"See every new experience as an opportunity. Don't be hard on yourself. Moreover, don't apologize. Take not just today, but every day, as a learning experience."

I'M SO SAD THIS SERIES IS OVER!! 😭😭😭

I knew I had been super loving it because this is the second time I've read the series (though first time psychically) and seeing the ending all over again was so beautiful! I felt like everything was wrapped up beautifully and I especially loved how Mr. Park had a happy ending because I have appreciated his advice to Youngjun as it has touched me and my own life.

One thing I had forgotten when rereading is how funny the meet-up between in-laws was! Oh my goodness, I laughed so much, especially with how the night ended! Not only that but every time Miso and Yougjun were about to get "lovey-dovey," she would push him away, leading him to get "hurt." LOL!! Definitely one of the best chapters in this volume and one of my favorite "gags" in the series!

Another favorite chapter (well, chapters) was the bonus one and seeing a very special character! He was so adorable and had to laugh at how he viewed Youngjun's antics! I so wish we could see more of him!

Overall, this was a very strong and satisfying ending that left me emotionally happy! It's one I would love to reread again and see their love story unfold once more because it was full of humor, heart, and laughter.

Definitely recommend it if you're looking for an office romance manhwa with a strong mystery arc as well as a shorter series!

How to climb the career ladder - say you want to quit - hmm...
So, on the bright side, I liked Miso's character and professionalism at the beginning of the manhwa, vice-president's words and behaviour, I didn't find him as arrogant and unbearable as Miso describes him. The flashbacks show him reprimanding her for her mistakes but I guess it's understandable, her being a secretary to the vice-president and everything it entails.
The fact that the author didn't drag on unravelling the mystery of their shared past is also a nice surprise.
On the other hand, I found their romance quite whirlwind-like, it takes one 'date' for her to shake the resolution and opinion which was 9 years in the making.
In general, I enoyed her words and actions at the beginning but I was more interested in following the vice-president's development as a character.

Muy entretenido pero alarga mucho el final. Aún así, una serie estupenda (aunque su kdrama la mejora)

Que bonito.

Creo que es un Manwha de los que mas me han gustado, claro, en genero romantico.

Una secretaria y su jefe, de enemigos a amantes, reencuentro del pasado, tiene muchos clichés pero lo disfruté al maximo.

Tiene escenas bastante entretenidas y las ilustraciones son hermosas. Admiro profundamente a todos los equipos y autores que editan y crean los Manhwas, comic, mangas etc. Es un trabajo increíblemente largo detras, cosa que se debería valorar mucho más.

Es livianita y no es una historia muy extensa, vale la pena leer cada uno de sus tomos.

A nice romance wraps up nicely. There's no plot left for the story, so some simple little obstacles are introduced for a swerve here and there as they race to the finish line.

The main story is actually completed three-quarters of the way through the book, but the remaining "Chapters" are filled out with bonus stories, one that jumps back about nine years when Miso Kim was just starting out as a secretary and one that jumps ahead eight years to give a status update -- a little epilogue to the happily ever after. I enjoyed these sections more than the main story's predictable but pleasing denouement.

C'était mignon, girly et très agréable à dire.
En règle générale je n'aime pas les mangas, j'ai du mal avec le sens de lecture, beaucoup non pas de couleur et puis tout simplement je ne suis pas trop bd classique. Je suis plus roman graphique.
Avec Qu'est-ce qui cloche avec la Secrétaire Kim j'ai été embarqué par sa compo classique, sobre et très colorée.

Nous sommes dans une histoire très visuelle, assez cartoonesque. Le couple est classe, glamour et sensuel. Leur relation est assez équilibrée. Ce dernier tome a le mérite de mettre un peu en avant les personnages secondaires, j'avais un peu peur de la fin m'étant un peu ennuyé dans l'avant dernier tome. Et on voit nos personnages en épilogue quelques années après.

Pour le moment je n'ai vu que l'épisode 1 de son adaptation. C'est assez fidèle je dois dire. Une découverte sympathique grâce à Claire et sa Chaîne décalée

Un final un poco truculento que demuestra la relación tóxica de ambos protagonistas. No obstante, me han gustado mucho los momentos de humor que ha habido a lo largo de esta historia 🩷.

El típico manwha salseante y que engancha, pero con una relación que jamás tendría 🫠

J’ai vraiment apprécié ce tome et la fin de cette saga (nos tourtereaux étaient vraiment adorables, comme toujours), mais j’ai trouvé que c’était dommage que nous n’avons pas eu le droit de voir un aperçu du mariage, lui qui était tant attendu..

