Oh! Master (2021)

Plot Fails Nana and Minki Pairing

I really wanted to like this series. This is the first time I have seen Nana and Minki, who are both beautiful/handsome and very good actors. BUT-The plot was so repetitive (he rejects her, then turns around so many times), with too many subplots ( too many unnecessary romantic pairings). Some of the things he says were so cruel that it seemed past redemption and sympathy. The fantasy should have been better focused and had have been better developed or just eliminated. Oh well. Wonderful acting by the actresses playing the leads’ mothers, Kim Ho Jung and Lee Hwi Hyang.

i think i just wasted my time. at first i just watch thinking it would be rom-com. well it did, in the first half. but idk no chemistry? feels rushed? strange love triangle? cringe 2nd and 3rd couples? it was super cliche at first. honestly i dont mind cliche, as long as it was executed nicely and beautifully to draw me in. but sadly this drama dont. and the next half? it's like the writer trying to put together whatever sad and heartbreaking scenes there is. i skipped a lot cause it was so hard for me to focus ;')) basically, the script, was terrible. i just cant enjoy it sadly. but their acting was great anyways.

The drama is so badly written it feels like it's written by a middle schooler

The only reason I watched this drama is because of Nana and Lee Min Ki and I am looking forward to their acting and chemistry. When I first read the synopsis, I thought that it is a typical rom-com full of cliché and that should be enough to entertain me. But as I got to the fifth episode, I felt like I was watching a fairy tale written by a middle schooler by how forced the romance is between characters.

Even with all that, I had fun watching because of how beautiful Nana is, and it is also fun watching badly written drama because it funny how unbelievable the things that happen in the drama.

I don't hate typical rom-com full of cliché but at least make the story sensible. Not just trying to A and B together and call it romance.

This drama was good

I have seen many reviews saying this drama was bad, it shocked me to be honest, I thourouly enjoyed this kdrama, yes it did in fact have many plots but it honestly made sense to me.

the mother was dying and wanted to spend time with her son, he did not move in bc his father was a cheater. during the process of all this he rented a room in the house and fell in love.

due to his mom dying, his dead biological father saved the ML so he could spend her last days dying in peace rather than grieving and dying from cancer.

with the vanishing throughout the show, I just interpreted it as his presence does not belong to this world because he was supposed to die.

Also his bio father probably had to use powers to revive him and made sure he had no injuries, he could’ve been weak and not able to keep him on earth too long hence the limit of 49 days.

although these plots were not explored properly and effectively as it should be the drama was truly beautiful and it made me ignorant to the fact that it was lacking in some areas.

Could have been better! Learn what Fantasy means!

First of all, car accident was the most ridiculous ever for a person like ML! He is attentive and careful of his surrounding! How could you kill him like that in fantasy story? Make it a logical death or just let him live cos this is freaking fantasy!
Fantasy stories exist for happiness and wild imagination.
Real life and tragic stories are for sadness, troubles, unexpected difficulty and hard-work.
Writing a story in fantasy theme/setting and writing sad story that isn't even logical is just wrong!
===
ML = Sadist & FL = Masochist (Literally, that's who they are in this drama!)
ML leaving FL for her sake is so cliche, old, boring and mad cos he is going to die anyway, so why not tell her the truth? And, if she left you, accept it; if not, be with her till death. Why not let her decided instead of deciding all by yourself? That would have been better plot. (Now, ML thinking best for FL from his perceptive only! This is just one-sided!)
"You think, doing everything the best for your love is more important than what your love one wants?" There is no honesty and trust! That's just one way communication and that's what most closed minded people do! - I am sorry but that's the fact!
FL is so strong minded and open minded though, as she waited so patiently for ML's reason for doing terrible things to her. (This is never gonna happen in real life. Anyone would quit that kind of sick relationship. There are freaking over 7 billions people. Everyone is special if you can look forward or look to the future instead of sticking with a person who has terrible personality! Don't stuck yourself in the past or in terrible relationship!)
===
Humor, romance, bromance and jealousy are the only things I like from this drama. EP 1-8 after leaving out s***ty car accident and fan's evil plot is great.
The rest is pretty much one-sided overwhelming love from FL. ML only accepted cos she found out the truth and her love for him is overwhelming (Which doesn't exist in real life so why sad story? Want to be realistic but with unrealistic setting and love? Okay!).
I was already able to predict that FL will accidentally see ML vanishing and that's how they are going to reconcile. (This drama could have ended with just 10 or 12 episodes. You could skip all those and ended with mishearing 49 days with 49 years! This point was unexpected though.) Finishing 'script' in 49 days is a overkill!
===
Seriously, you could have save this fantasy drama by removing unnecessary sad plots and giving happy ending. This could have been 9/10 or even 10/10 but now 6/10 cos of illogical accidents and sad plots.
FL & supporting characters' personality are awesome except for ML & 2nd ML. (When will I see a drama where 2nd ML just stop liking FL and get together with his soul mate and become friend with FL & ML again later.)
I am sorry but I can't stop myself from ranting!

