Have you ever noticed that your secretary is not only handsome, but also perfect at his job? That's right! In this episode Jen talks about the gentle office romance series, Love Scout. We discuss how this is one of Lee Joo Hyuk's rare romance dramas. We also talk about how this drama flips a lot of gender and work stereotypes, as well as how it's a combination of 2 well loved genres: Office romance and slice of life.
