Could he or couldn't he wait until their wedding day? That was the question! However, I won't spoil it. Though I do like the way things ended up.
This was a fabulous ending episode, though I am bummed that questions about other characters were left n the dark. Such as KO and Hao Mei. I kept waiting and waiting, but alas it was not to be. At least Er Xi and Cao Guang were satisfying. Though the future of the "ex-villains" was never touched on.
It was all made up for by Wei Wei's dad tested Xiao Nai for son-in-law potential. As usual Xiao Nai's plan to win his father-in-law over was priceless. Not to mention that I found out dressing someone can be just as sex, or more so, then undressing someone. *fans self*
Brilliant ending to a wonderful drama.

"Why wouldn't I trust my girlfriend?"
Ah, with those words Xiao Nai has made it on to the top of my great Drama Guys list! *_* Not to mention the trust between Wei Wei and Xiao Nai elevates it above most of the dramas out there. It saddens me how rare it is to find a drama where the leads trust one another and have such a great (read healthy) relationship. Better yet is that Xiao Nai let Wei Wei handle the situation herself.
True he did meet up with Cao Guang at the end to put a little more force out there. But I think sometimes a guy needs to hear he's been a jerk from another guy.
I've been so focused on Cao Guang and Er Xi becoming a couple that I've been willing to overlook what a jerk Cao Guang is. Even if Wei Wei was double timing Cao Guang's plan was despicable. Not to mention that he didn't even do a 100% job of making sure the person he'd hurt would be his target.
On top of that Er Xi is acting crazy towards Wei Wei. In the line of Cao Guang mistaking her for Wei Wei I totally get it. Er Xi was crushing on her game husband, and it hurts. Though at the job stuff she did use Wei Wei's username. However, I believe that the main issue is that the guy she liked was only after Wei Wei.
Now I'm just disappointed in the Er Xi and Cao Guang pair up! Because he's a jerk.
Hopefully next episode Er Xi and Wei Wei can make up. Girls before jerks. That's the law of girlfriends.

Every time I see a romantic montage where the leads are having a good time talking and there's sweet romantic/fun music playing and you actually can't hear what they're saying I want to punch the writer/director! Because that's development time. I want to hear what they're saying.
Especially since I think Wei Wei and Xiao Nai really do need to warm up a bit more.
Oh, and the product placement! The cold/flu medicine and that juice. I'll give the director props for trying to make it seem natural, but sometimes it's just so blatant.
The direction with the cook from the cafeteria and Hao Mei has be so curious. The cook is hacking Hao Mei now! What's going on! (Is he romantically interested?)
I do enjoy that there wasn't some crazy hijinks to have the leads spend summer vacation together. The real life look and how they're relationship is developing is a great touch. Despite their romance starting online and stuff I feel like this is one of the most well grounded drama romances I've watched.
Gamers love too. ^_-

It's all about the BROMANCES And WOMANCE here! I love the friendship. Xiao Nai's three friends are great! I love how they're not jealous of him or worship him. They simply accept him and are hilarious! The whole socks stuff is just cute and nasty.
Wei Wei's friend in the game world with all her fake bluster is adorable! I love how real they feel and look forward to watching them interact.
It's one of my favorite things about this drama.
Not to mention how well this unique love story is being built. Thankfully no drama tropes of doom have been introduced yet. I hope it stays that way. Love O2O is so refreshing!

It's kind of fun that the two leads haven't met in real life. Maybe Xiao Nai knows Bei Wei Wei? It was questionable in that scene. But I think so.
Er Xi is so cute!! (That's Wei Weis best friend, right? I'm having a hard time catching everyone's name.) I really enjoy her even though at times she's a little too over the top. That's her charm.
I love the progression of the game story and the real world story. It will be fun if Wei Wei and her group of friends end up working for Xiao Nai's business.
There's another thing I forgot to mention but I also really love the humor for this drama. It's really funny and I love the characters. Though I do find the School's Number One Beauty's sidekick to be creepy.
Either way I really like this drama!

