A Outra Oh Hae Young (2016)

Pathetic!

Possibly the worst drama I have watched. The acting was great but the characters were a mess and I could not engage with them. FL just the worst - drowning in self pity , literally in alcohol. Just a pathetic mess. I gave up watching as I just didn't care about her. She avoids any meaningful communication by drinking, sleeping, walking across busy roads! As usual chases the ML in the first part - how old is she?!! 32? Please more like 12!
The amount of drunkeness in this drama is just unbelievable - for adults to behave like this is just dismal. Totally unfunny and hardly giving young viewers role models.
All characters are simply dysfunctional and unlovable.
Dont waste your time watching this!

The story is an 8 for me because i wasn't expecting it to be so well thought out and actually complicated. I thought it would be just another mistaken identity romantic comedy so i put it on hold and i wish i had prioritised it.

It might well be just that for some but i have seen so many of these and i think what set this one apart was the emotions/acting from the leads. Everyone including the supporting actors delivered their emotions so well i found it hard not to empathise with all of them, needless to say i found myself so conflicted and frustrated with the emotions this drama was bringing out in me. Few dramas do this because i mostly roll my eyes these days at the things writers come up with so for me the fact that this actually stirred me up was a huge plus. I'm always pissed off at the writers of romantic comedies but i was impressed with this one.

I was also surprised at how much i enjoyed the romances not just between the leads but supporting couples. As mentioned, i feel like i've seen it all as far as dramas and nothing excites me but i enjoyed to the point of embarrassment the candid attraction between characters and the kisses actually had me questioning if i was still watching a kdrama. They are not usually that...real??

I don't tend to rewatch romantic comedies unless there's something i'm trying understand as far as the story/plot so that's the only reason i've given this a 5, it's not because i think poorly of it. The OST wasn't memorable either

I get why people liked it

I understand why this show has such a high rating and I understand why people liked it so much, but I just don't think it’s for me.

As multiple people have said, our FL is so weak and pathetic that it's, honestly, so painful to watch. Constantly humiliating and embarrassing herself when she's drunk, begging the ML to love her even though he told her – looking her dead in the eye –that he didn't want her(yes, I understand he thought he was doing the right thing for her, but the point still stands), and then we have her missing her friggin' spine. People, including the ML, constantly walking all over her. Like, honestly, she was just so unlikable. She doesn't need a man, she needs therapy.

I found the supporting cast pretty entertaining but, to be honest, they were pretty unlikable too (except for her parents – they were so unhinged, I loved it). The excessive drinking and drunken shenanigans really put me off.

Other than the characters themselves, I actually found everything about this show pretty great. The OST is amazing, all the actors did such an incredible job (Eric and Hyunjin are the loml), and the plot itself is actually quite interesting (although, it is a bit strange to date the person who ruined your relationship and is the reason your ex-fiancé went to jail, but it’s neither here nor there, I guess). But considering the characters make up literally 99.9% of the plot, it’s hard to move past my dislike for them. And this is why I’ll be dropping this drama 3 episodes away from finishing because I just can’t do this anymore.

The most worthless and irrational story among all series in the world

I really could not finish the drama
A few friends finished it, but like me, they were amazed by its irrational story.
How is it possible to write such a story and make a drama out of it and get a high score !!
The whole story is based on the failure of the main role woman's wedding and her hatred of her ex-fiancé for this.
In surprise, she immediately takes refuge and embraces someone, who is the cause of the wedding failure and the imprisonment of his ex-fiancé.
Begging For Love and excessive humiliation of main role woman.

And worst of all, the common hatred between the two, the main role man and woman of the story, from the former fiancé, even after the truth of the matter is known.

And even more ridiculous is that the main role man even mistakenly accused and imprisoned the former fiancé and ruined his marriage.
The main role man has no regrets and considers himself right
And the former fiancé was introduced as a monster, who deserves to die.
Because he told the main role woman that he hates her eating !!! :)))))
It is good that the author did not execute him, maybe she wanted to.

But the one who committed all the sins ......
The most worthless and irrational story among all Korean or American series and movies and so on
Again, where has reason and logic gone !!!

