K-Drama
now come to the drama i'm wondering after watching it why its titled " WHAT's WRONG WITH SECRETARY KIM" it should be titled " WHAT's WRONG WITH VICE PRESIDENT LEE " cause after hearing miss kim - she is quiting job mr. lee is no longer as usual lol :)
i must say actors are well deserve to be their they enact things greatly that make me sense writer/screenplay whomever done that have beautiful creator mind and magician to written/convey it
we all know there is nothing new in any drama all have same things romance bromance enemy action melodrama but what make any drama different/special is how you are presenting it
the show tell story about three person who went through trauma and how they overcame things and endure/control their emotion its old saying " when people face hard time either that person broke or became more stronger"
i used to go deeply in emotion how people convey their feelings so i've used serious words here so don't judge this drama is serious the thing i above mentioned it conveyed in very beautiful/light way its only some part of drama the whole drama is about confused heart of mr. lee and his stupidity cute romance as a same time passionate
recommendation 10/10

life in all its hues
My Take:The tone of the drama seems to evolve in three distinct phases-first/ third, everything feels cold and emotionally distant. second /third, characters begin to soften. final /third, everyone has completely melted emotionally. This shift in tone was evident, but I found the transitions between these phases a bit jarring. The tonal changes didn’t flow smoothly, making it feel like the drama was divided into disconnected chunks. If you watch each part separately, they’re good in their own right. But if you watch it all at once, something feels off as if the parts don’t blend into a cohesive whole.For example, the drama begins on a strong note where the female lead decides she won't care about anyone anymore and will live the rest of her life for herself. However, this idea quickly becomes contradictory. Despite being ignored by her husband for years, she suddenly becomes soft toward him just because of a single gesture. That shift didn’t sit well with me. It would’ve made more sense if the FL had taken more time to accept the ML emotionally. As they say, "They plan was to go to London, but somehow we ended up in Indonesia." That’s how the drama felt starting with one direction but taking an entirely different route. Some aspects felt missing or left unexplained .
What I did like about the drama:
1. Even though the ML ignored the FL, he was never cruel to her.
2. I cried a lot from the moment the FL divorced the ML and left, right up until the end it was emotionally impactful.
3. Although the story didn’t maintain the tone it began with, the couple's moments were touching and beautiful.
Overall, it’s a good drama if you can overlook the abrupt rhythm and enjoy it for its emotional beats and character moments.

complete story :
Lin Xiao Shao (played by Guo Yu Xin) is a simple, obedient young woman who has never truly known love or belonging. Orphaned at a young age, she was adopted into a family that only saw her as an asset to be used. Unlike her brother, she was never treated with warmth or respect. Instead, she was groomed to be sold off in the marriage market to the highest bidder.Her marriage to Fu Yuchuan (played by Wang Kai Mu) is nothing more than a business transaction orchestrated by her adoptive family. Fu Yuchuan, on the other hand, is the illegitimate child of a powerful business family. Despite the odds, he has carved a name for himself in the business world through sheer talent and hard work. His success, however, has only made him the target of envy and hatred from his own family.Unable to harm Fu Yuchuan directly, his family turns their frustration toward Lin Xiao Shao, subjecting her to cruel treatment under the guise of family rules and traditions. Yuchuan, unaware of their actions, wrongly assumes that Xiao Shao was planted by his family to spy on him. This misunderstanding causes him to stay emotionally distant and indifferent toward her.Xiao Shao, caught between a loveless family, hostile in-laws, and a cold husband, leads a life devoid of affection and happiness. Her world turns upside down when she is diagnosed with a terminal illness. This revelation becomes a turning point for her. She undergoes a complete transformation no longer the submissive girl everyone could push around, she begins to live for herself.Her newfound strength and cold detachment unexpectedly attract Yuchuan’s attention. As she begins to assert herself and withdraw from everyone, including him, he starts to see her in a new light. Slowly, the distance between them shortens, and their relationship begins to evolve. Despite the improvement, Xiao Shao chooses to divorce Yuchuan, not wanting to burden him or be dragged along in a loveless bond. It’s only after this that Yuchuan discovers the truth about her illness. Heartbroken and desperate, he secretly donates bone marrow to her, never revealing his identity as the donor.Eventually, it is Yuchuan’s close friend who reveals the truth to Xiao Shao, making her realize the depth of Yuchuan’s love and sacrifice. Moved and overwhelmed, she returns to him. In the end, the two find their way back to each other not as strangers in a business deal, but as soulmates who have endured pain, misunderstanding, and transformation.