Another Miss Oh Episode 5

Bras inserts. If you wear them, don't be ashamed. They can fly/fall out. But hey, she got -- to laugh for the first time!
That said, it's really lame that they're going with an illness. I thought so, but in my mind that doesn't save you. You're getting married to the person who loves you, why wouldn't you talk to them? Why would you simple leave on your wedding day shattering them? How could you not even for an instant think about how that person would feel? Or that you could just waltz back and pick up things. They're also trying to make Hae Yeong #2 seem nice. But how nice can she truly be if she can't see how poorly everyone treats Hae Yeong #1 because/for her. They pick on Hae Yeong #1 to get #2's attention.
(Okay, so the illness isn't officially confirmed, but I'll have the last word when it is next episode!)
I know hands are really expressive. However, in Another Miss Oh I feel like they're really important. Between the shots of hands and the sometimes present sounds effects or important music it seems that way. Especially Do Kyeong's scrapped up hand.
Oh, my gosh! The scene with Soo Kyeong chasing Li Sang with the baseball bat is hilarious!! Not to mention that Do Kyeong simply watches. Following in his car. Ha-ha!
While I think what Hae Yeong #1 is setting up with Do Kyeong coming to pick her up, I totally understand. I felt petty and victorious too watching #2's face fall. Great work to the writer and actress for really making me feel it.
I really hope that Hae Yeong #2 can come to see things from Hae Yeong's view point. Or can get a taste of her own medicine. Maybe not from Hae Yeong #1, but from life.
While I still may not feel for Hae Yeong's (#1) drinking, I am growing to truly like her. I'm curious how things will play out. Especially with her deciding to give love her all onto she's dumped. I noticed since I first saw episode 1 that Lee Jae Yoon's character, Tae Jin, got bumped to a main role. So I'm wondering if he'll come back into Hae Yeong #1's life.
Personally if you can be cruel enough to dump someone because you think it's better for them you don't deserve that person.

Another Miss Oh Episode 1

A little bit of a rough start, but there's a lot of promise. The cinematography is truly stunning. The concept is definitely unique. Honestly I thought it would just be a comedy about how two woman name Oh Hae Yeong find all kinds of complications because of their names.
What I found was a the start of karmic justice. Maybe.
To be honest it was really slow. There was this point in the show were it not only time jumped and it was in the middle of what I still question was a dream sequence/vision or if they really passed each other and met? it was really poorly done. It looked beautiful when it happened.
Oh Hae Yeong . . . does mesh with me at this point. I think her idea of being the one to call of the wedding was a strong move. I give her props and at first I thought she decided to just be herself and go with it. But she's in the middle of a crisis. I'm very curious to how the writers will handle it.
There's a lot of promise and once things started to click together I find this show even more intriguing. I'm bummed that Lee Jae Yoon is just a supporting role that is clearly not going to be a lead. Oh, well. I'm sure he's still going to be awesome. So far I feel like the actors haven't hit their stride yet. This show is either going to be awesome or a miss.

Mirror of the Witch Episode 3
4 people found this review helpful
Well things escalated quite nicely. For the writers to pack this into 16 episodes I'm thankful. Especially at the pace they're setting and the ender for this episode. (But stop with the creepy nails falling/breaking off!) I love the magic and the way every thing looks.
Though part of me is wondering why the curse/ghost slipped up the skirt again? No really. Forget a chastity belt. I want a possession deterrent belt. Just when I thought it was safe to uncross the legs.
Sure this episode made me cringe. The team of good guys didn't realize that those were illusions, and the sword man slipped. Even the old guys stayed balanced. You don't want a falling swordsman. Not to mention that Hyun Seo is under the illusion that by keeping Poong Yeon and Seo Ri in the dark this is somehow protecting them. Never with hold information. Forewarned is forearmed. After all if they new the truth they probably would take things seriously. Of course, one would think they'd realize that Hyun Seo isn't doing this to be evil. He's a good guy, there's a reason.
Not to mention that the reason for Heo Jun getting the money is to free his mother. So when he gets in trouble and his mom instantly tries to save him and then fix the situation he reacts stupid. It's noble that he wouldn't cave. But boy did he forget that his mother is a slave, and ultimately the one who will suffer from his actions. It was painful to watch on so many levels. (Not to mention that the preview makes me even more nervous.)
Rant aside I truly enjoyed this episode. Kim Sae Ron does a great job and I was moved by many of the scenes. I love the pace that the writers have set for this show. Often times it seems like dramas drag things out even with shorter episode counts. Visually Mirror of the Witch is stunning and I love that the team behind it isn't just stopping at the graphics. At episode three I think it's safe to say that I will be following this drama onward and to the end. The writing still manages to make connections with the characters even for such a fast pace and I'm invested.

