Noh Go-Jin (Kim Jae-Wook) has an IQ of 190, is the top private study professor in Korea, and CEO of GoTop Education despite starting out as a janitor. He's also a narcissistic and demanding asshat. Lee Shin-A (Krystal) is his secretary, and has held the position for a full year, much longer than any previous employee can bear. When Shin-A discovers that she hasn't long to live, she plots her revenge. But a hit-and-run car accident, scheming ex-secretaries, industry competition, and a healthy bout of amnesia get all tangled up while Shin-A decides the best course of action is to pretend to be his fiancée.

Running commentary
Starts with comedically dark secretary revenge fantasies, ends with limitless affection, with corporate spying, powerful ex-girlfriends, Krystal's impeccable fashion sense, and lots of bad debt-induced decisions in between. Even my anti-romantic other half liked this one, but — K-drama novice that she is — refers to it as "the secretary one."
