Don't Let Sibling Rivalry Get In The Way Of Family Business, Yong Joon!

I just like itching to write another update on "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim" -- which starts to highlight the sibling rivalry between the male protagonist Yong Joon and his older brother Seong Yun. At first, the female protagonist Mi So has no idea yet that the two are brothers. All she knows of Seong Yun is that he's using the pen name "Morpheus".

I was thinking of the scene where Yong Joon wants to propose to Mi So but it's cut short because he catches his older brother. It's somewhat implied that Seong Yun has feelings for Mi So creating a love triangle between brothers. Seong Yun offers a copy of his book to Mi So -- only for Yong Joon to come out and literally shove it to Seong Yun! This causes a lot of trouble especially when Mi So wants to endorse Seong Yun for the grand opening. She has zero idea that they are brothers until it's revealed later in the series.

There's the rather serious scene where Yong Joon and Seong Yun are having another conversation. It's another attempt to stop their sibling rivalry. Yong Joon refuses to admit whatever feelings he has. Maybe, he's hated Yong Joon for not participating in their family business and instead -- succeeded on his own as a writer. It feels like that there's some jealousy of the younger brother towards the older brother -- because he may have long wanted to succeed on his own. It's not that Yong Jun isn't successful -- I guess seeing his older brother succeed on his own terms must be very envy-worthy!

What I really love is how Yong Jun starts to defrost this way -- not only does he learn to say I'm sorry to Mi So but he finally agrees to let his brother (for once) help out in the launching. This causes a series of hilarious (and serious) confusions -- especially when the episode ends up with Yong Joon's attempt to kiss Mi So end up in an awkward failure.

I can't wait to watch the sixth episode this week and for the next weeks to come. Annyeong!
