Looking for a rom-com K-drama that lifts instead of shreds your heart? This is it.

Why What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim Is Different from Other Chaebol K-Dramas

The K-drama What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim ditches the usual “evil chaebol family” chaos and instead serves up everyday struggles you’ll actually recognize. The chaebol parents tease drama, then flip expectations by being… warm and wonderful. ✨

A Narcissist Worth Rooting For

In What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim, watching narcissistic Vice-Chairman Lee Young-joon slowly realize (thanks to the ever-direct Kim Mi-so) that the world doesn’t revolve around him is pure comedy gold. His ego goes from eye-roll to adorable as their feelings deepen—and those romantic set-pieces? 🔥 Their first swoon-worthy night together ranks right alongside the most iconic K-drama romance scenes, including Nevertheless and My Demon.

Don’t Sleep on the Bromance

A lively bromance sparkles too: Park Yoo-sik, the company president and Young-joon’s best friend, keeps things light—and that ego in check—with his comedic timing and support. If you love K-drama bromances like in Business Proposal or Vincenzo, this dynamic will hit all the right notes.

Why This Drama Works

Glossy, extra, and swoony—but never extreme; the obstacles feel real, and no episode leaves you emotionally wrecked (looking at you, Moon Lovers). It’s one of those feel-good Korean dramas you can rewatch anytime and still get butterflies. If you’re craving something uplifting with emotional growth and romantic payoff, this should be at the top of your queue.

💗 Verdict: Definitely on for your watchlist! 

5 out of 5 finger hearts!  A top-tier Korean romantic comedy boasting swoon-worthy moments and some of K-dramaland’s most unforgettable confession scenes.
