The Secret Life of My Secretary

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.

Another romcom Kdrama which did not disappoint again. The story this time was quite different from the usual romcom we watch. I liked the FL's character and it was understandable why she did what she did but just wished she confessed earlier. The ML's character was quite enjoyable and loved how their romance unfolded.

AN unforgettable character is the amazing Veronica P-A-R-K! She rocked!! 🔥🔥 Every scene with her was stunning while I found myself sometimes waiting to watch her scene more than the main leads. The SFL was also not that bad, loved the secondary couple.

The kiss was mesmerising but I wished there were more romantic and fluffy scenes between the main leads in comparison to what we obtained, mostly for a 16 episodes Kdrama.

I really liked it, the mystery and story was interesting to watch and I am glad I did not rely on the previous reviews. It might not be a rewatch but for a one time it's worth it.

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.

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.

Note: Story involves physical disease.

Much like 'her private life', this one was sweet and heartwarming. Light on drama. Chemistry between leads very strong. Secondary leads also very cute and it was refreshing they weren't in a typical love triangle, rather than just having their own love story. Excellent character portrayal from Kim Jae-Kyung as Veronica Park. Looking forward to see her star in a drama in the future.
