Ryan and Deok-mi have already met twice: once when Deok-mi tried and failed to outbid Ryan for a piece of art, and once when she fell on top of Ryan while trying to get pictures of her “Oppa” at the airport-though in the latter instance, she was in covert fangirl mode.ĭeok-mi’s secret life revolves around idol Cha Shi-an, whom she has been following (and photographing) since his debut. Having turned her lifelong passion for making art into an expertise in curating it, she’s devastated to find out that her awful boss has been using the gallery as a slush fund-which soon leads to the director’s resignation, and the arrival of new gallery director Ryan Gold, a genius artist who has mysteriously given up painting. Sung Deok-mi is a curator at an art gallery by day, and a die-hard idol fangirl by night. The drama also gives us a nuanced look at idol fan culture and what it can mean to the people who engage in it, and delves into themes of personal and professional disappointment and hardship-surprisingly thoughtful for a show this pretty. The leads are wonderful, fully realized and entertainingly quirky, and their chemistry is stratospheric. When I first heard the premise for this show, I was wary of how a story about a fangirl falling in love with her boss might go wrong, but Her Private Life is a delightful, smartly written, and unfailingly squee-worthy rom-com. 145 OctoHer Private Life: Episodes 2-8 (Series review) by Anisa
