tvN’s newly released What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim (金秘书为何那样?) drama has been making headlines among the viewers lately! Starring a stunning cast, Park Seo Joon (朴叙俊) and Park Min-Young (朴敏英), the two actors simply nailed it again with their incredible synergy and charming acting!
Based on a popular web novel, the drama tells a story of a comical office romance between a narcissistic vice president of a company Lee Young-joon (Park Seo Joon), who does his best not to lose his perfect secretary, Kim Mi-so (Park Min-young) after she makes the decision to quit her job to move on to start a new chapter in life.
Thanks to tvN Asia, GOkpop was given an amazing opportunity to have an exclusive written interview with Park Seo Joon and Park Min-young regarding to their on-going drama What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim! The heartthrob duo shared their feelings about their unique characters and approaching new challenges of different genre!
Q: This drama theme is romantic-comedy. Park Seo Joon (PSJ) and Park Min-young (PMY), how does it stand out from similar drama?
PSJ: The genre is similar but the messages and characters of each series are very different. There is this cheerful energy which 'What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim' only can give,
PMY: I don’t know if it’s because the drama I’m in, but all the characters in this drama are especially lovely and funny. Do I sound silly? *laughs*
Q: What comes into your mind when you first read about the characters Lee Young-joon and Kim Mi-so?
PSJ: Lee Young-joon is the vice president of Yoomyung Group, and a narcissist who loves himself so much. He is ‘the perfect human’ who was always at the top for everything since birth.
PMY: I think Kim Mi So, the character I play, is the legend of secretary who has mastered everything as she assisted the narcissist vice president Lee Young-joon for 9 years. When I first read about this character, I thought she is a very lovely character.
Q: Park Seo Joon (PSJ), you mentioned that Lee Young-joon is your complete opposite, what is the complete opposite character compared with your actual personality?
PSJ: Since Lee Young-joon is set to be a perfect man, there are more differences than similarities. For example, while Lee Young-joon loves himself so much, I am strict to myself and usually judge myself objectively.
Q: Park Min-young (PMY), since this is your first romantic comedy drama, how do your approach to this new role which you are unfamiliar with? What is the biggest challenge?
PMY: Whenever I watched movies or dramas, I kept my eyes on the beautiful clothes the actresses are wearing and kept thinking about the styles like “Those clothes are pretty. What kind of clothes should Kim Mi-so wear?” I am not a good rider of roller coaster, or other rides at the amusement park. This time, I had to challenge myself in taking the rides to shoot the date scene with Young-joon.
Q: What do you think about the character Kim Mi-so and Lee Young-joon?
PSJ: Kim Mi-so has been working as a secretary of ‘the perfect man’ Lee Young-joon for 9 years. I think the character has enough abilities to be called as ‘the legend of secretary’.
Q: Tell us about the character of 'Lee Young-joon' from the drama.
