Another Miss Oh (2016)

A Jewel

Un drama eccellente. Romantico senza essere stucchevole, personaggi e situazioni plausibili e coinvolgenti. 18 puntate mai un momento di noia. Un mix perfetto di allegria, dolore, amore, affetti. La coralità della storia dá materia per raccontare vite diverse: quelle complicate dei 'figli' e quelle dure ma piene di affetti dei 'genitori'. Attori in stato di grazia, tutti (il fantastico padre di lei!!). La protagonista su tutti con le sue insicurezze radicate nell'infanzia e la sua determinazione a superarle. Lui totalmente perturbante nelle sue difficoltà psicologiche e nella intensità dei suoi baci. Virile senza bisogno di mostrare fisico da palestra. Pochi attori ho visto così espressivi nel dolore e nei gesti/sguardi dell'amore che sono sempre il punto di forza delle più riuscite serie romantiche coreane. È infine proprio vero che la stagione 2014-2018 (circa) ha prodotto serie di drama dalla magia inarrivabile sia come intrecci sia come recitazione. Ho cominciato ha vederne da poco ma niente di paragonabile con le più reclamizzate serie del presente, sempre più ripetitive, centrate sul belloccio di turno e su una recitazione precisa ma di maniera.
Colonna sonora poco varia, ma orecchiabile e accogliente. Accompagna molti momenti della serie e ci si affeziona. Nonostante le 18 puntate potrebbe essere un drama da rivedere.

Good drama to get out of a kdrama slump

Solid 8.5/10 for me, I watched this and honestly the storyline and actors had me hooked. It takes a while to build up but if you stick with it I promise it gets better. For me this was a very intricately written slice of life drama with romance and some supernatural elements.

I like the fact that this drama sheds a light on more niche professions such as audio / sound engineering and we get to delve into what that really entails in Do Kyung's daily life. I enjoyed learning about the main character's backstories and how they became the way they were. I know a lot of people say the FL, Oh Hae Young is very annoying and behaves like a child but I really loved her character. She was so hilarious and endearing in my opinion. I feel like anyone living her life would lash out and react the way she did. I really resonated with Oh Hae Young's character as she's very strong willed and emotional but unlike others she isn't afraid to hide her emotions. She feels deeply and wears her heart on her sleeve. That for me made her character seem more real / genuine and relatable. You could also tell that the actress Hyun-Jin put her everything into that role – her performance was phenomenal and she truly deserved all the awards she won.

I also loved that this drama highlighted real struggles in peoples day to day lives. I felt connected to each character and came to a better understanding of them as the story unfolded. The chemistry between the leads was amazing I love how they were lowkey the strangers to enemies to lovers trope. They served so hard tbh! I adored how their relationship progressed and when it reached its climax it was like all the emotions and tension between them were palpable through the screen. I love how through all their trials and tribulations you could see the situation from their point of view, understand why they each wanted to let the other go and eventually how their undeniable connection brought them back together.

At first I was weary of pretty Oh Hae Young but then we got to see who she really was underneath her happy exterior. On the surface she looks happy and seemingly has a perfect life but the truth is that she was broken and wasn't raised in a family that loved her / showed her how to love. The sheer irony of the fact that both Hae Young's wanted to trade lives or were envious of the other at some point in time was some excellent writing. I feel like the writers thoroughly thought out the plots, story arcs and found a way to mesh all the character's lives together.

This drama taught me not to judge a book by it's cover and to treat others as you would want to be treated because you really don't know whats going on in a persons life or what they have been through. Additionally the drama emphasized the meaning of friendship, forgiveness as well as love and family relationships (the good, the bad and the ugly)

Other highlights for me included Do Kyung's precarious relationship with his mother and his crazy relationship with his siblings. I particularly enjoyed watching the love story of Jin Sang and Soo Kyung unfold. It took a while but they got there and I was so happy for them at the end.

This drama had me grinning from ear to ear half of the time and I definitely appreciated it for everything it was. I would recommend this to people who are in slumps and don’t know what to watch next. This got me out of my own :)

Thanks for reading and happy watching!

❤️
