01 / A closer look

The story, without the spoilers.

Lee Young-joon is a brilliant, handsome vice-chairman who believes he is perfect in every way, and he may be right about the business part. For nine years, his secretary Kim Mi-so has run his life flawlessly: his schedule, his meals, his moods. Then she hands in her resignation, saying she wants a life of her own, and Young-joon finally realises he has no idea how to function without her — or how he truly feels about her. What's Wrong with Secretary Kim is a bright, polished romantic comedy built on two leads with effortless chemistry. Park Seo-jun is hilarious as a narcissist learning humility, and Park Min-young is warm and capable as a woman claiming her own future. The childhood trauma subplot is heavier than the comedy around it, and the ending is gentle rather than explosive, but as a feel-good office romance it is hard to beat. Watch it when you want to smile.