Falling in love quickly, but had a bad ending

I enjoyed watching this show because of its great casting and storyline. I started watching it while it was still airing, which made me anticipate new episodes even more. However, I was disappointed with how the plot twists were handled towards the end, especially since there were already some in the beginning. The ending left me feeling unsatisfied and made me lose interest in the actors and their future projects. Despite this, I did enjoy the fact that the characters were living together, which led to some funny moments and clever dialogue from the actors. The second lead was also great, as he was more of a friend to the female lead, which made him less obsessed with her. The show's music didn't have much of an impact on me, but it was still emotional. The male and female leads acted really well and portrayed their emotions convincingly. However, the ending just ruined the entire show for me, and I doubt I'll ever want to rewatch it.

I am starting to turn away from Korean rom-coms

Yes, the plot was not original but I liked how the drama started out. I enjoyed the ML and FL not liking each other at first, then slowly getting to know each other, then starting to like each other. I understand there must be a love triangle but not for almost the entire series! I am very fond of budding romances where the relationship takes a long time to develop and the romantic tension builds. I disliked the open competition between the MLs for the prize of dating the FL. She can’t date both of them, that would be ludicrous (oh wait, she did). One ML was trying to win over the FL with gifts and flowers while the other was acting like a high schooler in love. A short love triangle, I can live with. The MLs fighting, over the FL, episode after episode was very displeasing to me (time to ⏩). I did enjoy the romance between the supporting actors/actresses. I won’t drop the drama but I am hoping a winner will emerge soon (I’m cheering for the screenwriter) so their relationship can move forward (up to Ep 8).
Edit: I'm up to Ep 14 and have to wait for the final two episodes. Okay, the love triangle did not last for more than a few episodes (my error!). I thoroughly enjoyed the romance between the ML & FL though the ML can be difficult and offensive. The events surrounding the MLs impending vanishing was truly heartbreaking (Nana, I'm here to comfort you!). I'm hoping for a happy ending. This drama started out with a cliche hate/love plot, then the love triangle before evolving into a beautiful love story followed by the breakup and the MLs upcoming vanishing/death?
Edit: Done with the last 2 ep! Finally! I won’t give away the ending but I was happy the ML & FL were back together. There was a trick ending concerning the MLs vanishing that caught me by surprise. Oh well, on to the next one!

Great Story line, perfect lead actors , sad ending

Amazing lead actors but the side actors(asst writers and agency mangers) were not impressive and lack acting, worst comeey from them, i quite impressed with actress nana, Her laugh and voice really adorable, really good acting,

initial episodes were okay, middle episodes were felt like boring and the fighting for jioon by han bi soo and yuzin scenes were unnecessary and boring, it is quite predictable Jooin like Bisoo but whey she wants to date both of them, didn't liked this part,i just forwarded it while watching .

But i profoundly enjoyed the last 2 episodes, amazing from all angles , i thought there will be a tragic ending but yeah it is , then they made it somewhat better, by at the end of final episode where they showed what if Han bi soo didn't disappear and how would they lived their life with all the love, those glimpse of moments was really captivating, from that i understood there won't be next season ,as we already have seen how their life going to be.
But tragically it didn't happen, at least got some satisfaction, but a sad ending, probably many fans would have loved and myself , if he didn't disappear. But life is unfair.
i would say it's worth watching whole season just for last 2 episodes, i felt like really seen what love is. i would never forget those moments

The ending scene of the show was amazing, when Jooin reads the letter written by Han Bisoo , the way it ended really thoughtful one from writer.
The relationships between mom daughter and mom son were at different level, and the friendships between the two moms and record owner was really interesting element and rare to watch.

I really liked the background music it played a key role in the love scenes, i would give a 100% thumbs up for it , definitely will go into my playlist and this kind of music motivates to learn music.

