I’m genuinely giddy with joy, rather selfishly even, that tvN webtoon adapted drama Why Secretary Kim has premiered as a hit this week. The drama airing on the cable network premiered with 5.757% ratings in episode one and episode two decreased slightly to 5.403%. It’s actually a feat in this day and age when rom-coms get low ratings and manga/webtoon adapted ones garner even lower overall. Secretary Kim’s first episode even came in ahead of two prime time network dramas Come and Hug Me with 4.4% and The Undateables (Handsome Guy and Jung Eum) coming in averaging 3.6%.
Leading the Wed-Thurs pack remains the K-drama remake of Suits but still unable to break 10& this week, with 8.4% for Wed and 9.2% Thurs. What makes me happiest is that audience reaction, opinion, and feedback are so positive for Secretary Kim – loving the spot on performances of leads Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young in embodying their characters, and excellent chemistry onscreen. Personally – I love Secretary Kim to pieces, her character even more than I love the drama and it’s been awhile since I’ve loved a female lead this insanely much. What a win for Park Min Young and another smart pick from Park Seo Joon.
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

Poor nam goong min his first drama flopping hard.better luck next time with good female lead.
I loved Why Secretary Kim ! It was really funny. PSJ reminds me Cha Seung Won. PMY is so beautiful in this drama ! I'm waiting for the character of Lee Tae Hwan now.
I like the first two episodes. It's funny and Park Seo Joon is such a hoot. I had really good laugh just from this week's episodes alone.
Anyway @Ms.Koala...Really? You have not liked a female lead for a long time? Have u watched "My Ajusshi"? Lee Ji An is perhaps one of the best K-drama heroines ever.
It’s a safe choice for PJ but I don’t see anything new from him. He looks the same as his own self and look the same as the character in his previous drama.
On the other, PMY is doing well. It’s something new from what she has done before.
Anyhow, I am happy for both leads & the whole WSK team for the good ratings.
a great watch :-) PMY shines in this drama. With the World Cup delaying the airing of Come and Hug Me, it is good to have Why Secretary Kim to fill in my gap. Come and Hug Me is getting draggy now and it reflects in its rating.
Suits is my show Right no!!! It’s killing it
suits still awesome too.
WSK is such a good rom-com and it's been a while since we've seen good acting and a good pairing so it's a win for me
One more reason to watch WSK is that the drama was based on the webtoon (2015) which was created based on the web novel (2013) written by Jung Kyung Yoon. The story must be that good that it has been written in different way and finally turned into a TV drama in 2018.
i like the way park-park built chemistry,good Choice for the theme song and the supporting actors and actresses awesome too.
Hwang Jung Eum gets so much better after the first 2 eps.. She stopped screaming. And the kiss was soo good!
Im trying so hard to watch handsome guy and jung eun but i couldnt just take her. Shes too shrieky. Gahd.
@noonaaa like you, the shrieking almost turned me off Handsome Guy and Jung Eum..
But somehow, I pulled through and things got better.
You could fast forward the shrieking in eps 1-2 and after that, she stops entirely. The banshee antics were way worse in She Was Pretty and Kill Me, Heal Me. Someone must have told her to cut it out for Handsome Guy and Jung Eum.
The story is nothing extraordinary but the chemistry between all 3 leads is solid. And I like the supporting characters too, especially Shim Hye Jin.
Lawless Lawyer still going hard ep 9 drops tonight and LJK is an absolute Adonis and SYJ his Queen. Exceptional storyline and out of it acting . Best pash scene ever in ep 6 so yep I’m down to the finish line. Oh no I’m just gushing now sorry. ?
How rude of me not to mention but waiting for 6 eps for WSK to screen with subs then that’s me one weekend afternoon of binge! ?
So many best scenes in LL for me?? and as usual LJG creates unforgetable, memorable scenes in here. Unbelievable. All the cast actually are doing a great job.
