Boring show that drags. Romance is terrible and the leads character's are also terrible.

Semi-spoilers ahead, but not really.

I was not a fan of this show at all. The premise just was not it for me and they really dragged it out. It was a simple premise, ML get's injured in EP 1 due to an attack from an assailant (which the audience immediately knows who it is, but the characters do not) and afterwards he cannot recognize peoples faces. He can only see the FL when she wears a specific outfit. Due to circumstance, she acts as another girl during a blind date and the ML falls for both his secretary and the blind date who are the same person. I do not consider this a spoiler because this happens early on and it is the premise of the show; hence the title "Her secret life as another person". As a viewer, you obviously know this is not going to end well and once the ML learns the truth, it's going to be a lot of melodrama. The problem is this drags out for the entire show up til almost the end. The side characters are not interesting either.

This is one of those shows where they show the audience everything while the character's themselves are clueless. The show did not have much comedic moments, the romance was not great as the entire thing is built on a lie and as a viewer you are just waiting for the truth to come out because you know it is not going to end well, but they drag it out and even after the truth is revealed the romance is not that great. There are not really any amazing scenes between the leads. Nothing in this show gets you emotional. You do not really feel for any of the characters as the FL is lying the entire show and the ML kind of acts pathetic. The ML is supposed to be extremely smart hence his nickname "mind reader" however the entire show he acts incredibly stupid. I do not think he had one moment where he looked cool or strong. He is basically clueless the entire show. He relies on the FL and gets pushed around by everyone. The ML does not even get revenge on the antagonist. He does not do any of the mystery solving, the cops do all the work and tell him what happened and the antagonists get redemption by saying I'm sorry.

Terrible story IMO. This show would have been much better with 8-10 episodes.