nothing new to say about as tagged it "slap and kiss" you get it from it lot of moments. what i want to mention is i never saw such revenge drama where revenge is taken from each and every one belongs to enemy messing/ruining with each one life/head. i watched other revenge drama where only one to endure things for wrong doing.
different people have different definition of strong FL but for my definition is " if a FL is physically strong to tackle physical fight, emotionally strong to over come their obstacle to not plead anyone, mentally strong to manipulate things and messing with people heads"
yes there is strong FL who fits with almost my definition emotionally strong and mentally strong, many times you get to know her strong side just because its a romantic and slap kiss drama the strong FL definition is manipulated sometimes we know if there is no need of each other in lead pair how story will go
should i need to tell you ML is charming handsome who play cruel and involve with all life but only in their heart FL stay

The drama looks promising, but there’s nothing substantial beneath the surface.
The story is supposed to be about revenge and love, but honestly, I could barely see either of them throughout the series.Let’s talk about love first. All I see is teasing and pursuing, and even though there are intimate scenes, the relationship comes across more like a friends-with-benefits (FWB) situation than genuine love. There are no emotions reflected in their eyes, no emotional depth that makes me believe they’re actually in love. The chemistry is there, but the love? I just don’t see it.
Now, coming to the revenge plot.The revenge storyline barely even begins until the very end. Throughout the series, the MLs are either busy teasing each other or solving problems for the people around them. And honestly, some of those problems feel so baseless and poorly written that they’re difficult to take seriously.
For instance, one of the ML’s friends supposedly suffers panic attacks just by looking at a camera. How did he even make it this far in the acting industry? Before getting into acting, people often work in modelling, advertisements, or similar fields, all of which require them to face cameras. So how does his situation even make sense?
Then there’s the issue of an email being sent from your manager’s account. And the solution? Somehow, becoming XYZ’s manager is supposed to clear your own manager’s name from the accusations. How does that even work? It feels like a baseless solution to a problem that was poorly established in the first place.
And what kind of manager has only two clients, both of whom are troublemakers, yet somehow manages to keep his business running? The whole setup feels unconvincing.
One ML Sun comes to for revenge, yet he barely makes any actual moves to get it. The revenge only starts happening in the final episode, and even then, he probably wouldn’t have been able to pull it off without Jay’s help. Jay, too, waits until the very end to take his revenge. So, throughout the entire series, the main couple accomplishes almost nothing in the name of either love or revenge.
The only things I genuinely enjoyed were the main couple’s teasing, their pursuit of each other, and their intimate scenes. Their dynamic was entertaining, but I honestly see it more as an FWB relationship than love. And I’m fine with that interpretation because I simply cannot call it love when I never saw that emotion in their eyes.
As for the revenge plot, it barely exists until the very end.
That’s exactly why I said this drama is all looks and no substance. It may look like a mountain from the outside, with its attractive leads, chemistry, and intimate scenes, but underneath all that, the story feels hollow. It has the appearance of a compelling revenge-and-love story, but the actual substance needed to make either storyline convincing is largely missing.

Rebirth Theme Faded Away
This drama does not justify the rebirth tag. It was going fine in the beginning, then in the middle some rebirth track was lost after the marriage of the leads. And the hate and love concept started playing. There is no rhyme in the story, suddenly some twist is revealed for which no hint was given before. And so many plots were added that it was all spread out. And it crossed the limit when sibling was revealed between ML and FL. And it was not even made clear. Initially there was a hint towards a love triangle but later that track was also lost. The three main characters were weak. I will give this number only for romance.Was this review helpful to you?
delightful
The main element of this film is comedy, not crime investigations, the male characters are clumzy and funny, this is what connects the audience to this film. The writing is not great but it is beautiful. It is enough to touch your heart and bring a smile on your face, of course not worth repeating but definitely worth watching once.Was this review helpful to you?
it has most the similarities to eternal love which make it more uninteresting may be people like it cause eternal love is my also favorite but when drama not stand out in anything(new/unexpected) and became shadow of any drama then whats the point to give your valuable time to it
in my opinion its nice drama but not worth 56 episodes, there is not any extraordinary story line..............................by watching this drama people can judge itself thats better idea cause i've mixed feeling may be i'm watching asian dramas for long time so i'm familiar to dramas situations when it comes to compare any drama
it could be better if i haven't watch any similar drama before the it might be fresh for me and may be my opinion is different or better than this...

family drama
It's basically a family drama filled with palace/kichen politics. Every prince seems to be lovesick, and that obsession makes them all look incompetent. The female lead is the only emotionally intelligent character she knows exactly where, how much, and why to invest her emotions, which makes her stand out.The male lead is also well-written and likable.The fantasy tag feels unnecessary because there isn't really anything particularly fantasy-driven about the story. The second male lead's obsession with the female lead is completely ridiculous and overdone. The emperor's greed is what ultimately destroys his entire family.
The male lead's return is never properly explained, which feels like a major plot hole. On the bright side, the bonus episode is really cute and leaves the story on a pleasant note.
The romance between the main leads was definitely one of the strongest parts of the drama. Their chemistry was enjoyable to watch, and I was genuinely invested in their relationship from beginning to end.
The drama starts off really strong and gives the impression that it will focus on a serious struggle for the throne, filled with political intrigue and power plays. However, as the story progresses, it shifts into more of a romantic, jealousy-filled family drama instead.
There are also a few cute bromance moments sprinkled throughout, which add some charm to the story. Overall, it's a good watch if you're looking for a romance-driven family drama, but if you're expecting an intense political thriller centered on the battle for the throne, you may end up disappointed.

