WowAlthough I wasn't in a drama mood
I enjoyed it so much
I had many butterflies while watching
Although nothing new at the story but
Kim Young Kwang was one of those unique actors who can turn any normal drama to a spectacular one
The romance was amazing the story was smooth
No Childish attitude, no love triangle, no meaningless separation for too long, no childhood love, no stupid time jump for too long
Which made me enjoy it so much
The 2nd FL character was new and so funny
Annoying in a lovely way
I enjoyed her scenes so much and laughed many times
Mainly it talked about important issue
Employee rights
The end was happy and satisfying EXCEPT..
I GOT bothered so much from
The ML'S mother and uncle
I wished he left her
And his uncle got prisoned
But didn't happen 🥺💔
I loved the bromance so much between both MLs
Highly recommended ❤️❤️🥰🥰

THE MOST AMAZING KDRAMA EVER SEEN!!!
Loved it. A very cute drama commendable job done by both the leads and loved their chemistry. The blind love of Do Min Ik for the girl who he can't see was the most amazing thing of this drama. This brought tears into my eyes in the end. I don't remember how many times have I repeated the last scene.
A very lovely show. Many people don't like it I don't know why but I strongly recommend it to people who like office rom-com...
It very well explains the importance of love in our lives...and a must watch for all...

It was Aweeeesomeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know, perfection in a drama isn't just about fancy technical stuff or having the most mind-blowing plot. When I first laid eyes on this drama, I thought, "Okay, it's not reinventing the wheel here." But you know what? It's like that comfy, worn-out sweater you can't let go of—the charm is in the irresistible chemistry between the main characters.What's even better? No irritating love triangle drama. The second leads? Pure gems. Do Min Ik and his secretary? Now that's a dynamic duo. Despite his big-shot boss image, Do Min Ik's got this dorky side that fits his secretary like a puzzle piece.
Fake Veronica Park? Nah, didn't do it for me. It was like a bland salad—no spark, no flavor. But the real deal? Now, she's a character! Exaggerated but oh-so-memorable. Kudos to the actress for bringing her to life.
And the side characters, especially those secretaries? They brought the laughs without going overboard. No stereotypical evil co-workers here, just a bunch of lovely colleagues. Veronica Park's mom and Gal Hee's bold sister and confident blind brother? Talk about a mix of eccentricity and charm.
Do Min Ik's doctor? Quirky personality on point. Now, the whole health condition thing? Medically questionable, but hey, this is a drama, not a medical journal. And that darker storyline? Surprise, surprise! Injecting some seriousness without overshadowing the romance. Kept us guessing with those hints dropped like breadcrumbs.
Now, the romance? Ah, a slow burn that didn't rush into a cheesy fairy-tale ending. It's like a well-cooked meal—just the right balance. The conclusion? Tied up with a neat little bow.
In a nutshell, the romance was innocent, deep, and mature. Bonus points for throwing in some unique twists. This drama? It's not just a watch; it's an experience that hit all the right notes.

Sweet fluffy romcom
I initially picked this kdrama for the fluffy romance part that I'd read about. A lot of people had mentioned how the story is not unique and that it follows the typical romcom kdrama. However, I personally really liked both the fluff and the story!Yes, it does follow the same mean-boss-and-underappreciated-secretary story, but it's built in a really cute and intresting manner (has a twist to). The story flows easily and it has a good balance of comedy, romance and suspense. There is a bit of deceiving from the FL's side, but it wasn't very far fetched and gets resolved in a smooth manner, which I liked. And they compensate for it very well in the last 2 episodes with lots of fluff that will keep you smiling and grinning at the cute couple. The comedy portion was also very satisfying, especially all of Veronica Park moments (have to say she was my favourite, I laughed a lot at all her parts!)
All in all I really enjoyed the entire kdrama, and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a light watch to pass their time.

Review of "The secret life of my secretary". (Spanish, English, French)
(Spanish)“The secret life of my secretary” es un drama coreano con elementos de romance y comedia. La pareja protagonista está compuesta por el CEO Do Min Ik y su secretaria Jung Gal Hee. Do Min Ik, tras un ataque contra su vida, tiene prosopagnosia y solo puede reconocer la cara de Jung Gal Hee, lo que los mantiene más unidos.
La trama de la serie es original ya que el protagonista masculino es incapaz de reconocer rostros, lo que hace que limite su vida cotidiana y le trae complejidades cuando se relaciona con los demás. Además, gracias a esta enfermedad, irónicamente acaba conociendo más profundamente a la gente que le rodea. La secretaria, por su parte, trata de ayudarlo, pero sin querer termina mintiendo a su jefe, así que su relación se enreda. No obstante tengo que decir que me gusta cómo se desenlaza todo, el guion está bien escrito. En cuanto al resto de personajes, en mayor o menor medida, todos tienen un desarrollo y un propósito, no son un adorno.
Las actuaciones y la producción están bien hechas y dirigidas. De lo único que no estoy contenta es que los 32 capítulos se me han hecho un poco largos y he sentido algo de aburrimiento. Pero, hay varios momentos de química entre los protagonistas, con más emoción de lo que podrías encontrar en otros dramas y hay ciertas escenas que se quedarán en mi memoria.

