I didn’t take any notes while watching this, so no long ass review this time, but this was just okay.
The premise of a secretary who’s quitting her job and slowly falling in love with her boss over the course of her last month at the company is interesting, but the whole thing is dragged down by a forced mystery side-plot about childhood trauma.
Vice-president Lee is a narcissistic clown, and while the show explains why that is, it doesn’t make him a very likeable person. Hearing him talk about himself like he’s the most perfect person in the world is incredibly off-putting. Secretary Kim is a saint, as she’s been putting up with this shit for 9 years, and seeing her reward this behaviour with her love doesn’t sit right with me. It doesn’t feel earned. It feels bought.
It’s fun enough, and around the mid-season point there are a couple episodes which are really funny, but there are better, similar K-Dramas out there. Business Proposal, for example.

did anyone else hate this drama?
I don’t know what it was about this drama but it’s pained me to finish it! and the only reason I did it because I love park seo-joon so much.I found the female lead to be incredibly frustrating like if your leaving your job just leave!! and she never gave a clear reason why she was leaving
hated the kidnapping plot pointless and stupid and just another kdrama were they’re meant to be cause they knew each other as kids
the male lead was super controlling which was passed off as love!
awful

Just right!
My favorite K-drama ever! He's so adorably clueless and I love watching his character progress from narcissist to loving man. This series has it all - comedy, drama, mystery, romance, beautiful buildings and scenery, and off-the-charts chemistry between the two main characters. It's nice to watch something that doesn't have the obligatory terrible parent trying to keep the two apart. And this may be random, but the earrings she wore throughout were beautiful! I've watched this series at least four times.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

What even is this
I started it as I like office romance genre but when I started this I couldn't even finish this. Left it after watching 8 episodes and started watching Crash landing on you - best decision. Then I had nothing to watch so I thought to continue and then again I couldn't after 11 episodes. Even then some how I completed it. Waste of 16 hours. The character development of male lead is arrogant to less arrogant. The acting of female lead is useless even a coconut would act better than her - No expression, no acting nothing. They were in their 30's and acting like high school teenagers. The trauma - being kidnapped together and then the suicide because the kid said something is so stupid. The fear of spiders and cable ties ughhh so stupid. Couldn't even imagine what the writers were thinking. How is this even so highly rated kdrama. There are so many good kdramas. The side characters were good they kept the show going. It was so BORING. WHEN WILL THIS END was the only thought in my mind.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
It started with great momentum ...
I added this drama to my queue because of Park Min Young. I absolutely adore her. The first episode did not draw me in. Despite the comedic tones of character introductions, it really didn't catch my attention. It was not until the end of the second episode that I held out hope for this drama.The story and character development flowed beautifully. You learned a lot and fell in leave with all of the characters, main and support. It all comes to a head at the end of episode ten and you're left with this sense of closure. Unfortunately, you don't get that in the last six episodes. While the last six episodes are adorable, they're fluff. You forget about everything that happened in the first ten episodes because it is just sort of written off. I was left with a few questions and this want to find out how things were mended.
The acting is great! You do have to keep in mind that this drama has a comedic aspect to it. Parts are expected to be delivered animated and overdramatic. I personally feel the execution was amazing and left me drawn to the characters.
The music wasn't all that memorable. The songs fit the scene where a song became more prominent, but I didn't feel the need to run to Spotify or look up every song in the OST.
I could see myself watching this drama again, but only until episode ten. Again, nothing against the last six episodes, but I felt there could have been so much more than what was presented.
Overall, this drama is cute.The love story, characters, and comedy mesh really well and make for a bingeworthy drama.

A Classic Romantic Comedy
A cute romantic comedy about a narcissistic boss and his secretary: when I say narcissistic, I mean he doesn’t have an ounce of humility from start to finish. But that’s the charm of this unique character. You will eventually warm up to his unwavering habit of loving himself. The character Lee Young Joon played by Park Seo Joon is one you will either love or hate. The drama was structured around this character, so I learned to like him.Kim Mi So, better known as Secretary Kim, was played by the gorgeous Park Min Young. She, as usual, was incredible. The concept in this drama is that she understands her boss completely. When Vice Director Lee talks about his good looks, intellect, or abilities, she usually agrees with him. Their relationship eventually becomes a romantic connection prompted by her decision to quit her job as his secretary.
Love will slowly blossom between the two, and you will witness a beautiful romance grow between two adults, both of which are relatively new at dating. Don’t forget this is a romantic comedy, emphasizing romance, and you will enjoy this drama as I did. There was an interesting subplot that’s settled early in the drama bringing the romance to the forefront. You don’t often see that happen. Usually, writers drag the main subplot to the bitter end. I enjoyed this refreshing change in writing style.

