Antes del fin del mundo

DRAMAS in 2026

The obvious female CEO/male secretary premise

The single dad apparently due to divorce (I thought maybe he was widowed, but they say this specifically)

The single dad who takes a parental leave for a whole year to help his daughter's mental health. If this is really a thing, I am amazed, but also, this leads to 4...

The father getting professionally punished for leaving the workforce as we know that women do often, maybe not so directly but I find it interesting to have him get put in that circumstance (this is before he works for her)

Female CEO is cold and perfectionist and supposedly scary, but she seems mostly grumpy and is mostly passive-aggressive toward him, but her reasoning is due to a substantive interaction they had before he works for her and I like that she has good reasons to dislike him and he understands them.

Despite being a perfectionist in her work outcome, she is a total disaster and he is brought in because of his super dad organizational skills and I find that very charming.

She is clumsy and yes I know this is an overdone charming "fault" but this lady literally hits her head on everything, can't work the door and generally is injuring herself constantly and I appreciate the level of commitment to this characterization and also that he literally baby proofs her office to keep her from injuring herself.

Male lead is super endearing as a single dad, clearly over maxed in all his responsibilities and continued in his old job where he was mistreated and now moved into this new job that he isn't particularly enthused about because it is paying him more and he can't not work since he has to feed his kid.

We get the fun classic "get the right kind of coffee by the assistant" scenes where this poor man is running around and figuring shit out and I very much rooted for him and loved the role reversal.

Thank you... for all your hard work, 406.

From now on, you don't have to worry about your father. I'll take care of it.

Teach me.
