Cable Netowrk tvN Hit Rom-com Why Secretary Kim Breaks 8% Ratings in Episode 8

View Comments

• I still enjoy WSK except I wish the older brother can be written off as quickly as possible by returning him to where he came from (ie working abroad). He is a miscast, very poor acting. Otherwise, all other supporting cast is excellent and very entertaining. Parents are kind and the office dynamics is fun to watch. Needless to say, the OTP is the best :-)

  • Not entirely miscasted (he is okay, I have seen worse actors even as hero), he has too little script to work with it. Only a first class actor maybe whould have made up for the cheesy lines they gave him. Also, he has too little time with the main characters. I get the feeling he is like the moon and all others are on earth. Even the team at work got way more screentime.

    • good, the less screentime the better, I have been FFing his scenes because he is like a piece of wood most of the time.

• I think they balanced pretty well the dark past, the love story and the comedy. If I liked Lee Tae Hwan in other dramas, in this one he really looks younger than Park Seo Joon. It was not a great idea to cast him for this role.

  Now for the rating part, I'm happy for them but the Worl Cup messed with a lot dramas on main channels.

• Trick question but if it were between this or Because its my First life which would get better ratings? Personally quality wise I think the previous work was better. This relies too heavily on the OTP to carry the show. I'm happy for the ratings nonetheless.

  • I agree. BTLIOF had a fresher feel and concept, WSK is more of your typical kdrama with a chaebol that's just being boosted by its leads. Still happy for Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young though, they deserve it.

  • Both of them good in diff way. I love BIMFL bcos the stories were very relateable (jobless Jiho, ect) meanwhile WWWSK is more like a fantasy one

    • I was just thinking this drama feels more fantasy than BOTWG even though it has no obvious fantasy elements. This is about as old school as it gets for romantic comedies which are all fantasy in a way I guess. I prefer BTLIOF for its realism too.

  • btmfl kick themselves in the foot by making an unreliable female character that can only speak and changed the male character to someone he isn't for the sake of female character (who still can't contribute anything significant besides empty monologue)
    so sec kim need a better rating since at least both of them are perfectly able to perform their job and actually did what they say,

• My opinion: It is a quite common drama but the main couple is adorable. The sidekick of the hero I like very much but the sidekicks of the heroine are too much. They are so much over the top that it annoys me. Unfortunately the story is almost no where to find. It would have been enough for a movie but for an entire drama run, it is way to little. It is something I can watch easily beside sewing and I won't miss the good parts because I needed my eyes elsewhere.

• I'm so glad the female lead is not a complete airhead. Also, am I the only one who gets like Joo Joong Won (Masters sun ) vibes from Park Seo Joon's character? (It's rare, but sometimes ).

• I don’t mind the slow pace when the OTP‘s chemistry is this good. It’s a pleasure watching even the smallest moments.

• Come and Hug Me and Secretary Kim are both my baes for Wednesday and Thursday. I love them so much and I am super happy that they are both doing well.

  4.5 % for Come and Hug Me is amazing considering the hot-mess show that aired before it (The Great Seducer) and that it recieved barely any promotion with no name stars in their first lead roles in a last minute casting choice.

  So yeah, don't nobody put Come and Hug Me in a corner.

• I'm still enjoying this alot, it's perfect drama for summer. The OTP are great but I'm also really loving all the side couples and characters.

  Also, I just found out the webtoon "I am Gangnam Beauty" is getting a drama adaptation at the end of july on JTBC. I haven't seen any news about it yet on drama related sites/blogs though. I'm reading the webtoon and I'm really liking it so I'm looking forward to the drama. I'm not familiar with the main actors so I'm not sure if they'll be able to bring the drama to life like PSJ and PMY have done with SK.

• I like the drama just fine but the lead actors are carrying it a bit as the plot is quite thin. PMY just glows in this. Also forgive me but am glad soccer is about done.

• This drama is not perfect but it makes me happy. I'm actually enjoying all the supporting casts for they got characters. The best friend is hilarious. The writing on main couple sometimes not consistent on their characters, but it's getting better. I hope there is explanation on why he's narcissistic. I actually love the flashbacks scenes of 9 yrs ago, when he hired her, so much feels.
