The series started off strong. Unique storyline & enjoyable characters. However some things annoyed me early on and then it totally went downhill around episode 8 or 10. I didn't understand how the vibrant adult Hae Young lost all confidence once "pretty" Hae Young re-entered the picture. Come on. Pretty Hae Young herself never made fun of or put her down, it was always others around them. That was extremely disappointing & irksome. However, I still enjoyed the show until Hae Young's fiance Tae-Jin returned; then it torpedoed into hating it.
This is the man that you loved enough to marry & sent you into drinking stupor to try to deal with the loss but when he comes back & tells you the reason he left, you didn't run back into his arms???!!!! That's a freaking joke! She knows he broke things off with her to save her but was still cold towards him? Disgusting. Hadn't only a few months passed before he came back? In that time, she moved on and fell so hard for Do-Kyung she couldn't go back to her fiance? That's a lie and incredibly unrealistic. She still forgave him after finding out he ruined her potential marriage over he same woman she hated from high school? I think not. I'm infuriated by this and made me hate the whole series. Why not change up the standard ending & put her back with her fiance? If she moved on so easily, she never loved him in the first place. Do- Kyung didn't show her some love she couldn't move on from.
Lastly, Hae Young's mom was too much. Her first reaction when she found out she wanted to cancel her wedding was to beat her? Then when she saw her daughter spiraling & coming home drunk every night she kicked her out of the house instead of talking to and trying to help her because she was embarrassed by her daughter? Wow.

Plot is simple yet boring. One thing what i liked is 1st leads job. Different from all the dramas there. You will love his job, but drama is boring.Two Oh's in same school. 1 beautiful and 2nd ok ok. 2nd girl is always looked down and compared to 1st. Later both goes separate ways. Fall in love with different guys.
beautiful Oh cancelled her marriage bcz guy's (1st lead) mom plays some trick. guy is unaware and thinks she cheated.
2nd oh is getting getting married happily. However 1st hero thinks this is cheater Oh (bcz of same name) and ruins 2nd leads business and he is about to go jail. 2nd lead cancels his marriage before the marriage day bcz of business but he says that he hates ok ok looking Oh.
Both 1st hero and Ok ok oh are in pain. Coincidentally they met and 1st hero understood his mistake.
2nd male lead released from jail and got to know that he was wronged from 1st hero. Later he starts pursuing ok ok Oh back but However OK OK Oh has fallen in love with 1st hero. This makes our 2nd lead angry.
Later you can think of story. both guys facing together and their cold wars, heartaches etc etc. I found it extremely boring. However finally 1st lead and ok ok Oh gets together.

I haven't been this addicted to a drama in a long time
This show is the most realistic romantic kdrama I’ve watched. It's been a long time since I have rewatched a drama so many times. I stay awake all night just rewatching scenes because it gives me so much feeeeels.Every time I see the girl smile or do something embarrassing I can’t help but smile or when she picks herself up and brushes it off I smile even more. I can relate to the main leads so much. I understand her struggle in comparing to others and I understand his sadness and struggle in opening up to his feelings. The scenes are romantic because the guy is sad and shy so when he does anything that shows his real emotions, it’s really romantic.
It doesn’t have the typical jealous moments or the death stakes. It’s just 2 people who fall in love and the struggles that come with that. Such a believable romance.
The writer really understood emotions. I understood why the characters would act the way they did. She really understands pain and loss. I could feel the same pain when the characters were hurting.
The directing was amazing. I like how they used sound to create emotions and story tell.
I have to take points off for the slow 4 episodes before the ending. Sometimes I think the girl can be irrational like an annoying child but other than that, I love it.
I would rewatch it for the romance.

Story: Well written, and directed. Story dealing with being alive and living - Regrets & passion - Defining learning how to love! Loved the surrounding cast and all the realistic quirkiness of their lives & loves. Well written + stellar camera/sound work. My only issue from a full 10, the last couple eps felt like they pull the story along unnecessarily, the story was gripping enough.
Acting/Cast: An entire cast of REAL actors. People with skills and chemistry. The two leads were simply magnetic, drawing in each other and us! The lawyer & noona couple were simply delightful and magical to watch their story & iteration of love bloom. Well done selection of actors to carry off this this twisted storyline.
Music: Rather "wormy" & well done!
ReW: Yes - after some time to digest all the content of this drama.
Final Note: Do not be fooled by some of the bubble-gummy looking posters. Read some of the reviews, trust the fellow MDL'er whose reviews you can believe. Learned my lesson -

