Professional
secretary Jwa Yoon-yi is one of the best in her field. She keeps
things in the office running smoothly, juggling many tasks at a time
as an assistant to all. However, this includes handling her boss's
many affairs and keeping his wife in the dark. Yoon-yi complies in
order to keep her job, but it backfires once her boss allows some
ugly rumors to spread. In the wrong light, Yoon-yi's professional
attentions are misinterpreted as something more with the married man,
and to save himself, her boss does not deny the accusations. What
happens when Yoon-yi is reassigned to be a secretary for the cold,
distant Nam Chi-won in the same company? Will her professionalism and
cheeriness help make Nam Chi-won into a truly respectable boss? And
will they be able to save their “whistle blowing” department from
reorganization?
*The
first two-thirds of this drama had great pacing and some wonderful
comedy. Even the villain is comedic. Yoon-yi and Chi-won are not my
favorite couple, though, and I ended up enjoying the background
characters more than the main story/couple. It's also a bit slow
getting started, and it drags towards the end. The ending itself ties everything up nicely, and it is a good quality production, so I
might watch this again.*