contrary to theme
In the beginning, it was understood that it is based on physical desires. It is instructive and an attempt has been made to explain things from a woman's point of view. So far everything is correct, but in the end, the whole issue ended by adding a touch of love in it.
This shows that she was not dying for a physical relationship, rather she was looking for her perfect soul mate.
which is contrary to the theme of "physical desire/satisfaction "

crazy bitch and her weapon
I just don't like the way they are harassing and forcing DBM to take her(FL) side. If a person does not want to take revenge even after knowing the truth or not knowing the truth, then forcibly harassing him for her(FL) own benefit, trying to take back his forgotten memory, is real torture.You are causing him an accident so that his memory comes back are you crazy? (even doctors do not instruct/prescribe that kind of stunt) What hypocrisy, you are saying that he will decide himself, I have left him free, but the very next moment you reach to trouble him.
Don't play with the memory of those whose memory is lost, do not know if he goes mad, goes into trauma, or whatever.
I am feeling FL is more a villain than a villain, who can go to any extent for her own benefit. But she is showing as if she sympathizes with Ml. she shares the same pain (bullshit) . she is really a crazy bitch who just to make sure he becomes her weapon is going low to hurt him.

interesting and little confused
My first time encountering a concept like this, I found it quite intriguing and mysterious, which immediately sparked my curiosity and made me interested in watching the drama. The story is fresh and interesting, and it definitely had the potential to be even better. The chemistry between the leads is really good, and I’m not only just talking about intimacy (spicy/hot). but their love, understanding, and overall connection are genuinely enjoyable to watch.However, there are a few things that felt a little odd to me.
First, since this is a kind of supernatural fantasy drama where the characters have the power to harm people when they get angry, why don’t they use those powers when they are literally facing death? 😂 Apart from anger and scent, do they not have any other supernatural abilities, like super speed, teleportation, or the ability to disappear etc ? It would have been interesting to see more of their powers being explored.
Another scene that felt strange was when they left their eldest brother alone in the jungle, surrounded by enemies, while the second and third brothers were having a conversation with others at the café. The timing of that scene felt a little off.
Also, how can an Alpha villain be subordinate to an Omega villain? Doesn’t that contradict the hierarchy established in the story? And please, don’t tell me he owed him a debt, because that explanation just doesn’t fit the power dynamics of this world.
And apparently, even Omega Betas can bite and mark people? Did I raise a valid point, or was this actually mentioned in the drama and I just missed it?
The whole Alpha-Beta-Omega concept left me with quite a few questions. If Alphas and Betas cannot give birth, and only Omegas can conceive, while a pure Omega can apparently also impregnate their partner, then how does their society’s reproductive cycle actually work? LOL. 😂
And what kind of world is this, where only Alphas, Betas, and Omegas seem to exist? Are there no ordinary humans at all? I wish the drama had explained the dynamics, hierarchy, and biology of this universe more clearly. A little more world-building would have made the story much easier to understand and even more engaging.
Perhaps some of these questions were intentionally left unanswered for Season 2, especially since both members of the main couple are pregnant. 👀 I’m really curious to see how their story develops and how the drama addresses these unanswered questions.
Overall, it’s an interesting drama with a unique concept, good chemistry, and an engaging storyline. Despite some confusing aspects and questionable scenes, I enjoyed watching it. Definitely worth giving it a try, and I’m looking forward to Season 2!
I gave it a 10/10 because the story is good and the chemistry is amazing, so I chose to overlook some of its flaws. ❤️

good attempt
Everything about this vertical drama is impressive, but I do have one issue the female lead’s acting. Whenever there’s an intimate or seductive scene, her expressions don’t come across as sensuous; instead, they feel a bit vulgar, almost as if she’s portraying a prostitute rather than creating a romantic or passionate vibe.i loved ML acting .
Some aspects also felt off, like the repetition of her outfits and how the villainess had a much more glamorous wardrobe. It almost made it seem like the second female lead was the main character, while the actual female lead looked more like part of the supporting cast.
I’m a huge fan of POB, so when I first watched this drama which slightly deviates from POB while keeping its essence I honestly thought it was terrible. But after watching it again today, I realized it’s actually quite good in its own way. Both dramas are great; they just differ in tone and style.
