The Secret Life of My Secretary

"I want to protect him.

If I can't do that as his woman, I want to do it as his secretary."

This series impresses with quite a heartfelt plot where two couples form despite an abundance of differences and misunderstandings.

There is drama concerning the CEO position since the first episode where the main character is almost killed.

The intrigues keep you busy guessing until the very last moment as all the secrets are only completely revealed at the very end of the series.

The series, while maybe sounding quite dark, is truly quite cute, though: Our dear secretary is a really nice, enduring woman who falls in love with her boss while getting to know him better as she pretends to be someone else. It really adds a sometimes humorous, sometimes extremely sad atmosphere to the story.

The tense relationship between her boss and his mother is understandable concerning the explained details, yet really regrettable. Hence, it was all the more wonderful to witness that final scene of his mother finally acknowledging him.

My personal favorite, however, is the side-couple of Veronika Park and the main characters best-friend. Their characters start out as quite plain and stereotypical, yet gain a lot of depht going further.

At first i thought it would be another cheesy cliche but as it went forward i felt its a whole new story with New characters and sweet moments actually after watching so mush k dramas i feel every thing is repetetive, but this one changed my mind also, when you watch a rom com usually some things doesnt make sense and things are somehow exaggerated but in this serie i can tell the story line was reasonable i wasnt bored while watching i really felt all the love and supportiveness in the characters beside their pains lead actor and actress were very lovable and sweet the characters garments were so proper for each character by the way i loved all do min ik suits. at the end it has all i want from a rom-com

What an original and cleverly written romance story. The topic of face blindness is cleverly woven into a romance between a secretary and her boss.

The cast is well chosen and attractive. Jin Ki Joo does a great job and looks quite different when dressed up nicely. Kim Young Kwang looks the part and has a goofy charm which suits the character of the boss with face blindness. The supporting characters are likeable for a change especially the awesome Veronica Park played by Kim Jae Kyung.

One of the best points is there isn't a love triangle here except with herself as the third party. There aren't frustrating parts or dull repetitive moments.

Liked this story more than Secretary Kim.

I was a bit dubious at the start, but it developed into an interesting and sweet storyline, with plenty of laugh out loud and total cringe-may-the-floor-open-up-under-me moments. The actors all were great, the plot moved along well (but more could have been done with the protest), and even OTT Veronica wasn't terribly annoying but was balanced out well with the rest of the cast. It's not a family drama, an office drama or a love triangle, just a good storyline with a satisfying ending. The mothers were all abusive though, verbally and physically which annoyed me. No one should put up with that behaviour.

Another romcom Kdrama which did not disappoint again. The story this time was quite different from the usual romcom we watch. I liked the FL's character and it was understandable why she did what she did but just wished she confessed earlier. The ML's character was quite enjoyable and loved how their romance unfolded.

AN unforgettable character is the amazing Veronica P-A-R-K! She rocked!! 🔥🔥 Every scene with her was stunning while I found myself sometimes waiting to watch her scene more than the main leads. The SFL was also not that bad, loved the secondary couple.

The kiss was mesmerising but I wished there were more romantic and fluffy scenes between the main leads in comparison to what we obtained, mostly for a 16 episodes Kdrama.

I really liked it, the mystery and story was interesting to watch and I am glad I did not rely on the previous reviews. It might not be a rewatch but for a one time it's worth it.