J’ai cru comprendre que Seongyeon n’était pas un personnage apprécié de certains lecteurs, mais j’aurais aimé qu’il est une conclusion également, le voir au moins avoir une scène avec son frère..Limite je ne serrais pas son existence, j’aurais l’impression qu’il à clairement été oublié de sa propre famille. C’est dommage..

J’ai bien aimé les chapitres bonus avec les enfants et de voir nos héros toujours autant amoureux l’un de l’autre. Une chose est sûre, je n’aurais pas été contre de poursuivre l’aventure avec ces personnages, malheureusement toute bonne chose à une fin.

Unfortunate to say. The last part of this fell off hard. But let’s start from the beginning. The first 4 or so chapters are a hard read. Both main characters felt very stagnant and bitchy. They really got their personality after and it all became just. Like a funny romance story. It was cute. And funny as hell and I laughed so goddamn much. I honestly really liked the. Whole story. The whole kidnapping thing. It was really cool. A good idea and I love some angst. And the chapters that went over their trauma was among some of the best but. After that it really fell off. The two characters never talked about it. They just. “Healed”. And then they were fine. Which is not how it works. I wanted to see them struggle with it. Come to terms. Talk about it a lot. Cry. Drama. It just kinda went like. “Funny funny man does funny silly thing and makes himself look stupid. I saw a woman kill Herself. Oh funny silly man ur so funny and silly”. It just. It’s giving I gave my characters trauma for no reason. AND MY BABY BOY. MY LITTLE MEOW MEOW. THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. The MMC’s brother. He just kinda. Fell off the face of the earth and didn’t get a happy ending. I will never forgive anyone for this because honestly. His story is the most tragic imo. He caused his brother to get kidnapped. He was 9. He was a kid and felt jealous. Kids are dicks. But he felt remorse. He felt guilt for what he did. But he also felt like his parents didn’t love him. And that caused him more guilt. He was a 9 year old child who had to deal with conflicting feelings and didn’t know how to deal with it. He was always alone because he pushed people away and just wanted love. His brain forced him to believe he was kidnapped and not his brother out of guilt and his parents did nothing to help. They tried a little but their feeling of not wanting to look like a broken family overshadowed that and they forced their son to stay like this. He was kept in the dark. Nobody told him. He was lost. Felt like his feelings weren’t his own. Conflicted by different memories. And after he realizes what happens. We have one scene of him saying sorry to the MMC and then he’s never heard from again. I want to give him a hug. I want to pet him and tell him I’ll be there for him. My poor little boy. Because he was right. His parents didn’t love him as much as they loved his brother. And they barely acknowledge or apologize for that. He was 9. This wasn’t his fault. And I’ll stand by that for as long as I live. Looks like we have another Cole situations folks and. It hurts just as bad.


Anyways long story short. Fell off kinda hard but alas. It was fun while it lasted :p

In Summary
Our couple has been through all sorts of trials, and they finally arrive at their happy conclusion. And not just them – even Yusik and the members of Miso’s hard-luck family get their own happy ends (although some aspects are a stretch). The last chapters do include some last misunderstandings for tension, but overall it’s an everything-ends-well finale.

The Review
It’s obvious from the cover design that Miso and Youngjun tie the knot in this volume. However, the first third of the book focuses mainly on the supporting cast. First, sidekick Yusik, who has been the butt of so many jokes, gets his own happy ending. While I’m glad he reconciles with his ex, it’s rather abrupt because the interaction leading up to it is mostly them bickering about the things that caused them to divorce in the first place. Second is Miso’s aged rock guitarist dad going to meet Youngjun’s parents to discuss wedding arrangements. As a financially strapped musician, he’s intimidated at the prospect of mingling with the ultra-wealthy, and not surprisingly, the narrative turns his efforts to compensate for what he lacks into comedy. However, the story also throws in an unexpected twist that breaks all the social barriers down.

The focus switches back to the main couple for the next third of the volume. Interestingly, the story doesn’t end at the wedding. It actually skips from wedding preparations to a month after the ceremony when Miso realizes that she’s pregnant. This is to stir up a last bit of drama as Miso misinterprets Youngjun’s feelings about children. However, it never really gets fraught. This far into the story, you know they’ll work it out, and so this romance comes to its happy conclusion.

The final third of the volume consists of two bonus arcs. The first is a glimpse of young Miso accompanying Youngjun to a corporate event during their time in the United States. The second arc fast forwards nine years into the couple’s marriage. Through the perspective of their son, we get to see what kind of family life Miso and Youngjun have created as well as get a peek at what happens with Yusik and his wife.

Extras include an afterword, bonus art, illustration gallery, artist’s note, and translation notes.

