What's Wrong with Secretary Kim (2018)

Another show low rated here that is really good!

Here is another show on here that is low rated yet on VIKI it is a 9.7/10! 🙄 Not sure why people rate it low because this was one of the best shows around! I have watched it twice now and the story gets better each time!

The story line was really good! The main actor has something traumatic happen in his youth but the brother feels guilt (for leaving him behind) and takes it on himself that it was him that it happened to while the other brother suffers in silence and bears the scars to keep his family together. The main actress also experienced the same trauma yet forgets it.

You will have to watch it! The story is really good and well put together. The acting was perfect. It is heartwarming and perfectly told. OST is really good to! I have almost 400 songs from these dramas downloaded and this is one I listen to over and over again!

Don’t trust the ratings and go watch it your self! It is a great show!

I’m... speechless.

This drama is so amazing, I can’t even use words to describe it!

I would give it an infinity out of 10 if I could!

I couldn’t put down my iPad for the whole 3 days that I was binge-watching this!

This is my second kdrama that I’ve watched and I just want to make a few main points on why this drama is actually amazing and why you should most definitely watch it!

1) This drama has an incredible storyline, especially when things that you don’t expect start happening. The storyline flows incredibly well, and even if it switches to another scene, it is somehow related to the previous scene, which I love. Now, I won’t say what, but there are tons of scenes like that in this drama, which really make me happy because I love it when something unexpectedly good happens! :)

2) The scenes are filmed with extraordinary actors and actresses and the quality of this drama as a whole is extraordinary. I can’t describe how amazingly well this drama is filmed as a whole. The scenes work well together and the cohesiveness of the entire cast is amazing. I think that because the main characters have such a high level of chemistry between them, it makes the drama seem so realistic, instead of feeling like it is fake. I really congratulate all the cast and the crew on this!

3) There’s nothing better than a romcom to watch. This has amazing romantic scenes but also has hilarious scenes, which is a great combination. I’m so impressed with this combination! No matter what happens in the drama, there is always romance and comedy intertwined among each other.

4) The Perfect Secretaries team is amazing. They are the team of subbers for English which make this drama so enjoyable. Because I’m not Korean, the subtitles have helped me so much. I’ve learnt some Korean, which makes me proud that I can learn something new while having fun watching a drama! Thank you Perfect Secretaries!

5) The editing of this is outstanding. This drama doesn’t feel like it’s been over edited, but it feels natural to watch. Some dramas can seem under edited and some dramas feel like they’ve been over edited, which makes me enjoy it less, but the editing team for ‘What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim’ is an amazing team and I’d just like to thank them for that!

6) The selection of characters and cast are amazing. The cast have really adapted to the characters of the drama, which I think is an excellent things to have in a drama. There’s no doubt that Park Min-Young fits the role of Secretary Kim and there’s also no doubt that Park Seo-Joon fits the role of Vice Chairman. All of the other characters like Section Chief Bong, Secretary Seol, President Park, etc. were amazing in the drama as well! All the characters have such amazing personality traits, which the actors and actresses took on amazingly well!

7) The OST is legendary! I especially love the songs which fit the moments and I love the theme song a lot! Especially when it’s put with the video! Every song produced for this is amazing and I’m really happy to see that the crew reached out to different singers and groups for a different vibe.

Overall, this drama is incredibly well made and I’d even like to see another season with the same cast. I know it’s unlikely for it to happen but I’d really like it if there were another season, because of the amazing quality and the amazing cast and crew of this drama. I honestly cannot express how much I love this drama and I will most definitely keep rewatching the drama because of the main points listed above! Thank you, ‘What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim’!

What's Wrong with Secretary Kim (2018)

Super fun premise although it felt like it dragged on for a bit longer than it needed to. Also, it felt a bit too similar to male lead actor Park Seo Joon's previous show just a few years prior- She Was Pretty (2015).

Contrary to a lot of other reviews, I thought the main couple's chemistry was fine enough. They played off each other well, the romance was convincing enough, and they went through their own trials and tribulations to come out stronger, cuter, and more in love with another. Park Min Young played a playfully serious secretary and Park Seo Joon played, again, a cool perfectionist yet goofy CEO archetype. The boss-employee dynamic was fine for the most part, though it felt a bit too tipped in the boss' scale.

The side characters and subplot were... okay? Without a doubt the clear cut focus of the show was the development of the leads so any side characters didn't have much to work with. The "big bad evil" plot point was oddly dark but I appreciated it. Some parts were played safely and some parts were unnecessarily bloated, but again, fine for the most part.

Even after the show was over and the dust had settled, we never got the true answer to the question: what's wrong with secretary Kim?

