Estupendo, como los anteriores. Aquí ya conocemos la trama seria, que te deja con las patas colgando, y se avanza mucho en la relación entre ambos.
Sorpresas, dramones, amorcito y risas. Me encanta.

Au début c'était parti pour mettre 3 étoiles, mais la dernière partie rattrape tout alors c'est un 4.


Bon c'était bien. Vraiment bien, surtout vers la fin j'ai eu les larmes aux yeux, mais au début c'était plutôt bof 😬

La romance a commencé à m'ennuyer au bout de 30/40 pages, je n'étais plus trop intéressée. En fait à partir du moment où les personnages sont en couple, ça ne m'intéresse plus (basta, fin de l'histoire j'ai mon happy end). Et au début ce n'était que ça : le couple est formé on voit comment il évolue (je m'en fiche royal, ce que j'aime surtout, c'est toute la tension avant 😏)

Autre chose : la façon dont le boss (sorry, je n'ai plus son nom) parle à Kim « Je vous interdis de parler à mon frère » (bah non en fait elle est libre, elle fait ce qu'elle veut, bref😒).

MAIS, la dernière partie a tout rattrapé, c'était vraiment trop pépite, toute les scènes sur le kidnapping était génial (j'aurais voulu que la série soit sur ça et légèrement moins sur la romance je crois 🤣). Meilleur passage pour moi de toute l'histoire sur Kim et son boss, c'était vraiment trop bien, j'étais à deux doigts de pleurer 🤧

Even though I more or less knew what the truth between the brothers was, seeing it laid out on the page was somehow more shocking. The levels of drama in this series are off the charts, but somehow still not ludicrously melodramatic.

"All I am saying is, when a couple decides to face each other they need to strip down completely and show they have nothing to hide. . . . In short, take the underwear off your heart."

Wow! This was a slightly triggering volume compared to the previous volumes!

While the beginning had me squealing because ROMANTIC DEVELOPMENT, the last half/quarter had me on the edge of my seat and my heart breaking in two! Not only that though, I feel SO much anger towards the parents because while I get being a parent is hard (I'm one too), why in the world would they think the aftermath of how everything was "okay"?! To let it go on because it was "easy" and maybe less painful?? So many lies told or encouraged that resulted in more heartache!

I can honestly say I am shocked that Youngjun doesn't have resentment towards his parents for everything he went through. The things they ALLOWED to happen simply because they didn't want things to get worse, but in turn, made it seem like his REAL story didn't matter. He truly raised himself up by becoming the strongest man he could be, which is incredible…but it's that very thought that carried him since he was nine years old that also makes me incredibly sad.

The ending was definitely a cliffhanger and I wonder what is going to happen next! EVERYTHING is out in the open, with the truth FINALLY being revealed and/or realized. I would say because of that, Mr. Park's conversation with Youngjun about "taking the underwear off your heart" was especially meaningful. I hope Youngjun realizes how amazing of a friend he has and that genuine healing can take place in his heart AND Miso's heart too.

"It takes different forms, but everyone struggles. You're not the only one who has it hard."

Trigger Warning: Kidnapping and Suicide
What's Wrong with Secretary Kim follows Kim Miso who is the secretary to Lee Youngjun, the CEO of a company. When Miso decides to quit to start living her life, Youngjun ends up in a spiral and will do anything to keep Miso with him as his secretary.
Please make sure to be aware of the triggers in this manhwa as this was a rougher volume to read as there is a lot that happens.
I love this series so much and the way this handles all of the difficult topics it talks about is so interesting. We finally find out more about what happened to Miso and hte mysterious boy when she was a child along with her fear of spiders. I feel like this volume really demonstrates Miso growing closer to Youngjun as they start to open up to each other. I do need Youngjun's brother to step off though because he's becoming a nuisance. The way this volume needed has me so ready for the next volume because I need to know what's going to happen next.
I would highly recommend this manhwa as I love the story and the art in this manhwa is just gorgeous.

I thought I couldn’t hate his brother even more but that man has an uncanny ability to be completely and utterly detestable. So good for him I guess.

This was definitely the darkest installment so far and although I have already seen the drama so I knew the full story it still was so horrifying to read. I’m glad there were some good romantic scenes to balance it out.

