I started What's Wrong with Secretary Kim expecting a smart, confident office romance with two competent leads. The early episodes were light, witty, and promising. But halfway through, the story takes a melodramatic turn with an implausible childhood trauma that breaks its rhythm. Even more puzzling, the capable and composed female lead suddenly turns timid and tearful, as if rewritten into someone else. Despite the polished look and charming cast, the story loses balance and believability toward the end.
