Description
Kim Heewon, an eloquent and quick-witted chief secretary. It’s already been six years since he became the right-hand man of Executive Director Kwon Young-jae, who’s notorious for being extremely difficult to work with. People often ask him how he manages such a grueling job. And every time, Kim Heewon simply answers that turns out, being a secretary was his true calling. “Do you know how old Secretary Kim is?” “……” “You’re telling me a thirty-one-year-old man just presented as an omega? And I’m supposed to believe that?” But then he did present as an omega. Naturally, Kwon Young-jae, who suffers from a serious omega-related neurosis, was furious. “Sir, thank you for everything until now.” “I didn’t know you were this irresponsible.” “You, more than anyone, should know it’s impossible for us to keep working together.” Heewon resigned according to proper procedures and fully embraced the sweet life of unemployment. Meanwhile, Kwon Young-jae’s daily life fell apart without Secretary Kim. Eventually, the proud Executive Director Kwon begins his desperate persuasion. His condition is just one: Come back to work! “What if—just what if—one of us goes into heat?” “You think you and I could actually cause that kind of trouble?” “…We do have a history, you know.” Can Executive Director Kwon and Secretary Kim really keep things strictly professional?

My Thoughts on Born to Be a Secretary
"Born to Be a Secretary" definitely piqued my interest with its blend of office dynamics, romance, and a touch of the unexpected. Diving into this novel, I found myself enjoying the journey, even if there were a few bumps along the way.
First Impressions
The initial setup grabbed me. We have a competent and calm male protagonist who's been working diligently as a secretary. The story starts with a purely professional relationship between him and his cold, handsome CEO boss. I liked the slice-of-life aspect of the early chapters, especially the MC's simple joys, like getting to leave work early or anticipating a vacation. It felt relatable and grounded.
What Works Well
The heart of this story lies in the evolving relationship between the MC and ML. I appreciated how the author explored their feelings and misunderstandings. It's not just a straightforward romance; there's a real sense of two people trying to navigate their changing dynamic, and their open communication was a refreshing change from typical romantic tropes.
I also found the portrayal of discrimination faced by the MC after his "manifestation" compelling. It added a layer of depth and social commentary to the narrative, and seeing how he handled those situations showcased his strength and resilience. The author’s exploration of this aspect of the story really resonated with me.
Areas of Concern
The pacing stumbled a bit for me, and I think it's a common sentiment. At one point, the author throws in an extended separation between the characters. While this was intended to foster character growth, it created some unnecessary tension and felt a bit drawn out.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Born to Be a Secretary" is an enjoyable read, especially if you're a fan of office romances with a twist. The characters are well-developed, the central relationship is engaging, and the story tackles some interesting themes. While the pacing isn't always perfect, and the "character growth" separation felt a bit forced, the strengths of the story outweigh its weaknesses. I'd recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a novel that blends romance, slice of life, and a touch of social commentary.
