Drama lento
Una comedia romántica muuuuuy lenta. Está entretenida, pero llega un punto en el que sucede lo mismo un montón de veces.Park Seo Joon me encantaaa, sólo vi el drama por él, pero este personaje que actuó no me gustó muchooo, le sobraba muchísimo el ego y su actitud hizo que el drama para mí se volviera tedioso y repetitivo.
Pudo ser un drama más corto y sin tanto relleno y dramatismo que a mí parecer sobro.
Aún así, pude terminarlo y me entretuvo un buen rato, pero definitivamente no es lo mejor que he visto, aunque tampoco lo peor.

Me gusto mucho la pareja protagonista ya que los actores dieron en el clavo con la personalidad de los personajes. La actuación de cada uno fue meramente impecable, lo que hizo que sintieras mas el drama.
Los personajes me hicieron reír pero también sentirme un poco triste, ya que sus historias individuales me llegaron al corazón pero a la vez me hizo pensar en muchas cosas. Creo que son personajes fuertes que a pesar de lo que han vivido, supieron mantenerse y luchar para llegar a donde están. Los demás personajes me gustaron demasiado y me encanta que cada quien también tuviera su propia historia de amor a pesar de que pasarán situaciones en los que me moría de risa.
Definitivamente los protagonistas tenían una excelente química que transmitían en cada episodio y que de verdad lo sentí muy real, además de que se complementaban el uno al otro a pesar de que en algunas ocasiones sus personalidades chocaban, pero que no tuvieran el mismo pensamiento hizo que este drama fuera muy divertido.
El desarrollo de la historia fue meramente perfecto ya que la historia no se estanca en el cliché del romance entre jefe y secretaria sino que va mas allá. El desarrollo de los personajes a lo largo del drama también fue muy bueno ya que los protagonistas dejaron de pensar en el bien de los demás y mas en el de ellos. Además me gusto que también desarrollaran toques de misterio que me dejaban con el corazón en la mano.
Mis partes favoritas definitivamente son las de celos, creo que son unas de las mejores y me divertí demasiado viéndolas.
Lo único que le cambiaría al drama seria el final, debido a que me hubiera gustado que desarrollaran un poco la vida de los personajes después de la boda, tal vez unos años después para saber que pasaron con ellos, con las demás parejas y con el resto de los personajes. Pero me encanto el final así que si he de quedarme con el y conformarme lo haré.

Divertida, atrapante y romantica ✨
Honestamente, suelo interesarme más en el desarrollo de los personajes y la historia en el guion; sin embargo, esta serie fue muy divertida e interesante de ver.Los protagonistas lo hacen muy bien en sus actuaciones, tienen muy buena química y de verdad puedes llegar a sentir las emociones de los personajes en cada situación que te plantean. Los personajes terminan en montones de situaciones random que me tenían muriendo de la risa a cada rato, el romance es bastante bueno también; se puede ver algo de evolución a través de cada capítulo.
La relación entre Kim Mi-so y Lee Young-joon crece poco a poco, hasta generan un gran lazo de confianza y cariño uno por el otro, los cuales cada vez mejoran y mejoran.
Finalmente, debo decir que la trama del secuestro y demás era muy interesante al principio, te la plantean de forma que tienes que ir conectando los puntos por tu cuenta hasta darte cuenta del trasfondo en el actuar de Young-joon hacia Mi-so a lo largo de los años que comparten y como su relación se siente tan autentica; PERO el plottwist fue un poco decepcionante, si digo la verdad. Me gustó como la verdad acerca del secuestro y las memorias de el hermano de Young-joon se desvela para la secretaria Kim, la escena es muy buena y la actriz lo hizo tan bien que me mantuvo pagada a la pantalla en cada momento, pero de todas maneras creo que el misterio generó demasiado hype y expectativas para lo que fue. La verdad no fue tan shockeante como me gustaría, ya que de hecho puedes llegar a adivinar lo que va a pasar si pones un poco de atención.
De todas maneras y dejando eso ultimo de lado fue una muy buena serie en general, muy divertida y de seguro me la volvería a ver más de una vez.
Gracias por leer. Besos,
Camy ✨

Por esta serie caí en los kdramas
Este fue uno de los primeros dramas que ví, y menos mal que lo hice. La historia está bien estructurada, aunque es predecible pero la actuación de los actores y la química que hay entre ellos te engancha sin lugar a dudas. La terminé en menos de una semana porque cada capítulo me dejaba con ganas de más. Ningún capitulo se me hizo aburrido y te hace reír y llorar al mismo tiempo. Es un kdrama que hay que ver SÍ o SÍ.Como último apunte: sinceramente, Park Seo Joon ate this show.

