Another Miss Oh (2016)

This drama is mostly like foreshadowing which in my case thee used Pretty well. I loved how every character big and small where somehow very important and a big key role to fuel a lot of the anger and disappointment in the episodes. Every character is important. I feel as the characters bring the main roles together. It’s like a force pushing them together. This drama is one of the hilarious dramas I have ever seen thanks to the lead actress in here. Her facial expression are really really good. Every character is connected from the past all the way to the present and even in the future. You will know what I mean when you watch the drama.

This is another one of those dramas that are always on the recommended lists. After watching it, I can see why. It has a lot of good qualities to it.

The characters were all pretty likable, and mostly acted in none stupid ways. When someone made a dumb decision, I could at least see it from their perspective and understand how they would of come to that conclusion.

I found the main romance to be very delightful. It took awhile, but once they started showing their feelings too each other, it was very heartwarming.

The main problem I had with this drama though, that stopped it from being a 9.5 or even a 10 from me, is that it did a terrible job letting the viewer know when the scene they were watching was a flashback or present day. The timeline in this drama moves so erratically that when a scene changes I always expect it to be like the next day or later that day, but then realizing sometimes that it was something that happened over a year ago. The opposite happened sometimes as well. A scene change and I think they are in the past because the characters are wearing something different or they are talking about something that was never shown, only to find out it was still present day.

I really enjoyed this drama and can understand completely why it is recommended so much.

I highly recommend this drama.

It's a must watch drama

The story of this drama is simple but very it's captivating. The story is written beautifully with consistent pace from the very start although it slows down a bit after episode 11. Twists that have been added to the story make the drama become more intriguing. Moreover, side story of characters other than the leads is inserted with a good proportion. Honestly, the story is perfectly written.

The casts have done great job in playing their roles. Not only the leads, but also the supporting characters. It's really heart wrenching to see the female lead despair as well as the male lead remorse. The other characters, especially main lead's sister and friend are potrayed in a very crazy but suitable way. I highly appreciate the casts

I love all the sountracks of this drama. I listen to all the soundtracks without being tired of them.

I strongly recommend you to watch it.

Refreshingly mature take on the romance K-drama.

I absolutely loved this drama, and thought the way the story progressed and eventually resolved was such a mature, refreshing change from what I have traditionally seen in the romance genre. Even the side/second-lead stories wrap up beautifully, and I love it when side characters and secondary love interests are given agency independent of the main characters and story arcs. You will come to love each of the characters in this drama for who they are as individuals, and I was honestly sad to say goodbye once I reached the end of the series.

Conflict is handled very maturely, and it feels like the writers favoured personal growth - however painful - over stereotypical, unearned resolutions. After following the characters' journeys it felt like everybody got the ending that was best for them, NOT the ending that made them happiest, and I will always treasure this series for that. I also really like that the main couple were given the opportunity to grow and learn about each other, as despite the extraordinary circumstances it felt like we were watching a far more realistic love story unfold.

My only real negative with Another Miss Oh is a particular side-couple we meet early on, who are a strange juxtaposition to the rest of the highly mature cast. They have a significant age gap, with the girl being a young teenager and the "boy" being close to thirty, and although I understand they were comic relief I just found the majority of their scenes both uncomfortable and pretty unnecessary.

Other then that, Another Miss Oh is a wonderful drama I'd be very happy to sit through again, due to its fantastic emotional maturity.

I never considered watching Another Miss Oh because it seemed really complicated and just not my thing, but after being encouraged multiple times by my friend Kingsqueen whose watched it multiple times, I figured it was time to give it a chance. And I must say - it very cute! I very much enjoyed it. The ending was nicely done where everything was wrapped up neatly. I was told that there was a plot twist and you don't get to that twist until the ending :D. I can happily say that the twist and overall execution of the drama makes sense based on the rules set by the drama, so that was also a plus for me. I'm not sure if I'd watch the *whole* thing all over again, but I did love some very specific parts that I'll probably watch again on YouTube as clips.

I really loved certain characters, such as the lawyer friend, Ji Sang, and Oh Hae Young's parents. I personally enjoyed watching Ji Sang and the noona interact the most - their dynamics were pretty laugh out loud hilarious.
A lot of people said that Do Kyung's mother was pretty horrible, but I didn't find her to be that bad because the Chairman was WAYYY worse to me. And in the end, I still felt bad for the ex-fiance of Oh Hae Young. He got the short end of the stick soooo many different ways by so many people that I feel for him. He was douche-y at some moments, but I pity him, really - his life was pretty crappy all because of other people.