Phew! What a wild episode. Both sides are throwing punches and it's amazing. Healer keeps delivering!
While I'm super annoyed that Jung Hoo, Moon Ho, and Min Ja didn't think that the Elder and Farmers wouldn't try to toy with them. Though I guess they thought they had all the evidence in place and that they'd only be played with a little bit. However, the Elder wants and gets. Or tries to take. It was interesting seeing those shady tactics going down. Well done.
Again I can't believe how strong the writing still is! The story, romance, and characters are still on point. Not to mention that epic team up at the end. Jung Hoo is going after the big guys and it's going to be "fun"! (Oh, was so worried for Min Ja.)
Can't believe the last there is only one more episode!

OMG!!! What an episode. Oh, and that ending! The characters are just amazing. Just so well realized. Everything feels more intense. Many other shows have had these elements, but can't create payoff like this.
I guess my first guess about who Junk Seok was right. It is Healer's father. The mystery off the past is starting to become more clear. What a story.
It's official I adore Yeong Shin. She's so cute and brave. That adorable "camera test" she did was too, well, adorable! Healer is going to be in the palm of her hand. (Duh.)
Well I'm not going to yammer on, to the next episode!

No really, this OST! Amazing. It doesn't hurt they had Beast's Shock in there as well. ^_-
Episode 4, and while it's still sketchy about the tie ins to the past I think I'm catching on. Can't wait for everything to be fully revealed. What a info tease.
Props to Ji Chang Wook. He goes from being a badass to an awkward cutie in a blink! Amazing. Healer could have only been played by this guy. (Well maybe not, but I'm glad it's him.) Watching his facial expressions is beyond consuming. He can play that awkward guy, but then you see in his face that he's Healer picking up on the things. It's too cool!
I really like Young Shin as well. It annoys me that yet again another female lead is the damsel, but it fits with this story well and doesn't feel forced. Things are well out of her hands now and she's going to need that extra help. Her dark past is a haunting echo against her happy life. It all balances out well. Part of me really wants to see her "devious" skills put to the text. Let's pick some locks!
It's official I'm continuing this series. The mystery and conspiracies being setup are so amazing! And while it's was hard to follow at first I'm really happy that not everything was revealed up front. It's like this tantalizing treat putting the pieces together.

Holy adorableness. Just when I thought Sun Ae grabby-grabby and attacking Seon Woo was getting to a point where any charms it possessed was getting old (no means no people!) it throws in that amazing cliffhanger! Ah!
This epsisode is a fabulous stepping stone for many characters and developing their links to each other. The darker themes surrounding the care accident that Eun Hee was in adds just enough mystery on the side. And conspiracy! Because I'm pretty sure that Sun Ae's death happened during that accident. Clearly Seong Jae has some sinister role going on, and I'm convinced it's some kind of evil ghost possession.
Oh My Ghost keeps bring the smiles and the warm hearted emotions. It pained me to stay away from this dramas because my internet service was crap. (The curse of living in the sticks.) Seon Woo has definitely broke out of his stereotype and become a real boy. You can see how caring he is and how being bullied and alone in his youth has made him use a "cold exterior" to deal with the world. It's wonderful seeing his softer side, and I genuinely feel like he's developed into a solid character. Sun Ae's back story time has helped to develop her as well and I enjoyed seeing her and Bong Seon interact. Even if Bong Seon is still very underdeveloped and I feel like the writers are going to leave her that way.
At this point I have to give Park Bo Young a standing ovation. Her acting skills presented in playing Bong Seon and then Sun Ae is amazing! She's won me over as a fan.

