This is an extraordinary rom com with many twists and turns on the traditional drama tropes, and will leave you laughing from the story and crying for your mom.
We start off having the traditional lead character setup: male ruined female's life, then they accidentally fall in love, but male couldn't tell female he was responsible for ruining her life, then ???, then happily ever after. So many melodramas are like this, it's not even interesting anymore.
HOWEVER.
We also have something supernatural on the male lead's side, which really added to the foreshadowing/suspense/mystery element of the show. And despite the sad circumstances of the female lead, she is not a dumb character who holds everything in. We also got real villains in this story (more complex than the "jealous second female lead" or "male lead's disapproving rich mom" tropes), and people's lives are at stake. The foreshadowing along with the "will they/won't they change their fate" element really hooked me in, and I can't believe I nearly missed this gem because of the crappy drama title.
First time seeing Eric Mun act, but this is my 3rd? 4th? Seo Hyun-jin drama. And her acting excites me everytime. I can see why Another Miss Oh is one of the fan favorites, because she really killed it with her character emotions. I also hated the villains' guts, so like that's great acting right there (just saying). Also, the chemistry between the leads is so strong! The rewatch value score completely comes from their steamy kiss scenes (shhh
When melodramas give female leads a nice family / mom, the mother-daughter scenes always give me (happy) goosebumps. One thing to look forward to in the drama is the way the female lead's mom expresses her unconditional love for her throughout the story. Not the Go Back Couple / Queen for 7 Days tear-jerking level, but still soooo much heart warming happened during those scenes.
Overall there are better rom coms than this, which is why this is a 9/10; but it's a must-watch if you're looking for some heart-warming family interactions and steamy female/male lead chemistry... and a break from traditional melodrama tropes.