--------------------------------- The following section has been added ---------------------------------------------

The ML personally asked his stepfather not to invest in the second ML work exactly the day before the wedding✅

ML did this To take revenge on her fiancé. But what is the guilt of the second ML?
ML inflicted torment on the second ML. The torment that he himself had endured✅

ML never apologized to the second ML.
Even more interesting hit him with the car.
ML just said sorry to the FL. Even the FL said, only this.
And ML said, what do you want me to do?✅

with Seeing the misery and unhappiness of FL and his family up close And the Imprisonment of the second ML in prison, ML did nothing to make up for his mistake, Even He stole the second ML wife. He could tell the truth, Or at least he could have indicated that the second ML was in financial trouble✅

If we say that his business partner was corrupt, this has nothing to do with the second ML, Or if we say that the stepfather was a problem for the second ML in any case. It is like saying, for example, a murderer kills someone. And Interpret it this way that, In any case, every man must die one day. And ignore the guilt of the killer.✅

The most important point is that the ML never did anything to make up for his mistake until the end of the Drama.✅

We should not accept everything the media tells us. When the devil shows as an angel and evil as a good. At least we should know. These high scores, which have reached 20,000 so far, are very worrying.
Korean women writers are really professional, but both in this series and in other series, they analyze issues very irrationally.
Maybe it's because their only focus is on showing romance between a man and a woman at any cost to attract the viewer.✅

First off I'd like to thank this drama for giving me another annoying and slightly embarrassing thing that I do when I get a little tipsy. Which is to sing “Roof top party” over and over while shaking my butt in an unattractive manner. Okay, so I do it while sober too. What can I say it reminds me of one of my favorite characters/couples of the show. (If you've watched it I bet you've done it a few times too. Don't deny it.)

Another Miss Oh definitely was a surprise drama of the year. When I first read the synopsis it sounded like a hot mess. When the updates came in from other friends who decided to watch this one, I picked My Beautiful Gong Shim instead, they claimed it was amazing surprise that surpassed most of the dramas this year. After caving (and being disappointed by my Beautiful Gong Shim in the later episodes) I soon found they were totally right! Another Miss Oh is a unique and wonderful find.

There's a lot going on here. Tons of ideas and concepts used and explored. Yet the writer masterfully introduces and utilizes them. The crazy idea of Park Do Kyeong being able to see glimpses into the future transforms into one of the most beautiful love stories I've been able to enjoy in a drama. The whole idea that he ruined Oh Hae Yeong #1's current life because of mistaken idintity was even handled well. Having the same name as someone else even turned into an amazing story of self love and being happy with who and what you have. There's so many amazing elements that I can't cover them all, and I don't want to spoil them.

The side characters and stories were also fabulous. Oh Hae Yeong #1's parents where epic! Instead of being this cold or cruel things, or just parent figures for the sake of parent figures they were real people. I loved seeing the echoes of Park Do Kyeong and Oh Hae Yeong in her parents relationship. The idea that Oh Hae Yeong did pick someone like her dad was epic. The scene where her parents take her to karaoke to help her heal was funny, moving, and one of the best drama scenes ever.

Park Do Kyeong and Oh Hae Yeong aren't the only quirky romance going on. There's two more that I absolutely loved and I won't spoil anything. Just be aware it's there and it's awesome.

Oh Hae Yeong #1 is a complex lead and while she seems like the standard clumsy girl you soon find yourself realating to her and completely becoming wrapped up in her. She's fearless and even after being beaten down by love she fearlessly goes all in again. Despite doubts, fears, and reasons not to she choses to go all in. Because she never wants to say that she had regrets.

So the must noisy girl about love finds herself falling in love with Park Do Kyeong. A man who isn't in touch with his emotions, has super amounts of pride, and is quite the quiet one. Who better to awaken his emotions and realizing how much of his life he'd regret then her? Hmmmmmm?

Their love is beautiful and in the end fearless. Even with others opinions frowning down upon them they remain brave.

That said I did have some issues with the drama. First is that no one even mentions that Oh Hae Yeong is pretty much a drunk. I was really bored with how the first half of the drama kept showing her drunk and that the other characters were aware that she gets that way even when she isn't being dumped/miserable. That was probably why I felt disconnected despite all the amazing character building. I'm not someone who likes to get drunk and I don't care to watch drunks. Especially as getting drunk resulted in her doing things that made her miserable. When she quits drinking because she finds happiness I'm pretty sure her amount of alcohol consumption would lead to alcohol withdrawals. (It needed to be said.) I do give points to the writer for emphasizing that you are the biggest factor in staying miserable and sad. No matter what happens you can always be reborn again and move on.

Secondly was the pacing. So we spend a lot of time with drunken Oh Hae Yeong, lots of dramatic crying, staring/longing/dramatic moments of contemplation. There was one scene where we just watched Oh Hae Yeong watch the train leave the station over and over again. These moments felt like a waste as they lost their impact due to boredom and it took away from developing the story! No really I think it would have been good to use that time to let the side characters/stories shine more!

