I love the official soundtrack to Her Private Life, there are songs that once I hear them I'm transported right back into scenes of the series, especially a track called Maybe.

Sung Deok Mi is a talented chief curator of Cheum Museum of Art, who also happens to have a secret: she is a fanatic fangirl of White Ocean's Cha Shi An. In addition, she is also the fansite manager of the famous "Shi An Is My Life". Ryan Gold is a standoffish artist who develops Stendhal syndrome, eventually retiring as an artist. After the current boss, Uhm So Hye, gets investigated for embezzlement, Ryan Gold becomes the new art director of Cheum Museum of Art.
After rumours break out claiming that Deok Mi and Shi An are dating, Ryan suggests that he and Deok Mi pretend to date to ward off Shi An's fans who threaten to harm her. However, Sindy, another fansite manager of Cha Shi An, manages to land a job as an intern in the museum to prove that Ryan and Deok Mi are a fake couple, leaving both no choice but to continue the act even at work. As the lies get more and more complicated, the situation becomes messier and messier.
Will Deok Mi be able to hide her secret? Will Ryan and Deok Mi fool Sindy? Or will both of them get caught.

I was in love with this drama from start to finish, I'd seen some snippets of the episodes that Viki had posted on their SNS, which made me want to check it out, the other reason I wanted to check it out was because of Park Min Young, I'm familiar with her because of the variety show BUSTED, which had me become a fan of her from the first episode. I was really happy to see Ahn Bo Hyun as I really enjoyed his acting in the web drama/film Dokgo Rewind. For everyone else this was my first time seeing their acting in action.
I thought Kim Bora was amazing as Sindy, I definitely wasn't a fan of her when she was first introduced but as you get to know her you start to warm to her character and hope that Deok Mi and Sindy eventually bond, I thought Jung Jae Won was also amazing as Cha Shi An, he gave off an innocent feeling to his character, but as you got to know him, you felt more at ease and you could see a comfortable connection between Deok Mi and Shi An, my personal opinion on the drama is that I couldn't help but feel that towards the end he knew Deok Mi ran his favourite fansite.
I really liked Kim Jae Wook as Ryan Gold, I think Kim Jae Wook gives off a vibe that he's really serious and judges the situation before opening up to others, which I think is perfect when it comes to Ryan Gold. Ryan Gold has a hard exterior but throughout the drama we get to see him soften up and face his past and try again.
When it comes to duo's I do think that Park Jin Joo and Yoo Yong Min were a great and comedic boss and employee and I loved that Lee Seon Joo got to live her youth and fangirl days again through Joo Hyuk, another comedic duo was Jung Wong Chan and Seo Ye Hwa watching Kim Yoo Seob and Yoo Kyung Ah interact was adorable, I loved that you could tell that Kyung Ah had a soft spot for Yoo Seob and she seemed to be cutely oblivious.
I would have to say that Her Private Life has to be one of my favourite dramas for 2019, I was in love with the series from start to finish, I would highly recommend this drama to anyone and everyone as I think it will have you laughing, crying and enjoying the twists and turns.
One of the main reasons why I really loved this drama is it made me feel that for my age it's perfectly fine and made me comfortable with the fact that I too am a fangirl.
I've come to notice that the final line and scene from a drama really brings home how much I've really loved and enjoyed the series, cast and plot and Her Private Life was no different, I couldn't help smiling and squealing as Min Young aka Deok Mi turned to the camera and spoke to the viewers knowing what they were thinking, saying "Are you fangirling right now? I hope that everyone will become a successful fan".
Have you watched Her Private Life?
