Well I have, I was looking for a series that have more characters who are so lovable and related that it makes me feel like that I'm a part of their group. Thank goodness, I found One More Happy Ending!
Story wise, it's your typical romantic-comedy drama, but that doesn't mean you don't get to enjoy the ride!
I like how the 4 female leads have their own individual plots at the same time you can feel their connection when they come together as friends talking about their lives. The actresses have a great chemistry, which makes the drama so authentic. There were some conflicts that I feel like wasn't necessary but everything got resolved at the end.
The finale gave a wonderful closure to all the subplots and I am satisfied with the outcome. Tho I feel like I was parting ways with my friends as I finished the show.
I highly recommend it to those looking for a drama that makes you feel a whirlwind of emotions, and yet ended as a feel-good series.

Exciting & heartfelt yet humorous.
Amazing character with great storyline.
I laugh with them cry and feels emotion like it's real acting was really great. I don't actually prefer watching these genre this much though but Kyungho and Nara made me, these two really did great job they were really into their character.
This is my very first time to write a review about something. I'm the type to watch and just rate I don't bother to write some long and lengthy reviews but this drama I wanted to share my thoughts about it therefore I decided to write a review.
After a very long time.. Long in a while this might be the first drama to make me excited to can't stop and keep watching, it got me hyped at to that point that I must have to sit down with pillow to clutch and release my excitement and overjoyed through it.
First of all I'll start off with discussing the cast if not of this cast I'll probably never watch it & even if I do started this drama I'll probably dropped because of boredom only after 2 ep, thankfully because of the cast I continued this show and watch one after another and trust me I didn't get bore even for a second it isn't skippable for me, as for me i watched the whole drama without skipping even a second and acting was that superb that i rewatch over and over again some scenes and still not getting over it yet. Though it's been a while like about a month that I've finished watching this drama.
ACTING:
In my opinion, as for me the acting was excellent actors acted really well, and delivered emotions as it should be. They all portrayed their character really well that I can't even imagine anyone else in their place, it's like the character was just for them to act.
Jung Kyung Ho
I love seeing Jung Kyung Ho's dramas, because I'm truly amazed by how much variety of expressions/emotions he has with him inside, and as he acts/express them outside once I watch him act I'm truly captivated and i like his acting alot. And I'm a fan before but now I really respect him as an actor now. To be honest this is Jung Kyungho's first ever drama that I have watched.
Jang Nara
This is her first drama I have seen. I know her very well though but never watch any of the drama that she was in.
She was really a great actress and acted really well. She portrayed her character well and is major reason behind why I loved this series alot.
Kwon Yul
Just like Nara and Kyung Ho it's my first time seeing him act too. He was now become one of those actors, I will starts watching those dramas which I was ignoring untill now. The reason to pick the drama to watch.
Last but not least the kid Min woo
I think I'm a fan now. I like his acting alot he acted really well and gives off every emotions/expressions he was told to do.
All the other actors & actresses in this drama acted really well in this series. And the amazing cast makes it hard me to to forget this drama.
OST's/ Musics.
In the whole series these collection of OST's really contributed to make this drama even more special, memorable and unforgettable for me. Specially the song that's title was "IF", this songs makes the scene more emotional and became one of those reason which helps drama to deliver specific emotion to us in a really light, soft and loving way.
Characters:
Song Soo Hyuk played by Jung Kyung Ho -
I will discuss him first since he was my favorite character. A very goofy character i like very thing about this character, Song Soohyuk is a guy who is never interested in dating and getting married but when he met Ham Mimo again after many years his love revives cause he loves her with his whole heart from then to now, a very caring and kindhearted guy. And Jung Kyung Ho as Song Soo Hyuk also made my heart skips a beat he is a guy of a dream.
Han Mi Mo played by Jang Na Ra -
A very fluffy and cute character.
She was a typical girl, who dream of what most girls dreams are, to marry a guy who she love and wanted to be loved.
Koo Hae Joon played by Kwon Yul -
Koo Hae Joon is a very charming doctor. Very nice and a gentle guy. Who is caring but had no idea about women heart.
I was excited and hyped over the whole drama.
This drama has really different yet unique story line.
All actors as these characters are really a gem and unforgettable.
Rewatch:
Yup ??
I have done rewatching it twice a time when i was streaming.
For me I am going to rewatch it. Because it was really light and average drama.
I will recommend it to those who are in search of something light that will make them relax and a little humor to make their mood brighten.
A heartfelt family drama that will makes you laugh, is somewhat relatable, soft & fluffy.
And at last but embarrassed about my rip eng.