Overall, it was a very nice drama. I'm glad I watched it. Personally, I like a bit more comedy in my drama, but this was still good even though it had a bit more serious parts in it than I prefer. It actually reminds me a lot of Laughter in Waikiki. Laughter in Waikiki is very similar in set-up, just a much lighter version with no *real* bad guy other than life itself.

its hard to come by a good comedy romance drama because it tend to be cliche and predictable. most of the time you can guess what would the characters say next or what they gonna do based on their personality/role and the situation. yet this drama overcome all of that. while the scene or situation might seem cliche but id often go "woah thats cool line" or "what a darn thing to do". this drama also managed to avoid useless filler and unnecessary fanservice scene. every scene count for the build up. tension and emotion. and while while it is a comedic drama it has some depth to its story. pretty rare.

there are also many memorable scene like the "drunken french" or "drunk/crazy dance"

the music also complement the drama well

●The story was nice with all the chaos caused due to the same name. But I wasn’t expecting the 180degree change of story centering the ML. Park do kyung deja Vu was making the story pretty interesting and I enjoyed it. When the story is fully untangled its really satisfying to see the bad people get punished.
I don’t like the soo kyung and jin sang story. The characters were interesting but they were like screen filler to whole story.
●Acting wise everyone one was very good. I enjoyed it. My favourite character was mother of oh hae young that is hwang deok yi.
Seo hyun jin was playing the role of heartbroken oh hae young very nicely but I didn’t like her hairstyle. If she tied her hair she would be more beautiful.
Eric Mun was handsome and good at the role but felt more cold in the entire series. When there was romance also he felt cold.
The dance sequence at the end was amazing I just loved it.

●And am extreamly disappointed with this bully culture and judging people around based on looks. Calling someone pretty and ugly is so not right.
Based on colour,money,parents,looks, judging has been a plotline of so many dramas so i feel its necessary to be stopped.
●Overall this show is a good watch. But definitely not a rewatch for me

This drama has a nice mix of the serious with the fun, a nice broad mix of characters and nobody really feels like a "bit part" - everyone brought their elements to the story.

The ML and FL were great but for me the secondary characters were just as good, whether it was Kim Mi Kyung's portrayal of the slightly insane mother of Hae-Young - she's definitely one of my favourite older female actresses and it was good to see her role given much more of a presence than I've seen her with in some other "mother" roles previously. Heo Young Ji as the girlfriend of one of the family's brothers was another real wildcard too, I didn't know what to expect from her character when she first appears but she turns out to be a really good character in the story and really fun to watch.

The other secondary character that was actually the main reason for picking this show was Ye Ji Won - having enjoyed her work in Thirty But Seventeen where she played a monotone, black and white, mary-poppins type character I was curious to see her in another role. In the first couple of scenes it looks like it's going to be a similar type of character but it doesn't take long to get a bigger picture and wow what a difference :) Wild and wacky and yet another great comedic element to the story.

All the comedic side characters are great as they provide an emotional break to some of the heavier elements of the story.

Main story was great, and has a nice under pinning message of living for today. Give everything your all, don't risk looking back later and wishing if only you'd done more, loved more etc. Don't let pettiness get in the way, don't let your pride stop you from doing what you wish you had.

My main issues were that some times it just got a bit confusing what was going on, in one instance one of the secondary couples has a major blowout and end their relationship and then a few scenes later all is back to normal without any scene to reconnect them - not the end of the world but just seemed odd as they made a big deal of ending it. Some times there are flashback scenes to the past where you learn more about Hae-young's history in school, but it wasn't always clear until a bit of a way into the scene that this is what was happening. There were numerous times where it just felt like something had been skipped along the way, or a scene missed.

The ML's business is adding the sound layer to movies, and this had the odd side effect of making me hyper-sensitive to the audio layer on the drama, suddenly every walking sound or any other sounds sounded layered on, I don't know whether they amped the sounds up to contribute to this or if it was just psychological on my part but it was amusing and actually added to the sounds somewhat. For those that don't know how this side of movie and tv production works it provides an interesting insight I think.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this one, a good mix with a decent main story and some interesting side characters with their own stories. OST - nothing outstanding but nothing bad either.

Would probably re-watch this at some point.

Lesson learned: never judge a drama from it's title.

I put off watching this drama because the plot didn't sound very promising and I especially hate the annoying third party arc in a lot of dramas but after reading reviews, I finally took the plunge and happy that I did.

The story line was interesting in that they have some supernatural elements that seemed plausible. There was a good moral to the story, the side/supporting characters were all interesting, the friendship deep, a filial son, very supportive parents (Oh Hae Young's) and a great love that went through a lot of challenges.

Pros: different types of love were shown - parent's love for their daughter, brother/sister relationship, noona romance, May-December romance, love and loyalty between friends and co-workers, et al. 
Cons: there was not much difference between the 2 Oh Hae Youngs, beauty-wise. I really wanted to give the main Oh Hae Young a good hairdo but she was equally pretty as the other Oh Hae Young.

I'll stop here as I do not want to spoil anything by giving too much info.

Bottom line: Watch it!
