SBS ‘My Perfect Secretary’ Han Ji-min and Lee Joon-hyuk have finally accepted their feelings for each other.

Episode 7 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 24th depicted the ‘after’ story of Ji-yoon (Han Ji-min) realizing her feelings for Eun-ho (Lee Joon-hyuk). And the kiss ending, which came about when the two people were unable to get closer and were keeping their distance, filled Friday night with great excitement. The viewership ratings on that day recorded 11% nationwide, 10.5% in the metropolitan area, and a peak of 12.1%, firmly maintaining the top spot among same-time and weekly mini-series. The 2049 target viewership rating, a key indicator that can be used to gauge channel competitiveness and topicality, also recorded 3.7%. (provided by Nielsen Korea)

Ji-yoon realized her feelings and became more conscious of Eun-ho. When Eun-ho‘s arm brushed against hers as they sat next to each other in the concert hall, she couldn’t concentrate on the performance. Even though she tried to calm herself down by saying, “Pull yourself together,” she had no choice but to admit, “I‘m screwed” when she saw herself suggesting a moonlit walk. Ji-yoon’s “looking for Eun-ho” continued even at the office. She would get annoyed when things weren‘t done properly at work, but she would smile faintly when she saw Eun-ho. For the first time, she even mentioned Eun-ho’s favorite food for lunch. However, when the employees swarmed along to the lunch appointment that she thought would be just the two of them, Ji-yoon couldn‘t hide her disappointment, and Eun-ho was flustered. The beginning of adult love is also awkward like this, but it’s cute and exciting all the same.



That‘s why there were side effects. Ji-yoon couldn’t focus on her work, so she repeated what Mi-ae (Lee Sang-hee) had said. Even during a meeting with a candidate, whenever Eun-ho showed up, her attention would turn to that place. Ji-yoon decided that this couldn‘t go on and asked Mi-ae to change her secretary. When Eun-ho asked her why, her heart sank, and she confessed directly, “I like you,” which made his heart sink again.

After that, Ji-yoon, who had said, “I’ll take care of my own feelings,” distanced herself from Eun-ho. When they ran into each other in the elevator on the way to work, she pretended to answer calls that didn‘t come and avoided him. She often skipped lunch and went on business trips alone. Ji-yoon acted coldly as if she had gone back to the beginning, but she couldn’t hide her feelings that were coming out unconsciously. Eun-ho, who stayed up all night preparing materials, saw her sleeping in the driver‘s seat, so she blocked the sunlight pouring down on him, and Ji-yoon often looked at Eun-ho without realizing it.

Eun-ho also spent a long night with internal conflict. Then, she confessed her true feelings to her college senior Kang-seok (Lee Jae-woo), saying, “I have someone I care about.” She also confessed that she was confused about whether she should feel this way when she had to take care of her daughter Byul (Ki So-yu). Kang-seok, who had watched Eun-ho struggle and make efforts over the years, gave her sincere advice, saying, “It’s okay to be honest about your feelings once in a while.”

They weren‘t the only ones suffering inwardly. Jung-hoon (Kim Do-hoon), who was the first to notice Ji-yoon’s gaze toward Eun-ho, was rejected before he could even confess. He joked in front of Ji-yoon, saying that he would go on a blind date right away, but he couldn‘t help feeling bitter. The one who recognized Jeong-hoon was Soo-hyun (Kim Yoon-hye), who was in the same situation. The two met as the younger brother of the director of the kindergarten that Seo-joon (Kim Tae-bin) attends and their parents, and formed a group of unrequited love comrades while having a drink. And Soo-hyun, who borrowed the encouragement of Jeong-hoon and even the energy of alcohol, gathered the courage to ask Eun-ho to go see a movie alone.

Ji-yoon also found out about Soo-hyun’s date(?) request because of Byeol-i whom she met at the bookstore. She tried to pretend not to, but she couldn‘t help but feel bothered, and she blurted out to Eun-ho, “It’s okay, so go. You‘re already busy.” As the time of the appointment approached, Eun-ho, who had difficulty taking steady steps, eventually recalled Kang-seok’s words, “Don‘t worry too much and miss out, but be brave. What the other person wants is not consideration, but your honest feelings.” Then she returned to the office. However, Ji-yoon, who had realized that she couldn’t do it anymore, had already set out to find Eun-ho. Eun-ho, who found the movie ticket window on the monitor in the CEO‘s office, ran straight to Ji-yoon.

This time, Eun-ho found Ji-yoon in the crowd. Ji-yoon, who didn’t know that Eun-ho was only looking at her, called from the other side of the crosswalk and said, “Mr. Yoo Eun-ho, don‘t watch that movie.” Eun-ho said, “I’ll go,” and walked towards her without any more hesitation. Ji-yoon kissed Eun-ho, who hugged her tightly with his wide arms. After that, the OST with the lyrics “I‘ll hold your hand and not let you go” played, renewing another perfect ending.

Episode 8 of SBS’s “My Perfect Secretary” will air today (the 25th) at 9:50 p.m. on Saturday.
