Meu Romance Secreto (2017)

Light And Simple Romance

I always looking for rom-com kdrama and I found this one. Personally I think this drama is quite slow. Maybe it's because it's a romantic drama and you should know already that every scene is romantic also.

I watched until the end because i am the one kind of person who will finish any drama that I had started. The acting are good. I really like the secretary man. He's cute and funny also. Hye-Ri and the mother of female lead are annoying. I think if I met these two person in reality, I will punch them.

Actually, I think the problem is simple. It started with the female lead who is scared to let everybody know that the little boy is her half-brother. For me even if she is embarrassed to have a mother like her, but she should be happy she has a younger brother. She should let people acknowledge her brother. Or at least she can just share with the male lead only.

If she tell him the truth, I think the problem will not be dragged until become worst. Well, anyway, it's drama right? Just follow what the director did. Oh, overall, it's just so-so. And one more thing, I really like the way he kissed her. 😍

I was really interested at the beginning but...

I found out about this drama while I was randomly searching for something to watch. I was kinda interested by the plot 'cause it had all the clichés that I really love in a drama: good-looking boss, the cute main girl character and the "teasing each other at the beginning but then falling in love" relationship. I watched the first 10 episodes in 2 days 'cause I was really enjoying it but then, from episode 11, I started to get bored. Basically from episode 11 to episode 14 we see nothing but flashbacks from the previous episodes and the story gets really slow. I was so freaking disappointed 'cause it's not the best drama that you will ever watch in your life, but it had some potential. The actors were really good (I was really impress by the male lead for example) and the show made me even laugh in some points. I recommend watching it, just lower your expectations for the second half of the series and the ending.

Boss from Hell (and not in a funny way)

Maybe I could have gotten into the story, if the core component of it were not the fact that the male lead abuses his position as employer vis a vis the female lead.
Imagine the situation: You are at a new job. As a newbie, you are learning the ropes of what life will be like in this new company. And the first thing that happens, is that your boss tells you that you are bad at your job. Not once, not twice -- but continually. You need the job to live -- so you try harder, but the boss gives you no specific feedback, In fact, the situation escalates -- the boss now tells you that you need to do unreasonable things or you will get fired. This is the kind of boss that goes viral on social media when the story gets out.
Since this is a drama, Munchhausen syndrome kicks in and you fall in love with the boss.
Yep, beautiful story.
Definitely need to stop watching so-called romantic comedies. I am starting to demand a wisp of reality from them.
What was surprisingly bad and annoying was the music in this -- I have grown to expect world-class musical background in kdramas; this was nowhere in sight (or in hearing) in this one. Not that the music was necessarily bad -- it may have worked in a different context, and if it were integrated more into the story.
The actors try, but with this story they cannot succeed.

so sweeeet

Very heartfelt and pure. It takes an unorthodox way to fall in love and normalizes it a bit. What I loved the most was that even after a one night stand and years later, the main male character Jinwook does not try to be a spiteful, coldhearted bad guy. he's really sweet, patient and dedicated to the Yoo Mi. They have great chemistry and the show touches a lot into their complicated family background. Their love story is simply pure. what more can i say. I still adore this drama, for some reason it leaves those tingling lingering feelings. The side characters were great as well.

The story of this drama is pretty cliche. I will resume it in my own words. This story is about a couple who meet and they had "something" that last just one night. They never see each other again until she starts working for him. The main girl has a lot of traumas and it's really immature for her age (28). She doesn't know how to forgive people. She is inmature because she is unable to address her problems and fix them, more than a mature character, for me she is just like a teenager. This is the same story as a lot of dramas, the rich guy, and the father who tries to control him all the time. This story is really really cliche. The only good thing about this drama is the CHEMISTRY AND THE MAIN LEAD ROMANCE. It's pretty good. There are kisses and a lot of chemistry, sexy scenes. But nothing more than that.
The acting was just fine, it wasnt bad but she could have done a better job.
The music is just fine. Overall, I do like this drama and I think its beautiful but they miss a lot of things, this drama could have been a masterpiece with those two main leads, but they just ruined it. Because the story has nothing special, it's repetitive EVERY single episode.

I love sweet romances full of kisses and cuteness and fluff, and I like Sung Hoon's appearance, his deep voice, and the way he makes handles every romance scene. That man could make me believe he's in love, he's a businessman, and he's charming.

Those are my purely frivolous reasons for rating this an 8.

It had everything that I liked so I rated it accordingly. When looking for stuff to watch, I don;t always want deep plot lines to go with the romance, just good plotlines.

This had a good plot (fluffy, but good), and it was maybe an episode too long, but who doesn't like longer when there's an abundance of kisses added to the long bits? I have to say, I adored the characters here, not only because Cha Jin Wook stood firm with his feelings on his girl. Not once did he give up on her.

Hearts all around!!

Cliché Fluffy Rom-com

This is not like your typical k-drama where it takes 10 episodes for the lead couple to hold hands. Although, it does have some typical k-drama tropes (e.g rich family doesn’t want poor girl to be with their son).

positives
+ kissing scenes were not cringey to watch unlike a lot of other older k-dramas.
+ the lead male falls first is one of my favourite tropes
+ the acting was amazing
+ a lot of chemistry between the leads
+ glad they didn’t drag out the best friend falling for female lead storyline

negatives
- not sure if it is because it’s an older drama but the production quality did not seem very high. The music at times were too loud that it was hard to hear the actors and then even without the music, the audio wasn’t the best at times.
- last 2/3 episodes dragged
- didn’t enjoy the mother as an adult actress storyline

It is definitely a drama to watch when you want cute fluffy scenes.