Sorpendente
La verdad es que lo terminé hace un par de días pues aunque salió ya hace tiempo no me llamaba mucho la atención su argumento y bueno pasa como con los libros que a veces te guías por las portadas y eso me hizo pensar que podía ser algo pesado que todo estuviera pasando en una oficina y así, pero realmente me ha encantado y la recomiendo mucho para echarse unas risas y también para la gente que les guste los misterios, algo que hace que te enganches mas :)Aparte sale Chansung de 2PM, el cual no me había dado ni cuenta al ver el elenco y la verdad es que me ha gustado mucho su personaje, hacía mucho que no lo veía actuar, también acabé viendo este dorama debido a Park Seo Joon después de haberlo visto en Itaewon Class que fue el dorama que terminé antes de este y la verdad creo que es de los pocos que si me volvería a ver. ♥

What's wrong with secretary kim? Reseña
Con este drama tuvo sentimientos encontrados al final. Empecé a verlo por Park Seo Joon y me encantó la verdad, toda la primera parte del drama hasta casi los últimos episodios me fascinaron. Las actuaciones son muy buenas, que decir de la pedazo de química de los protagonistas vamos, la historia simple pero entretenida y las historia de los secundarios muy interesantes también. La verdad es que como he dicho en otras ocasiones este tipo de dramas no son santo de mi devoción, en el sentido de que los dramas de este tipo de género no suele convertise en mis favs la verdad. Lo malo que tiene para mi es que al no ser un género que me resulte especialmente atractivo ya los episodios se me hicieron un poco aburridos y demasiado melosos, demasiado romanticismo para mi gusto. Pero si os gusta este género este drama es uno que debéis ver si o si, además de que las escenas de besos son de lo mejor de dramaland.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
En mi TOP de comedias románticas para siempre!!
Esta comedia es un "MUSTWATCH" para todos los amantes de las comedias románticas coreanas. Es una serie tipo "romance de oficina" muy bien hecha, con una ambientación muy cuidada, un guión que no decae en ningún momento y que mantiene el interés y un ROMANCE como pocos. La química entre la pareja protagonista es ya LEGENDARIA, y aunque ya han pasado unos años de su estreno, creo que sus besos no han sido superados que por ningún otro kdrama del género. Su historia de amor es una monada, preciosa, arropada por una troupe hilarante de "secretarios y secretarias" que hacen las delicias del espectador. El resto de secundarios, la familia de Mi so y la familia de Young-Joon están también maravillosos. Un hecho traumático ocurrido en el pasado es la única nota misteriosa y oscura en esta serie tan light y alegre pero este apunte está muy bien enlazado y realza la historia de amor aún más. En su género creo que esta serie roza la perfección. Si no la has visto déjalo todo y mírala. Te dejará satisfecho y feliz des del principio hasta su PERFECTO final.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?

