I can understand why this show is a hit. She is the CEO and he is her secretary. The gender role reversal compared to Secretary Kim is amusingly handled. The man handles everything even beyond his job description so well that it is funny. From cooking to protecting. Plus Lee Jun Hyuk always looked sharp in a suit since City Hunter and Are you Human. Like a perfect wife and husband in one. Han Ji Min is good at giving life to her no nonsense CEO character. She is smart and not a frustrating person. She says things quickly and deals with issues decisively. She has a nice hairstyle that suits her.

The premise for them to be together is good. No messy in laws and she was also from a single parent household so she understands him and his daughter.

The various clients stories are quite interesting. Makes you appreciate what a headhunter has to do.

A few flaws. Some of the other characters storylines are a bit weak at times. Like the aunt raising her niece as her son and the young director. The office humor is strained sometimes as in most kdrama office shows they have to exaggerate to create excitement. This is a watchable show.

I really enjoyed till the 4th episode cant wait for the 5th episode. The main thing i like about the drama is the cast, the main leads acting was phenomenal. To be honest i didn't have high expectation for this drama but after i watched it i fell in love with it. The story is the same as in any other romantic drama but i don't why i like this K drama i think it is because of the cast, Lee Jun-hyuk and Han ji min's acting was phenomenal i really loved it, ngl their were some emotional parts which was unnecessary. It caught me off the bat when i saw the first episode. Wanna give special thanks to the director who made the script and the story.

I REALLY LIKED IT BUT DEPENDS ON THE PERSON **THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION**

In an era marked by intense dramas like "Squid Game," "All of Us Are Dead," "Sweet Home," and "Hellbound," "Love Scout" stands out as a refreshing and heartwarming series. It takes viewers back to the days of classic, cliché dramas. The writing is solid, avoiding anything excessive or extravagant.

The story revolves around a hard-working CEO and her secretary, who is a single father. The supporting characters add a delightful touch to the drama. The chemistry between the leads is satisfying to watch, and the male lead is quite handsome. Additionally, the child actor portraying his daughter delivers an impressive performance.

This series consists of just 12 episodes, making it a perfect, light-hearted escape from our daily lives. It's definitely worth a watch. Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts. I hope you have a wonderful day!

I just finished the final episode and though not perfect, overall, the drama can be well recommended.

CEO Kang Ji-yun's character development is very well-written. I always loved a strong independent woman which she really was. I love that she was dominant but not over the top. She knows how to dominate but not make Eun ho feel less because she can also show her affection. She's cold at the beginning but a very hardworking CEO. Her storyline will really make you root for her! She's definitely one of the best characters with the best development I have come across in KDrama.

Yu Eunho is like a disney princess. He looks fragile but strong. Soft but manly. He's too good to be true. A perfect man any woman would wish they can have! (Which makes me really think since they didn't really touch the issue much why they divorced with her first wife-his college sweetheart-when Byeol was less than a year old. I was thinking-postpartum? Hmm.) Anyway, I love his relationship with her daughter very much. Byeol look up to him with so much admiration and pride. Every child deserves a role model like that. And Eunho's relationship with Jiyun is very well developed as the show progressed. I love how mature their relationship is. No unnecessary conflicts, only understanding and supporting each other. They act their age.

But one of my best story arc for this drama for me is Byeol and Jiyun's relationship. I love how they fit each other so well like a puzzle. It's like Jiyun is healing her inner child through Byeol, and Byeol having found a mother figure she definitely deserves. One of the reasons this review is only 8 is that I wish they showed a scene where Byeol called Jiyun her 'Eomma' and them living together.

Side characters, especially the people in Peoplez, are also fun to watch! I wasn't a fan of the villain characters but it was bearable. Good thing they didn't take too much screentime on the last episode.

Another reason why an 8 - I find some scenes to be a little too slow.. like walking or staring at each other for 3 whole minutes or so (yes, I timed it... it was that slow for me) BUT... it's not something Netflix's 1.25x or 1.5x speed can't fix. Lol

The actors and actresses, especially the main leads and the child, definitely gave justice to their characters. They were so great and their dynamics together are amazing! Byeol is sooo cute and so good!

Overall, Highly recommended! I would rewatch it again - though at 1.25 or 1.5x speed, and skipping the villains and company drama scenes.

Should be called Talent Scout. There isn't much love scouting, is there?

This was sold to me as something revolutionizing romance k-drama. It doesn't. It's got its good points but overall it's a mess of a script and not much in the way of character building. It's actually got so many of the minor tropes in the construction of scenes and even character dynamics. They only switched the genders, now you have the cold female CEO and the warm, kind-hearted secretary. How is that solving anything?

Manic pixie dream boy come secretary whose main purpose it to save the female lead from whatever trouble she gets herself into and adore her unconditionally and anticipate and cater to her every whim. He is the perfect father, boyfriend, and professional, all at the same time, without any protestation. Have you seen anything like it? Cause I haven't. Must be quite a sight. Of course, I forgot to mention he is also ridiculously attractive and attracted only to her, but that goes without saying. Sounds reasonable right? What is even more laughable is that his whole thing was that he suffered professionally because he put his kid first and had to neglect work, but when he comes to her company he can spend long nights at the office, and his child is miraculously not affected by it.

The work environment in the field of head-hunting is also not very believable, I am pretty sure things don't happen that way and that easily. These company employees are miracle workers sometimes. Of course they/she had to be faced with almost insurmountable obstacles in the form of industrial espionage and conspiracies and back-stabbing. Things could not be any worse, but somehow it is all resolved, and quite easily and quickly. And when it was all crashing down nobody thought of calling some lawyers for legal protection. Whole two episodes, you are being investigated for criminal offenses, nobody had a lawyer there. This is madness.

I know there is plenty of suspension of disbelief in k-drama, but some people are really pushing it. I'm no expert so it's easy to fool me, but at least make me believe it.

As for the structure and pacing, it felt rushed and shallow towards the end. They wasted so much time on the setup and her being unbearable that if left too little time for a believable relationship or a credible resolution to the company's problems.

This woman was so insufferable for so many episodes I was having trouble imagining how they would make them fall for each other. Again, I guess you gotta believe in it.

Compared to what it promised to be this it nothing more than six. In the large pool of k-drama rom-coms it's very mid, so seven. Did not like Han Ji-min here at all, but maybe any other actress would have been just as unlikeable.