Goofy, sweet office romance

The defining office rom-com of modern K-drama: The world’s most perfect secretary (she is who I want to be when I grow up) works for the world’s most perfect boss (who is work- and self-absorbed to the point of not really noticing anyone else). The drama starts when, after 10 years of dedicated service, Secretary Kim suddenly announces her resignation. The boss is shocked. He immediately decides that he must figure out why she is leaving and somehow stop her. Why would she leave the perfect boss? What could have caused this so out-of-the-blue? More importantly, how can he convince her not to go? Which leaves us asking the more important question: Why can’t he let her go so easily? Well…the answer may be more personal than he wants to admit. (hint-hint, wink-wink) A traumatic childhood backstory involving a psychotic kidnapper and suicide is thrown in for the tension of it all, and there’s also a cute CEO’s brother/famous author/love rival to round out this classic series. Quote of the show: [a post-it note reminder on the female lead’s desk] “Think coolly (cool head); feel warmly (warm heart); run like your feet are on fire.”

Loved It

This drama was such a fun watch, didn't have much expectations started to watch for Min Young as I had loved her character and acting in the drama "her private life". Some of the dialogues were very funny...this is my first Park Seo Joon drama and he absolutely nailed the character so did Park Min Young...I liked the story, as it had no unnecessary drama's, fights and misunderstandings, matters and issues got resolved swiftly ...it was kind of real...how a couple in love would try & resolve issues... I liked the fact that story revolved around the main two leads (no second leads), although a brother was introduced his role was kind of rushed, which I guess was required for the plot. There were some sweet & hot kissing scenes, the main couple had lot of chemistry - of course it had a happy ending! Would love to see them together in another drama.

My heart...
my poor poor single heart.
This show was no masterpiece, but for some reason, I found myself immediately jumping from one episode to the next. One of the reasons this could be is due to how unique this basic storyline is. It's confusing... I know... but I don't know how else to explain it. So let me organize it....

Story 〆(・∀・＠): Here is where I am a bit confused. The story is a sweet classic romance between an arrogant CEO and his always reliable secretary who decides she wants to leave. Of course, romance ensues blah blah blah... but at the same time, it's so much more than that. The plot is unique in the ways that it's driven by things that happened in the past rather than a forwarding present conflict. So much of the characters and why they do things stems from what happened in their childhoods. I have yet to encounter a plot quite like this one in that regard. Another thing is that it's a mystery that I couldn't figure out for the life of me. In most shows, unless it's specifically written as a show with a lot of twists and secrets, I can usually figure things out pretty fast. And with romances, I can generally puzzle their quick little mysteries after one or two episodes. But with this show, I genuinely couldn't figure things out until the very end, which was incredibly refreshing for me. It's true that I could just be an idiot and couldn't figure it out, but I was indeed on the edge of my seat (not in a thriller way but in the way of wanting to find out more). This show also twists a whole bunch of tropes to make them more enjoyable for me. Making the rich family the more accepting group and making the arrogant CEO into the more understanding one between the two leads, are both examples of things that were changed much to my liking. I'll admit that this show is a.... well... it definitely a romance! There were so many cute scenes that just had me crying to myself. A lot of those added moments were definitely added in with fan service in mind. Towards the end of the show, it became VERY romantic, which is something I love, so I didn't have any issue with it for even a second. But even if you are a romance fan, if you're not one that enjoys cheesy scenes, then there might be a few moments of struggle for you. Again, it's a show that's very romantic... not just regular romantic. Something I love, but I know might want to be warned about.

Acting ｡゜(｀Д')゜｡: Ahhhh the acting!!! Where do I start!? fuuu okay! I love both the main lead actors to death. I have seen quite a few works with Park Min-Young and Park Seo-Joon as the leads, so when they came together.... let's just say I loved them before the show started. Seo-Joon has this way of making you fall in love with his arrogant and jerky characters, while Min-Young is not only stunning but has a face that can pull off various amounts of emotions. Both of them came in with their characters and made you feel heartbroken when they had to leave. Their chemistry was flawless and made my single self feel shamed. But it wasn't just the main two that brought the heat, but it was all the side characters around them. I can wholeheartedly say that I fell in love with each member of the office. They each had their own personalities, and the actors made it look like they were enjoying every second of it. Some went over the top while others were more silently quirky, but the differences between them made each of their subplots so much more enjoyable to follow. (My heart goes out to Kim Ji-Ah. I loved that character so much for some reason!)

