Ohlala Couple (2012)

The drama was pretty decent. But as usual with dramas that are given extensions (2eps)- the last few episodes get somewhat wonky. I watched this for Shin Hyunjoon, and I was excited for a romcom. Towards the middle, the laughs get fewer and the feels get bigger, maybe even too big. Having just completed it, I feel a little confused about certain elements. But after a few days it'll be fine I'm sure. So while lots of people are upset right now, with time it'll calm. The leads are great actors, and when they soul-switched -some thought Kim Jungeun was "over the top," but hello they switched souls -it's supposed to be over the top and funny. There was laughs, crys, feels, anger, shock, hope, and cameos galore. It was also nice to not hate the second leads. The downside, elements seemed to be contrived for the extension (but its dramaland- everything's contrived anyway), and so the last episodes seemed hasty or rushed. By ep14 I thought I finally knew where the drama was going, I was wrong. And while being surprised is generally a good thing, this drama would've been better sticking to the plan.
Overall, the drama had 2 great leads, some big laughs, and some big feels. The storyline goes a little awry towards the ending.

I wonder how many reviewers want to change their scores now that the pathetic ending has been shown? The writing was on the wall for me when they extended the drama. I realize that the writer knew that they made Goo Soo Nam so hated that there were going to be very few viewers on his side and also they made Hyun Woo oppa so perfect that no one would understand the logic of Yeo Ok's decision. Well, guess what? I don't understand it! I could forgive (not forget) the affair, but his overall attitude and feelings before his supposed change? No way. The acting was good, story was crap! Watch at your own peril as I could never consciously recommend this to ANYONE! TEAM OPPA 4EVA!!
