Park Min Young Confirms tvN Romance Drama Why Secretary Kim Opposite Park Seo Joon

I’m excited for this pairing and happy with the confirmation news today that K-actress Park Min Young will be starring in the upcoming tvN romance drama Why Secretary Kim. Her male lead is the already confirmed and current K-drama It Leading Man Park Seo Joon. The drama will follow currently airing Wed-Thurs drama My Ahjusshi and transition from a darker life drama into a breezing fun romance where Park Seo Joon is an arrogant chaebol company president whose world gets turned upside down when his supremely capable secretary of 9 years played by Park Min Young abruptly quits her job. He tries to find out what happened and the two proceed to fall in love as their relationship changes and he begins to grow a heart. Directing is the PD from Because This is Our First Life, Let’s Eat, and Let’s Fight, Ghost.

  • I've always liked the characters Park Min-young plays so I'm looking forward to this one.

  • I'm not a big fan of perfect secretary topic. I always feel unconfortable to see how they work. There is not limit between the personal and the professional life. It sounds more like slave :P

    But I like the casting and she left. It reminds me the movie with Sandra BUllock and Hugh Grant :p

  • Not a fan of arrogant chaebol male lead character... But I miss PMY so badly, she is a great actress, so I will watch just for her. PSJ - I wish you are not repeating your "You are pretty" performance, you need a change and your makeup is too heavy for a guy!!

  • I'm having a drama slump after QFSD. I guess I really love PMY. I hope this role is badass like role too. I really believe PMY's choice. Why Secretary Kim please come faster

    • Poor PMY! Why can't people just accept it. I read that a lot of k netz were upset at her casting with PSJ and they wanted other actresses instead of her (there was a list of prospective names given) and that's why she took ages to confirm because of the negativety. Someone may be able to shed more light on the matter and I'm sure I may have read it here on Koala's site in one of the past posts. I think tvN issued a statement as well? Sorry to be so vague but it's really sad when people get territorial with dramas and start dictating who can act with who. Geez it's just a made up fictional story with 2 actors so there is no need to get so attached and psycho over it! Let it be ❤️

      • Who the k-netz wants as the leading lady? It's always o.O me when they become so antagonistic over casting

    • It's weird how PMY has starred in so many hit dramas and still didn't gain popularity and become an "it" actress like Moon Chaewon and Han Hyojoo in her age group. I was surprised about the hate against her, since she's way above Park Seojoon in level. I guess they will get over it when the drama starts and its good.

      • Han Hyo Joo is A-list but she isnt exactly "it" actress.Ever since her scandal..she gets lots of salty comments on her news from her country folk.Not to forget she had acting contrversy in her last drama.But she is still able to secure high profile movie roles because she has good connections in the industry.Directors like her.

        As for Moon Chae Won, same age and debut time with PMY but there is a difference between them.Because I think MCW has consistently made smart choices when it comes to roles.She almost never signs up to a drama where she will be playing " candy for oppa".Even if the drama is kinda malecentric, her characters usually have backbone .PMY's drama roles thus far maybe with the exception of seved day queen havent really challenged her acting skill.This is why even though she is a good experienced actress.She still hasnt delivered that one impactful, super memorable role that will make people acknowledge and respect her more.

      • @Deb just google "W's two worlds" hashtag on netizenbuzz and see what they had to say about her acting in the drama.Particularly during the finale and pilot.Its just that it wasnt blown out of proportion like it would have been, if it was an idol actor or actress.But maybe "acting controversy" is stretching it..but her acting was criticised in there.

      • @RubyRed: I doubt its the drama roles that accounts for the difference between MCW and PMY. Park Shinhye played so many candy roles up before Pinocchio but she's an "it" actress.
        Han Hyojoo was "it" before her scandal. She was on a roll with Dong Yi and Cold Eyes.

  • Those webtoon fans always think they have so much power. If they don’t like the casting then they should not watch, raise money and make their own version.

  • Good.I am rooting for Park Min Young and am not a die-hard fan of her.Her haters are always doing the most, it always makes me laugh.They cant really fault her acting so they attack her looks.

    The plot is boring and overdone.Its already similar to jugglers too.But what will prop and drive this drama is their chemistry.PMY's acting in my opinion is not in WOW category.Her roles and facial expressions feel samey regardless of the drama genre(I can say this because Ive watched her in a coiple of dramas and I k.But one of her strength's is she always has good chemistry with her male leads so the PD to capitalise on that.