Music ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪: duh duh duh here comes the boring part of the review! Or at least for me anyway.
I hate repeating myself with the shows I review, but this is all I can say: happy songs at happy times while sad songs during sad times. No off-putting music was put in, and everything worked together nicely. They added a nice feeling to each of the scenes, but I never paid attention to them. They were extremely basic and were something I'd never want to listen to in my free time. The one thing that was funny to me was that one of the songs kept repeating a word that sounded like a particular curse word. I'm not going to say it since I couldn't find anybody else who thought the same.... so I guess it's just my dirty mind. It was funny regardless though XD

Other (ง°ل͜°)ง: Office workers. I haven't watched as many shows that center around them, and the ones I have always angered me just a tiny bit. The CEO is always wealthy from the money he makes at his company, but at the same time, I never see him work. It's always him sitting at his desk (maybe reading a paper or two), but usually, he's thinking or doing something with the female lead. That's one thing that I can reeeeallly appreciate. The CEO was actually working!! In fact, one of the main conflicts both the leads had was how they manage their relationship within their work setting. Even though the CEO had a few moments of just wanting to hang out with his secretary, it never overtook him, and he still was able to get some work done, which is a small detail I found myself appreciating. Other than that, the work environment was very comforting. The characters were a bit more dramatic than I presume regular office workers are, but I always found myself enjoying the office scenes the most. I could watch a drama on what goes on there. Something that definitely contributed to my love for the show.

Would I say that this is my favorite show? No.
But I can assure you that I'll be rewatching a few moments over again through YouTube. One of the show's main beauties was that it's a basic plot with an underlying secret that I couldn't figure out. But now that I know, I doubt that I'll want to watch it again. But even with that said, it's a perfect show for just wanting something fluffy and romantic. It's nothing too serious and makes you feel good the entire way through.
So even though it isn't my favorite, it's definitely up there in the ranks for me.
Happy watching <3

!!MY OPINION. I’M POSITIVE EVERYONE WILL NOT AGREE!!


I started to watch “What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim” and the first thing I have to say is that the story has a slow start. I watched it and it didn’t catch my attention at first and I got bored. I’ve read a lot of reviews on it and they said it was good, but honestly, I’m getting bored and I’m taking forever to finish it because of that. If the drama is really interesting to me, I would finish it in like 3 days or so. I will continue the drama because I’m not the type that would start a new one without finishing the previous drama that I’m on.

SUNGYEON BIG BARF

i read the comments talking about how they watched 11 and skimmed through 12-16
LOL me too i just went looking for plot and dropped it near the end of 15
!!SPOILER!!
specifically when sungyeon acted all nicey when talking abt miso and whether or not youngjoon proposed to her 🤨 big barf ew
what is wrong w his character bro
the writers made him such an asshole and they tried to save it?? just let him rot please
i get it he was guilty, he was a child, but the “culprit” in a sense shd hv never, under no circumstances, take the position of the victim and blame the victim as if they were the culprit
that is disgusting and unforgivable, literally the worst thing you cld do,, and he had the balls to continue blaming others even after finding out how he acted as a victim 🤮🤮🤮
anyways with all the plot, youngjoon’s character doesnt make sense at the start!! he was portrayed as a complete narcissitic fool who just had random women around him
wasnt he hella mature as a kid?? to sacrifice himself and act as a culprit for the sake of the family?? he then proceeded to become an idiot after growing up?? where did the mature dude go?? did he like reverse grow LOL
and in the later episodes where they showed adult him who was still into miso, tht was not how he acted like at the start
COMPLETE DISCONNECT IN CHARACTER IMO
he liked her but apparently he proposed to her and all tht stuff just to stop her from resigning and he wasnt sincere??
the plot was okay but it was just weird that it was a rim-com
omg a kid was kidnapped for 3 days and saw a lady off herself in front of him and suddenly its just romantic laughing side couples
it was just weirdly wayyyyyyy too bright for such a dark backstory??

Such a boaring drama . I cant imagine how this one got high ratings with this poor plot . I feel like this is written by including seens from some popular dramas . Nothing special . Same characters , famous author who didnt like to come to public and hidden his true identity still unexpectedly meet with ML and falling love, unnecessary love triangle .
Main couple love story flowing very boaring and silly way. They were working 9 years together still when they meet eyes to eyes they are getting very shocked excited , uncomfortable and all. It will be ok for the school dramas or teenagers couple . But here this acting I feel unnatural and not realistic.
Acting is so so, there is nothing much to appreciate but not bad . honestly I feel they dont have much to do. From the beginning it started well but after two or three episodes its got very boaring , everything are very predictable.
Normally Im not a dropper . But this one I cant move on. Every seen and dialogues are same . That rich boyfriend doing all the fancy things I saw that seens in a several dramas (secret garden , boys over flowers , masters sun) but in a better way.
As mentioning the beginning ML is a genius and over smart , but I cant feel it. Some dramas we can feel that vibe from ML. As a example masters sun ML. I think his secretary is the one who having master brain and taking all the wise decisions. And that stupid best friend who having a high post in company . Office environment is such a waist not looks like a professional office . Only office building looks very elegant. These all are very disappointed character set up for me. Actually I expected much more than this .
