Another Miss Oh (2016)

I just want to share some thoughts I had while watching this drama.

Above all, I really enjoyed watching it, I was longing to watch a romantic comedy with angst at the same time and luckily I was able to find everything I was looking for in this drama. 18 episodes of 1 hour each was nothing for me! I watched so fast bcs it really caught my attention, all the episodes left me with a taste of wanting more.

So first, I want to talk about the main characters. Regular Oh Hae Young was, frankly, a very realistic character. I confess that at times she bothered me, but that was the most attractive thing about her. She is an independent character and could easily exist in real life. I was able to feel very empathetic about her, her insecurity and “trauma” with the beautiful Oh Hae Young may seem silly but in fact I managed to understand her completely. Sometimes she was selfish, as in the scene where she wished all the other women in the world to disappear, because she was feeling frustrated by her non-reciprocal love, and when she felt comfort in ML's pain. Those two scenes made me think a lot, and it made me like her sincerely. These feelings are Real, we all have these "intrusive" thoughts and feelings, and it's completely normal.

Park Do Kyeong was the most relatable to me. He is not an cold man, but an introverted man who is traumatized. His difficulty in expressing his feelings, in saying and acting when necessary, his way of giving up on things out of fear or simply feeling without energy for this, was very real to me. I am just like that - not traumatized with love at all - but quite the same introvert. And that is why his actions made so much sense to me, I could really feel with him and empathize with the character. The plot of how it was necessary for him to see his regrets before he died was also very interesting and made me reflect a lot on.

The romance was very captivating, it was great to see the growth of their feelings for each other and how deep it turned out to be. I confess that at times it was quite stressful, despite the characters being so realistic the romance didn't seem much, but I don't know why. However, I liked it nonetheless.

Here come the disgrace:

I couldn't stand the supporting characters, especially Jin Sang. HE GOT ON MY NERVES. I hated him and everything about him: without charisma, childish and SO BORING. The romance between him and Soo Kyeong was totally forced, meaningless and UNNECESSARY, I hated every moment of it. It was one of the things that ruined the drama for me. I was hoping for better development for Soo Kyeong, who was clearly a character with lost potential. Jin Sang could have had a much better development as well, he didn't return her feelings at any time, that was so clear to me. I HATE IT HERE.

Pretty Oh Hae Young and Tae Jin were okay for me, they were essential for the development and growth of the main characters. I also loved Oh Hae Young's mother and everything she did for her daughter, she is an admirable woman.

Also the use of alcohol to some extent was okay but there is a line that should not be crossed. I understand that it was used as a comic relief, but it was so exaggerated.

Overall, I really enjoyed this drama, it was a nice experience. Some of the conflicts were so real that they made me reflect on my life as well. In spite of everything, I do not recommend this drama for those who are starting in the world of k-dramas. I have this feeling that this drama is not for everyone.
