I just watched SWP and he was my favorite character. The beard really suits him and made him even more distinguishable ( when he dressed up ) I love that he appreciated her looks and character for what they were. I wanted Si Won with Hye-Jin more than any of the other second leads.

I finished watching SWP a few weeks ago, and my heart totally sank for Shin Hyuk. I love him and I really thought he’s going to end up with Hye Jin, he loves her for who she is anyway. She actually deserves someone who sees her as pretty especially when she does not see herself as one. Shin Hyuk will be the perfect guy for her – her brother, her bestfriend, her lover. I so love Choi Si Won in this drama, but I have yet to watch his other Kdramas since I am currently doing a Park Seo Jun marathon (I so love him in Itaewon Class, btw. Watch it if you haven’t yet, it’s his best performance so far!). I agree with the other comment too, this gives me second lead syndrome (first was Prince Eul of Goong, then Ji Hoo of BOF and now Shin Hyuk, oh my heart) so baaad that I am really really brokenhearted he did not end up with the lead. Will watch more of Si Won’s kdramas and movies soon, hope he stars in a new one soonest too!

i just recently watched this and i really really love it. i laughed, i cried and gives you the sweet feeling of having solid relationships be it family, a girl bestfriend, a guy bestfried, a colleague.. it’s like a bibimbap..it’s just all there…….i am happy that the lead ended up together…. but i don’t know how many times my heart sank for Kim Shin Hyuk… Choi Si-Won breathed life into his character so perfectly…..i hope that there can be a sequel where his character will be on the lead role.

In reply to Jenifer. I absolutely love Siwon as Kim Shin Hyuk, especially his bearded look. I agree with the 5 moments, but there are so much more. One that particularly stands out for me is at the end of their fun day out in Ep 14 when Kim Shin Hyuk thanks Hye-Jin and says goodbye...and the tears as he drives off.

Extremely well written ‘5 times Choi Siwon melts your heart in She was Pretty’, but really I think it’s 6, how could you leave out his visuals in Ep 12!

Jenifer here from India.

This was the first time I watched K drama & was glad to watch this show.

Same like you, I fell for the second lead.
His funny character & good looks stole my heart.

The best I liked was when he says to her – you are giveing me false signals .. awww.

But I never saw his Same look on other shows which I miss coz this beard looks really suits him a lot. Infact , I didn’t liked him in other show coz of his look.

I hope he comes with this beard avatar again.

Just stumbled on this blog having only just watched SWP recently. I am now officially in love with Choi Si Won! HIs character in the show was so endearing and lovable and it was heartbreaking to watch some of the scenes. I literally sobbed at the scene where he says “don’t go” and she just runs away to her first love! 🙁 booooo

Your blog captured everything I’ve been feeling about this character too! Love love love him !!!!

Just watched SWP over the weekend at this late year, 2018 as I wait in anticipation for the last two episode s of What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim? this week. I researched old PSJ K-dramas and ended up rooting for the second male lead Choi Si Won which somehow cushioned my being able to let go of WWWSK effective this week after the series ends.

Choi Si Won was a very endearing second male lead in his characterization of Kim Shin-hyuk. While Jihoo of Boys Over Flowers was my previous epitome of a second male lead, comparing his character with creates an entire redefinition of second male lead—that second male leads can be funny, goofy, scruff faced and can also take our breath away in a most genuine way through their selflessness.

Yes, I completely agree that Kim Shin-hyuk characterized by Choi Si Won has upped the ante for second male leads and will always remain as one of the best two who have given me the worst case of second male lead syndrome : )
