Okay OkaySecret Lyfe of My Secretary lemme just reorganize my thoughts a bit here after that wtfery at the beginning.

Because you know what, this drama is still weirdly good.

A list of great things about this episode:
Min Ik crying and making up with Dae Ju, because bromance.
Gal Hee crying into her brother’s shoulder because that’s what older brothers are for.
Min Ik telling his mum about the peanuts.
Veronica Park.
The cast heart. (Please raise your hand if you would do the same. 🙋)
Gal Hee and her sister Nam Hee and the mirror of situations between Gal Hee and Min Ik.
“Hiding is worse than lying”
Veronica freaking Park.

And even though the background to the drama at the start is based on probably the most insane turn of events since goodness knows what and even though turning over Min Ik’s face blindness to the enemy is MEAN, I mean I can’t even hate Secretary Batwoman that much. BECAUSE SHE HAS A DECENT MOTIVATION. like wtf. This show is INSANE and yet the villain? Thing? Fish cult leader? Has a good motivation? What the hell.
The other directors are two dimensional as frik but Secretary Batwoman isn’t!!!!

If The Horse and His Carrot Boy makes me question on a daily basis how such a great team of writers could have fallen so far then The Secretary Lyfe of My Secret makes me question on a daily basis how the frik this show is, 80% The Most Ridiculous Thing Ever and 20% actually great, works.
Because it does! It shouldn’t but it does.
The actors are definitely the biggest seller no questions asked, and the director is good but even the writer, when they’re not doing CRAZY SHIT with the plot has decent enough character writing for me to write about and honestly it’s the biggest twist since whatever the last thing was to have a big twist.

I was expecting this show to crash and burn by now.
Why am I more invested in this than when I started.

    Parts of the show is as good as it can be. While other parts of the show is utter nonsense. I love it. Your fish cult theory did turn out to be true haha 😂

    It is crazy. When you think about it logically, you should have dropped this show long ago. But you just can’t….

    I can’t believe the fish is at the root of everything. I guess Dae Ju gets his earnest, devoted nature from his mom, who put her life on the line to save it. But what is it with trucks in Korea — no brakes? A real truck could have stopped way before hitting that woman, instead of accelerating. Which is beside the point, but still, seriously? And what, did Dae Ju never learn how/why his mom died? Or is that coming up today?

    Maybe the evil father’s evil brother will come to a nasty end, choking on a fish bone? Too much to hope for?

    The show in a nutshell: it shouldn’t work, but it does. Also, I like the aliases we’re coming up with: Faux-ronica Park (now, thankfully, a thing of the past) and Secretary Batwoman.