I can’t wait for the next installment so that I can add more reasons to fuel my hatred for the brother.

The big reveal about the childhood kidnapping of the protagonist plays out in its oh-so-predictable and very cheesy manner.

I'm not sure how it's going to take two more volumes to wrap up this very obvious tale, but I'm enjoying my time with the lead characters so I'm not going to complain. And I have them on hand from the library right now, so I'll be finishing this weekend.

Tengo una vaga sensación mental de haber leído esta historia anteriormente pero supongo que fue ¿irrelevante? Que me parece que no lo hice.
Se aclara el arco del secuestro, la relación avanza, sigue sin haber trama y no se profundiza en los personajes secundarios. Todos aceptan a Don narcisista como pareja de ella de plano.
Incluso el drama de la secuestradora no tiene sentido. No sé por qué sigo leyendo.

Mi è piaciuto, ma non so se riesco a credere alla difesa mentale del fratello maggiore (che di base ha sempre invidiato e non sopportava il minore), oltre al fatto che davvero non comprendo la correlazione fra il cessato odio da parte sua e l'amnesia del protagonista. Mentre mi ha stupito la verità su quest'ultimo. Un volume emozionante sotto vari punti di vista. Non vedo l'ora di leggere il successivo!

Well, that got dark fast. At the beginning of this series, I wanted to strangle Youngjun and then I get to this part, and holyyy crap…let me hug him!!!! Let him cry on my shoulder!!!! He was that brave at just 9 years old. My heart hurts so much for him.

103/2022 ¿Qué le pasa a la secretaria Kim? Volumen 4. Kim Myeongmi y Jeong Gyeong Yum. Traducido por Marta Sánchez. Kitsune Manga. 240 páginas. Leído en papel

Por fin, por fin avanza la trama romántica entre la secretaria Kim y su jefe. Que ella lleva cuatro tomos diciendo que se va, que quiere casarse y ""formar una familia"" y su jefe que no se va. Pues si os gustáis...

El dibujo es muy mono y la historia también, estoy deseando leer los dos últimos.

Il y a eu beaucoup de révélations dans ce tome.
J’ai appris pleins de choses et je me demande ce que vont être les conséquences car il y a beaucoup d’injustice envers Lee Yeongjun.

Je sais enfin ce qu’il s’est passé pendant le kidnapping et après. Cela m’a permis de mieux comprendre le comportement Lee Yeongjun et de savoir pourquoi sa relation avec son frère est très tendue.
J’ai aimé le fait que Kim ne se laisse pas influencer. Elle se fait son propre avis sur le sujet.

La relation entre Lee Yeongjun et Kim Miso progresse très bien.
Ils forment un beau couple et ils sont attachants.
C’est comme si ils étaient destinés à être ensemble.

4,5/5 ⭐

Sigue la misma línea que al comienzo, siendo divertido, atrapante e interesante. Es cierto que me ha sacado menos sonrisas que los tres primeros tomos, pero si me ha gustado mucho más la dinámica entre ambos protagonistas, además de esa trama del pasado que te mantiene enganchado y quieres saber más.

Y aun a riesgo de repetirme demasiado, volveré a decir que, a pesar de haber visto ya el kdrama, el manhwa me está encantando y lo estoy disfrutando tanto como cuando vi la serie por primera vez. No me afecta en nada conocer ya la historia y toda la trama, sigo disfrutándola muchísimo igualmente.

In Summary
Even though YoungJun’s hot brother has his sights on Miso, things haven’t headed into love triangle territory. Rather, Miso grows closer to YoungJun – to the point where things start getting steamy between the two. Then everything slams to a halt when the truth behind the kidnapping is revealed. Pretty much all the mysteries get resolved, but our characters’ responses to these revelations remain to be shown.

The Review
Miso has reunited with the boy from her past. Or has she? She and SungYeon meet up to piece the details of the kidnapping incident. However, the more they talk, the more SungYeon’s account doesn’t add up. He’s also strangely fixated on making Miso his, though she’s not the least interested. On the contrary, her relationship with YoungJun only progresses further and faster.

