What is What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim about?

For nine years Kim Mi-so has anticipated every whim of Lee Young-joon, the impossibly vain vice-president of his family’s conglomerate — then hands in her resignation and announces she would like to go and have a life. Unable to accept that anyone could want to leave him, he sets out to keep her, and the two slowly excavate a shared childhood memory that neither of them has ever been able to name.

Critics consensus: Frothy, glossy and entirely reliant on its leads — Park Seo-joon and Park Min-young sell the office-romance clichés with such charm that a late plunge into melodrama barely dents the fun. The cast is led by Park Seo-joon, Park Min-young, Lee Tae-hwan, Kang Ki-young.