Dorama maravilhoso e muito completo. Quem ama uma história entre destinados vai amar em dobro.
Cara, que dorama. Eu já tinha visto um e estava muito apegada a ele, por isso mesmo que eu achava que esse dorama NUNCA iria ultrapassar as expectativas que eu tive.Ok, de primeira eu não fui muito surpreendida, mas aos poucos você fica dependente da série! MDS!
Fora que tem muito humor equilibrado (equilibrado porque tem uns doramas de romance que colocam tanto humor que fica mais comédia do que tudo) com o próprio Vice-Diretor.
Olha, confesso que essa protagonista é muito bem construída porque ela tem a própria opinião, sabe? Ela não se deixa levar simplesmente e faz o que tem vontade. Ela é eficiente, tem maturidade e ainda assim sabe se divertir. Eu amei a Kim!
O protagonista é aquele cara que você quer um na sua vida, mano. Ele SEMPRE protegeu demais a Kim, mas pensa num cara que só sabia pensar na secretária? Era ele. O único problema é que ele nunca soube demonstrar bem isso. Mas pensar numa criança protegendo outra tão bem..., ah mano.
Fora que (SPOILER, SPOILER SPOILER TREMENDO)
imagina só uma criança que teve que se rastejar até o outro lado da sala só para pegar uma tesoura, fora que ele nem poderia olhar para cima porque tinha o cadáver de uma mulher pendurado ali...., cara. Ele simplesmente guardou tudo para si durante todo esse tempo e só protegeu todo mundo! FORA QUE ELE É O CARA MAIS ENGENHOSO COM AQUELE *AUREA*.
Eu simplesmente não tenho palavras para descrever esse dorama. Ele é muito fofo mesmo, tem tudo que eu amo que é duas pessoas destinadas, te prende do início até o fim, tem tanto início-meio-fim bem definidos e sem ter algo fora de nexo, sabe? Eu sinto falta de doramas de escritório nesse estilo.
Destaco a produção perfeita!
Figurinos lindos, cenários perfeitos, MUITA química entre os personagens, MUITA emoção, MUITA risadaria com aquele protagonista e sua *AUREA*, amei aqueles efeitos de emoji voando pela tela e amei cada música que soube se adequar a cada tipo de situação.

This is one of that kind of dramas where every character is a piece of a puzzle. They're all important. You're gonna love them because of their unique characteristics and wittiness. Everyone was so natural in their acting,it was insane. I think a lot of people thought that the story was cliché. And i agree with that. But for some reason,i didn't really mind it.
And the thing i liked the most about this,is that the main female lead was not the typical "dumb and weak" character. She was powerful,strong and confident,and i wanted to enter the drama just to give her a hug. Also, Park Seo Joo never disappoints,i love this man in every drama.
Overall,it was a really laid back and fun romcom. I laughed and squealed and that's what i needed because i was in a slump from all the bad dramas that i forced myself to watch. And i didn't cry until the last episode,damn,that one got me. I'M GONNA MISS THE LEADS AND THE SUPPORTIVE CHARACTERS A WHOLE BUNCH

"There is beauty in Simplicity", this is what I thought about this drama.It's not perfect "Yes", there are scenes where you'll think that Is that really necessary?, but at the end you just tend to let it go because it works perfectly. I love that the happy ending did not only happen to the main lead but to the other characters as well.
For those who are looking for a drama that will leave you an exhilarating feeling ,I recommend you to watch this.

storyline is not good
even though this drama had a lot of romantic scenes but the storyline made me skip a lot of parts .even though i skipped everything i still know what the story was.it was the acting and the scenes which made me stay till the end,otherwise i would never watch it till the end.the narcissist character of male lead made it more worse.i just hated the part where he always used to boast about himself and the the female lead without any second thought just agreed to him.the rich character made me awkward.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
