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. Kim is a determined businesswoman who successfully balances femininity and professionalism, making her a force to be reckoned with in the corporate world. Her ability to command the respect of the narcissistic Vice Chairman Youngjun Lee adds an intriguing dynamic to their relationship, which drives the story forward.
However, it is worth noting that the courting of Kim by her boss Youngjin may not resonate with all fans of the rom-com genre. The story emphasizes traditional values, with Youngjin's pursuit of Kim stemming from her desire to start a family. Additionally, Youngjin occasionally uses his position of power to manipulate Kim, creating a power dynamic that may not appeal to everyone. Nevertheless, the focus remains on delivering an engaging romance story, and these themes are not overly exploited or offensive.
Visuals and Artwork
Visually, the artwork in What's Wrong with Secretary Kim? may not be particularly impressive. The color palette is muted, and the characters lack overt expressiveness. However, this is in line with the professional demeanor they maintain in their corporate roles. The simplistic backgrounds further highlight the focus on the story and characters. While the visuals may not be a standout feature, the well-written narrative and complex characters more than make up for it.

IZE Press continues to impress with their selection of titles, bringing popular WebToon series to print.

In Conclusion
In conclusion, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim? is an immaculately written rom-com that will surely be adored by fans of the genre. While it may not appeal to those seeking a departure from traditional values or a story without the trope of a stubborn male lead transforming into an ideal partner, it remains an engaging and entertaining read. With its expressive cast and well-paced storytelling, it successfully captures the essence of Korean rom-com films and TV series.
