The Secret Life of My Secretary
(2019 - Viki, 32 0:35 eps)
Perfect for a relaxing, silly romcom! The leads have super-cute chemistry. A typical chaebol & overworked, underappreciated secretary trope with the tiny twist of the boss having a disability that makes him very reliant on his secretary. The 2nd leads are great - especially Veronica Park - she's so over-the-top it's amusing. All 4 leads get some good character development.
Turn your brain off to believe some of the plot, and it's all good fun. This would be a good one to play kDrama bingo with - so many tropes. Although, the mystery of what's happening in the company is unexpected. There's just enough angst - worrying about who's behind the trouble & whether the secretary's secret will be discovered - to keep it interesting.

Noble, My Love
(2015 - Viki, 20 15min eps)
So glad this one was short. I get the feeling that this was the 1st run at "My Secret Romance" - which thankfully got a better director. Aside from the occupation of the FL, the story is about the same - down to the hiccups. But this one is so bad in spots you have to laugh. A horrible "fish" kiss after falling off a ladder was held for much, much, much too long. I can't imagine what the director was thinking.
The FL is a vet. so there are cute animals. The horribly manipulative CEO who backs the FL into no-choice corners is there, along with the mandatory love triangle to make the ML realize his feelings. kDrama tropes through & through.
Still, kind of a fun watch in a B-movie sort of way.
