Description
People talk about Kwon Ihyeok and Hyeseong. The two must have been married in a past life. For 6 years, until the gangster became a respectable company CEO, Hyeseong was always by Ihyeok’s side. They were perfect partners. Until Hyeseong dropped a bombshell. “I’m going to become a farmer.” Hyeseong abruptly announced his resignation and left Ihyeok’s side. “Hyeseong. I can’t let you go.” But Ihyeok, unwilling to easily let him go, begins actively investigating the reason for Hyeseong’s departure. “Sir, by any chance…are you living next door to me?” “Yes.” There must be some s*umbag who lured Hyeseong to a place like this. Ihyeok is convinced, and even does background checks to uncover Hyeseong’s secret, but he is missing a very important point. “Strange. Why do you smell so sweet?” >> A Taste “How much have you been drinking?” “I don’t know. As much as was given to me?” Ihyeok’s voice seemed normal, but Hyeseong knew. He was drunk now. “I’ll bring you a blanket so sleep here.” As Hyeseong got up to get bedding from his room… “…?!” Suddenly, Ihyeok sat up and grabbed Hyeseong’s arm, pulling him down. Caught off guard, Hyeseong fell onto the sofa. “What are you doing…?” He tried to break free but couldn’t. “Strange. Why do you smell so sweet?” ‘Could it be…my pheromones are starting to flow?’ That was not a good sign at all. “Sir. Step back for a bit.” Then, out of nowhere, Ihyeok pressed his lips to Hyeseong’s neck. A tingling sensation began burning through his body. “Sir, wait…ah…” Ihyeok, who had been brushing his lips against him, slowly started licking and sucking his neck.

My Thoughts on The Country Life Diary of a Gangster’s Secretary
"The Country Life Diary of a Gangster's Secretary" presents an intriguing blend of genres that definitely piqued my interest. The combination of organized crime, omegaverse elements, and a slow-burn romance set against the backdrop of rural life is certainly unique. However, after delving into the story, I found myself with mixed feelings.
First Impressions
The initial chapters are undeniably charming. The premise of a gangster's secretary embracing a simpler life in the countryside is appealing, and the early interactions between the main characters are sweet and filled with a delightful tension. I was immediately drawn into the dynamic between the MC and ML, eager to see their relationship unfold.
What Works Well
The slow-burn romance, while divisive, is undeniably a core element of the story's appeal. The author does a good job of portraying the MC's infatuation and the ML's hidden affection. The characters themselves are also well-developed. I particularly appreciated that the MC is portrayed as intelligent and capable, rather than a stereotypical damsel in distress. The ML, too, avoids the common pitfalls of toxic alpha characters, which is a refreshing change of pace. The slice-of-life aspect is also handled well, providing a comforting and relaxing contrast to the more intense elements of the plot.
Areas of Concern
While the slow-burn romance is initially engaging, it can become frustratingly slow, especially as the story progresses. I found myself wishing for more direct interaction and romantic development between the MC and ML. The focus on side characters and minor plotlines can also detract from the central romance, leading to a sense of dissatisfaction. The pacing can also feel uneven, with long stretches of relatively uneventful content interspersed with brief moments of romantic progress.
Final Verdict
"The Country Life Diary of a Gangster's Secretary" has a lot of potential, and its unique blend of genres is undeniably appealing. However, the slow pacing and emphasis on side plots may leave some readers feeling frustrated, particularly those seeking a satisfying romance. If you enjoy a very slow burn with a heavy focus on slice-of-life elements, this might be the novel for you. Otherwise, proceed with caution.
