Mi Romance Secreto (2017)

At first it started as a cute, fluffly concept. Nothing too complicated or complex or deep, just a good palatte cleanser for my mind to drift off real life and just consume something silly. However, as chapters went on the story dragged, the actress only had one or two facial expressions, and the actor was ok. Also, the female mc couldn't make up her mind and was whiny and annoying. And I couldn't understand why or how the male mc fell for her at all 3 years ago and kept to do so. I wouldn't rewatch this drama, it had potential to be somewhat entertaining and fun, but it just became boring.

Very good straight forward and relatively light hearted

9/10 is my rating. This is a 2017 South Korean drama spanning 14, 60 minute episodes.
Cha Jin-wook (Sung Hoon) and Yoo-mi (Song Ji-Eun) meet and have a one night stand. Yoo-mi wakes up and disappears leaving Jin-wook preplexed as to why she didn't stay after what he considered a life changing encounter. Three years later Yoo-mi shows up as a nutritionist at the company Jin-wook's father owns. She pretends not to know him out of embarrassment of having a one night stand. Jin-Wook is determined to win over this woman he has never forgotten. He is not the only contendor for Yoo-mi's heart though. And Jin-wook also has a woman his father has identified as his perfect match. Can Jin-wook convince Yoo-mi they belong together? Will he be able to overcome his father's expectations as heir to a company?

Spoiler 🚨 I thoroughly enjoyed this series. The chemistry between the leads was over the top. I could see how the situation would have evolved. It was predictable, but in a good way. I recommend this to anyone that enjoys a straight up romantic comedy.

One minute into this drama and you can just tell that the production of this drama isn't good. It was released in 2017, but looked like it could've been from 2009. There were so many things wrong with it, but you couldn't look away. Let's start with the plot or lack thereof. The romance was based off of a one night stand from THREE years ago. I repeat THREE YEARS AGO! I'm genuinely concerned for these characters,, like?? in those three long years neither of them could date because that night affected them that much?? They only known each other for not even two days, and they act like they were married or something.

Another thing this drama was missing was the acting. Literally everyone EXCEPT the two main characters could act. It was so frustrating yet entertaining at the same. They gave two supporting actors the main roles, and it failed miserably. You can't look me in my eye and say that the production of this drama was good, you just can't.. The editing was so bad. It looked like they edited it iMovie or did not edit at all. Sometimes the music would be louder than what the characters were saying.. They found a xylophone sound and could NOT stop using it. Can we talk about the baby for a second? He was literally the cutest thing, but WHY did they have to edit that fake laugh track in?? Also, why was Yumi always falling?? Is she THAT weak? There wasn't an episode where she wasn't falling into someones arms.

The last two episodes were literally just the same flashbacks playing over and over again. And the ending?? Horrible, please redo it. I could've came up with a better ending scene. It was really lacking. Overall, the drama was just too predictable and typical. Despite the poor quality, it gave me many laughs. I had a fun time making fun of the bad acting.

This drama is comedy and cute. Actors are awesome. Mainly i loved the acting of sung hoon. His acting is super funny. And his acting makes this drama watchable. Plus its really a romantic drama. One can watch this without getting bored. Its not over the top but its good. You surely will enjoy it and laugh a lot and will not be bored, neither regret. Music is also good. I loved the title song.

*why there is 500 words makr. I really hate it. I cant write more than this. I mean i cant give full synopsis. It says to write what u like and what dislike. I dnot know what to writeeeeeee....
Only dislikes about dramas are that they not real and some times over the top in story and acting. But that's why its drama. But in this drama there is nothing like dragging or boaring. Its short and cutr drama.

Quality Swoon-worthy entertainment

This drama seriously deserves a better rating. I would've binged it in one day, had I not had to get up early the next day. So instead I binged it in two days and it is definitely going to be a comfort drama for me in the future.

Of course it didn't hurt that I already liked both leads before this. Secret was one of my favorite 2nd gen girl groups, so I adore Song Ji Eun. And Sung Hoon I've had a crush on ever since Oh My Venus. But it wasn't just the actors that made this so enjoyable. The story was exactly what I'd been looking for: a cute romance, but not in a boring way, with lots of funny moments and swoon-worthy scenes. Despite basically being "only" a love story with barely any side plots, it always kept me engaged and immediately clicking "next episode". Their chemistry is great, the side characters are very funny and lovable and I also really liked the OST.

The only points of criticism I have, are that the last few episodes had way too many flashbacks and that the intro was always spoiling the episode. I liked the drawings in the intro but couldn't they have chosen scenes from previous episodes instead of the upcoming one? Kind of a strange choice. (Also, this drama had the fakest fake snow I've ever seen and I didn't quite get the ending tbh). But honestly, I loved this a lot and I'm definitely going to rewatch it.
