Beautiful
actress Oh Yoon-seo is in a slump – a scandal forced her into
“early retirement,” but she is optimistic about making a
comeback. When she comes across a script with a role of lawyer's
secretary, she jumps at the chance to prove herself. Through
connections between her talent agency and the CEO of a law firm, she
agrees to become a temporary secretary to hopefully improve her
famously terrible acting. What happens when she is teamed up with the
office grump? Will Lawyer Kwon Jung-rok force her to quit with all
the extra tasks and demands, or will something more come from their
relationship?
*This
is such a cute show! It might be a little TOO sweet at times, but
there's great comedy in here as well, with perfectly timed sound
effects as well as hilarious, over-the-top, “extra” characters.
One of the side stories was boring, though – the relationship
between Jung-rok's old college friends – and it didn't add anything
to the story whatsoever. I did enjoy the legal cases sprinkled in the
drama; it kept things fresh without dragging on or becoming too dark.
The leads actually communicated clearly, in a mature fashion, which
was refreshing. There is lots of product placement evident in the
show, but it is usually fairly subtle, so not too distracting. The
only reason this doesn't get a higher grade is because the main actor
isn't my type :p (Lee Dong-wook from “Goblin” 2017). Otherwise, a
very fun drama! Would watch again.*
