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.

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.

Lee Jun Hyuk first debuted in a music video before landing his first drama role as the lead in the 2007 romantic drama ‘First Wives Club’.  Other popular dramas he has starred in include the legal mystery series ‘Stanger’, where his role was so well-received that he had his own spin-off called ‘Dong Jae,the Good or the Bad’, and the 2020 fantasy thriller ‘365: Repeat the Year’.  Look for him to star in the upcoming crime thriller ‘The Art of Sarah’.