Even though it has more drawbacks in the drama but i am still giving 8 out of 10 because the story line and the lead actors chemistry. if it had some different ending and some comedy by other actors and some changes, The story line has potential enough to became one of the top most korean Tv shows.

"I do understand the writers view, he just want to share what would you do if you have few days time on the earth and ho would you spend your time with your loved ones". The story tells you many life lessons like "Every day is the best day in life, everyday is important, Everyone should experience love in their life". Also from the mom characters you can say how memories are so important in your life and Also when like someone no matter what you should confess your feelings, who knows what could happen?

improvements:

other actors roles and conversations were boring , writer probably concreted on lead actors and their story line .
The scenes between Han bisoo and yuzin were also not enjoyable, ,
could have made these
improvements , the show would have been next level

Finally i would say , Who knows Han Bisoo might have made it back next after 1 year, he probably lived his life marrying Jioona and had an amazing life with lots of love

In my humble opinion, this is an average so-so drama. Not much of intriguing plots. Just a standard of boy meets girl – Girl meets boy – Hating each other first, then fell in love – Then another boy jumped in between to form a triangle conflict – Then a cancer disease and amnesia/Alzheimer inserted in as usual (It won’t be a Korean drama if absenting these two tear jerking factors). Pretty much standard stuffs.

Nana’s acting skill has improved a lot since I last viewed her in “Into The Ring” where she played the role of kinda lunatic girl - very energetic but naive in politic – Politic was a very boring subject to me so I didn’t enjoy that series much – Nana acted much more mature and feminine in this one rather jumped around all over, all day like in the “Ring”. The wardrobes clothes was superb, hairstyle was awesome and groovy - Excellence.
Lee Min-ki was cool and fit the role nicely. His role was similar to the “Because This Is My First Life” in which he played an eccentric landlord together with Jung So-min. By the way, it seemed they always gave him the eccentric’s role which he played best (Remember “The Beauty Inside” ?)

He was funny in his own way while forming up the chemistry towards Nana. His choice of clothes rather unique but still cool. I wish maybe next time he will change the hairstyle a little bit to show his whole face instead of this usual bird nest type.
Kang Min-hyuk (the third person) still having a lot of space to improve his acting. His role of a rich hot boy chaebol was dulled and shallow – Again, I put the blame on screen/script writer that carved him some very mediocre activities. In the love competition w/ Lee, even while he's having every advantages – Longtime friendship w/ Nana, young, handsome, rich, highly educated (from Paris), a cosmetic company CEO, he was still acting hesitantly and reluctantly.

The two secondary couples - Lee's male boss and Nana's female boss - Lee's male assistant and Nana's female assistant's - was even worse, trying to be funny in some unbearable overreacting ways, not even worth to mention.

The fantasy factor - The angel(?) guy that saved Lee from the car accident and warned him that he does not have long to live just added unnecessary confusion to the story.

This has reminded me of the 2008 Korean drama "Star's Lover" - with the 2 leads: Choi Ji-woo (remember her?) and Yoo Ji-tae.
Very similar story. The male guy Yoo was a poor writer and the girl Choi was an rich actress - But the acting and screenplay was far much better (again, this is only my opinion).
Choi-Ji-woo played an excellent superb role there. The role was an famous, air-headed actress. Think about it, an actress played the role af an actress - Choi was really, really "evil" - She used all of her stardom power, street smart (she grew up in an orphanage), thick-faced tricks, innocent-faced tricks, all kind of dirty tricks in luring, seducing the poor writer Yoo (Can you guess she succeed or not?).
She can kiss him passionately then instantly said that was only an act and coolly walked away. She can tell straight to the face to one rich guy who took the coat off for her that she does not wear other people clothes - Only then later acting freezing in front of writer Yoo to gladly received his jacket.
She told writer Yoo to drive her to a place (that she's been there a hundred times) with an almost sobering voice that she doesn't know the way there...
She demanded and entering his house (in kinda violently forced her way in), change clothes to his T shirt, ate his food, kicked him out to sleep on his bed, even using his tooth brush... and won't leave until she got what she wanted.
She acted and acted and acted... You wouldn't know where and when whether she was sincere or just acting.

Well, this is not the place to talk about another drama but please, you got to see it to enjoy the Winter Sonata legendary Choi Ji-woo acting skill.

This is only my humble opinion up to episode 12 of this series. Sorry if I offended anyone.
