A bit conflicted on this show. Sure, the boss-subordinate romance trope is recycled. Sure, What's Wrong With Secretary Kim (2018) probably did have some sway on my opinion. Sure, this show is full of writing nonsense we thought was left behind in yesteryears'.

But still, the show is relatively lighthearted and remained that way for the most part. It's a bit cute, a bit emotional, a bit dramatic. Both also a bit frustrating, a bit annoying, and a bit draggy. You really have to turn off your brain and just take things at face value here. It's literally "oh my god are you kidding me?" multiplied several folds over. The plot gets a bit wacky, production is just there, and I wasn't particular fond of a lot of the characters.

In that same vein, yes, as we all know very well a particular female secondary character became a fan favorite and a show stealer. VERONICA PARK, that is. The statement "My favorite parts were the Veronica Park scenes" or "I only kept watching for Veronica Park" isn't hyperbole at all. And that's honestly not saying much for the show itself considering it was supposed to be more about the secret life of a certain secretary.
