Objectively not a bad drama, just not my cup of tea.

What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, is a romantic comedy that follows four couples (all with varying screen times) and their daily life. It tried to be a little spicy by adding some light angst to it, but they probably should have left the traumatic past out of it as it didn't get enough screen time devoted to actually matter.

This drama would have been greatly benefitted by ending at episode 12, but they definitely tied up all the loose ends, and finished their character development. It was just a little dragged out in my opinion. There are a lot of sweet and funny moments throughout this, but it is by no means a riveting series. The chemistry was stronger between the side couples than the main couple even though we get our fair share of steamy kisses. I love the two main leads in other dramas, but I'm not sure they meshed together well in this one.

What I did like was that this is certainly a learning and development drama. WWWSK addresses the growing pains that happen in a first (or any) relationship, how important it is to compromise, and that understanding in a relationship is key. The acting is done well, but it was a pretty flat ride for me.

All in all, not bad if you're looking for something light and sweet, but it probably won't keep you glued to your seat.
