Lee Young-joon (Park Seo-joon) is the vice-chairman of a major corporation. His world is shaken when, one day, his highly capable secretary, Kim Mi-so (Park Min-young), announces that she is resigning from her position after nine years. Young-joon decides to do whatever he can to persuade Mi-so to change her mind.
Much of the visual styling of the series protagonists have referenced the comic version's cues, including clothing designs and reenacting the comic cover for the drama's promotional stills and images.[22]
The first script reading was held on April 10, 2018, at Studio Dragon in Sangam-dong, Seoul, South Korea.[23]
Maserati Korea provided the cars of Lee Young-joon, Lee Sung-yeon and Yumyong Group. The cars featured in the show include a Maserati Ghibli (driven by Yoo-sik),[24] a Maserati Levante (driven by Sung-yeon),[25] a Maserati GranCabrio (driven by Young-joon), and a Maserati Quattroporte (driven by Young-joon).[26][27]
The press conference for the drama was held on May 30, 2018, at the Times Square in Seoul with the attendance of the main cast and crew.[28][29][30]
