This New K-Drama Pushes the Boundaries of the Typical Office Rom-Com

Love Scout is another k-drama in which a cold boss falls in love with a sweet, hardworking subordinate. Only in this case, the boss is a woman and the subordinate is a man.

However, this is not a typical office romance, but a useful and therapeutic story for those who are worried about their careers.

What Is Love Scout About?

Kang Ji-yoon is the owner of a recruitment agency. She has no friends, no relationships, and no hobbies. She performs her duties responsibly and demands the same from her subordinates.

Only the best should work for her, and finding a new secretary is not an easy task. In his absence, Ji-yoon has taken over all the work and has already suffered serious health consequences.

Yoo Eun-ho works in the HR department of a big company. He does his job perfectly, but his boss dislikes him. This is because Eun-ho went on maternity leave at the peak of his career and the boss lost a profitable project.

As a result, Eun-ho is fired for industrial espionage – with such a mark on his resume, he is not destined to find a good job. Fortunately, fate throws him an acquaintance with a woman who works for Ji-yoon.

She realizes that Eun-ho is the perfect candidate for the role of the secretary. The only problem is that Ji-yoon and Eun-ho have already met and the meeting left an unpleasant impression on both of them.

Love Scout Is Not Your Typical Office Rom-Com

Love Scout only pretends to be a classic office romance. Drama fans know that the plot of a romantic relationship between a boss and a subordinate is nothing new.

However, in terms of style and storytelling, Love Scout has nothing in common with such brilliant representatives of the genre as What's Wrong with Secretary Kim and Business Proposal. And it's not just that the gender roles have been reversed.

Despite the fact that the romantic storyline is declared to be the main one, the professional activities of the characters come to the fore.

Love Scout allows you to look into the inner workings of a recruitment agency. How do you write a good resume to get hired? What reputational risks should you consider? Why do top professionals burn out?

The drama has a main storyline, but at the same time each episode analyzes a specific work case.

Love Scout Is a Relaxing and Cozy Series

The plot of the drama is free of crazy twists and full of romantic scenes. Watching it is like a cozy evening under a warm blanket, not a roller coaster ride.

We can already say that there will be no broken hearts and that in the end each of the characters will get what they deserve.
