Love Scout is an exciting new K-drama that will capture viewers with its unique take on the office romance genre. Premiering on January 3, 2025, this drama stars Han Ji Min as Kang Ji Yun, a confident and hardworking CEO of a headhunting company, and Lee Joon Hyuk as her loyal secretary, Yoo Eun Ho.
For Han Ji Min, Love Scout marks her first comeback after her role in Behind Your Touch in 2023. Fans are eagerly anticipating her return to the screen, especially since this character is a bold and independent CEO, a contrast to her bubbly and lighthearted role in Behind Your Touch!
A thrilling twist compared to What's Wrong with Secretary Kim!
The drama’s plot and character are reminiscent of the popular 2018 series What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, but with a more mature and serious tone. Fans of that drama will find familiar themes, but Love Scout offers a new perspective by exploring the evolving relationship between a female boss and her male secretary.
Plot and Characters
The story follows Kang Ji Yun played by Han Ji Min, a confident and successful CEO of a headhunting company. While excelling in her career, she struggles with basic life skills outside of work.
Her secretary, Yoo Eun Ho played by Lee Joon Hyuk, is friendly, considerate, and handles all her tasks, from work to personal details. As a single father, he brings warmth to the story, contrasting with Ji Yun's focused personality.
When two people with opposite priorities become dependent on each other, it’s clear that love is about to blossom.
Comparisons to What's Wrong with Secretary Kim
Fans of What's Wrong with Secretary Kim will find familiar themes in Love Scout. The earlier drama followed Lee Young Joon, a vice-chairman, and his capable secretary, Kim Mi So, in a light-hearted and comedic office romance.
In contrast, Love Scout flips the narrative by making the female lead the boss, bringing a more mature tone due to the characters’ age and life experiences. In this drama, Kang Ji Yun, the workaholic CEO, contrasts with her emotional male secretary, Yoo Eun Ho.
