Ellina

Her Private Life follows Sung Duk-mi, who live a double life, a professional and talented art curator at work, and a dedicated fansite master in her private time. She eventually meets her new director, Ryan Gold, who discovers her secret.

It’s a classic romcom and full of clichés, yet it still makes your heart flutter. The series does a great job exploring the world of art curators and their daily work, as well as the vibrant and sometimes obsessive life of fangirling. This was pretty new for me to watch.

The story moves at a fast pace, which keeps it from ever feeling boring. That said, I started to dislike the plot in the last third of the series. It falls into the usual cliché trope of a childhood connection where the characters were unintentionally linked in the past but this one felt too stretched and over-the-top for my liking.

The chemistry between the leads is adorable and spot-on. Park Min-young plays her usual professional office role and she executes it perfectly. I loved her character and her stylish vibe. Kim Jae-wook also shines with some really enjoyable comedic moments.

Overall, it’s a solid, feel-good romcom that’s definitely worth watching.
