What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?

This review may contain mild spoilers. What's Wrong With Secretary Kim is not your typical office romance. Ms Kim Miso, the headstrong female lead, is the perfect secretary to the world's toughest boss, Lee Yungjoon. Well she WAS the perfect secretary, because after nine long years without a single day off, Kim Miso has had enough. Her sudden decision to quit has Lee Yungjoon frustrated and confused. How dare she leave his side? Characters: 9/10 - Kim Miso is a seemingly average girl who has grown quite the reputation. After working for an impossible boss, she can handle anything with class. We are introduced to acapable woman, but it's made clear that she wasn't always this way. Kim Miso is a fully fleshed out character. We learn about her goals and dreams, her family and their influence, her own personality. She's searching for someone crucial to her foggy memory. With Kim Miso as our main narrator, we relate to just how overwhelming her job really is. Most of us are not the super elite, rich boss, but the super poor secretary. Lee Yungjoon is god's gift to earth. Beautiful, arrogant, rich, smart... the list goes on and on. When Kim Miso says she wants to quit, his world is immediately put in jeopardy. How could he lose the secretary he describes as "a finely tailored suit" without putting up a fight? Throughout the story, we learn he may not be as simple as a cocky boss. Lee Yungjoon is the biggest surprise to this story. The side characters in this story are just as rich in personality as the main ones. Miso's family was warm and provided a great board for Miso to bounce her worries off of. President Park is a great comedic foil to Lee Yungjoon's seemingly perfect visage. Every interaction with these charcters is meaningful to the plot in some way. Plot: 9/10 - When I say you will not guess what happens, I mean you WILL NOT guess what happens. The overarching story of the romance between Miso and Yungjoon is comedic and fresh. Their romantic relationship starts as a way for Yungjoon to keep her around. Why he's so determind to keep Miso is the heart of this story. A backstory no one could have predicted tie these two characters together. The pacing is phenominal. There are no misunderstandings, miscommunications, or silly accidents. This story feels believable, down to the last detail. The romance that blooms between these two is beautiful. I love these two characters, and Miso might be my personal favorite female lead I've ever read. This is a beautiful romance, and authors Kim Myeongmi and Jung Kyun-Joon do an amazing job really letting us explore the world of these two. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves romance, mystery, and comedy.
