Perfect Blend of Romance, Mystery, and Sizzling Chemistry!
There’s nothing wrong with just Secretary Kim—there’s something wrong with the CEO too! Both leads are made for each other, but the drama unfolds their deeper connection in an engaging way.This was one of the first boss-secretary dramas I watched, and I loved every bit of it. The romance, the jealous moments, and the way he protects her make this drama incredibly romantic. Plus, the chemistry between Park Seo-joon and Park Min-young is off the charts! Park Seo-joon has that undeniable aura, and Park Min-young perfectly embodies the role of the dedicated yet independent secretary.
Beyond romance, the drama also weaves in a mystery from their past, adding more depth to the storyline. While the side characters and their arcs serve as filler, the main leads and their dynamic keep you hooked. If you’re looking for a well-balanced mix of romance, humor, and mystery, What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim? is a must-watch!

A Rom-Com Without a Cause
Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale feels like a drama that forgot to bring its plot to the party. It lacks emotion, structure, and any compelling reason to exist. The story, if you can call it that, is a scatter of disconnected moments trying to mimic a romantic comedy, but falls painfully flat.Both the male and female leads seem misplaced, making you question why they even signed on for this project. There’s no real romance, no chemistry, and certainly no spark to hold your attention. It evokes nothing — no laughter, no butterflies, just a lot of “why am I watching this?”
If you’re looking to waste a few hours, be my guest. But if you're hoping for charm, heart, or anything remotely memorable — look elsewhere. This drama is a case study in why some believe the rom-com genre is fading.

A Wholesome and Heartfelt Take on Divorce
I started watching Good Partner because it had been a while since I’d seen a drama centered around divorce—and this one truly stands out. It unfolds at a slower pace, but that’s exactly what allows it to explore the many reasons people choose to part ways and the emotional ripple effects it has on both children and adults.Jang Na Ra and Nam Ji Hyun deliver exceptional performances as divorce lawyers, bringing grace and authenticity to their roles. While romance isn’t the central focus, you’ll find yourself deeply invested in the characters and their quiet, heartwarming moments.
The male lead is portrayed as an empathetic and easygoing guy—the kind of colleague or friend you’d likely meet in real life. His unwavering support for Nam Ji Hyun’s character, even after she initially turns him down, is refreshing and genuine.
Jang Na Ra’s on-screen work partner is a true “ahjussi goals” character. His calm demeanor, subtle charm, and quiet acts of support—like simply offering coffee—make him incredibly endearing. He harbors feelings for her but remains respectful and supportive, knowing she’s married, which adds depth to his character.
If you’re in the mood for an emotionally rich, slow-paced drama that handles the complexities of divorce with care and warmth, Good Partner is a must-watch. Highly recommended!

A Secretary-Boss Romance with a Slow Burn
"Jugglers" is a slow-paced drama that revolves around a secretary-boss romance. While the storyline isn’t particularly unique, the drama offers some enjoyable moments, especially for fans of the female lead. Having previously played a villain in Empress Ki, she delivers an impressive performance as the main lead.The plot follows a dedicated secretary who is wrongfully accused of having an affair with her married boss. After being humiliated and fired, she finds a new job under a cold and independent male lead who initially resists having a secretary. As they work together, misunderstandings arise, but he eventually realizes her worth, leading to a heartfelt romance.
The main leads deliver fantastic performances, and the second lead is also quite charming. While the story unfolds at a slow pace, it has its fair share of romantic moments, making it a decent watch for fans of boss-secretary relationships.