Chronique de la série complète, tomes 1 à 6

Mlle Alice, pouvez-vous nous raconter votre rencontre avec Secrétaire Kim ?
"C'est un des manhwas que l'on croise le plus souvent dans les librairies mais dans un premier temps, les couvertures m'avaient moins attirée que True Beauty, puis j'ai fini par craquer bien sûr."

Dites-nous en un peu plus sur son histoire...
"Kim Mi-So est la secrétaire de Lee Yeong-jun depuis neuf ans déjà lorsqu'elle lui annonce qu'elle démissionne. À l'approche de la trentaine, elle veut pouvoir enfin accorder un peu de temps à sa vie personnelle. Sauf que son patron va très vite se rendre compte qu'il ne peut pas se passer d'elle..."

Mais que s'est-il exactement passé entre vous ?
"J'ai adoré ! Vraiment ! D'ailleurs, je suis allée acheter les tomes 2 à 6 dès que j'ai eu terminé le premier et j'ai ensuite enchaîné avec le drama, c'est dire. C'est une intrigue très classique mais bien menée, et je me suis beaucoup amusée avec Kim Mi-So, complètement hermétique aux colères de son patron que tout le monde craint pourtant. On ne languit pas non plus pendant des tomes et des tomes, d'ailleurs il n'y en a que six au total, ce qui est parfait, et leur histoire d'amour est très vite une évidence tout en évoluant en douceur. J'ai peut-être un peu moins accroché à l'histoire de l'enlèvement, essentiellement à cause du frère, que je trouve juste insupportable, mais j'ai aimé que l'on explore des sujets et des émotions différents selon les chapitres, qu'on ne reste pas en surface, avec des scènes parfois très dures même."

Et comment cela s'est-il fini ?
"Ce n'est peut-être pas utile de le redire mais c'est un coup de coeur. Le dernier tome est un petit peu comme un bonus à lui tout seul, l'histoire aurait pu se terminer plus tôt mais on ne va pas se plaindre d'en avoir plus.

Un dernier petit mot pour souligner le travail de la maison d'édition, KBooks/Delcourt. Pour le moment, c'est de loin celle que je préfère, autant pour les choix des histoires que pour le rendu de l'objet. Et un carnet est même offert avec le dernier tome. Bravo."

3,5

Ultimo volume che ci regala il prevedibile lieto fine - non solo per i protagonisti, ma pure quell'anima pia del direttore Park, che finalmente si rimette insieme all'ex moglie e può vivere felice e contento. L'unico momento angst, durato tipo tre pagine, riguarda la gravidanza imprevista di Miso: il vicedirettore sembra più propenso ad aspettare in modo da potersi godere la loro vita da novelli sposi e, per questo motivo, la nostra Miso si lascia andare a qualche film mentale di troppo, ma, come detto, la cosa si risolve velocemente.
C'e da dire che il livello di dolcezza/sentimento che traspare da questo volume è da carie ai denti. E non mi sto riferendo solo al rapporto tra i due protagonisti, ma pure a quello tra Miso e i suoi futuri suoceri (i due padri mi hanno fatto piegare dal ridere) - suoceri che praticamente la adorano e che, in caso di bisogno, sarebbero pure capaci di togliersi il pane di bocca per darlo a lei (cosa abbastanza improbabile visto il cospicuo conto in banca). Insomma, dopo anni di incomprensioni e di traumi mai del tutto risolti, questa gente sembra aver ritrovato la serenità perduta.

In linea generale, devo dire che questa serie non mi è dispiaciuta: volume dopo volume, ho visto un miglioramento e la trama si è fatta più interessante (sopratutto la parte riguardante il mistero del passato dei due protagonisti e le conseguenze sui rispettivi rapporti familiari). Niente di trascendentale, ma comunque piacevole. Ho apprezzato abbastanza anche i due protagonisti, con una particolare menzione per Youngjun che, alla fine della fiera, non si è rivelato essere il classico manichino stereotipato, ma un personaggio più sfaccettato. Tanto amore anche per Miso, donna tosta, gran lavoratrice e campionessa assoluta nella gestione di un soggetto dall'ego smisurato come il nostro caro Youngjun 😅 (e dopo tutta la fatica fatta per ripagare i debiti del padre, si è trovata un marito bono e pieno di soldi...not bad, no?).
Adesso non mi resta che recuperare il drama e poi penso che passerò all'altro titolo della stessa autrice.

4,5/5 estrellas

Me ha encantado este último volumen, lo he disfrutado muchísimo y creo que es el broche final que se merece la serie.

En el volumen 6 encontraremos muchas escenas que nos harán reír y otras tantas muy emotivas, como la reunión entre los padres de Yeongjun y el padre de Miso, la boda y alguna que otra noticia inesperada pero bien acogida. Me ha gustado mucho como los padres de Yeongjun han tratado a Miso como a una hija propia, sobre todo después de conocer el pasado que compartían, y la manera en la que el padre de Miso ha encajado en ese nuevo círculo perfectamente. Pero sobre todo he adorado los extras del final, me han dejado con el corazón calentito.

