The Premise

Yoon Yi Jun (Yim Si Wan) is an arrogant chaebol heir and Taegang Group executive who becomes a murder suspect. Kang Jae Hee (Seol In Ah) is a former special forces officer turned detective who goes undercover as his personal secretary to investigate him.

Meet Kang Jae Hee

Jae Hee has a strong sense of justice and a fierce competitive streak. When she finds suspicious circumstances around a murder case tied to Yi Jun, she starts investigating in earnest. But getting close to him proves difficult, so she changes tactics. She finds a personal secretary job posting that hires only men and applies while hiding both her profession and her gender.

The Interview Scene

The preview for the first episode shows Jae Hee called in for her interview. She gives a suspicious look to an applicant leaving the room, then steps inside. Soon after, her detective team receives a text from her reading, “It’s… quite weird in here…” Her teammates are puzzled that even someone as straightforward as Jae Hee is using an ellipsis.

The new stills show her nervous, wearing an interview number tag, while Yi Jun leans toward her with an enigmatic smile. During the interview, he asks questions meant to unsettle her. The big question: can she pass?

Why It’s Worth a Watch?

The mix of romance and thriller works because both leads are hiding something, and the setup forces them into constant close contact. The first episode has already aired, so you can catch up now. For more on the lead actor, see Yim Si-wan on Wikipedia.
