First Crisis Looms for the Perfect Couple in 'My Perfect Secretary'

In the SBS drama 'My Perfect Secretary' (나의 완벽한 비서), the beloved couple Ji-yoon (한지민) and Eun-ho (이준혁) face their first major challenge. Ahead of the airing of episode 9, the production team hinted at a looming crisis that will be pivotal to the latter part of the romance narrative.

Alongside this announcement, they released related images and a teaser video. In a poignant moment, Eun-ho visits the columbarium where Ji-yoon's late father (조완기) is interred, even missing work to do so. His heavy emotions are palpable as he confesses this to Ji-yoon, who is visibly confused and taken aback.

Ji-yoon's father, who failed to keep his promise of never leaving her alone, is the source of her ongoing nightmares and trauma. During a devastating apartment fire, he entered the flames despite Ji-yoon's desperate pleas to stay, and he never returned. This traumatic event left Ji-yoon to navigate a harsh world without parental support, leading her to view her father as anything but a good dad. She continues to relive that fateful night in her dreams.

Hints have also emerged suggesting that Eun-ho shares a past connected to the fire. The sound of sirens during a company dinner triggered memories of his own childhood experience of being trapped in flames. Despite the years that have passed, Eun-ho has been searching for anyone who remembers that day. His revelation that one of the two people who shaped his current self is Star (기소유) raises questions about the identity of the other person. This shared history of the fire between Ji-yoon and Eun-ho has sparked intense speculation among viewers.

With only four episodes remaining, the production team urges fans to stay tuned to see how Ji-yoon and Eun-ho will confront this first crisis in their budding romance and what impact it will have on their relationship. Episode 9 of 'My Perfect Secretary' airs today (February 1) at 9:50 PM.
