Lighthearted and very funny
Seeing it was one of the highest rated shows on Viki, I decided to give this drama a shot.Overall, there isn't a thorough plot but comedic situations make it so worth to watch! Once you find out the truth about the kidnapping, there isn't much going on. But the characters and the naturalness make time slip so fast.
The acting was really good and the chemistry between the leads was spot on! Thankfully there were no love triangles.
Yes, I would rewatch at least the funny moments which are, I think, about 80-85%. Park Seo Joon's facial expressions made me laugh a lot!

This. Drama. Melted. My. Heart What can I say about this drama? It was simply beautiful and was honestly so captivating.
I almost finished the whole thing in one sitting.
I must stress on the fact that the chemistry between the two main love interests was ASTOUNDING. It felt so real and their romance was honestly the cutest.
I highly recommend this drama if you're looking for something cute and funny, but also something that has a little mystery. The conflict isn't very huge and although it takes time to resolve it, it isn't very unsettling or boring.
STORY
The plot line of this drama was great. it was nothing too complicated or hard to grasp, and the way the story evolves is good too because it is nothing very confusing or out of this world.
*Spoiler Alert*
I loved the introduction of many new characters through out the series and their roles in the drama was very well suitable for them! I must say watching the lead's brother come into the story as the "villain" (I wouldn't exactly call him that) was very hard to watch after seeing him play an opposite role in W.
The story had many elements of comedy, sweet romance, and also a bit cringe but its bearable. I will admit that there were times when I thought "oh perhaps this drama is truly overrated" or "wow this is too cringe" but trust me just hold on and keep watching.
CAST
Hands down WWWSK has the best cast I've seen till now!! All the characters are absolutely amazing and will have you laughing out loud. The two main leads, Yeong Joon and Kim Mi So had one of the best on screen chemistry I've seen in a while! So much that you've probably heard rumors of them dating in real life. Their romance was incredibly sweet and had me wanting more. I will personally credit Park Min Young and See Joon for such an amazing performance you can really see them pouring their souls into this drama and their acting is commendable!!
The best part about this drama is the side/supporting characters. I have so much love for them and they're the ones that made me fall in love with this drama. The leads parents, siblings, colleagues, friends ALL OF THEM ARE DAMN HILARIOUS and honestly this drama is only great because of their amazing contribution. I'd wanna give a special shout out to Yeong Joon's special friend/ relationship advicer President Park. He was definitely one of my favorite characters in this show because he's the type of friend everyone wants. And also shout out to Secretary Kim's colleague's who kept this show so so so lively and admirable! I loved the office cast so much.
MUSIC
This drama had such amazing OST'S!! I keep going back to listen to them over and over again. They really fit the mood of the drama and the timing is always perfect. It's especially amazing when there is a very cute scene going on and the most romantic OST is playing. I want to stress of this again, THE OST'S ARE BEAUTIFUL.
REWATCH
I think if I'm ever missing this drama (which I definitely will) I will surely come back for the sweet romance, PARK SEO JOON, and the comedy. This drama really made me wish that I'd grow older fast and work in an huge organization with an amazing office and a sweet love interest.
DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS DRAMA. It will make you laugh, cry, and smile.
I hope you love it as much as I do!

The plot was not complicated. It could be easily grasped by the viewers, even with its major conflict touching a dark and sensitive topic.
Park Min-young and Park Seo-joon as the main characters were the perfect choice. They delivered their respective characters so fluidly and naturally it was a delight watching them throughout the entire drama.
The drama was basically a bunch of cute, cheesy, and sweet rom-coms. A genre that's hard to pull off than most of us would think (as it can get too cringy if overdone). But that crew and the casts did spectacularly in the drama.
The comedy was definitely on point and wasn't exaggerated. I was having way too much fun watching it that I didn't realize the comedy was light and could easily turn cringy with one wrong move. But they did it so naturally you wouldn't even dare to cringe with the scenes. And to be able to tie a neat bow at the end was so clever. Not all dramas can give a good, if not great, and satisfying ending.
Overall, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim is a precious gem in the rom-com genre. An fresh and absolute delight to watch.

What they go through together
I really enjoyed watching the series,but if the CEO wasn't that cold,it was better because he is so cold that he doesn't let anyone around him and he wants to develop his case, he wants to find out who the girl he was kidnapped with is if he meets her. In the end he meets her but it will take some time to open up, he will catch deep feelings and he will want to do everything possible to spoil that personYes, he will spoil that person with a lot of love and a lot of money, because his love for someone is very expensive, it is worth as much as a big universe, so he wants to stay with that person to spoil him much longer from now on .Was this review helpful to you?

Classic Korean RomCom
What do I say about this other than it's amazing? The lead actors are phenomenal and their chemistry is NEXT LEVEL. This show is also hilarious. Both characters are funny in their own unique ways, and the comedy that comes about between them is even better.I hate that there is a character minimum on this website because sometimes all you really need to say is that a show is amazing. Everyone I've seen agrees. This is one of those rare dramas where I've not seen anyone dislike it. Except people who aren't really big KDrama fans or those who insist on applying modern day western values to Korean shows. Ugh.

