Engaging Characters and Witty Humor
The strength of this modern romance tale lies in its sharp writing and witty humor. The characters, particularly Secretary Kim, are well-developed and relatable.

Nevertheless, the focus remains on delivering an engaging romance story, and these themes are not overly exploited or offensive.
