‘My Perfect Secretary’ Han Ji-min realized her feelings for Lee Joon-hyuk. The ending full of Han Ji-min‘s loving eyes that everyone has been waiting for completed a heart-pounding Saturday night.

In episode 6 of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama ‘My Perfect Secretary’ (directed by Ham Joon-ho and Kim Jae-hong, written by Ji-eun, produced by Studio S and Io Contents Group) that aired on the 18th, Ji-yoon’s (Han Ji-min) feelings for Eun-ho (Lee Joon-hyuk) grew stronger and stronger, and Ji-yoon eventually realized her feelings, raising expectations for the future story.

As a result, the drama recorded 11.4% in viewership ratings nationwide, 11.2% in the metropolitan area, and a peak of 13%, firmly maintaining its position as the number 1 Saturday mini-series. The 2049 target viewership rating, which can be used to gauge the box office index, also rose again to 4.4%, setting its own record and taking first place among all weekly programs.

On this day, the heart-pounding three-way confrontation between Ji-yoon, Eun-ho, and Byul (Ki So-yu), who was hoping for her father‘s ‘Friday night’, ended with Ji-yoon’s quick response of turning her head away before Byul noticed.

Ji-yoon, who ran away from Eun-ho‘s house as if being chased, grumbled to Eun-ho in the elevator on her way to work on Monday, “Why did you kick me out?” While saying that, she happily stared at the ‘Well done’ stamp on the back of her hand that Eun-ho had given her for a long time, and on nights when she couldn’t sleep, she had an exciting phone call with him, using the excuse of asking him for information about the sofa she had ‘Deep Sleep’.

Ji-yoon, who was not interested in anyone other than the candidates, began to become curious about Eun-ho. So she asked CFO Mi-ae (Lee Sang-hee), whose husband Kang-seok (Lee Jae-woo) was her senior in college and who knew Eun-ho‘s situation well, and found out how much she had struggled to raise her daughter on her own after the divorce. Eun-ho, who took parental leave only for Byeol-i, prepared to be tagged by Manager Song (Song Young-gyu) at his previous workplace, was a “good father” to Ji-yoon. Her father (Jo Wan-ki), who promised to stay by her side and protect her for a long time, promised to come back but never returned from the fire.

Ji-yoon, who had lived with her father without her mother and had sent her away, could understand both Byul-i and Eun-ho’s feelings. On this day, Ji-yoon encountered Byul-i, who was looking after a kitten that had lost its parents, in front of Kang-seok‘s bookstore. Byul-i, who had been teased as a “half-family” at kindergarten, was very upset even though she didn’t show it on the outside. Ji-yoon noticed her feelings and said, “Love is about quality rather than quantity. It‘s not like you get twice as much love just because you have two people. One person who loves you completely is enough,” and comforted Byul-i’s wounds with sincerity from experience.

At that time, Byul-i was chasing a running cat and fell over after hitting a bicycle. Eun-ho, who rushed to the emergency room, also heard about what had happened at kindergarten. Eun-ho, who had been working hard not to feel her mother‘s absence, felt upset at times like this, as if she had hit a wall. Ji-yoon comforted Eun-ho’s wounds by saying, “I‘m doing well now. At least, Director Yoo is always there when Byeol-i looks for her. Byeol-i knows that her dad is trying.” And Ji-yoon, who didn’t take care of people, bought porridge for Eun-ho, who couldn‘t eat. In this way, Ji-yoon’s feelings for Eun-ho were growing.

The one who noticed the change in the two people who had become closer was CTO Jung-hoon (Kim Do-hoon), who was keeping Ji-yoon in sight. So he asked, “What kind of person is Yoo Eun-ho to Kang Ji-yoon?”, but Ji-yoon only replied, “My secretary.” However, he soon realized that she wasn‘t just any secretary. The trigger was a concert ticket that candidate Young-sook (Kim Jung-young) had given her. Ji-yoon and Eun-ho recommended Young-sook, a luxury goods repair craftsman with 37 years of experience, as the appraiser sought by the luxury goods platform, “Deluxe Line.” Wanting to preserve people’s memories, she studied and developed materials every day, and she was a skilled person who knew what brand a product was just by touching it with her fingertips.

However, Hye-jin (Park Bo-kyung), who was obsessed with bringing down ‘People‘s’, joined hands with Jeong-nam (Jo Han-joon), who was resentful of being fired by Ji-yoon, and began to criticize the ‘Deluxe Line’ products as fake. When competitors and famous influencers agreed that they were fake, only Yeong-sook judged them to be genuine. Ji-yoon and Eun-ho were the ones who trusted Yeong-sook when she was cornered, and true to that trust, the headquarters’ appraisal results determined that they were genuine. This misunderstanding arose because the production line was changed unexpectedly every few years to prevent counterfeit products. In this way, Yeong-sook successfully made a new start as a luxury goods appraiser for the ‘Deluxe Line’. Yeong-sook expressed her gratitude with a concert ticket.

On the day of the concert, Ji-yoon dressed up nicely and was excited to meet Eun-ho. She was disappointed that Eun-ho was busy because of a sudden business trip, but she waited anxiously for his text saying that he would come on time. And finally, Ji-yoon‘s eyes caught Eun-ho heading to the concert hall. Even in the crowd, she could only see Eun-ho. Ji-yoon stared blankly at Eun-ho, who finally stood in front of her, for a while. She didn’t say anything, but her eyes spoke of ‘love’.

SBS‘s ’My Perfect Secretary‘ airs every Friday night at 10 PM and Saturday night at 9:50 PM.
