As actors Lee Seo-jin and Ha Ji-won reunite for the first time in 23 years as the “Damo couple,” anticipation is building over whether “Secretaries” will sustain its rising ratings.

At the end of the SBS variety show “Will You Do Anything? – Secretaries” (hereinafter “Secretaries”), which aired on the 23rd, it was revealed that actor Ha Ji-won would appear as a “my star,” drawing intense attention.

In particular, Lee Seo-jin and Ha Ji-won are set to reunite on television for the first time in a whopping 23 years since the drama “Damo,” which sparked a craze in 2003, heightening expectations. Ha Ji-won said, “It really feels like a dream. Filming with Seo-jin oppa and doing something together is…,” showing an excited demeanor. Lee Seo-jin also stated, “(Since ‘Damo’) this is the first time we are appearing on TV together. It is the first time since then that we have been in the same camera angle.”

Lee Seo-jin and Ha Ji-won, who reunited after a full 23 years, embraced each other to express their joy at seeing one another again. Seeing this, Kim Kwang-gyu reacted by asking, “Are you going to film ‘Damo’ again today?” Lee Seo-jin also said, “Ji-won is much prettier these days, isn’t she?” creating a fluttering atmosphere. However, that was only for a moment; Lee Seo-jin immediately added the joke, “You weren’t this pretty back then,” eliciting laughter.

Meanwhile, the broadcast on this day is expected to feature the show’s first overseas business trip. Lee Seo-jin, Kim Kwang-gyu, and Ha Ji-won are heading to Singapore to watch a top-tier Formula 1 racing event. Attention is focused on what special episodes and chemistry the three will showcase during “Secretaries”’ first-ever overseas trip.

In the episode of SBS’s “Secretaries” that aired on the 23rd, Son Seok-koo appeared as a “my star,” and the cast spent a special day together in Busan. The episode recorded a nationwide household viewership rating of 3.4% based on Nielsen Korea data, setting a new all-time high for the show. The metropolitan area household viewership rating was 3.6%, and the peak per-minute viewership rating reached 4.4%, an increase compared to Jeonju. With Ha Ji-won joining after Son Seok-koo’s “my star” episode, interest is growing, and as the ratings continue their upward trend, anticipation for the next broadcast is further heightened.