Romance with Art
One of my favorite K-dramas so far! I absolutely fell in love with the male lead—he’s not only an amazing actor but also a fantastic singer. He portrays Jin Moo Hak so well, making his character both charming and overbearing in the best way. He falls first, relentlessly follows the female lead, and keeps helping her, even when she tries to push him away.I believe this is Park Gyu-young’s first lead role, and she is stunning—her acting is top-notch. The story follows her character, who is left to manage her late father’s museum while dealing with her toxic ex, played by Kwon Yul. He’s twisted, emotionally clueless, and believes he can discard women and take them back whenever he pleases. She’s been hurt, and she’s wary of him.
Enter Jin Moo Hak, whose family owns a successful gamjatang (Korean pork bone soup) business. Her father owed him money, so he initially approaches her to collect the debt, but in the process, he loses his heart. Despite his wealth, he remains humble, and his dynamic with his sharp-witted female secretary Hwang Bo Ra adds even more charm to the drama.
The romance is breathtaking—the chemistry is sizzling, filled with longing, jealousy, and intimate moments that make you want to rewind and watch again. On top of that, the drama weaves in a well-executed mystery-thriller angle, adding layers to the storytelling. I’d definitely recommend this!

A Quirky Tale That Missed the Mark
I started watching Beautiful Gong Shim for Namgoong Min, expecting a heartfelt love story, but it turned out to be more than that. While I appreciated the portrayal of the female lead as a goofy, flawed character—especially highlighting her struggles with hair loss, wearing a wig and struggling with her self-worth—alongside an equally quirky male lead, the drama didn’t really resonate with me.I also didn’t enjoy the fact that the male lead always expects the female lead to do things for him. It doesn’t really feel like he loves her—more like he needs her. The second leads, too, didn’t evoke any real emotion, making the story feel bland overall. The story just drags on making it difficult to continue the drama. That said, if a goofy male and female lead dynamic is something you enjoy, or if you're a fan of Namgoong Min, you can give it a go! But you can skip it if you feel goofy leads aren't your thing.

Ji Chang-Wook’s Action-Packed Masterclass in Acting
This was my first Ji Chang-wook action drama, and wow—this man is an actor! I had watched Suspicious Partner before this, but The K2 made me realize just how effortlessly he embodies any role. Acting is truly his forte, and here, he brings the bodyguard character to life with the depth and intensity it deserves.This drama has everything—action, political intrigue, and a touch of romance. The fight scenes are next level—the bathroom fight in the water? Insane. The umbrella fight in the rain? Absolutely iconic. Ji Chang-wook proves that he’s not just a romance king but also an action legend. Every scene with him is engaging, whether he's in combat mode or in more emotional moments.
On the other hand, Yoo In-na’s character mostly just cries throughout the drama. She does have some cute moments here and there, but the focus is definitely on JCW and his journey. If you’re looking for intense action scenes, political power struggles, and a sprinkle of romance, The K2 is a must-watch. Especially for Ji Chang-wook fans—this drama is all about him!

A Striking Drama with a Strong Female Lead
A strong female lead navigating the ruthless world of office politics? Sign me up! Agency delivers that main character energy with Lee Bo Young leading the charge. She flawlessly portrays a woman who works not only harder but smarter. She hides her vulnerabilities behind an unshakable exterior. Watching her take on a male-dominated industry and come out on top is incredibly satisfying.The office power plays and strategic battles keep the drama engaging, making it a must-watch for anyone who enjoys workplace dynamics. While the second lead romance adds a softer touch, it lacks the sparks to truly stand out.
If you love dramas where a strong woman dominates the corporate world, faces off against powerful men, and rises to the top, Agency is definitely worth your time!

Second Leads Shine More Than the Main Leads
This was the first K-drama I ever watched, and I went into it without any prior knowledge of the actors. However, it quickly captured my attention and kept me engaged. The storyline was decent, and the romantic moments were genuinely heartwarming. While the main leads were great, it was the chemistry between the second leads that truly stood out for me—this drama is the definition of second-lead syndrome. The story unfolded nicely, balancing humor and lighthearted moments, with the leads portraying their roles well. The second lead also delivered outstanding performances. The story is a bit dragging at times; it was hard to believe he could not recognize her without makeup. But if you overlook certain things, it was an enjoyable watch.Was this review helpful to you?
A Perfect Blend of Romance and Thrill - An Engaging Watch!
This drama is a gem—I never felt the need to speed through a single episode. The character development of both leads is beautifully done, and their journey from strangers to friends is heartwarming. Food truly brings people together in the most unexpected ways!The side characters shine just as much, adding depth to the story. The mix of romance, thriller, and emotional moments is balanced perfectly, with the romance taking center stage while the mystery unfolds in the background, keeping the pace engaging. The male lead delivers a stellar performance, and even the second leads bring warmth to the story.
Additionally, the drama thoughtfully portrays school life, teenage romance, and the immense pressure students face. Crash Course in Romance is a must-watch—highly recommended!