STORY: It's not much of a kdrama in terms of the theme and plot like Pinocchio, I Hear Your Voice and Descendants of the Sun, but in terms of relationship, chemistry, character progression, and the main couple's personality, it was the most adorable, loving and REALISTIC couple relationship I've ever seen portrayed in a korean drama (and I have watched A LOT)
Not just the main couple being the most adorable, but also the side characters and what they bring to the story. They were also very cute and had better chemistry than most main couples in other dramas, that and they were very entertaining and brought comic relief for the most part.
THIS DRAMA REALLY TEACHES A GOOD LIFE LESSON - - about how you can never avoid the inevitable, but it's up to the person and individual to make it a positive outcome or see it as a positive thing (see it in a different light)
THE DRAMA ALSO HAS PROBABLY THE BEST ENDING AND MOST UNEXPECTED SURPRISING ENDING I'VE EVER SEEN! PROPS 9.5/10 for the story
ACTING/CAST: Like I said before, the actors and actresses really portrayed their character really well, if not better than most dramas I've seen. When ever I saw Seo Hyun Jin (girl who plays main girl Oh Hae Young) cry, I teared up easily, and I barely cry in dramas, even during deaths of loved ones in many other Korean dramas. The acting was the MOST CONVINCING I've ever seen. Seo Hyun Jin did a really great job.
Eric also did a really great job, portraying a much more chill (but not so chill) male protagonist. Both main actors did a really great job. Not only that, but the side characters had really convincing acting too (even during parts where they cried also)
MUSIC: Of course this drama has great music! The theme of this kdrama plot revolves around the male protagonist being a CEO of a sound recording company! Great OST, reminds me a lot of Western music, like Perks of Being a Wallflower OST. Really well made and set the tone when ever something intense, lovely or just plain fun happened.
REWATCH VALUE: The rewatch value will be different for everyone, but for the general audience it would probably be a one time watch for them. But for me it will probably be a 10/10, only because this drama brought me so much joy
OVERALL: In conclusion I had a lot of fun following this drama when it was ongoing. I couldn't wait to watch the next episode because each episode ended off so well. I haven't felt like this in a while with kdramas (other than Descendants of the Sun)
9.5/10 for this drama!

I only watched the entire series just to know that is it really bad at the end too!!
It is! It is just that bad I honestly can't understand why I didn't just stopped watching after episode 4th like if the drama was coming off as mild at first, after 4th episode, it just got down the drain.Like why, why?
The female is sooooo woeful that it just made me angry. I think her role was written to be a pitiful main lead where we all symathize with her and adore her or something, but the role just came as a simpile pathetic one.
Like, why does she have to be all up on the guy who clearly wants nothing to do with her. The main lead shows just basic human deceny and she goes in fall in love with him. He told her he want to do nothing with her, she becomes more clingy.
The main heroine have none like ZERO self respect and it is just ao sad, she is plain selfish and let things go. She held a grudge for 14 years with the other lead. Like girl move on.
The main female lead hated the second female lead just because they share the same name and in high school othera preferd her more than the lead, and it's not the fault of other lead too, why won't anyone like her she is kind to everyone and not in q series vamp way too, she is just nice and don't want people to abandon her.
The female lead never stands up for herself and just finds fault with everything else. She is juat desperate for the main lead to love her and clearly does not get the idea when he rejects her. She very rudely invades the maind lead space the way you really don't want to be invaded, and want' s him for herself.
She doesn't want to give the chance for thw main male lead and second female lead to clear the air between them, and uses her ex so that, she don't go running to the main lead.
The main leas literally put a wall between them which just cannot seem to accept. I haven't watch a more pitiful main leas in any series where i actually don't feel pity for her. She is a drunk who just sobs at any point even the situation doesn't call for it. She crys when the main hero isn't home when they are not even friends also.
The side characters are a little break from all the nonsense, and had a better story line than the lead.

