a refreshing take on old tropes
are you tired of the old cliche of rich man poor woman and its sexist overtones? me fucking too.hence my reluctance to start another CEO x bubbly employee drama. is it trope-y? yes, but it handles these tropes with respect for the characters that ifound refreshing and fun. the most obvious case is the FL, who instead of being a pathetic dormat clinging to her boss personally and professionally, is a charismatic, hard-working, unapologetically sexy woman. she's built a strong frienship with the second lead and has a stable family unit. in other words, a whole world before ML even enters the picture. add to this that Sojeong is INSANELY talented. you have a recipe for cute rimance that you can rewatch guit free
the negatives:
-the 2nd couple kiss while being black out drunk. she was too inebriated to give consent. stop this shit
-no representation. yeah i know it's a kdrama but it's a negative in any medium
-some moments were dragged out way beyond the comedy
-mildly possesive and entitled male lead.
-the actor can't act. sorry. he is going to ruin another season of Dr Romantic
-not enough 2nd couple, i needed a lot more, they were cute and mature and sexy
positives:
everything else!

... boring
the first two episodes were good. this drama, as many, is full of cliches but it seemed nevertheless enjoyable. the male protagonist is the "cool cold hearted business guy" but he drops the act right at the end of the second episode. by the third one he was already in love. his behaviors are shown to be "romantic" but If you take away the romantic music, they appear to be controlling and frankly "stalking" like.the main protagonist was endearing.
the should have explored more the "business side" of the deal, but as I said, they were already in love after 3 episodes. a missed opportunity.
as many Korean drama they drag it a bit too long and put a lot of plot "twist" at the very end.
overall it is an enjoyable Rom com but nothing to write home about.

idk
It was a great show BUT IT TOOK THEM 9 EPs TO GET TOGETHER LIKE WTHH but the story line was amazing. I wasn't a big fan of music, but the storyline, the acting casting, everything—it was fabulous. I watched this 3–4 times. Highly recommended! If you are into romantic dramaslittle to no intercourse (which is good!)scenes, but the second couple had it twice.

Um clichê divertido e saudável
Há um tempo acompanho os dramas coreanos, e afirmo que nunca vi um drama que possuísse um enredo tão maduro quanto esse. Os personagens são capazes de sentar e conversar sobre o que está acontecendo com eles, além disso, aquele clássico episódio de término não ocorreu já que Ha Ri e Tae Moo forma muito diretos sobre o quão apaixonados estavam e não deixariam nada atrapalhar os dois. Até mesmo aquele clichê de distância física não os fez terminar, já que finalmente descobriram que no século da tecnologia dá para manter o contato mesmo longe.O casal secundário foi uma surpresa boa. A química e a cumplicidade que há entre eles é simplesmente incrível. Além disso, a Yeong Seo é uma amiga incrível e nada mais justo do que ser feliz com alguém que é igualmente um amigo incrível para o Tae Moo. As conexões nesse drama são muito bem delineadas e me fizeram sentir que o drama nem precisava acabar de tão confortável. Não me iludo com uma segunda temporada porque pode acabar estragando a história, mas se fosse bem planejada seria super bem-vinda.

Cuando los clichés son entretenidos
HistoriaEsta basada en un manhwa que la verdad no disfrute mucho como este k-drama. (El manhwa era muy cliche) y este mejoraron muchas cosas como la protagonista que mostraban lo buena que era en el trabajo. En el manhwa lo suponíamos. Lo de que no pusieron el enamoramiento del hermano menor de la prota (un corazón menos roto) -aunque lo mencionaron en pasado eso fue un buen guiño- para mí fue una buena adaptación y me gusto mucho la comedia y la pasion. Lo único malo es ese final con drama. Se que la vida tiene altibajos pero al menos este k-drama no lo tenga. De todas formas fue en el último capítulo y no arruina tu experiencia por completo.
Actuación/elenco
Maravillosos todos, sin quejas. La prota se convirtió en una de mis actrices favoritas.
Musica
No recuerdo ninguna canción, pero de seguro como acompañamiento estaba bien
Valor de repetición
Lo que decidan. Es corta y cómica.

It was an adaptation only until the last few episodes, then it became screenwriter's ego.
While this is a great drama I can't rate this higher that 8.0. My main problem is deviation from source material.Story, Acting, Cinematography, OST everything is perfect and delivers to the genre beautifully. The problem arises in the last few episodes where the writers decided to deviate from original webtoon story and forcefully push some kdrama tropes into narrative which neither were fun to watch not did they fit with characterization established earlier.
1. There was no long separation trope in original webtoon, that was a kdrama only screenwriter fantasy,
2. There was no rich family poor family drama created by grandfather in original webtoon, that was again a kdrama only screenwriter fantasy. He was, on the contrary, the most ardent supporter of their relationship in webtoon.
Thankfully overall story and ending, though adulterated, is still quite good. However, I can't excuse the fact that a portion of source material was changed into something formulaic due to unknown reasons.
When screenwriters deviate from original writer's works it feels like a disrespect towards the original source material. Its understandable the need for deviation when the source material has problems in it but when the source material is a hit in itself, its a just sad attempt by the screenwriters to establish that they know better which they definitely don't.
That's my problem and that's why I rate this kdrama which could easily have a been a 9/10 only 8/10.