A drama doesn't have to have a well-written story and deep character development in order for it to be enjoyable and good. Mydramalist should really add a "enjoyment" rating alongside the story, acting, music, and rewatch value ratings because some shows such as Secretary Kim aren't the "brilliant masterpiece" drama that some people are looking for, but are still a neat cute amusement ride that casual kdrama watchers can enjoy. As soon as the drama finished, I saw a lot of reviews here that criticized how cringy, forced, and cliche the romance story was, and how shallow the characters were. I don't necessarily disagree with that, but that doesn't take away from how enjoyable and funny the cringy, forced, and cliche romance story was. The characters were shallow, but they were still funny and likable in many aspects. The point of the show isn't to come off as masterfully written story that leaves the audience in awe at every turn, but rather just to be an easy lighthearted drama for romance-comedy lovers to enjoy during their free time.
On the other hand, I've also seen people rate the story a 10/10, and calling Secretary Kim one of the best romance-comedy dramas of all time, which I'm going to have to disagree with. The reason being that there have been other romance-comedies such as Coffee Prince and Secret Garden that simply had a better story line, had more relatable characters as well as character development, and overall were a lot more memorable and enjoyable than Secretary Kim.
The overused story in Korean drama fantasy land of rich chaebol company owner male falling in love with the innocent female who is not-so-rich and is working hard to pay her [family's] debts and bills. Ha, the classic. Nothing much to analyze but it's yer old same old same old happily-ever-after romance-comedy story in Korean lala land. Although, if there is one thing to touch on, I personally did not like the dark childhood past of Lee Yeong Joon and Kim Mi So. It was even more forced than the romance in the show, and it didn't add anything to the show as a whole. In fact, I would go as far as to say that took away from the show because it tried to be something the show wasn't (a touching, dark show) and failed miserably at it. Somebody feel free to tell me exactly what the point of that past was besides to force down the audience's throats that our two protagonists were destined to be together because they had a bizarre past experience with one another as children. Moreover, because of this useless past childhood story, I feel like the drama killed the "supposed to be second lead" character in Yeong-Joon's brother, Lee Sung Yeon. That character was annoying for most of the story, and the show tried to make us pity him towards the end, but I just couldn't see the point of his character at all. What a complete waste of Lee Tae Hwan's character. I couldn't tell if he was supposed to be an antagonist character, but he ended up just being an annoying nobody .
I see people talking about how draggy the story was, but I actually felt the story was fast-paced in comparison to other korean romance comedies I've seen. I mean seriously sometimes kdramas take numerous episodes for the main character to realize he is in love with the girl, and then another few episodes to finally tell/show the girl he likes her, and then another few episodes until they're finally in a relationship. At the very least in Secretary Kim, that draggy "I think I like you" part is completely skipped and they jump right into the meat of the romance rather than the annoying "be a dick to the girl until she realizes somehow through a fateful incident I was always there for her." Now that I think of it, I guess Lee Yeong Joon did kind of do this... But no matter, the romance didn't feel as draggy to me as other romance-comedy dramas which I appreciated.
The acting was definitely the highlight of this show, and I'm not sure I would have enjoyed the drama without Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young, along with all the side character actors such as Kang Ki Young, Hwang Bo Ra, Pyo Ye Jin, Kang Hong Suk, and literally everyone. A big thank you to all the actors in this drama for making the show what it was. They weren't charismatic or anything crazy impressive, but they sure as heck did their job in livening the cringy and cliche as heck roles.
Also, I just want to mention how amazing Park Min Young pulled off the clothing she wore in this drama. I heard she started a fashion trend in South Korea with her secretary clothing.
Music wasn't anything really impressive, and there wasn't a real soundtrack that really caught my eye, but there were a lot of okay songs so I'll just give it a 7/10.
I usually don't re-watch dramas because I don't feel the same kind of enjoyment or excitement when I already know everything that's going to happen or be said. The only dramas I re-watch are the ones with scenes/lines that really help me move forward in life when I'm feeling sad or tired. I feel like the re-watch value for Secretary Kim would be rather low, considering it's all about the heart-fluttering scenes and the childish forced comedy that after watching the drama once, you would know exactly what would happen and it's no longer as heart-fluttering or funny as the first time through when you watched it without expecting it.
Overall, I gave the show an 8 because it was highly enjoyable and I found myself smiling and having a good time which really is the point of spending hours of our lives watching dramas right? If a show is enjoyable, it has done its job. I would recommend this drama only for those who enjoy lighthearted romance-comedies and aren't picky with how "well-written" the story and characters have to be. Anyone looking for anything serious, tragic, or thought-provoking, this is not the drama to watch. Even if you want a romance drama that has a dark-side and will have you crying and dying to know what happens next, this drama is not the one to watch. This drama was purely for cute comedy relief and complete nonsense romance.
This is just my opinion on this popular show. Everyone will have differing opinions on dramas, nobody's ratings are right or wrong; all ratings are subjective. Just enjoy yourself and try not to hate too hard on other people's favorite shows~

