A solid workplace romance

8.5/10 is my rating. This is a 2018 South Korean Drama spanning 16 episodes (~60 minutes/episode). The female lead is played by Park Min-young. Kim Mi-so (Park Min-young) has been secretary to Lee Young-joon (Park Seo-joon) for 9 years and feels like it has consumed her life. Vice Chairman, as Secretary Kim mostly calls him is narcissistic, handsome and very capable but also very difficult to work with. Overly the 9 years they both have developed feelings for each other though neither fully realizes it. When Secretary Kim announces she is going to resign, it is a wake up call for both. There is also a mystery surrounding the childhood of both.

Spoiler ? I really liked this one. The plot was relatively simple although there were the love triangles, friend groups and side romances. There was also a bit of mystery and flashbacks to childhood. The child characters were adorable and amazing at acting for children so young. It was cute to watch the romance develop. Secretary Kim would annoy me sometimes because she could be very insensitive to Vice Chairman's feelings. She was also more “chaste” than is even usual in this culture and I would feel frustrated for him. But it was really good. They looked perfect together and the male lead character evolved quickly to be super sweet.