What this drama does well is the relationship between Song Soo Hyuk and Han Mi Mo. Jung Kyung Ho. The more kdramas I watch with him, the more I see him as an actor that consistently has great chemistry with his co-stars; whether it be romantic chemistry or simply platonic, Jung Kyung Ho always meshes well. Jung Kyung Ho and Jang Na Ra are a fantastic combination. Song Soo Hyuk and Han Mi Mo have a playful banter with an underlying attraction that can be felt through the screen. Their relationship drives the show and their scenes were the highlight. Jung Kyung Ho plays cute but totally hilarious and sassy so well! He is literally like a squish-able puppy on screen! His character Song Soo Hyuk is adorable and witty, but he is also grounded and responsible. His relationship with his son Min Woo is beyond precious and that is the other highlight of this show. Jang Na Ra's character Han Mi Mo is a little flighty, a little frustratingly air-headed at times, but she is also optimistic and fun-loving and has enough spunk and self-confidence to make wise decisions and make her a likeable leading lady.
Overall, I think One More Happy Ending could have been vastly improved had it focused more on Song Soo Hyuk and Han Mi Mo's relationship. I never grew tired of their scenes and was left wanting more of them which was a feeling I didn't have for a vast majority of the other characters. I also would've appreciated more scenes with father and son, Soo Hyuk and Min Woo. I felt like Soo Hyuk being a single dad was meant to be such a framework for the storyline and yet the scenes between father and son were so few and far between. This was especially frustrating since their scenes were always very meaningful and heartwarming to watch.
I like a good love-triangle, yes it can be overused in kdramas, but if it is done well and the characters are empathetic and their actions plausible then I'm all for it. But the balance was all off in this one. It was obvious to the audience from square one that Soo Hyuk was best for Mi Mo and more than that, it quickly became very obvious that Hae Joon was not. But beyond even that, Hae Joon as a character was too cookie cutter. There wasn't anything that made him unique or like-able. He was one dimensionally manipulative and dominant, and somehow still managed to be boring!
As for the other angel's members, I felt disconnected to their stories. I don't think any of their story-lines were developed enough for me to become attached to their characters. And beyond that their story-lines were so predictable that as we hopped from one woman's relationship to the next I just couldn't seem to engage.
If you like romantic comedies, I would recommend watching this for the main couple. Song Soo Hyuk and Han Mi Mo are adorable and have great chemistry! The story is pretty basic, and everything else kind of blurs together into this category of "meh". I will probably never rewatch this, but I have already gone back and rewatched scenes of the main couple.

I really enjoyed this drama, but it did have its imperfections. The only real imperfect worth mentioning is that I do not think there was a good balance of screen time for all the characters. While I know that the divorced MC and her childhood classmate are the true MC's, it felt like all 4 best friends were supposed to be unveiled throughout the story equally, but they weren't. The divorced female MC and the best friend whose marriage is a bit rocky I feel like get the most screen time where we get to really understand where each character is coming from.
Unfortunately, the other 2 best friends (the model best friend and the best friend who is always single) do not get sufficient screen time compared to their 2 best friends. The reason I say this is because the model friend and the single best friend feel very superficial - we don't really learn anything to their histories/in-depth interactions with their significant others to really get anything other than shallow stereotypes. This wasn't too distracting as I was not too terribly interested in the chronically single best friend, but I did find myself curious about *how* things were able to turn out the way they did for the model friend with her significant other.
The imbalance of screen time wasn't anything that ruined the drama, just something I think could have made the story stronger on all ends for a more well-rounded drama.
I'd recommend this drama to someone who would like to watch a romantic comedy with some touching/serious moments sprinkled in. The balance on genres was good, so when things do get more serious they don't get overly dramatic because something comedic always pulled up the tone.
I probably won't rewatch this drama as a whole and instead, I'll rewatch some funny clips or watch some music videos for this drama.

Good on So Many Levels
9/10 is my rating. This is a 2016 South Korean Drama with 16 episodes (60 minutes/episode. It is also known as Happy Once Again.The story centers around four women who are living life and trying to find happiness after their time as girl band idols in a group called "Angels." There is actually a fifth member but the girl group fell apart because of her and she has only a very small part of the story. Han Mi-mo (Jang Na-Ra) is the main female lead and she falls in love easily. She is a hopeless romantic who has been hurt many times in her search for the right one. With her best friend and former band member, Baek Da-Jung (Yoo Da-In) she runs a matchmaking service called "Brave Wedding." All of the women are in their 30s now and feeling the clock tick on their ability to find the right guy (or salvage a current relationship) and experience their happily ever after. Across the hall from Mi-mo is her former classmate who she recently reunited with, Song Su-Hyuk (Jung Kyung-ho), who is a reporter and a single father. He has an attractive doctor best friend, Goo Hae-joon (Kwon Yul) who decides to pursue Mi-mo after Song Su-Hyuk reassures him he has no romantic interest in her. Da-Jung married an older wealth man and has one child but her marriage is in jeopardy as the couple has grown apart. Go Dong-mi (Yoo In-na) was the least popular member of the group and is now a teacher who is having a hard time finding love. Hong Ae-Ran (Seo In-young) is the owner of an internet shopping mall and on the verge of getting married to someone she is not sure she loves.
Spoiler ? This movie was quite different than what I expected from synopsis and reviews. I expected it to be very light and fluffy and actually it has some deep elements. It was enjoyable watching all the different stories and how they came together. It was one of the few dramas where I preferred the lead to the second guy. The friendship between the women was a central part of the story and it was enjoyable to see how they supported each other in life and love. No-one is ever more honest than a close friend. The ending was surprising - which I liked. But it ended well/happy.

This is nice and simple drama with fluffy and cheesy romance. The main leads were cute and adorable but i find their drunken scenes too hard to believe and a bit excessive.When the second male lead hearts was broken, i felt really bad for him because it was clear she jumped onto him at the feeling of a crush.
the others side stories were heart warming. but the scene with the lady that had cancer was unnecessarily dragged, she should have settled with her husband when she was sick so we could have have a happily married couple vibe for most of the show.
the curly hair lady falls in love so easily and gets heartbroken so fast.
basically in love the second time around you meed to be sure of the right emotions before jumping in

When this show ended, the first thing I thought was: "Bummer". And no, not because I was sorry it was finished, but because it was the clear example of a missed opportunity to make a good drama.This show was very promising at the beginning (the first 2/3 episodes were very funny, mature, even a bit spicy, with some sort of Sex And The City vibe) but, IMHO, it loses its sense of humour along the way, to the point that I started to find it really boring: too repetitive and the story drags itself out too much, particularly towards the end.
The two leads, for me. were the only saving grace. especially Jang Nara: she is definitively one of my favourite Korean actresses. Love her!
