mental resilience and psychological scars but maintains her composure, thanks to her time in the military where she lost comdrades as well. She knows how to navigate sudden changes, carries the weight of duty and a habit of constant vigilance. Kang Jae Hee became a police officer and gets tangled into Yoon Yi Joon's life due to an undercover operation to uncover the truth about his secretary's murder. She uses the opportunity of the comapany's secretary recruitment and infiltrates the security team, joins the company as his "male" secretary , she disguises as a man because the recruitment was "men only". And now the story unfolds as Jae Hee discovers Yi Joon's secrets.
The good part is again the slow burn. Jae Hee hates Yi Joon because to her he is a murderer by circumstantial evidence but as she gradually uncovers the truth she realises that the guy is not that bad and it's the fun part. At one point the audience knows that both characters have subconsciously started to care for eachother and now the love is unrequited , it is fun to watch beacuse the directors don't throw it on our face as "he fell first or she fell first" but as gradual development of feelings over time. Another funny thing is that Yi Joon likes Jae Hee thinking she is a "he", so Yi Joon is down bad for 'Jae Hee- the secretary' not Jae Hee- the 'female' secretary, and it keeps getting funnier each episode beacuse the directors play on this "woman disguises as man" very well. Her struggle as she falls for Yi Joon knowing it'll end once he knows the truth is also subtly shown.
Seor In A really did an amazing job, for me she's always been a favourite but now she is "The" favourite.
this is it. I'll complete the review after the final ep but for now this is it .Adding to this, there was an ongoing dicussion that Yi Joon knows she was a woman all along and some commentors are obsessed. I personally think " DOES IT EVEN MATTER!?". We all love romaces and love stories where people fall in love for them as a person, the personlity and the kind of human they are not for their appearence, the beauty or "what they bring to the table", so here Yi Joon loves Jae Hee , for the wonderful human being he finds her to be, regardless of her being a man or woman, Yi Joon will always love her for who she is and I think we should appreciate that. Thanks for reading till the end :))
