'What's wrong with Secretary Kim' is one such drama where one minute you will be laughing your asses off while the very next minute you could be crying over the trauma suffered by the main leads. This drama narrates the story of our hot vice chairman Lee Young Joon of a a major corporation known as Yoomyung group and his sizzling hot beautiful lady aka his secretary Kim Mi-So. Lee Young Joon and Kim Mi-So share a troubled childhood but got separated as they grew up. Although the story starts when the Legendary vice-chairman's most dedicated secretary decides to leave her 9 year old job only to find out her real interest and her childhood oppa with whom she had experienced a bad chapter of life, unaware of the fact that Lee Young Joon is the one whom she is desperately trying to find.

The very first thing that you will notice in the series is the dedication for their work. Kim Mi-So who has been an average student all her life and also starts searching for a job early in life to support her sisters and father financially, tries her best at everything she can. And when she started working for the Yoomyung group she was a novice to the corporate world and hardly had any idea about how it works. But with the help from Lee Young Joon she learns the tactics of the corporate world and now she is a pro at it. Throughout the series you will find instances where you will see that a young Kim Mi-So trying hard to cope up with the perfect Lee Young Joon but she never gives up, instead she learns various languages like English, Chinese, Spanish and so on. She even works over time to learn how to manage everything and become a good secretary even after numerous attempts of ending up in failure. 

Even though the dedication for your work is important, the most amazing thing that we learn in this series is to let go of the past because being caught up in your past will only hurt you and would not let you move forward in life. Lee Young Joon and Kim Mi-So were kidnapped by goons when they were young and had also witnessed a tragic death of the lady who had first approached them. And they have been traumatized since then. But with time Mi-So learns to forget her past even though she is trying to find the oppa who had saved her life when kidnapped. But with Lee Young Joon it is not the same, he is unable to let go of the past, and he ends up having nightmares daily, and it is only when he gets to know about the fact that Mi-So is the same girl from his childhood who was kidnapped along with him and they start dating and sharing things with each other and come out clean, he can breathe in relief and has no more nightmares. But what is more concerning is that it is always okay to take psychological help if needed because it will help you let go of the past. Like in the series even though Kim Mi-So has learnt not dwell on her past, yet she has not overcome the whole traumatic experience and later when she has an encounter with a performer who looked exactly the same like the lady in her past, her nightmare triggers back and she is admitted to the hospital. 

Not only that, Young Joon's elder brother Lee Sung Yeon is also a part of the childhood trauma that Kim Mi-So and Lee Young Joon share, as he was the one who had left his younger brother stranded in the middle of nowhere, where he was approached by a mad lady and later kidnapped. But because the kids were young back then and they had a very troubled experience, the parents take help of the psychiatrist but to mess it up only more for them in the future.

So, it is very very important for you to let go of the past and if needed take psychological help, it won't make you a coward, instead you will come out stronger than ever. But also getting the right treatment from the right doctor also proves as a boon which was not the case for the Lee brothers. And last but not the least along with letting go of the past, getting proper medication, you should have a proper confrontation about it so that you get a proper closer, which does happen at the ending when the Lee brothers, Kim Mi-So and Mr. and Mrs. Lee have a proper conversation and clear all the misunderstandings of the past.