Story [8/10] The story isn't exactly anything new or mind-blowing. Why does it deserve a 8 for the story then? The thing this drama does well is it does its comedy and romance very well. The story is your typical rom-com in the sense that you know how it's going to end. You start out with two people who meet. They fall in love. We see some angst in their relationship and bam they end up happily every after at the end. This drama is not too bad in the fact that the middle of the story is not to predictable even though the ending is easy to predict.
My main complaint from this drama isn't really the plot. As you can still have great k-dramas without complex plots. The thing that bothers me is the fact the characters are one dimensional (in addition to the simple plot). You can literally describe a lot of the characters in the drama in one word. I.e. You have a character who is the narcissist, one who who is loyal, one who is the klutz, another character who is frugal, and one who is lustful. If you've watched the drama, you probably know who I'm talking about. I find that stories that deserves a 10/10 has stories/characters that the viewer/readers can relate to and make connections with. I had a hard time making connections in this drama since the characters all seemed very unreal. I do realized that it's a drama and things are dramatized. However, at the same time, I don't believe the drama deserved a 10 in the story department (although I wanted it to be a 10). Hence I'm just giving some reasons as to why I docked points from the story category. This drama does great in the rom-com department, but not so great in the character development department.
Acting [10/10] The acting/cast in this drama was fabulous! I am especially a big fan of the two MC's acting. I especially loved their facials expressions. There are some pretty good kisses in this drama too if you know what I mean ;). My favorite one is probably the "chair push kiss". Someone should make a meme out of that. I also really loved Park Min Young's facial expression during the many comedic scenes. It's like she knows how to make the perfect face for the right moment. I was already a fan of Park Min Young and Park Seo Joon. However this drama has made me an even bigger fan now!
Music [9/10] I generally don't give music scores higher than an 8. However, I must say this drama did a very good job with the music. The music often made funny moments even more funnier. Other times it made awkward moments even more awkward. I think you essentially get the gist of what I'm trying to say here. The music in this drama helps put you in a certain mood when you hear it. Not many dramas do a very good at this. Often times the music is barely noticeable and does nothing to make a certain scene in a drama better. That's not the case here.
Rewatch Value [8/10] I also don't generally give out a high rewatch score. As most dramas are often a one and done kind of thing. However every so often you find a gem where you feel like a part of you is missing after you finish watching it. What's Wrong With Secretary Kim is one of those dramas. It makes me sad that this drama is coming to an end. There were so many moments where my emotions were bursting through because of a certain episode. Some times I was angry at the MCs for being annoying. Other times I'm anxious for the MCs because I want their relationship to go well. MOST IMPORTANTLY I spent a lot of time laughing while watching this drama. I would give this drama a 10/10 if we had emotional involvement as a new category.
Overall the story is probably the weakest link in this drama. Although a 8/10 for story is still great (in my subjective opinion). However, I often like to bring up both the good and bad thing about the drama. The drama does not get a perfect score for the story from because it's sort of your typical rom-com plotline with some one-dimensional characters. On the flip side it gets a 9 from me because it does its rom-com moments very well. You can feel the romance and the drama makes you laugh every single episode. It's probably one of the best rom-com I've seen in a while, if not to date!
The acting/cast is probably the strongest link in this drama. One of the things I noticed a lot in this drama is the facial expressions from the MCs. I really loved Park Min Young and Park Seo Joon's facial expressions in this drama. As I felt like their faces really added flavor to certain situations and made everything seem more realistic and hilarious. The music was also a very great asset in the sense that it played up certain moments. It made certain cute/funny/awkward scenes go from a 9/10 on the cuto/funnio/awkwardo meter to an 11/10!
All in all, this drama excels in many areas. It's definitely one of the best(rom-coms) dramas of 2018 that I've watched so far(what a great year for good dramas!). I recommend you go and watch it if you haven't already.