Despite the darker issues surrounding the kidnapping incident, this is a romcom, and those passionate moments get tripped up by bouts of sleepiness and misplaced tablets. Even so, their romance gets to a point that those around them take notice. It’s impossible for Mr. Park to know the exact details of what’s happening between the couple, but his “underwear” heart-to-heart with YoungJun is well-timed advice, plus it’s hilarious.

Then the truth spews out in the second half of the volume. Mrs. Lee finally tells SungYeon what actually happened in the past. Shortly afterward, a triggering incident unlocks Miso’s memories. We see the kidnapping as it unfolds from Miso’s then YoungJun’s perspectives. These chapters clarify it all – everyone’s various phobias, the conflict between the Lee brothers, the gaps in SungYeon’s recollections, YoungJun’s scars.

But while the kidnapping and its aftermath do provide a rationale for the current state of events, certain elements may have you raising your eyebrows. When I watched the What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim? TV adaption, I found the explanation of SungYeon’s guilty conscience rewriting events difficult to swallow; having read the manhwa, I still feel the same about that aspect of the story. The manhwa does do a better job of portraying the family instability that leads to YoungJun “losing” his own memories and the decades-long farce that follows. However, the part where YoungJun gets his original name changed because it sounded too much like his brother’s doesn’t make much sense to me.

Anyway, now that the past has been clarified, we can look forward to seeing how it affects everyone’s present!

Extras include illustration gallery, next volume preview, artist’s note, and translation notes.

Volume moooolto interessante. Se non altro viene chiarito una volta per tutto quanto accaduto in passato: ovviamente il fratello con cui Miso ha condiviso quelle ore di prigionia non è Sungyeon, ma Youngjun. O per meglio dire Sunghyun (la sua memoria di bambina aveva confuso il nome). Si tratterà di un'esperienza molto traumatica, il primo incontro ravvicinato con la morte, anche se il ragazzino farà di tutto per proteggere l'innocenza della piccola Miso (da qui userà la bugia del ragno, una paura che la donna si porterà dietro per tutta la vita, piuttosto che farle vedere il cadavere della donna che li aveva rapiti). Un'esperienza traumatica che purtroppo finirà per portarsi dietro altre conseguenze altrettanto gravi per la famiglia Lee. Probabilmente consumato dal senso di colpa, sia per aver abbandonato il fratello minore che per aver mentito sul luogo del misfatto, Sungyeon inizia a comportarsi come se fosse stata lui la vittima del rapimento. Anzi, è assolutamente convinto, tanto da avere degli atteggiamenti molto violenti nei confronti del fratello minore. I genitori non sanno che fare e, per proteggere un minimo l'armonia della famiglia, Sunghyun farà finta di aver dimenticato tutto; per non turbare oltre il fratello, accetterà anche in cambiare il suo nome in Youngjun. Il problema è che lui ricorda tutto fin nei minimi dettagli, dopotutto ne porta ancora i segni sul corpo. Ricorda ogni momento della prigionia, del suicidio della sua rapitrice, e non si è mai dimenticato di Miso. Infatti, quando se la ritroverà davanti, la vorrà al suo fianco come segretaria (visto il cambio di nome, la poverina non lo riconoscerà per anni).
Insomma, con questo quarto volume, la telazione tra i due protagonisti mette il turbo (ammetto di essere rimasta sorpresa, ma sono passati un po' di mesi dalla lettura del volume precedente, quindi forse mi sono persa qualcosa ma facciamo finta di niente). Youngjun si è stufato di aspettare e non ha alcuna intenzione di lasciarla andare via, soprattutto ora che anche lei ha recuperato tutti i ricordi del passato. Ormai tutte le carte sono sul tavolo, resta da vedere come procederanno le cose tra Youngjun e Miso, e anche tra i due fratelli. Comunque devo dire che questa serie è migliorata volume dopo volume: certo, certe cose mi sono sembrate affrettate, però la storia è davvero piacevole e anche lo stile di disegno mi piace molto. Anche Youngjun si è rivelato un personaggio più interessante del previsto e non il classico stereotipo senza alcuna profondità.
Visto che ho tra le mani anche il volume cinque, penso che sarà la mia prossima lettura, in attesa poi dell'uscita dell'ultimo numero.
