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.

This was a winner for me! First off, the plot summary makes this show sound corny and boring, and that couldn't be further from how this show ended up being. The use of face-blindness was a very interesting and different twist to the pretty common office-romance type of show. The story was interesting and cute and the episodes were timed very well so there were no slow/boring episodes. The comedy was fantastic as well, with some truly funny moments that made me laugh out loud. The soundtrack was fitting but definitely did not stand out. The acting was fantastic, especially from our main couple. Veronica Park was an obnoxious/annoying character that eventually grew on me though, and the sub-plot with Dae-Joo definitely kept me guessing until the very end. Did I mention the leads had some amazing chemistry?? I did feel like Min Ik's backstory wasn't fully explained, but it didn't detract too much from my enjoyment. Overall this was a wonderful rom-com that I found incredibly enjoyable.

Note: Story involves physical disease.

Much like 'her private life', this one was sweet and heartwarming. Light on drama. Chemistry between leads very strong. Secondary leads also very cute and it was refreshing they weren't in a typical love triangle, rather than just having their own love story. Excellent character portrayal from Kim Jae-Kyung as Veronica Park. Looking forward to see her star in a drama in the future.

The secret life of my secretary was out about the same time as when her private life had finished.

The drama had an odd start and an even wierder plot description. And it almost looked like they couldn't pull it off, but they did. The whole drama, after episodes one and two at least, was really cute. The office drama was interesting, although towards the ending, it was boring. The couple, however, was cute. And the chemistry of the two leads was incredible and it helped the drama a lot. They had many cute moments and the love story was really good and intence.

Finally, the performances were good by everyone in the cast. But, the drama didn't have anything special to offer other than the love story. So, seven out of ten.

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.
