Unspoiled Series Overview
'Love Scout'
A driven CEO of a headhunting agency has guided her small company to success. But her workaholic personality has a price. She is chaotically disorganized, suffers chronic insomnia, and is often difficult to get along with on a personal level. Which is why every secretary she has ever hired has quit. But when her office manager and only real friend hires an efficient, well-tempered single dad as her newest secretary, everyone hopes for the best. And although the CEO bristles in the beginning, he is determined to win her over with his thoughtful skills of office and personal management skills.
'Love Scout' is a Sweet, Slow-Burn Romance About a CEO and Her Secretary
My Thoughts on 'Love Scout'
Learning the Finer Points of Work/Life Balance
‘Love Scout’ is a slow-burn office romance drama. Ths drama does a nice job of flipping the gender stereotypes by showing the struggle between work and raising a child from the side of a single father, while the woman is the workaholic CEO. The mature romance steers away from unnecessary relationship drama and shallow miscommunication to give us a realistic love story with just enough real life bumps to keep the plot going. The drama has a warm, comforting quality that feels like a pleasant cup of tea.
Let me repeat, this is a slow-burn. The pacing feels inconsistent, with some definite drag in parts. The plot is a bit predictable and the villains are one-dimensional and not well developed. For an office romance, the business scenes feel strangely watered down and irrelevant. These things may frustrate certain audiences, but I really did enjoy this drama and it’s efforts to teach work/life balance and healing. I give ‘Love Scout’ an 8 out of 10.