Differently good from the webtoon
Having read the webtoon before the drama was released I had my own expectations, some were met and some not. But I wasn't disappointed by those that weren't met as they put other elements that weren't there in the webtoon.This is a classic rom-com kdrama. If you're not a fan of the genre it's totally okay and you'll probably not be a fan of all the clichés in it.
I however like clichés and I like it even more when the comedy is based on those clichés. The characters as well as the viewers know that some things don't make sense and aren't meant to be taken seriously. Your reaction to a lot of the clichés will be to laugh at how ridiculous they sound/appear.
That's also the beauty of this drama, it's light-hearted, funny and sweet. It's easy to tell this is a rom-com as it's full of unrealistic situations. It's an easy watch if you like the genre.

La serie!
Esta Comedia romántica para aquellos doramanicacos que disfrutamos de "la secretaria Kim" hubo momentos en que recordamos a nuestra antigua pareja de oficina, no estoy diciendo que es igual o una copia, no pongan esas palabras en mi boca, la serie es muy buena y divertida, solo que hay momentos que me hacen recordar a mis amados Lee Young‑joon y Kim mi so.Respecto a la serie debo decir que es buena no es la mejor del mundo, pero entretiene bastante, me la vi en un día, si la recomiendo, pero soy consciente que tiene mas hipe del que considero representa a la serie, muchas personas van con expectativas al 1000% y muchas se les rompen, tengan en cuenta que es comedia romántica, sencilla, y que lo que la hace mas interesante son pequeños momentos o escenas que dices waoo por esto la veo. Respecto a los personajes puedo decir que la protagonista no es desesperante al menos para mi, y el protagonista tampoco, me parecen que tenían una química muy bonita, pero algunas escenas entre ellos me aburrieron, y no me paso solo con ellos, también con la pareja secundaria, en general es una buena serie para pasar el rato y me gusto el paralelismo que hacían en la serie con la telenovela que algunos personajes veían y la propia trama de la serie. el final me pareció plano, como que no sentí esa emoción de que ya se esta acabando y dejare de ver estos personajes, en si fue un final "Meh".
Ame ver rostros nuevos, aunque si son conocidos, no son los que siempre protagonizan los dramas de Netflix, tenemos un respiro de aire fresco que me encanta y hace mejor la producción. Y el ost de la serie es magnifico, ame y sigo amando, no dejo de cantarlo incluso antes de ver la serie ya me sabia las canciones de lo tanto que se pegaron en redes sociales, me atrevería a comprar el osteópata solo por la canción principal, muy buena.
en general si la recomiendo y espero y la vean y disfruten, si es su tipo de serie o le gusto la secretaria kim, esta le gustara. confíen!

Repetitive but nice Same clichés with same predictive situations
But inspite of that you re going to enjoy
I didn't enjoy Ahn seop acting much
First time to watch him
I felt his face expression didn't fit the role well
And his acting was weak
In the contrary the 2nd ML and both FL's were strong in their acting
I liked Kim Min Gue soooo much
He was very cute and capable
I was interested more in second main leads
The story was incomplete in my opinion
They cut it suddenly with stupid time jump
And the end was too rush
For the first time I had to say a drama needs more episodes
It should be 14
Even when they made that stupid time jump they didn't explain much
they came cross headlines to end the story soon as much as they can
In my opinion
The bed scene for main leads wasn't in it's place at all
It was light and nice

A deja vu drama but nice to watch
I was excited to see this amazing casting together, their acting skills are really incredible you will love their characters ! But for the story i just feel like it's a mix&match between Strong Woman Do Bong Soon and The secret life of my secretary. Also the clichés of the rich families who don't want the poor girl to marry the rich boy is tiring, I hope one day we will have a drama where the rich boy's family won't be bad with poor people. And I was a bit disappointed with the ending, I expected more than that.Anyway it's still a good little drama to watch, the couples relationship are both really cute.

iconic samantha and rachel
I can't forget the iconic Samantha and Rachel, because of that this drama immediately went viral and many people are finding out about this drama. I really didn't expect that there would be a scene like this, how to express words without having to spit out , the author is very genius!The story plot is light and not complex, even so, I really enjoyed this story very well, there were even comedic parts that were really beyond predictions, very fun and not boring storyline.
For the ML is a good actor and actress👍
