What's Wrong with Secretary Kim (2018)

I read a review stating that everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this immediately and I did as I was told and live with no regrets. This show was absolutely amazing, twist and turns everywhere, a love that was so completely pure I’ve never been more happy to see. And a fairy tail ending that you wouldn’t even believe even though you can predict most of it. I’m literally so Happy with this show and how it turned out and the characters were amazing, every single one. This show was just extremely wonderful and is probably definitely one of my top 2018 shows and I'm so glad I was able to watch it and come back to it. I literally can't stress enough how much I love the two main leads together and even though the story was a little funky, the chemistry was wonderful and the stories were wonderful and the love all around the love was just amazing to me and everyone should be watching this show at least 9 times like I have because there's not a bad thing about this show.

This drama is highly enjoyable despite the overused story of Kdrama about chaebol falling in love with someone who is not rich. Well, the difference is there are no snobbish and irritating rich parents, no villains to give you a heart attack, instead, its a solid drama on its own with humor and story to follow.

I like the chemistry of the two leads, they look good together and both maintain with certain charm throughout the show. It’s fun to watch Park Seo-Joon as a narcissistic character but who is naive about dating and love. I couldn’t imagine anyone else but him for this drama. Park Min-Young is quite impressive too, she just nailed her character as a secretary who is ideal and professional but struggling to enjoy her own personal life.

I recognize also the other side characters who liven up the atmosphere. Some of them are quirky, weird and yet it serves good support to the show to be a comedy relief.

Story-wise, I disagree with what other people said that it was dragging. I find the pacing fast and a balance from lighter to dark without overshadowing the funny sides until they wrap up it nicely.

Yes, it was predictable after the first few episodes and regardless of the plot that wasn’t grand enough to ponder, I still enjoy this one. I never got bored of this show, definitely worth fun to watch.

I really liked this one it was really good, all the characters were quite interesting and even the side characters and stories were really cute. I think their romanced developed really well, especially with him finding out he liked her. I also think that although they definitely could’ve gone down the route of staying on the last backstory for much longer than they had, they didn’t. For me, it was the perfect amount of drama and balanced out overall cuteness. If they had gone down the route of staying on the drama for copious amounts of time that would’ve been difficult to watch, particularly because what happens to them was actually quite serious and what he experienced was indeed quite dark.

Don't expect much

It was fun at first, give me curious why secretary Kim has to quit her job. Her boss act like a Narcissus that I seem funny but after watch more episode it so light, the plot is easy to guest that the male lead is a rich guy and bad memories when he was kid and now he falls in love with his secretary and don't want to lose her but what he act toward her make me roll my eye, a lot of nonsense act, too predictable and so childish to be honest. The story telling make me bored and bored so I skip a LOT! and cannot finish this drama. Something doesn't feel right even supporting role. Unnatural and overacting is a word I gave to this drama.

Overrated!

Unfortunately, I stopped watching Secretary Kim in the middle of episode 6. Between the two similar dramas, I much prefer Business Proposal which was much funnier and faster paced. I didn't feel the chemistry between the two leads and story development was slow. Since there were no second leads in this drama, the whole drama needs the main leads characters to really develop.

I tend not to be able to relate to the rich guy/poor girl relationship. Can't imagine to be able to reserve the entire amusement park to woo a date.

The drama would be better if the drama just starts with Secretary Kim quit the company and the male lead tried to win her back. This kind of boss/employee romance can be considered sexual harassment nowadays.

Meh. Overrated.

I don't understand why viewers liked this show. Aside from the Female Lead is pretty and her clothes look really good, there's nothing really there. The Male Lead is far from being a narcissist. It's just a typical boy hates girl romcom. I tried my best to finish the series but I had to drop it. Sorry but it was a waste if time trying to appreciate it.



For 500 characters requirement:

The series revolves around the narcissistic Lee Young Joon, the vice president of a company run by his family. He is very self-absorbed and thinks highly of himself, so much that he barely acknowledges the people around him. Lee Young Joon has a capable and patient secretary Kim Mi So who has remained by his side and worked diligently for 9 years without any romantic involvement. However, Mi So now wants to set her life & focus on herself so when she decides to resign from her job, hilarious misunderstandings ensue. After 9 years of their strictly-workplace relationship, can it now develop in something more?

I hated this drama with all my self. I was shocked about how many good reviews this drama had, so I decided to give it a chance since it was everywhere on the internet. I wasn't able to see it after the 6th episode. The cast is really good. but the story is the same as many others (the rich lead, the beautiful woman, a lot of money and a dark past), nothing new or intriguing. With a similar cast, they would probably make a way better storyline than a bunch of yet seen things...
Absolutely, for me, isn't worth the time...

If you like romantic comedies, you might like this drama. If you don't, don't even try to watch it.

The case is that I DO love romantic comedies and, maybe it's because I haven't watched that many kdramas and the cliches don't bother me that much, but I really enjoyed this.

It was fun, fluffy, cheesy, full of cliches and way over the top and I loved every single minute of it. The plot is really light and simple (even though they try to throw some "mystery" plot that isn't that mysterious), the acting is great, the chemistry between Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young is amazing (I love the bickering between their characters) and the whole cast have great comedic timing (Kang Ki Young really shines in that aspect).

As I said, I enjoyed it a lot and I had a smile on my face through the whole drama and I value that.
If you want to have a good time, enjoy some romance, laugh a little and not think too much: this is your drama. If you're looking for something that's not that... maybe look elsewhere.

What's Wrong With Secretary Kim was such a sparkling gem during my free time this summer. I'd call this drama a "manga adaptation done right."

Maybe I'm a bit generous with the 10-star rating, but I loved this from the beginning to the end. I'm a huge fan of rom-coms and good stories, and even though the plot of this series is not that unique, I think the characters and the side stories made this drama so much more enjoyable. The story was also fast paced, just like in the original manhwa. Some parts were cheesy and predictable, but made the drama very cutesy and even more delightful. I gotta give it to the actors because without them this show wouldn't be the same. Just like in every drama that he stars in, Park Seo Joon steals the spotlight with his brilliant acting and overflowing handsomeness. Even Park Min Young was the star of this drama - such a beautiful actress, this was THE BEST ROLE for her to play. There were just so many brilliant scenes that I could rewatch again and again. I relive this drama by listening to the OST as well - the songs are mesmerizing and really catchy.

I'm extremely happy that I decided to watch this drama and I'm sure that you'll feel the same after completing it. I might just have to read the original comic book now too because I still can't get over it!
