    Good enough

    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.

    Wonderful Love Story + Crazy Chemistry

    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.

    Original and clever

    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.

    i loved it

    At first i thought it would be another cheesy cliche but as it went forward i felt its a whole new story with New characters and sweet moments actually after watching so mush k dramas i feel every thing is repetetive, but this one changed my mind also, when you watch a rom com usually some things doesnt make sense and things are somehow exaggerated but in this serie i can tell the story line was reasonable i wasnt bored while watching i really felt all the love and supportiveness in the characters beside their pains lead actor and actress were very lovable and sweet the characters garments were so proper for each character by the way i loved all do min ik suits. at the end it has all i want from a rom-com

    Slightly underrated

    It was better than i thought. Must say, almost every story line on it's own has some slow moments, but overall it's a cute series. We have a great chemistry between the main leads and I would say the production style gives an high end flair, which i appreciate. A bit modern atmosphere with down to earth and relatable characters.

    What else can i say... easy to watch, not one of those where you binge watch, because it's so exciting, but enjoyable because it's not too deep or too dark or too dramatic. A light romcom minus comedy :D give it a try. Nice cast. Nice storyline. Maybe you like it, maybe you don't.
