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....

It's like watching a horror movie and covering your eyes with your hands and peeking from time to time.
IT IS A HORROR MOVIE! INCONSISTENT CHARACTERS. MAD AND CRAZY LEADS. I think Tae Jin is the only one who isn't. NOTHING FEELS RIGHT IN THIS DRAMA.

#TeamTaejin
I’m not even finished watching this drama but I feel the need to review. To date, I have just begun ep 12 and am way too emotionally invested in the characters and storyline. Firstly, I absolutely love this drama. At this point, if I see “Studio Dragon” in the opening credits, I know I’m in for a great experience. I have not been disappointed with anything that’s come out of there yet. Secondly, I am Team Taejin all the way. Don’t get me wrong; I like Do-Kyeong but not nearly as much as Taejin. What Do-kyeong did was already foul but once he found out the truth and didn’t tell “ordinary” Oh Hae Young, it became unforgivable. Taejin’s breakdown rage scene in his car was me by the end of ep 11. This drama has my blood pressure UP! I am so over Ordinary Hae Young’s absolute dehydration for attention and expectations of very specific responses from Do-keyong. She’s the kind of person who plays scenarios in her mind and if real life doesn’t go as she planned, she gets mad. I can’t with her. Thirdly, I am not feeling “Pretty” Oh Hae Young or her fan club. Good Lord! Her fan club is so extra. Pretty OHY just needs to let it go! The entire ending of Pretty OHY and Do-kyeong’s relationship is completely messy and both of them are dead wrong with how they handled it. Dead wrong. Both of them. Equally. I said what I said. Lastly, like most dramas, I can predict how this one will end but I just wish it to be otherwise. Time to get back to the show. #TeamTaejin**Post completion edit: **
The leads:
‘Twas a struggle making it to the end of this drama because by episode 14, I was completely over Ordinary Hae Young’s childish and whiny personality. Every 5 minutes, she’s crying over something stupid and her inferiority complex makes her insufferable. Instead of a 32 year old woman, she acts like a 14 year old girl who has her first boyfriend. It’s not cute. I also feel like the marriage business was rushed. Hae Young is way too mentally immature to marry anyone. It got to the point where, the more I hated Hae Young, the more I liked Do-kyeong. Every time I saw her, I scowled, and every time I saw him, I smiled. I hated Hae Young almost as much as the MIL in Something in the Rain.
The others:
I really liked Soo-kyeong and Jin-sang’s relationship until it became rushed after “the night”. It was way too inorganic for my liking. Overall, still a great drama but the last 7 episodes were rough for me.

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!

It was ok, liked Ugly Ploy more
1. Very lacking in who they had in the lead actor and actress categories2. Watch this before you watch Unlucky Ploy the new version, other wise this one will make you disappointed. They actors and actresses pop more in the 2nd version, just more chemistry.... Felt this was pushed to fast and wanted to bring in up and coming's. Where with Unlucky Ploy they spent more time on casting the right actors.
3. I love the older actors who are in the support roles, they add a strong force to the movies, do to the strength of their acting skills. They really make the shows work.
4. Learning new things in life is what makes the world go around, there is a huge cultural difference between what I am use to in everyday life and what is seen in the Asian Culture. LOOKS and MONEY, play a huge roll in almost all these shows.
5. Until 2018 American Shows where what I watched, now I look to see the who, what, why's and when? Oh lets not forget the HOW? The ones I have seen thus far are very innocent based to an extent, no nudity, no major violence (until last week) most of the time, it leave most things to the imagination.
6. Korean shows have a lot going for them, and have been drawing me in more and more.....
7. Work on the endings, most feel rushed in the last 2 episodes just to get things wrapped up. There is a need to leave them wanting more, or a vision there could be a spin off to more seasons.

Unsettling feelings!!!
Oh my god I don't know how to start.if you haven't watched this drama and you are reading this review. Let me guide you how to watch it.
First go to some website, read the plot of 1 to 12 episodes at least, and make sure you wanna watch it. Don't go for the details. Read it just to familiaries with the characters and story.
And then start to watch it from ep 13. DO NOT WATCH IT FROM EP 1. Because it is so frustrating and disappointing to watch it from the beginning.
The actors are great of a choice. They made it so real and so good so that we will come to hate the characters. I mean how can someone create these kinda characters.
The FL is too pathetic. Without self respect. I hate that character towards the end. There wasn't a single point where I could feel connected to or emapathetic towards her. There was no justification to any of her actions. It was so frustrating to watch her in the whole series and that's the only... only drawback of this series. it was so disturbing and frustrating just to watch her.
The ML was annoying but understandable considering his situation. One of the good part of the story.
secondary couples were the best part. I enjoyed them. They made me smile. So it was good.
If you are a person who likes to watch pathetic FL dramas. This is for you.

Lives in My Mind Rent Free
Copied from my Viki:This drama has lived in my mind rent free since 2016. I re-watched it and somehow it was more unhinged than I remember. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard and felt so deeply in the span of 18 episodes. If I had to pick some things of Cultural Importance to show aliens, this would be on the list. Truly a Masterpiece worthy of study.

A perfect K-drama
My first review on MDL. This is a pretty darn perfect K-drama, thanks to brilliant writing, direction, and acting. What skill it takes as a writer to combine in one drama hysterically funny moments, heartbreak and trauma, and heartwarming moments ! One of the two writers, Park Hae Young, went on to write My Mister and then My Liberation Notes. What a line-up of awesome scripts ! Thank you Park Hae Young. My favorite actress in this series, in spite of the perfection of the FL and others, is Oh Hae Young’s mother played by Kim Mi Kyung. Wow. I’ve never seen someone play how deep mother-love can be, and mother-frustration, like how she does here. And SOOOO funny too. Park Do Kyung’s loss of his father as a child is one of the most heartbreaking scenes I’ve ever seen. No second-rate acting in the whole series. Loved the OST also; I’m playing it on a CD in my car as I rewatch the series for about the 5th time. Jung Seung Hwan was only about 18 or 19 when he recorded “If It Were You” about unrequited love. Hard to believe. Nobody does LONGING like K-Dramas.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
So Many Feels!!!
This Kdrama made it to my top 10 all time faves.This is just so good. It made me feel so much in every episode. The story is unique and very heartwarming, not just for the romance but for the other aspects of the drama as well. The relationship of the FL with her parents especially her mom is very relatable, the side characters and their stories are not annoying and enriches the drama and the ending was very well done as well. For me, they were able to close the show happily for all the characters and their issues resolved satisfactorily.
The acting was on point and the entire cast was amazing.
The soundtrack was also very good. I watched this a few years ago but up to now I still listen to their songs.
All in all a very great drama and very highly recommended.
