The Secret Life Of My Secretary On Netflix Is Office Romance

Office romances are not uncommon but they are mostly two-day. So, what happens when the secretary tries to play along when her boss mistakes her to be his girlfriend because he is not able to recognise faces? It's a comedy or errors and a heartbreak too.

Do Min-ik (Kim Young-Kwang) has an office rule he strictly follows—he will change his secretary after every year. So he does the same with his geek secretary Jung Gal-hee who has dedicated her life to making her boss happy hoping to get an extension of her work term. She goes all out to bring him food, feed his fish on time, never mind even if she starves. She also remembers her boss's mom's birthday and chooses gifts for her to ensure her boss is focused on work. However, she receives a shock of her life when she is told that her contract won't be renewed. Jung Gal-lee's life falls apart as she has to support her blind brother and ensure her sister pursues her study at the 'Penn' University. She also gives her boss a piece of her mind before bidding adieu but little does she know that he will call her back after a minor mishap turns him blind— as in, he cannot recognise faces and his secretary is the only person he can rely on as there are too many backstabbers in the organisation most of whom are his own family members. Eventually he also falls in love with the woman he thinks is his soul mate not knowing it is his own secretary. But what happens when he discovers she fooled him? Will he forgive her?
