'My Perfect Secretary' starring Han Ji-min and Lee Jun-hyuk is firmly maintaining its position as the unbeatable weekend drama with its perfect close-care romance.
SBS's weekend drama 'My Perfect Secretary' (written by Ji Eun, directed by Ham Joon-ho and Kim Jae-hong) is drawing explosive reactions from viewers every episode. The drama, which started with a reverse cliché romance between the cold female CEO Ji-yoon (Han Ji-min) and the warm male secretary Eun-ho (Lee Jun-hyuk), is continuously upgrading the excitement level as the episodes progress.
First, the 'Kang-yu couple' Ji-yoon and Eun-ho clearly showcased why "adult romance is different." From their first meeting, which was filled with tension, the two created an unusual atmosphere, and as they met again as CEO and secretary, they perfectly depicted the growing emotional connection between them.
In particular, after acknowledging their feelings for each other, their bold honesty without running away is a point that viewers cheer for the most. After realizing her feelings, Ji-yoon confessed first, saying, "I like you, Yoo Eun-ho," and when Eun-ho had a date (?) with Su-hyun (Kim Yoon-hye), she held him back, saying, "Don't watch that movie."
Eun-ho, who was also troubled by the need to raise his daughter, eventually focused solely on love after saying, "I'll go," and rushing to Ji-yoon. He became so excited that his daughter Byeol (Ki So-yu) noticed, often looking in the mirror and holding his phone like a child, but when he switched to work mode, he boldly expressed his affection, transforming into a 'real man.' This straightforward romance, where both characters openly express their feelings, has amplified the excitement level.
The addition of a spoonful of comedy amidst the intense romantic tension is a hallmark of 'My Perfect Secretary,' which allows no room for dullness. The scene where Eun-ho holds Ji-yoon's hand while she has a nightmare and stays by her side all night is filled with sweet excitement, but when they oversleep and rush to avoid running into Byeol, it perfectly balances comedy and romance.
The moment Eun-ho, enjoying a thrilling secret office romance, almost gets caught by the sharp-eyed Mi-ae (Lee Sang-hee) and Ji-yoon secretly laughs at him is simply adorable. This is why viewers can't help but be captivated by the 'Kang-yu couple.'
Above all, at the center of 'My Perfect Secretary,' which has captured viewers' hearts, is the perfect chemistry between Han Ji-min and Lee Jun-hyuk, who are breaking records with each episode. The romance between the cold CEO and the warm secretary, portrayed with a combination of faces that everyone acknowledges, resonates even more powerfully with the audience.
Moreover, their natural romantic acting has completed the narrative of Ji-yoon and Eun-ho. In particular, Han Ji-min portrayed Ji-yoon's realization of love with just her eyes, while Lee Jun-hyuk melted not only Ji-yoon's heart but also the viewers' hearts with his sincere and warm demeanor, making it impossible for the audience not to be thrilled. With only four episodes left, all eyes are on how 'My Perfect Secretary' will conclude perfectly.
Meanwhile, a special broadcast of 'My Perfect Secretary' will air at 10 PM on the 31st. The 9th episode of 'My Perfect Secretary' will be broadcast on February 1st at 9:50 PM.