En resumen, el manhwa al completo es una delicia, cuando empecé el primer volumen no pensaba que lo iba a disfrutar tanto, ni que me iba a reír a carcajadas con algunas de las escenas. Es una historia que volveré a leer muy a menudo. Si tengo que ponerle un pero es a la actitud de Yeongjun, que por mucho que pasen los años sus celos no cambian, y aunque en ocasiones den un toque cómico a la escena, me sigue chocando ver como en cierta manera Miso los justifica, y eso que Miso tienen bien atado en corto a Yeongjun. Sé que puede ser normal esa actitud en la sociedad coreana, pero a mí me ha chocado que sea así hasta el final.

Por lo demás os recomiendo mucho ¿Qué le pasa a la secretaria Kim? y ahora que está completa no os la podéis perder.

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆

Volume 6 of What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim? was a fun, swoony continuation of the series, but I have to admit—the ending felt a little rushed. The build-up throughout the earlier chapters was strong, and I loved seeing more depth to the characters’ relationship, along with the usual mix of humor and heartfelt moments. The banter and chemistry are still as charming as ever, and the art continues to be gorgeous.

That said, when it came time to wrap things up, it all seemed to happen a little too quickly. Some plot threads could have used a bit more breathing room, and I would have loved a longer, more satisfying resolution after investing so much in these characters. It’s not that the ending was bad—it just felt like it needed a few more chapters to land with the same emotional weight as the rest of the series.

Still, this volume is absolutely worth reading if you’re following along. It’s funny, romantic, and filled with the sweetness fans expect, even if the conclusion didn’t quite live up to the pacing of the journey. A solid 4 stars from me.

AAAAAAAAY ese final y ese epílogo y TODO es tan lindo!
Al final de todo nuestros protas tienen una vida hermosa juntos y el vice sigue siendo el vice pero con más corazón(?

Algo que hubiera querido es que le pongan aunque sea una foto de la boda, che, me re dejaron fuera. Pero el resto es muy lindo y esa carita con la noticia de Miso! Awww

El epilogo es todo un poema. Ese nene es todo lo que está bien en el mundo, entienden? Es el padre en calco y me encanta porque refleja claramente el miedo de los padres, de que los hijos nos salgan así de inteligentes (y vivos) desde chiquitos jajajajaa pero no deja de ser una ternurita y le da el toque final perfecto.

Ame toda la historia, el desarrollo, el trasfondo, la evolución y la conexión con cada uno. Todo tenía un lugar y un por qué y no deja cabos sueltos. Me voy a terminar la serie de un saque porque la estoy amando fuerte y es firmemente fiel a la historia original, aunque tiee sus variaciones como en toda adaptación.

En general la historia me ha parecido bastante entretenida e interesante con todo el tema del secuestro, como la familia del vicepresidente sufrió por ello y el proceso de sanación que tuvieron cuando por fin se sentaron a hablar de lo que sucedió.

La relación de la pareja principal me gustó, pero si es verdad que ciertas cositas del prota me disgustaron, en especial sus celos por cosas demasiado pendejas. Gracias a dios Miso es la racional de la relación y lo ponía en su sitio.

Es una historia entretenida, pero ya he leído tanto romance no me trae nada nuevo y emocionante a mi vida. Buena para pasar el rato y salir de un bloqueo lector.

Me gusta mucho el estilo de dibujo de la autora y la protagonista me cae bien y me ha parecido creíble su evolución, pero para mí la pega está en el protagonista masculino. Aunque mejora mucho, sus celos y algunas de sus acciones no me han gustado nada (sobre todo al final tras tantos años juntos). Eso sí, me ha parecido refrescante que el protagonista fuera virgen (aunque haya tenido que ser por el trauma).

Además, parece un poco forzado el secreto que tiene la trama y se soluciona quizá muy fácilmente y no acaba de convencerme. Creo que tenía potencial la historia y se ha quedado un poco floja. De todas formas, creo que leeré la otra historia de la autora.

Bonne fin avec un eu trop d’élipses à mon goût.
Bien, mais tellement de non-dits, de scènes sautées pour réellement ressentir les sentiments des deux héros. J’ai bien aimé qu’on est une approche dans les bonus, du « et après ? » qui donne même envie d’avoir une suite 15 ans après.
Good ending with too many ellipsis for my taste.
Good, but so many things left unsaid, skipped scenes to really feel the feelings of the two heroes. I liked that we have an approach in the bonuses, of “what next? » which even makes you want to have a sequel 15 years later.