About episode 11ish I felt a shift in the drama, like the writer suddenly decided to add some new elements. It soon became almost like a dedication to someone. A bigger idea and you really have to pay close attention to catch and realize that it was there the whole time.

The music and cinematography were amazing. Considering that Park Do Kyeong works in sound production for movies I believe that having an amazing OST was very key for this drama. Well it is one of my top OSTs for the year! The sound team on Another Miss Oh did such a wonderful job that everything made a bigger impact by what music was playing. Even if you thought it wouldn't have worked it did.

Rewatch? Well I know I really want to see this crazy cast again! The slow bits make me a little leery and I really disliked how stupid OH Hae Yeong was drunk. I think way down the line after many years I'd want to revisit this unique drama. For now I'll just watch my favorite parts only.

Despite all the fabulously crazy ways it gets to it the message of Another Miss Oh is of finding happiness, never living with regret, saying what you wanna say, and that every action will have a reaction. I firmly believe that this breaks down many stereotypes of dramas! From side characters, to how female leads should be, cold male leads aren't that simple, parents are people too, and so on! Another Miss Oh should not be missed.

Underrated Gem!

I first saw Seo Hyeon Jin in Dr. Romantic. Didn't exactly like or dislike her there. Just so-so for me. This changed when I watched the Beauty Inside. I loved her acting. It was so effortless!

When my sister recommended Another Miss Oh, I decided to try it. It is turning out to be another gem of a drama. Just the right amount of comedy, laughs, romance, tear jerking dialogues.

The storyline for me, was unique. Have never seen one similar to it. I could feel her heartbreaks, trials, having to go through difficult times just because she was mistaken for the girl with the same name.

The stories of the other characters were something I could do without though. I kept skipping through them.

Back to the leads. It was my first time to watch a drama with Eric Mun. I have never seen or heard of him before so it took some time to get used to him. I actually found him not a typical Kdrama lead. Maybe his looks? But he grew on me eventually.

One thing I have found in the dramas that I like, is that Korean actors and actresses are really GOOD! You can pair them with almost anyone and more often than not, the chemistry is there. Their love stories turn out to be so believable that you end up rooting for them to take it from reel to real.

Still have several episodes to go for this, and I can't wait to see what happens next....

This drama was horrible, the story progressed in fast and empty way. There were a number of loopholes in the character development and story. The acting was very juvenile, with the characters either being portrayed in a 2 dimensional and childish manner. Take for instance the main characters mother, was very surface like, her character was not built on, so the audience was unable to empathize with her. If you look at the drama "Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food", the mother was built on her, her character was strong and powerfully expressed, making you understand why she was an antagonist, and allowing you to see good in her. This show was disgustingly filmed, written and acted. The characters, the settings and just everything in total was horrible.

If you are into mature, deep, and perfectly made dramas, please don't watch this nonsense.

I think this drama is quite good. It has drama and comedy in the right amount.
At first I thought the story was going to be really sad, but that didn't happen at all!
The acting is very good! The leads have so much chemistry... I think Eric did a really good job, because he didn't have a lot of lines, most of his emotions he just have to express by his eyes, that was so intense! Also, all the supporting roles were very funny, specially his noona and his best friend, also Hae Yeong mother - I loved her, and that thing she did with the clothes were sooooo good :'D I am gonna miss this one, totally going to rewatch someday.
The soundtrack is good too, the musics match the moments, howerver, after watching this drama, I never saw movies and tv shows the same way because of the sound effects :D
I think it is very enjoyable, for me it was just lacking a better production. Sometimes the scenes just didn't change smoothly, also the cameras were shaking a few times... But I totally think the story can overcome these.
Give it a try!

You must watch this drama

I started watching Korean dramas in 2018 and discovered "Another Miss Oh" in 2019. Since then, it has remained my favourite Korean drama until today. I've rewatched it four times now.

"Another Miss Oh" is a delightful romantic comedy with a unique twist. The drama’s premise of two women with the same name, Oh Hae-young, intertwined by fate and misunderstandings, sets the stage for a series that is both engaging and deeply moving. This mix of love, humor, and a bit of mystery makes the show very engaging.

Why I Liked It:
The characters are very likable and well-acted. Seo Hyun-jin, who plays the "ordinary" Oh Hae-young, is especially good. She makes you really feel her character's emotions. Eric Mun, as Park Do-kyung, is also very good and has great chemistry with Seo Hyun-jin.
The show has a lot of heartfelt moments that can make you laugh and cry. It talks about love, identity, and finding yourself in a way that feels very real and touching.
Even with all the emotional moments, the show is very funny. The jokes and funny situations are well-timed and help keep the mood light.

You must watch this drama!
