On the 14th, in the final episode of SBS 'My Perfect Secretary' (directed by Ji-eun, Ham Joon-ho, and Kim Jae-hong), where the last story of a close-up care romance is drawn, Ji-yoon (Han Ji-min) handed over 'People' to 'Careaway' Hye-jin (Park Bo-kyung).
The decision was made to protect the employees who had grown the company together. However, the good days of Hye-jin, who finally pulled Ji-yoon out and got his hands on 'People', did not last long. It was the resignation letter of the employees on the desk of the CEO's office that Hye-jin encountered in her first day of work 'People', which was forcibly taken over despite opposition from the executives of 'Careerway'. In addition, the confession of Young-min (Ko Sang-ho), who conspired to commit investment fraud together, revealed Hye-jin's guilt, and eventually ended with the police arrest.
Ji-yoon, who became unemployed, overslept for the first time in years and drank daytime alcohol, and enjoyed the ordinary daily life with Eun-ho (Lee Jun-hyuk), who had been missing out because he had been working hard. Then, without anyone's help, without being swayed by anyone, he went back to work only on his own. The company's first candidate is Eun-ho. There was no such right person as the HR team leader looking for by Serim Group.
Instead of giving up the best secretary, Ji-yoon got reliable employees to grow the company together, Mi-ae (Lee Sang-hee), Young-soo (Huh Dong-won), Kwang-hee (Go Geon-han), Kyung-hwa (Seo Hye-won), and Gyurim (Yugai). The name of the new company 'We Company' now meant 'We'. So Ji-yoon worked hard at 'We Company', Eun-ho worked hard at Serim Group, which became Ji-yoon's client, and loved hard after work.
And another happy ending couple was born. They were Jeong-hoon (Kim Do-hoon) and Su-hyun (Kim Yoon-hye). Jung Hoon realized the sincerity of Woo (Cho Seung-yeon), who regretted his poor fatherhood, and made up with him. Then he went into his father's company and, unlike his older brother, went through it in his own way. Su-hyun has become a best-selling author who has published her next book and even opened a book talk. The two people, who supported and kept each other's sides, became "like" while saying hello on the way, marking the start of pink. Thus, a happy ending came to everyone, and the curtain of close-up care romance came to an end.

Han Ji-min played Kang Ji-yoon, who grows up knowing the warmth, as a headhunting company CEO with a cool headhunting performance. At first, he was a hard-headed workaholic with no interest in anything but work, but he delicately expressed the process of slowly changing and realizing the meaning of care through his relationship with Eun-ho, proving his true value as an actor as well as a 'romance queen'. Lee Joon-hyuk led viewers' enthusiastic response by showing a proper romance performance for the first time through 'My Perfect Secretary'. Rather than expressing emotions directly, the acting of expressing one's heart toward the other with caring actions and deep eyes left a deeper lingering feeling. Above all, the romance performance of the two actors was well received in a calm and warm drama without any stimulating elements, bursting dopamine only with the tension between men and women.
Kim Do-hoon played Woo Jung-hoon, a free tycoon, perfectly expressing a person with a slick yet warm charm. It gave a three-dimensional effect with Kim Do-hoon's unique natural acting and sense, creating a realistic chaebol character. The heartbreaking family history behind the image of Han Liang was a part that evoked sadness. Kim Yun-hye gave a warm and emotional performance as Eun-ho's parenting companion and Jung Soo-hyun, who has a special family history. The play became warmer thanks to her passionate performance, which delicately saved the texture of emotions and expressed the character. The harmonious ensemble of the four actors deeply captured the hearts of viewers, conveying the message of human-to-human care and growth beyond simple romance.

「My Perfect Secretary」, which opened the New Year with its first Friday-Saturday drama in 2025, attracted attention as an expected succession of SBS's box office succession, which succeeded a number of works in 2024 even before the broadcast began. After the meeting of Han Ji-min, Lee Joon-hyuk, and SBS alone lifted the veil, an explosive reaction beyond expectation followed. It easily exceeded double-digit ratings in just three episodes of the broadcast, and continued to maintain double-digit ratings since then, achieving its highest viewership of 12% and instantaneous maximum of 14%, securing the position of an enemy powerhouse until the end.

Announcing the successful start of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama in 2025, SBS, a renowned genre singer, is also good at the romance genre" was a perfect demonstration of the point.
▶ The Birth of a Fairy Tale for Adults
In addition to a perfect romance, 'my perfect secretary' contained a warm message of healing for those who have not yet grown up 'adult'. The stories of adults who look at each other generously, wait for each other, and grow up conveyed more than just romance. Ji-yoon, whose money was the only criterion for hiring and recommending talent, met Eun-ho, a sample of warmth and friendliness, and became a person who encouraged employees, reached out first, and knew how to provide warmth. Jiyoon's daily life was no longer as lonely and cold as before. This was an opportunity to remind us of the value of warm care we had forgotten in an increasingly personalized relationship in modern society. To the extent that the modifier 'Fairytale for Adults' was given, 'My Perfect Secretary' resonated deeply with many, and was crowned a perfect drama that comforted someone in need of care.
The viewership for the final episode of 'My Perfect Secretary' remained at the top of the mini-series dramas at the same time and on Friday, reaching up to 12.7% at the moment, 12% nationwide, 11.3% in the Seoul metropolitan area, and 4.2% in the 2049 target. The national audience rating was the best in its own record. (Courtesy of Nielsen Korea)
