Park Seo Joon Confirmed for tvN Rom-com Why Secretary Kim with Park Min Young in Talks to Join

View Comments

• Park Seo Joon is going to portray the character similar to the one he played in "She Was Pretty". Another chaebol heir and arsehole in dramaland. But PSJ has good eyes in picking project, so I expect this will be another hit under his belt.

• Oh my! Will be happy to see both of them work their magic. I love Park Min Young, more often than not, it’s always a hit with her, both in romcom (Healer-yaaaa) and sageuk melo (Queen for 7 Days), etc. While with PSJ, it’s so, so, sometime hit like in Witch’s Romance, hmmmm now that I think of it, I have yet to fall in love with him as much as I first did in Witch’s Romance. Oh well, what can I do, I love noona romance. Hah. But pls, since I can’t have Lee Joon Gi and Park Min Young pairing, I’ll settle with PSJ. Make it happen, juseyo.

  • LOL. I was thinking that since she joined Namoo, maybe there will be a drama with LJK. But then LJK already confirmed a drama with Seo Ye Ji which I am extremely happy with.

    I like PSJ but idk why he happened to have the second male leads that stole his thunder (at least according to me). I was liking CSW more in She Was Pretty (though I think it's more likely for his character since CSW is horrible in Love Revolution) and there's Park Hyung Sik who totally overshadowed him in Hwarang and whom I love to death. Still, PSJ simply has that likeable aura and I will definitely check this one out.

    • PSJ looks horrible in Hwarang, his long hair was awful ? He is lucky in Fight My Way, the second male lead was fine but didn’t still his spotlight ? lol... Wonder who will be the second male lead in this one?

    • *steal

    • Hahaha. Your comment on his look in "Hwarang" is funny. But it's not his wig that bothered me, it was probably his character in Hwarang and the fact that PHS was so good in it. I do not like "Fight My Way", I dropped the drama half-way but the second lead could not match PSJ in term of visual and charisma.

      PMY been playing strong characters as of late as in "Healer" and "7DQ". Hope she keeps up the momentum.

• The story does not sound very interesting... chaebol heir again? But the two leads (if PMY confirms) are strong, good acting will be guaranteed. I like PMY a lot ? I will watch anything she’s in

  • Same old chaebol male lead, zzz...

• I wish the roles were reversed though.The female lead as a chaebol and the male one as the secretary.Thats more refreshing.Some are comparing this to Jugglers.Webtoons are also a minefield because the fans tend to make comparisons between the drama and the webtoon.This can cloud the enjoyment of the drama(Cheese in the Trap anyone?).

  PMY is being dragged for that reason among many by the knets.They are not happy with this news at all.Inets are wishing for Han Hyo Joo, Park Shin Hye or a reunion with Kim ji Won.Although some are ok with her.So I hope she doesnt get discouraged by the comments coz she said she reads them, and just go for it.She said she wanted a rom com after her heavy melo sageuk.This is a good opportunity to do something lighter.She will also be working with an IT actor so her acting will be in the spotlight whether good or bad like healer.

  • It was knet who wished for hhj or psh as the secretary at first, based on the suitability w the webtoon character.

  • Pmy is one in few actresses with the real acting talent and she can pull off any role successfully. And so much better than the ones knets wished for. Lol. She's so courageous and I hope she could cope with the negative comments as she always did.

    • agree. PMY is a great actress. Not sure why knet wants HHJ, I thot they don't like her due to some old controversies... I don't have a problem with HHJ, but I prefer PMY better coz I really miss her after 7DQ. PSH? hmmm... is she even considering a return to acting? stop crying wolf for her...

• This Is My First Life was my 2018 version of CITT. Wonderful drama that totally goes sideways in the last episodes.

  I am fond of both actors and will give it a go for them.

• Will watch it for Park Min Young , not care much about the boy

• What kind of trash is this

• park min young nope nope nope nope nope

• How I wish to see park min young an a badass girl. I don't want to see her again in the role of very good leading lady. I want really something badass and chick for her. This is the right time. I want this character of hers to be totally badass and classy.

  • I know, I feel the same way. Min Young has complained about being typecast in the usual Candy roles. She said she was concerned about it and was trying hard to break away from such stereotypical roles especially as she enters her 30s. So that was why Healer and 7 Day Queen was such a departure for her. With this drama, it looks like she’ll be going back to the overused Candytype character that was done quite successfully in Jugglers, but totally horribly in introverted boss. She’s capable of making her character likable and interesting, so I will watch for her.

    As for Park Seo Jin, I like him better as a second lead. None of his leading roles have struck gold with me. He’s been bland in his lead roles. No matter how much I like him as an actor, I can’t ignore his lack of onscreen charisma in lead roles. The last role I truly enjoyed him in was Kill Me Heal Me. He was bland even in Fight My Way.

    • Yes I read her interview about her thoughts in the interview about Lee jun ki. Actually I loved her so much that I never realised she had similar characters in till that interview. I rewatched some of her dramas.Actually even in healer and Q47D I found her strong but mature and understanding leading lady not a chick and badass one.i really hope this IS the role. Same thoughts about PSI. He is good but I have never seen a performance of him like this is it Man he is awesome.

    • I want people to realise and say wow park min young that was awesome. I never thought you had it in you. I dont care about ratings as long as the reviews are good for her performance.i don't want it to be filled with cheesy lines and slow motion shots just to please female viewers fantasies.im hoping haha

• I'm not a big fan of the drama with secretaries. I think the work they do is too personal for secretaries, they work 24/24h and 7/7 days too. And the relationship boss-secretary is a little bit a cliché.

  But I like the casting. PMY is a great actress and she always has chemistry with her costar ! I didn't really like the two last dramas of PSJ but it was more because of the writting than him.