Such a great rom-com!
We meet a narcissistic executive { Park Seo Joon } who rarely acknowledges the people around him because he’s so self-absorbed. He’s become successful in large part due to his capable secretary { Park Min Young } who’s worked diligently over the past 9 years. But when she informs him of her intent to resign so she can focus on herself, hilarity ensues. He’s determined to keep her by his side & she’s just as set on leaving. Who will win this battle of wills when hearts become involved?I absolutely love this. The quirky coworkers/friends, their families, the bromance… And then we have the Leads.
The ML & his *AURA* (iykyk) is hilarious! 😂 I love his self-confidence that makes him such an amusing fool. It’s good he never loses that belief in his own awesomeness.🙃 And his unwavering pursuit of the FL is swoon worthy. He goes all out to win her affection & I rooted for him 100%.
The FL is just as spectacular & the perfect balance to his oddities. But she’s got her own brand of crazy which is so fun to watch. They compliment each other so well! I loved her strength. She was respectful & stayed kind with the ML even when he was not so nice to her (though he was never intentionally cruel, just clueless!) And I love how she comes to appreciate his many quirks.
They have a beautiful love story born from a childhood bond (seriously, their past connection? One of the best I’ve seen!) Their chemistry makes me melt.🔥🫠 They’re wholly devoted - a wonderful OTP who give all the feels. 💕

The story is not as straight forward as it seemed to be at the start. It has its own twists and turns! :) It just became so lovable because of the two main characters. I believe that the actors were perfect for their roles. Their acting was spot on. I love how exaggerated and funny PSJ was here! After watching him beat people in both Hwarang and Fight for my way, this was a good choice for him! I also like it that the other characters got their own sub-stories as well! :) I love it when dramas can make me laugh and cry at the same time. However, in the case.. it's more of the laughter rather than the tears! ;)
Please watch it if you want to feel good! ^_^

Smile ear to ear while watching
I thoroughly enjoyed this series.Yeong Joon's arrogance is masterclass!! Park Seo Joon pulls it off rather well!! I was enamored with PSJ before but his turn as the Vice Chairman made me love him all the more. The Vice Chairman is so obnoxious but it's hilarious. His antics would normally get on my nerves but PSJ is so likeable all you can do is fall in love with him.
Park Min Young as Secreatry Kim Mi So was such a breezy, beautiful woman. I loved her too. I usually can't stand the FL is series like this but this show really surpassed my expectations. She was compentent and gave as good as the Vice Chairman gave. I really found the 2 of them charming, likeable and loveable. The chemistry was off the charts!
The supporting cast at the office was so funny but President Park takes the cake. So funny and tried his best to help the Vice Charmain through his predicaments. The dialogue between President Park and the Vice Chairman had me on the floor most episodes.
The reason this series is not getting a 10 overall is b/c there was a small makjang plot in re the Vice Chairman's brother and a kidnapping that happened when they were children that also involved Secretary Kim.....WHAT????? Anyway, in my mind that part didn't happen!!
The Vice Chairman has some great one liners; wish I had kept more of them but these are 2 of my favorites:
When Mi So talks about ordinary he says "I've lived my whole life extraordinarily. I don't know what ordinary is like."
His friend tells him his face is full of love and he says "It used to be full of deadly attractiveness, and now love as well?"

Honestly, I didn't get my hopes up on the storyline but I actually enjoyed it. Seo Joon really fits his character and he is a natural. Furthermore, this drama made me realize how gorgeous and alluring Min Young is. Her skin and face is to die for, gosh. On the other hand, I was not that fond of the supporting characters that much as they are just also flirting. Overall, I like the drama but not that much as the story somewhat lack substance.

It is a good laugh
If you don't take this drama seriously, there is a lot of situational comedy and is very enjoyable. Prior to watching this drama, we watched a serious drama, so it was a quite a relief to watch this drama.There were several occasions when I (we.. ouri) were burst out laughing. It is very rare that we laugh in a comedy.
Hwang Bo Ra was totally hilarious.In fact, the whole team did an awesome job of acting.
I had watched Park Seo Joon in Kill me, Heal Me and I was impressed as to how he was able to play a whole different character. As a character, he was totally unrecognizable.
Similarily, Park Min Young did an excellent job of portraying various emotions: From walking with confidence, to cute girl friend, to a sexy vixen.
The conflict between the brothers and the trauma was weak. For me, it was difficult to believe the explanation behind as to who was victimized. I wish, the screen writer could have imagined a better story line of the antagonist. Come on!! A good drama always need a powerful antagonist.
We enjoyed this drama and I highly recommend it from a comedy perspective. If you are looking for very romantic drama that has you emotionally involved then this one is not for you.

Acting: I mean, casting Park Seojoon and Park Minyoung as the lead roles? There was no way that the acting could be anything but amazing. Both actors portrayed the original webtoon characters incredibly well, and their chemistry was also commendable!
Rewatch value 10/10
I like legal dramas. I'm starting to like melodramas. But i'm not some saddistic fucker who only watches heart wrenching dramas or intense dramas. I need feel-good shows too and this show is the best representation for it. Even with the cliches and the cringy flashbacks, I would still rewatch this any day.