One of the BEST laughs I've had...
I hardly write reviews...but this funny drama is really one of my favorite...The story is not the best but I enjoyed it A LOT because of the funny scenes...I seriously laughed so hard in many scenes. I laughed even harder the second time watching it so I decided to write a review about it...Each couple has their funny moments and touching scenes...My favorite is the older sister with her brother's friend...I believe I will watch it the 3rd time a few years later...The story has its unrealistic side but the heartache the main leads go through is very relatable...I can see why many relationships don't last...This drama will help you realize that "forgiveness" and "courage" is the best combination/medicine you'll need to meet happiness...Enjoy!!Was this review helpful to you?

Self-Sabotagers Anonymous: How To Stop Holding Yourself Back
Right - I think you need to have some semblance of patience to endure this show, as it definitely has its frustrating moments with Do Kyung's constant back-and-forth with his emotions. However, that back-and-forth is exactly what makes Another Miss Oh so beautifully real.For my fellow self-sabotagers out there, the drama plays with the very real idea that becoming a better, healthier, happier person is a daily conscious decision. Throughout the show, Do Kyung struggles with his welded-shut heart, a product of a fairly traumatic parental loss as well as the betrayal of Oh Hae Young #2. Fearing any further pain or loss he could open himself up to if he opened up his heart, he stays behind his own self-constructed walls, comfortable, but lonely, and ultimately injuring himself even more.
Even when we have our main couple happily in love, we still see DK hesitating to say what he feels, to act on his emotions. Right until the end, he still makes the wrong decisions - the comfortable decision, the decision to turn your back and keep yourself away from others so you don't open yourself up to hurt. And yet, gradually, he begins to turn around, faster each time. He learns to open himself up to love, to life, even when that means opening himself up to hurt.
Have you ever seen the French film Amelie? Very unexpectedly, Miss Oh reminded me of it. Both feature a protagonist who has been traumatised by the world, by human relationships, and who would rather hide themselves away behind a wall, even though deep down they know they're doing themselves more harm than good. Both try to open themselves up to people multiple times, but run away scared, back into their own comfort zones. But, in the end, you've got to make the decision: do you let your heart grow cold or do you reach out and grab life, with its equal parts love and hurt, by the hands?
You grab it by the hands, MDL. Never would I have thought a Kdrama could teach me such an important, and much-needed, life lesson, but here we are. Watch the show, internalise the well-written, well-acted message, and then do it. Pull a Park Do Kyung, and reach out and grab life.

Criminally Underrated
With a 8.2 rating on MDL, I didn’t expect much but decided to watch Another Miss Oh anyway because it kept popping up on lists of good romcoms, which I quite enjoy if they are actually funny and not a collection of stupid jokes and embarrassing scenes. This show really took me by surprise with how good it was. While there is some potty humor (literally), it’s mostly a beautiful story of how two people fall in love even though the odds are very much against them.The plot is very intricate, starting out with the male lead being responsible for ruining the female lead’s wedding because he confused her with another woman with the same name, who just happens to be his ex. Naturally, they fall in love, but there are many obstacles to overcome and it’s great to see how hard they fight for their relationship. Instead of feeling insecure after being dumped a day before her wedding, our heroine pursues love wholeheartedly and without holding back. Other reviewers thought she was clingy and desperate; I felt she was quite the opposite, hopeful and determined to find happiness with the right guy.
Many of the supporting characters are on the quirky side, the eccentric sister, the crazy brother and his even crazier girlfriend, the supportive parents (unusual in a K-drama, right?), the evil CEO… All very entertaining and there are many funny scenes. A slight supernatural element works well with the plot. The actors were absolutely perfect in their roles. And of course, the kisses… ooh lala. I often find these scenes a bit cringeworthy or worse, utterly unbelievable, but not here. Oh no.
If you are looking for a well-made romcom with a strong emphasis on love, family and friendship, this is a great show to watch. I have no idea why it’s not rated much higher.

Masochist meets conceited jerk
I don't think I've regretted watching a drama as much as I regret watching this. The story and script is so poorly written, no amount of good acting saves it. Sure, there's humour but it is overshadowed by the stale story. This drama has the most frustratingly bland characters and problematic "romances". The male lead's mother is the most odious woman alive. But you don't even feel sorry for the ML because he's a jackass. The FL is a whiny, entitled, victim-card playing, "easy", crybaby who has zero self respect. Pathetic. There are so many plot holes. Lazy writing. Ridiculous. Apart from the ML's job, there's absolutely nothing interesting in this drama.Was this review helpful to you?
