What’s Right with Secretary Kim? Almost everything except ...

What I liked : Our office romcom queen Park Min Young, the office shenanigans perfectly uplifting the humor, the supporting cast with their own storylines, progressive rich guy's family (without the typical 'protesting cliche against marrying into not the same financial status'). The first half of the drama is especially fun, with plenty of light-hearted moments that balance the sweet romance and comedic timings.

That said, there were a couple of things that didn’t quite sit well with me. First, the main lead's constant denial of their childhood connection got a bit repetitive and felt like it was dragged out unnecessarily. It’s like, we get it—just admit it already! The controlling jealousy of the main lead also felt a bit too much at times. I mean, the guy couldn’t even give his gf five minutes to talk to his brother, who she thought she had a childhood connection with, without dropping in and grabbing her. It wasn't endearing jealousy but rather borderline suffocating if this is normalized in society. I also wished FL's sisters had more developing arc besides feeling bad for her sister and accepting the guy into their family.

Despite these bumps and cliches, the drama is still a fun, engaging watch, especially if you're a fan of the office romance trope or if you are a newbie entering the kdramaland.