Birth of a Beauty Episode 7
4 people found this review helpful
Wow, for a bit there I thought this was a slightly slower episode with not as much punch as the previous ones. It didn't transition well at the beginning from that amazing ending. However, I shouldn't have doubted. At this point Birth of a Beauty is probably one of the most shocking dramas I've started up at random. Because it's totally blowing my mind!
Sure this episode does a lot of building up, but it still packs some punches. Chae Yeon's true colors are revealed and while I found some of the scenes with her a bit slow it also helps to show how spoiled and . . . childish she is for all her elegance.
Again this episode ends on a dramatic note, but a much funnier one. Revealing something that isn't normaly revealed until much later in most dramas. (Really I am praying that BoaB does not run out of steam later on down the line.)
Sa Ra / Sa Geum Ran's character felt a little strange this episode. Probably becasue some more shocking truths are messing with her. Sa Ra realize's she needs to become harsher to deal with such evil people. The scene where she "poisons" her family shows how Sa Ra is walking the edge and could plumet to her own moral distruction. But, with the magic of BoaB writing, it soon turns into some good laughs. Also, playing up later how caring Sa Ra is and what she's willing to protect Tae Hee from. It's a great touch as now Sa Ra's own revenge could now transform her into a a bad guy.
There are many plots coming to a head here. Tae Hee's grandmother is now being caught up in the take over for WInner. Min Hyeok is putting his takeover plans into action, and is slowly tracking down Sa Ra. Tae Hee is in emotional turmoil and is dealing with some hard truths. Chae Yeon's darker side is showing. Best part is the mental torment of Kang Joon is just starting up, and the consequences for him and what he'll do are just barely revving up.

Birth of a Beauty Episode 4

Wow, there is so much that happens in this episode! At this point just completely forget what the show description is trying to sell you. Birth of a Beauty? What kind of title is that? This show is a mash up of so much stuff and this episode just blew me away.
Kang Joon is the handsome evil villain I've been dying for my K-drama. Evil, conniving, and no secret "good" side. One of the best lines about him:
"Don't say that people might think I'm a womanizer."
"Kang Joon, you are a womanizer."
Hopefully BoaB has the kahunas to stick this out for Kang Joon's development. With hints that Chae Yeon might be just as dastardly? And who has whom's fingers in which evil plot? Wow!
Considering that BoaB is not dragging things out at this point and last episode and this one keep the hits coming, I love it! No slowing down! However, I hope it can keep up this pace and not falter. There are 16 episodes left and plenty of time to fall into the dark space of filler.
This is the episode viewers should aim to reach, because you'll no whether or not this show is worth sticking out. BoaB has got my attention and I'm more then willing to follow it to what ever ending.
Especially after Sa Ra uses her evil eyes at the end there!

I know a lot of MDL are saying this is fun and light! But it's also really solid writing.
I like how the plot is building and that it isn't a copy another drama or a trope.
It was really smart of the writers to not make the Quest that Xiao Nai had Wei Wei marry him to compete in be so long. In fact, the final end test was the opening of this episode! So it was very exciting and I enjoyed it. But having the "wife" just sit there and wait for the "husband" to find her was lame. There wasn't much help she could do and I can't believe that the final test would be like that. If I was a wife character I'd call boredom.
Other than that I love it! The business side of Xiao Nai's launching his own game and how he has to fight against the bigger guy! To how he is slowly wooing Wei Wei. Not to mention Xiao Nai's bros and the bromance was just so sweet.
I did miss Er Xi and Cao Guang development! Still the pacing is great and I love the slow build up. Xiao Nai and Wei Wei haven't even had real world interactions beyond a few bump ins and they already have such great chemistry. Not to mention the anticipation of them finally meeting for real in the real world. Let alone becoming a couple!! Ahhhhhhh!