it started well, the episodes were good up until the childhood story plot was completed. The next few episodes, 4 episodes or so, were so boring that I just wanted them to end fast and to get the show over with. As for the characters, at first I liked the leads but then the show got draggy and over the top cheesy scenes between the leads started happening more often, most of them making me cringe to the point that I felt like skipping their scenes (which would be impossible it's almost the whole show). Also at times the lead couple acted like teenagers when they are like 30 or something on the show (I'm talking about the characters nothing against the actors).
I felt like I was more interested on the side characters than the lead couple, I'm happy the side ships got together at least.
The main couple had been working together for nine years, him overworking her like crazy and treating her like shit, and then one day she snaps, decides to quit and tells him and what? only then he realizes her worth? that he likes her? starts treating her better in fear of losing her? doesn't seem right to me.
Also the main male lead is narcissistic from the beginning to the end, and I was rolling my eyes every time he said anything narcissistic.

This drama really did well at the beginning; there were romantic sparks between the main leads and there was a tantalizing mystery to be solved. I loved the back-and-forth between the CEO and his secretary, it was adorable from beginning to end. But my main problem with this drama is that, in my opinion, the conflict was resolved way too early. The mystery behind the kidnapping, and which brother was actually the victim, was wrapped up a little over half way through the drama; around episode 11 or 12. I thought that there was going to be a larger plot point involved, but once the truth was revealed, the trauma seemed to just disappear. They never dealt with it properly, it was just like "oh, everything is perfectly fine now that everybody knows what really happened".So I got bored with the last 4-5 episodes because next to nothing happened besides the main couple being cute with each other. It was somewhat enjoyable, but when there is no driving force to the story (aka "conflict") it just deflates. Sure, there were mini-issues, like getting acceptance/permission to marry from the secretary's family. But honestly, everyone knew how it was going to end by episode 12. The happy couple was going to get married, it just took them 4 episodes of not much happening besides a few couple quarrels to actually reach the wedding. I dunno, I just felt like the mystery could've had larger repercussions after the truth was out, instead of being swept under the rug.

May contain little spoilers, and it's just my opinion..I just finished the last episode, and I think it's a first time when I skipped almost all MAIN LEADS scenes in it..! Well, usually it doesn't get to this point, because I simply drop the drama if I feel this way.. But this one was such a hit, plus I was watching it for a long time, and it was kinda nice.. Maybe till 14th episode.. Or maybe till 10th..
Ok, when I started it, it was very fun - the humor was great, the leads looked great together ( there was never doubt about this), and everything seemed new and fresh.. I don't even like romcoms - too much cheeseness is not for me , but I started it because I like PMY and PSJ, and well, needed something to watch :) So for a first episodes I really enjoyed it- it was a good office comedy with very attractive leads. Then, after the story from the past started to unfold, it was fine by me too - I know,many complained about this, but for me it was ok - as long it added something to the story, and we had actual plot.. Then - in pretty early stage I'd say, the mistery was resolved, and for the rest of the episodes it was nothing but romance.. First, how they got together, then how they managed to be together etc... There was never any serious fight between them, never any obstacle - it was all ''cute'' romance with small talks and yes - great looking kisses and glances, but nothing more! I know, most people are actually looking for this stuff - many sweet moments between the leads - but is it really enough, when there's nothing more beside this?..
Don't get me wrong - I love romance too, but for me to love the couple I need to wait for them, to miss their moments, wondering what will happen to them - then ,when I finally get what I want, my heart flutters when I see their scenes! I even may skip other scenes to finally see my otp! But here, in the end I skipped the leads... No matter how explosive their chemistry was and how stunning they looked together, but I still got bored..
Now, what I really liked and enjoyed, was the office team - they were adorable and cute, every each of them! I liked how united they were, and both office couple were great! At least it was fun to watch them after same repetitive scenes of the main couple!
It wasn't the worst thing that I watched , but I think it's very overrated! I'm not hating - as I said, I like both lead actors, but it was my opinion about the plot of this drama..
