Crisis Strikes in 'My Perfect Secretary' as Han Ji-min Learns Shocking Truth

The adult romance between Han Ji-min (강지윤) and Lee Jun-hyuk (유은호) in the SBS drama 'My Perfect Secretary' (나의 완벽한 비서) faces a significant crisis. In the latest episode aired on February 1, 2025, it is revealed that Han Ji-min's father died while saving Lee Jun-hyuk, leaving her in shock and causing her to withdraw her hand from his.

In episode 9, Lee Jun-hyuk discovers that the person who died saving him in a past fire incident was 강경태, Han Ji-min's father. Earlier, he had intervened to protect Han Ji-min from the humiliation inflicted by Chairman 우철용 (조승연), apologizing for not managing her schedule properly. Han Ji-min was furious at his interference, feeling he was undermining her.

Lee Jun-hyuk expressed his genuine feelings, stating, "I didn’t want to hurt you, and I want to protect you as much as I can. You don’t have to be perfect; I’ll be by your side no matter what." This heartfelt confession deepened Han Ji-min's feelings for him, leading to a passionate kiss between the two.

As their relationship blossomed, Chairman 우철용 devised another scheme to manipulate Han Ji-min. He orchestrated a situation where both Han Ji-min and 김혜진 (박보경) were recommended for the same position at Next, forcing them into competition, which was part of his plan.

Lee Jun-hyuk's feelings for Han Ji-min grew stronger, making him more open about his emotions. He felt jealous when the CEO of an interior design company, 민정혁 (곽시양), flirted with her. When Han Ji-min visited 민정혁's office without him, he expressed his feelings to 이강석 (이재우) and openly admitted to 우정훈 (김도훈) that he liked Han Ji-min a lot.

Meanwhile, Han Ji-min grew closer to Lee Jun-hyuk's daughter, 유별 (기소유), enjoying ice cream dates and sharing stories about Lee Jun-hyuk, which made him proud.

However, the revelation of the past created turmoil in their relationship. After learning that Han Ji-min's father was the one who saved him, Lee Jun-hyuk visited 강경태's tomb, expressing his gratitude and stating, "Now I want to protect you, Ji-yoon." He then revealed to Han Ji-min that he was the child her father saved, leaving her shocked and causing her to pull away from him.

The preview for the next episode hints at a significant shift in their relationship, with Han Ji-min tearfully questioning how she can face Lee Jun-hyuk again. She visits her father's tomb, thanking him for raising such a good person. The future of their relationship, now burdened by the weight of the past, remains uncertain.
