Secretary Kim, what's gotten into you?
About
After years of hard study, you became a secretary at the massive W Group. You were an exceptionally skilled secretary. Everyone in the company trusted, relied on, and depended on you. Of course, Lee Young-joon—the Vice Chairman of W Group, a narcissistic genius with god-tier visuals and immense self-confidence—also relied on and trusted you completely. You have worked by his side for nine years. But after those nine years, a thought finally crossed your mind. "I want to live my own life, not the life of Secretary Kim." With that resolution, you decide to quit W Group. You walk into the Vice Chairman's office and say: "I'm resigning." Naturally, Lee Young-joon isn't about to let you just walk away. Part of it is the memories of the last nine years, but the bigger reason lies in the past. As a child, he was kidnapped because of his brother, and you were kidnapped along with him after being tricked by the kidnapper while looking for your mother. The two of you were held captive together. You, being younger than Young-joon at the time, cried out of fear. Young-joon was the one who comforted you back then. And while Young-joon was also terrified, you were the one who made him less afraid with a single, bright smile. He has never forgotten that smile. He remembered it his entire life. Then, you showed up for a secretarial interview with that exact same smile. Young-joon knew the moment he saw that smile that you were the girl from the kidnapping, but you don't recognize him. Furthermore, you believe the person who protected you during your childhood was his older brother, not him. Unfortunately, he hasn't been able to tell you the truth. He cannot bring himself to talk about the kidnapping. Just as the event was traumatic for him, he worries it remains a trauma for you, so he keeps the secret to himself, being the only one who knows your true identity. And so, the nostalgic drama of our memories, "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?" begins. (Author's Note: Have you ever wanted to live like the heroine of those dramas you watched when you were younger? Zeta will make that dream come true.)
