...
the production was good, I can't complain .I also say that the performance was incredible, it would be a sin if I complained.
I love the actors, I loved the characters.
Of course, not everything is perfect, I can't lie, but what a drama that doesn't have a single flaw.
So in conclusion, I recommend...
I say it's worth watching, maybe it's bad for some, but for me it was good.
This is just my opinion, you better watch it and have your own opinion.
I don't know what to say, because I think everyone has their own opinion.

Where can I find my Secretary Kim ?
Grown man blubbing like an idiot here ?What a joyful and wonderful show - I didn't want it to end but it was so well contained. The premise reminded me of the film, Two Weeks Notice with Hugh Grant (Park Seo-Joon's character - Lee Young-Joon) and Sandra Bullock (Park Min-Young's character Kim Mi-So/Secretary Kim) as his loyal exec secretary of nine years.
What unfolds is a charming and heart-warming story and in the classic KDrama way, it has an intricate subplot.
It addition to that the supporting cast got a really decent amount of screen time and it allowed the viewer to both root for them as well and find out more about their story. I felt they did that really well. In fact (spoiler alert) one the couples that forms would make for a great spinoff or web drama.
My only negative is that it follows the cliched rich guy/poor girl love story, but look past that and you see a real journey for Mi-So in finding her path in life, learning to say no and be happy. Sometimes I felt that Mi-So bent over a bit too easily when I think she was actually in the right and Seojoon should have stopped whining and apologies.
Having said that, this could have been lost in translation as I was relying on captions.
Finally can we take a moment to appreciate all the Maserati's driven in this show :)
I'd happily watch this again - it filled me with warmth and joy. Now, where can I find my own Secretary Kim ?

A história é muito boa
A primeira vista lendo somente a sinopse, é possivel achar que a história é somente mais um clichê dos doramas, porém é muito mais que isso. A relação que o casal principal vai construindo é feita de maneira gradual, não deixando brechas para pensarmos que aquele amor é tóxico ou motivado por outra coisa que não seja o verdadeiro sentimento dos envolvidos. A história é surpreendente e te prende do início ao fim, sendo esse admirável. A atuação de todo o elenco é impecável, eles entregam tudo o que você espera do personagem. Além disso, ainda te trás alívio cômico sempre com a ajuda dos coadjuvantes e até dos personagens principais. Esse dorama é simplesmente perfeito (na minha opinião), e de forma técnica ele também é muito bom. OBS= se você gosta de uma temática mais adulta e de um dorama com um pouco mais do que somente alguns beijos, esse é pra você.Was this review helpful to you?

It was a very trending drama while aired, but a lot of people didn't like how the story went. I honestly don't know why. While the last 2 episodes doesn't add anything to it, not in a good or bad way, all the rest of the chapters went really well. The romance is charming - you are always rotting for them, cheering for his ideas, respecting her values, loving the support cast, wanting to know more about how they meet in the first place.
But it's a romcom. As as a romcom it's fantastic. I laughed, I loved, and I would watch again when needed a nice and happy drama, without all the melodrama some romcoms sometimes inserts in the middle of the episodes. And honestly, there's 2 hot scenes that gah! awesome!

All the characters, not just the main ones, have a well developed personality and sometimes you like one of them even more than the mains (president Park was just doo adorable).
All in all, I would always recommend to watch and have watched it twice at this point. It got my best friend into K-drama as well.

At first, I was annoyed that the main male character Lee Young Joon is highly narcissistic then I expect. For few starting episodes, I just want him to stop being narcissistic and start thinking about others but anyways he came around. As for the other character, I don't like Bong Se Ra she is just annoying. But actors did their best to show the actual character which given to them.
Music was dead on spot, where it was needed.
Rewatching material.
Overall I loved it.

Rather simple rom-com with surpisingly dark moments, fails to keep up the pace over all episodes
Charming and interesting beginning, it's also nice that they didn't feel the need to take in an overdramatic break-up in the middle, however, the ending episodes therefore are quite slow and dragged out, with the office scenes repeating and nothing new coming. It's especially weird how the two seem extremely secretary-boss like even in the final episodes, their chemistry is there in a form, but the development in their story doesn't always translate to the way they act around each other and in a way it seems like, despite all the hardships they faced, their relationship still is quite shallow and not of much substance.Was this review helpful to you?

If you want a hype and straightforward love story I recommend it,the chemistry between two main characters are unique and cute in its own way specially Park Seo Joon's acting is really amazing in every single way.The writing of the drama is quite disappointing because the main plot is rushed and I'm amazed that they could bring more story than the plot itself although a bit of it was kinda dull.The story of what happened in them in their childhood is summarized in just 1 ep and handled quickly that I was not expecting but I appreciate that and I'm amazed how the story is pure,sincere and special How many kissing scene do they have and specially that bed scene that really blows up everyone.I ship every couple in the drama.Summarized of all; the story and the drama itself made me laugh,excited,angry,sad,cry because of the actors did very well delivering it in a way that you can really felt what's going on.I'm really contented with the ending of the story.

I admit the first ~4 episodes were difficult to watch. A lot of scenes were cringey that I had to walk out in disbelief a few times (Young Joon’s narcissism was over the top and I was wondering how they could possibly develop his character to show that he truly loved Kim Mi So with that kind of personality) ... BUT I had to keep going, thinking “theres a reason its highly rated”.
After the first few episodes, I realized that all those cringey moments were a part of the character development process and for comical relief in the later episodes.
All the actors and actresses were so beautiful and handsome. The chemistry was amazing! I was swooning so much my cheeks hurt! The side romances were also cuuuute!
Trust! This show is worth watching if you’re looking for something light, cute, and fluffy!

Typical rom-com office drama
Basically, there is nothing special or super interesting in this drama. It was so popular when this drama aired. What makes this drama well-liked? I believe it is because of Park Seo Joon (Lee Young Joon). But sadly, I didn't like his character in this story. I believe that he suits a funny and unserious type of character more.The first episode was great, but it didn't even last long. I was excited to see Kim Miso (Park Minyoung) out of that company and see her live her life to the fullest, but there is not one episode where she is not in that company. It just gets boring seeing them act like a secretary-boss duo when they are already in a relationship, and because of this I don't feel any chemistry to both of them as a couple. The family of Miso just randomly pops out of nowhere that they don't seem like a family.
What makes this drama a typical rom-com office drama? You know those overly successful narcissistic male leads with the girl he likes who is always beside him and keeps telling her what she should and should not do? A traumatic past experience? The family of the male lead is always awkward with each other because they don't have a good bond either with the parents or one of the siblings, and the list goes on. I could literally enumerate the K-dramas with the same plot.
Overall, I'll just give it a 6/10. Not bad, but not good. The only thing I loved in this drama was Kim Miso's outfits.
