To answer the title’s question, nothing is wrong with Secretary Kim (played by Park Min-young). In fact, she is the Rolex of secretaries. Proficient, efficient, confident, and competent. But at the peak of her secretarial career, she unceremoniously turns in her two week notice. This causes her boss, Lee Young-joo (played by Park Seo-joon), to spiral into a comical frenzy. Why? His feelings of friendship, and possibility of something deeper, have been stewing under the surface of his perfect exterior for almost a decade. Having taken her for granted for over nine years, Young-joo's emotions bubble over as we see him face an acute sense of confusion at the potential the loss of his secretary and right-arm woman. What comes next is a series of misunderstandings and office antics between the two as they face the problem of finding a new back-fill, deal with office antics, and eventually face the feelings for each other.
What's endearing about this show is Young-joo. He's unabashedly egotistical and self-absorbed, but his comedic timing in this series is near perfection. At the same time, Secretary Kim is smart and sassy. No damsels-in-distress here. Just sit back and watch these two dynamic personalities clash. Additionally, while we get to learn our couple's backstories and journeys that led to the current situation, the series starts with the dramatic resignation. Rather than get to know the characters as the get to know each other, this is the point where many couples are already giving the traditional 10-year aluminum. This series comes with all the cliches you want in a rom-com including love triangles and office romances, but it also has a nice depth of tackling some of the problems a boss/secretary relationship would encounter. If you want a model of a rom-com that does it right, look no further than What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?