A Wild and Chaotic Romance
When I started watching Crazy Love, I expected a classic enemies-to-lovers trope. With Krystal Jung and Kim Jae Wook in the lead, I was excited to dive in. However, after the first episode, my immediate reaction was, What did I just watch?—but oddly enough, I couldn't stop. Curiosity kept pulling me in.This drama is a mix of revenge, hilarious chaos, and endearing moments, with the leads constantly bickering (yes, even throwing onions and axes at each other—literally). If you're looking for a wild ride filled with madness, romance, and an unpredictable storyline, buckle up and go crazy with this one!

A Slow Burn Heartwarming Tale of Mature Love and Unwavering Support
I just finished *Love Scout*, and the overwhelming positivity in this drama makes it an absolute gem. What stood out to me the most was how it beautifully portrays women having the freedom to make choices, take the first step in relationships, experience struggles, seek support, and ultimately find a loving partner. It reinforces the idea that a woman can achieve anything she sets her mind to.At its core, this drama is about mature relationships and discovering that one person who truly becomes your pillar of strength. What makes it especially dear to me is the unwavering support of the male lead—Yu Eun Ho is the ultimate green flag, always standing by her side and respecting her decisions. That kind of emotional support is rare to see in dramas.
Everything ties up wonderfully in the end, with even the side characters finding fulfilling relationships. If you're in the mood for a slow-burn, mature romance with minimal twists—just pure, heartwarming storytelling—this is the one. Highly recommend!

A Heartfelt Second Chance at Love
Emergency Couple is a compelling drama for anyone who enjoys stories about divorced couples finding their way back to each other. As someone who’s drawn to this genre, I was immediately invested. The emotional depth, especially from the female lead’s perspective, is portrayed with sincerity—you truly feel the weight of her decision to walk away.What sets this drama apart is the rare depiction of a divorced male lead who grows, reflects, and genuinely attempts to reconcile. The story gracefully navigates their rekindled connection while weaving in their shared dream of building a career in medicine. The hospital setting adds an engaging backdrop, and the scenes—especially their heartfelt staircase conversations—are subtle yet impactful.
The romance feels mature and realistic, with awkward silences and lingering glances that reflect the complicated history between the leads. Despite the male lead's occasional toxic behavior, the narrative is constructed in a way that focuses on healing, understanding, and second chances. His jealousy, even post-divorce, adds layers to his character without overshadowing the emotional core of the story.
Overall, Emergency Couple is a satisfying watch for those who believe in rediscovering love after hardship. It shows that sometimes, love deserves a second try.

Dragged out Mystery with a Charismatic Lead
When the Phone Rings begins with an intriguing mystery but quickly loses its momentum. Personally, I found the drama slow and lacking the thrill it initially promised. The pacing felt dragged out—episodes could have been shorter and more tightly edited to maintain suspense. Midway through, I resorted to watching it at 2x speed just to get through it.The storyline fell flat, and the romance was underwhelming. The chemistry between the leads didn’t quite land, partly due to Hong Hee Joo’s overly innocent and youthful appearance, which didn’t match well with the male lead. It felt like grooming and that's unpopular opinion, as opposed to many who found their chemistry sizzling. It's all in the viewers perspective.
That said, the male lead is undeniably charming—his screen presence is magnetic, and his moments flaunting the wedding ring are definite highlights. I’d partially recommend this drama for him alone, but beyond that, there’s little that stands out.
