“What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim?” Review

whats wrong with secretary Kim

Per usual, when I finish binge watching one drama, I have to find 3 more to start watching. Insert What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim?  being added to my list of dramas that I am watching. The Koreans were loving it, as it has amazing reviews. So, I had to see what the fuss was about!

I am watching What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim? on Viki at the moment. I must say, I am truly enjoying it. This drama stars Park Seo-Joon and Park Min-Young. Park Seo-Joon plays Lee Young Joon, a perfectionist vice-chairman at Yoomyung Group and Park Min-Young plays his perfect secretary of 9 years who has just put in her notice of resignation. After realizing that he is going to lose his perfect secretary, Park Seo-Joon realizes that her perfection isn’t because she does her job well, but because she is perfect for him. The story follows their journey as they slowly fall in love.
