The first meeting of Han Ji-min and Lee Joon-hyuk in SBS‘s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘My Perfect Secretary’ has been revealed.
SBS’s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘My Perfect Secretary’ (directed by Ham Joon-ho and Kim Jae-hong, written by Ji-eun) is an intimate care romance between Ji-yoon (played by Han Ji-min), a headhunting company CEO who is only good at her work, and Eun-ho (played by Lee Joon-hyuk), a secretary who is perfect at her work.
With only one day left until the first broadcast, anticipation for the intimate care romance is reaching its peak, and a still cut of Ji-yoon and Eun-ho‘s uncomfortable first meeting has been revealed, raising curiosity about the background.
The revealed still cut shows Ji-yoon and Eun-ho looking into each other’s eyes. However, unlike the past images and videos that were overflowing with a romantic mood, a cold wind somehow blows between the two. Ji-yoon‘s gaze as she accepts Eun-ho’s business card and looks at him is sharp, and Eun-ho does not back down and stares at Ji-yoon intently.
A hint at the cold air flowing between the two can be found in the 4th teaser video released on the 27th. Eun-ho, the youngest HR manager at Hansoo Electronics, is struggling to prevent the departure of a key talent. Then, Ji-yoon, the CEO of the headhunting company ‘People’, makes contact with this key talent, and the two meet for the first time.
Ji-yoon, who must transfer no matter what, and Eun-ho, who must prevent transfers, cannot possibly be happy with this meeting. In the end, they ask each other, “Is this how headhunters usually work? “Just transfer them to any place and make money, that‘s it?”, “Let’s never meet again.” These two people snap at each other.
The reason why these two people who had the worst first impressions of each other ended up writing a sweet romance instead of a ‘disgusting relationship’ is the biggest point of curiosity for potential viewers.
The production team said, “There are many points that viewers will like in Ji-yoon and Eun-ho‘s story,” and added, “Please look forward to the first episode of ‘My Perfect Secretary’, which is just around the corner, where you will learn how these two people who were crazy about each other from the first meeting started a sweet office romance.”
‘My Perfect Secretary’ will first air on SBS at 10 p.m. on Friday, January 3, 2025. The second episode will air 10 minutes earlier at 9:50 p.m. on Saturday.