“The secret life of my secretary” is a Korean drama with elements of romance and comedy. The protagonist couple is made up of CEO Do Min Ik and his secretary Jung Gal Hee. Do Min Ik, after an attack on his life, has prosopagnosia and can only recognize Jung Gal Hee's face, which keeps them closer.
The plot of the series is original since the male protagonist is unable to recognize faces, which limits his daily life and brings complexities when he interacts with others. Furthermore, thanks to this illness, he ironically ends up getting to know the people around him more deeply. The secretary, for her part, tries to help him, but inadvertently ends up lying to her boss, so their relationship becomes entangled. However, I have to say that I like how everything unfolds, the script is well written. As for the rest of the characters, to a greater or lesser extent, they all have a development and a purpose, they are not an ornament.
The performances and production are well done and directed. The only thing I'm not happy about is that the 32 chapters have seemed a bit long and I've felt a bit bored. But, there are several moments of chemistry between the leads, with more emotion than you could find in other dramas and there are certain scenes that will stay in my memory.

« The secret life of my secretary » est un drame coréen avec des éléments de romance et de comédie. Le couple protagoniste est composé du PDG Do Min Ik et de son secrétaire Jung Gal Hee. Do Min Ik, après une attaque contre sa vie, souffre de prosopagnosie et ne peut reconnaître que le visage de Jung Gal Hee, ce qui les rapproche.
L'intrigue de la série est originale puisque le protagoniste masculin est incapable de reconnaître les visages, ce qui limite sa vie quotidienne et lui apporte des complexités dans ses relations avec les autres. De plus, grâce à cette maladie, il finit ironiquement par mieux connaître les gens qui l'entourent. La secrétaire, de son côté, essaie de l'aider, mais finit par accidentellement mentir à son patron, leur relation s'enchevêtre. Cependant, je dois dire que j'aime la façon dont tout se déroule, le scénario est bien écrit. Quant au reste des personnages, à des degrés divers, ils ont tous un développement et une finalité, ils ne sont pas un ornement.
Les performances et la production sont bien réalisées et dirigées. La seule chose qui ne me plaît pas, c'est que les 32 chapitres m'ont semblé un peu longs et que je me suis un peu ennuyé. Mais il y a plusieurs moments d'alchimie entre les protagonistes, avec plus d'émotion que l'on pourrait trouver dans d'autres dramas et il y a certaines scènes qui resteront dans ma mémoire.

The most unromantic romance
This story had a promising beginning, some interesting and different side streams and could have ended up with an 8 or even 9 star.But Alas......
I think the script writer was trying to convince us that love is really blind.......that despite not being able to recognize faces, it's the inner soul that eventually wins the long lost love race.
And in thus trying to make the FL s soul shine, the script writer forgot to clean up the exterior - and viola we now have a scruffy looking FL who looks like she kept awake all night in her college dorm, trying to cram for an exam, then woke up the next morning, didn't brush her teeth, shower or comb her hair, wore mismatched socks under ill fitting pants and ran to the exam hall.
And on the flip side we have a ML who just steps out of a GQmagazine, looks dreamy enough to have a million weeping females, dresses impeccably - almost like he's going to step on the fashion runway.........
And now we have to watch 16 hours of how these two totally miscast characters find everlasting love!
God help us🧑🎤

I especially liked the male lead. Kim Young-Kwang did a fantastic job. And kudos to the writing team from deviating from the cliché of the aloof, arrogant boss and going for a vulnerable, earnest character. Do Min-Ik was one of the sweetest MMC I think I've ever seen.
And, of course, Veronica Park stole the show every time she came on-screen. Kim Jae-Kyung did a wonderful job playing her.
Smiles and happy feelings all around!
P. S. I'd be remiss if I didn't give a shout-out to the kooky OST. The Lion King, Queen, Damien Rice and Let It Go. Weird, random musical choices, but I liked them!

Prosopagnosia trope is real?
I have found this drama by accident while searching for "What's wrong with secretary Kim?" and watched it without any regrets 👌 It would seem that when you lie down with severe bronchitis, nothing will make you come alive better than syrup or hot broth but this show did a really great job! Story was fresh and unique and convinced my brain and body to focus on something else than coughing and sleeping 😁Maybe Do Min Ik and Jung Gal Hee started their relationship with cheating, what they built in the boss-secretary relationship was beautiful and unique. The story of the couple was very cool, but Veronica Park beat them anyway. This is one of those characters that after seeing it will stay in your head for the rest of your life.... Veronica Park nobo seyo .... I hear it in my head as soon as someone says that name 😅😅
Good drama with good cast and fresh script. I'm giving it 6/10, it's not extraordinary but reccomendable and won't waste your time. Ideal for lazy watching during the lockdown but if you search for an action - have a look for example at "Mystic Pop-Up Bar".
