good start ..boring end
I saw many positive reviews so I decided to give it a chance.the start was really good, nothing innovative, but a good story line.
the main female lead works as a secretary for the main male lead. she realises her whole life is committed to her work with little time left for her personal life.
when she communicates her will to leave the company the main lead slowly realises he cannot live without his precious secretary.
it could have been a good starting point, but forward in the story, it's clear that he was already in love with her from the very beginning. he hired her specifically because of their shared past. so, the whole "I don't know why I don't want to let her go" from the very first episodes doesn't make any sense.
the plot thickens when we discover that the protagonists were both held captive as kids by the same woman and developed an "obsession" for lack of better words, about finding the other kid that shared a traumatic experience with them.
after the first half of the series which includes the "kidnapped" plotline, the drama becomes really boring. nothing of substance really happens and the protagonists only talk about how much they love each other. the " slow motion falling into his arms scenes" are unnecessary copious.
the only good thing about this drama is that if you are a fan of the main actor, you won't be disappointed. he s undressed in many scenes, acts cute, talks how a "perfect romantic boyfriend " should talk.
if you are looking for a "cheesy drama" with lot of kisses this drama will do .
overall all is not "bad" but it drags out for too long.
I finished "crazy love" before this and It was much more fun and entertaining.

The drama that got me into kdramas!
What's wrong with secretary Kim one of my first kdramas. I loved everything about this kdrama and the chemistry between the 2 main leads is not describable. They're married in my head to be honest. But I definitely recommend this kdrama if you are a beginner because the plot if really good. And if you like this kdrama and are trying to find something similar to this than business proposal or crazy love. Is kinda similar I hope you enjoy watching this kdrama as much as I did!Was this review helpful to you?

This drama had everything and It was extremely wild! You learn that the boy from Kim Mi So's childhood was a boy she met once, who had saved her when they were both kidnapped (when you get to the episode, it was an emotional rollercoaster). After that traumatizing night, the young boy that saved her never returned, and she has been searching for him ever since. On the other hand, we have Vice Chairman Lee, who we find out is the young boy who was kidnapped with Kim Mi So, and after saving Kim Mi So and going back home, never recovered from the incident. Lee would have nightmares about the woman who had captured both of them and because of this, was never able to form a connection with another woman. But there is one thing on his mind ever since he got home and it was to go back and find the little girl to see if she was ok or if she was suffering like he was. Unfortunately, her house was soon demolished and he was never able to keep her promise and come back for her. Lee then spent his whole life trying to figure out where the little girl went until one day he recognizes her interning at his family's company and hires her to be his secretary. Unfortunately, Kim Mi So doesn't recognize him, but Lee takes this as a great sign that she wasn't suffering like he was and decides to not tell her who he was.This drama was so much more than just two coworkers falling in love with each other. It was a story about a boy who had fallen in love with a girl when he was young and searching his whole life to be with her, even if it wasn't romantic, and always protect her. This story was about a man who wanted Kim Mi So to live in a world filled with love even if he couldn't tell her who he was to her.
Also, one little note. Whoever wrote to script for this show...especially the person who wrote all of Vice Chairman's lines should deserve an Oscar or whatever award is given for this position. Even though Vice Chairman Lee came off as this arrogant self-centered butt at the beginning of this series, after watching every episode and going back, you realize that it was all strategically written. We chose to interpret it one way when it could be interpreted in many. Lee, by far, is one of my favorite drama boyfriends. Not going to lie, he def is giving my bae, Xiao Nai from Love020 a run for his money. You realize his arrogance is actually not completely real and it is just part of his charm and humor. And I know, I know, drama boyfriends are not real and watching these dramas are giving men this unattainable expectation, but honestly, every girl deserves to find someone in their life as much as Vice Chairman Lee loved Kim Mi So. Like, it is not fair.

This has turned out to be one of my favorite dramas I have ever seen...and now that I've seen well over 100 dramas, that's saying something.

Iconic romcom
This is such an iconic drama in the romcom genre! Many cliches of course but that didn’t bother me at all as I love romcom as well as all the actors in this. Recently rewatched it and it’s safe to say it’s one of my favorites of all time😍I watch a lot of cdramas as well as kdramas, and the production quality of this compared to some other shows out there is no joke. It’s wonderfully high quality just like the story and cast! The more dramas I watch the more I wish other dramas lived up to the standard of this one.
The chemistry is also off the charts which makes it all the better. I also love the character of kim mi soo and how she’s always professional and amazing at her job! Competent and ambitious female leads are the best!!😁

One of the best in ROMCOM
Yes this is indeed one of the best drama in ROM com. Many people might comment that this drama is boring and no story and all but I liked it very much. The story has a unique turns and also has some good twists. This drama not only has comedy but also has family and little bit of sad. This is a drama with mixture of emotions in it. I think this was my second drama to watch it was the best. So I also recommend this to kdrama beginners. Next the cast with Park seo joon (the romcom prince) and fl with Park min Yong was best. Then the ost's or the music is also good there are song which are melodious and have emotional touch. So at last I recommend you all to watch this drama and enjoy.Was this review helpful to you?

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.
