Why Secretary Kim Stays Strong in Cuteness and Chemistry with One Week Left in Airing

I’m legit blown away by tvN drama Why Secretary Kim not because it’s really the best drama ever but because it’s managed remain simply very very good for the near entirety of its airing. This past week’s episodes 13-14 sent the Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young lovebirds on an adult romance path (finally!) while not creating real roadblocks to annoy the viewers who just want to see this couple enjoy happiness together. Park Min Young remains so incredibly beautiful, fun, and charming to watch onscreen, she actually steals the show just a little bit more than Park Seo Joon for me, the way she deftly toggles between passion, professionalism and even petty jealousy is so pitch perfect. Rating stayed steady in the 8% range and I’m thrilled this will go down as one of the best rom-coms in the last few years.

  • The plot is soooo LAME but the cast is fire! The lead’s love scene was one of the hottest scenes I’ve seen in Kdramas. I give it up to the cast and director!

    Hope they date in real life.

    • Honestly, me too @asta. Even if the cast is good and i think that it must be one of the main reasons for the success. With that said,rom-coms tend to be repetitive and it's summertime so it's a easy Watch if you want to give some rest to your brain. If not, you can always Watch "Life On mars" . Reply 1997 was my cup of tea !

      • I have not seen life on mars, but just finished the Korean version of the mistress and it's so cool

  • I really reallyyyy love this drama... is funny, fresh, cute and the more important part it’s that we don’t have a second lead or the bad people o the bad fathers... We now they will be happy ever after but I want to watch them grow together... they are just perfect... a perfect couple... they now each other and they are really in love!!!! ??? Sometimes we don’t need a súper plot to enyoy a drama ?????

  • I had low expectations going in. I personally did not enjoy either of PSj’s last two dramas even though they got decent reviews and fans really loved it. Just wasn’t the dramas for me at the time. PMY - I did enjoy her last drama 7 day queen. So I wasn’t expecting to like wwwsk much.

    First things first - there is really no plot here. It’s thin at best and super cheesy. But I do like childhood love tropes and the chaebol falls for the “poor” girl. I have to say, it’s largely the charming personality of the two leads that make me want to root for their characters. They have hooked me into their romance.

    If you like a breezy, brainless rom com to watch - then i’d highly recommend. If you aren’t looking for that, then this drama probably won’t be your cup of tea.

    • Agree, kdrama rom-coms are usually brainless. Lots of fluff is a given, and over the past few years cheese has been heavily added. Plot is often repetitive. The success of this drama relies on the cast from the two charming main leads, the very adorable Kang Ki Young, all the way down to sweet supporting office staff and the cute parents (except that wooden brother). LOL.

  • I still watch it but it’s so cheesy, as in Velveeta cheesy. No plot, cliche and stupid. Love the first two episodes and the best friend. Everything else is too contrived.

  • Yep agreed.. They are compatible. They really bring up the story.. I would say sulate on the success in bringing the right celebrity, personel in this drama.

  • PMY never brought true chemistry for me anyway in any drama. Last time it was nearly there with Yeon Woo Jin in Queen for 7 days. But too much crying ruined it for me. I'd watch this drama for PSJ's hotness. I didnt like Hwarang and other drama with Kim Ji Won too. But hey, leading ladies didnt have nice chemistries with him any way like Baek Jin Hee had with him in Pots of Gold family drama or Hwang Jung Eum every time.
