You either love it or you hate it
I just love this writer so much that what can I even say...I mean it's the writer of My Mister we are talking about. The direction was also mind blowing. Some scenes are just like a dream, and here is the irony, an innuendo you will figure out only once you watch the drama. I still listen to the soundtrack and it still brings me back to all the messy, complex and nostalgic feelings of when I first watched it. The love stories were all so tangible and understandable that you can't but feel closer and closer to her emotions. This drama is not aiming for perfection, hell no. Every character is so imperfect and somehow at some point it feels complete, it feels like you were in the story all this while and you start feeling empathy for each of the characters.The acting of the whole cast was superb and it was so funny! My favorite character is the eonni, she is so funny and talented that I can't imagine how much they must have been laughing or been in awe while shooting her scenes! You will find yourself laughing in scenes you thought were the saddest. It was Korean comedy 10/10. During some cuts it was difficult to keep watching in public for the fear that some weird reaction came out, especially during the kiss scenes, but oh let me tell you, the first kiss, that was the best onscreen kiss of Korean television ever. No overestimation here.
I found the story-line to be extremely unique and all the characters were three-dimensional. Many of the things will make you extremely angry and they should: that's exactly the portrayal of the beauty standard in Korean societies. If you think it's unfair, well done, you got the point.

A Solid Journey of Emotions
This show started by having a weird set-up, where I couldn't imagine myself liking the ML for what he did to the FL and her ex, but the after a while I was proven wrong. It was a unique plot and what seemed like a BIG MESS finished with a pretty closed and fulfilling ending. The acting wasn't superb nor did it stand out for me, but It served the story well enough. The music was great, found myself always finding new songs to listen to almost every episodeWas this review helpful to you?
Amazing
I absolutely loved this show!! Solid 9.5/10. I wasn't bored once and every episode kept me watching from scene to scene, all the way from beginning to end. It's very hard to find a drama that will keep my attention like that these days. This show has some of the best chemistry I've seen (those hugs!) not to mention what might be the most intense and hottest first kiss scene in kdrama history.My only complaint is half way through the show FL started to seriously get on my nerves. She's so incredibly moody that she was annoying even me and I'm not sure how ML could stand her, she was so moody that sometimes he couldn't do anything right. She's also crazy, and would tell him things like randomly blurting out "I want us to die together right now." By the end of the show she was constantly whining, nagging and crying and even embarrassing him.
That's literally my only issue with this show, and it was easy to overlook because everything else was so damn good. Definitely a must watch for the chemistry alone.

PERFECT! JUST PERFECT!
I'm writing this review while listening the OST and I still can feel the happiness while watching this drama.So far, I only have 2 dramas on my most favorite K-drama list: Because This Is My First Life and Another Miss Oh. These 2 dramas value a perfect score to me. I have nothing to protest about them two. Everything is just awesomely perfect.
Another Miss Oh is one of a kind, very special. At the first time, I even questioned why the title has to have that "another" word. Turned out, that word is the main keyword of the whole story. Brilliant!
I already saw Seo Hyun Jin from Dr. Romantic ( yes, I watched Dr. Romantic first) but she didn't awe me like what she did in Another Miss Oh. But I can tell that she's a good actress. No matter what role she plays, she's good. What awe me the most is how she sang beautifully on one of the OST is this drama. She sounds very nice! Not forget to tell that Eric Mun is very handsome in his 40. I still wonder why K-drama actors don't age! The older, the hotter. Gosh!
Please do watch this one if you haven't yet!

The plot of the drama was also intriguing enough for me to want to continue watching. Here we have two people with the same names but two different personalities. Both female leads had cute moments with the male lead, but inevitably only one was able to truly become end game with the male lead. Supernatural effects of the male lead receiving foreshadowing moments that dominantly contained visions of the female lead.
The show was in fact pretty predictable. There wasn't many plot twists, but they happened in places that was expected of the drama (I mean, I'm not complaining though).
Overall, my rewatch scale is high just to notify myself that the scenes between the two leads are a must watch again. Such a spectacular drama that deserves being watched again and again.

Seo Hyun Jin - The Queen Of Rom-Com
At first, I hesitated to watch this drama, and I'm glad I did it finally.This drama is true to itself till the end, it starts with what it represents, just lefts you in awe.
If you're looking for a Rom-Com with some Melodramatic moments,
Fun and creative things about life and such situations.
This drama is for you.
The best thing is the romance, God you don't get to see such a passionate love in such a creative way every time.
Watching this is a bliss ^^
I loved every bit of it.
The acting and cast are brilliant.
Don't even doubt anything, anytime you see
Seo Hyun Jin that drama can't be bad I swear.
She's the 2nd best expression queen after the great Jun Ji Hyun,
She and Jun Ji Hyun are made for Rom-Com.
ENJOY! ^^

Light and fresh comedy
I looked for something to watch while waiting for the new episodes of "Vincenzo" and "Sisyphus", and bumped into "Another Miss Oh".No regrets.
Loved the mom ("today is the day I kill her", "you can keep her" ...) always looking out for her daughter, though trying to show that she doesn't.
Loved the fact that among the members of the two original couples there were no bastards, but merely victims of the circumstances. Too bad that the author did not give a glimpse of what happened to TaeJin and Pretty Oh HaeYoung (simply showing one dating and/or applying for a job, or deciding to attend the wedding notwithstanding the earlier mess).
Not too crazy about the punk girl and her boyfriend.
Could have improved, and better rehearsed, the French spoken by SooKyung, e.g. the "embrasse" in the elevator, and the other guy saying "better get out". Having French instead of standard boring English was however refreshing.
Loved the beach scene where one of the girl is also called Oh HaeYoung and is unrelated - of course - to the two other Oh Hae Young from Seoul.

This was a "last resort" drama for me, I avoided watching it over and over again, would always find another drama to watch instead, etc. boy was that dumb of me.
As one of the top reviews states, this drama isn't your usual romantic comedy, I've watched two dramas by this director and without a doubt, this one blew the other out of the water.
Now I will say it begins slowly and speeds up quickly, there is a lot of push and pull and this drama is not for the judgmental types. The characters are the most real-to-life drama characters I've seen, they handle things realistically, and realistically people make dumb decisions that impact them and others negatively, so you'll see a fair amount of that in this drama, if you're someone who can relate strongly to characters and understand dumb decisions this will be a good drama for you. As someone who frequently tries to understand the psyche and decision-making process of characters, this was a joy to watch actually.
An interesting thing about this series is the premonition aspect, I love how it's not so pushed that the series feels unrealistic or fantasy based like While You Were Sleeping, which is one of my favorite dramas, but that's beside the point. The combination of different genres was fantastic, unlike Introverted Boss's genre transitions (Introverted Boss is by the same writer, mind you.) this felt fluid and natural in terms of the scene changes. The drama can become frustrating because, as a stated before, the characters are realistically ambivalent and often dumb, so you will have to go into this drama with patience and understanding for human faults.
The main couple doesn't have a perfect relationship as some reviewers have stated, but in real life, relationships aren't perfect, that said I would not by a long shot say their relationship is toxic or abusive. They have drastically different personality types, but that makes for amazing character development of their flaws and fears, it was great to see their relationship progress with Do Kyung being so closed off and protected and Hae Young being so open. That said if you read the "Cold Man/Warm Woman" tag you needn't worry, while he is quiet, stubborn, and many times irritating or grumpy, Do Kyung is never one of those male leads that is super possessive or abusive to the female lead. Any character faults or relationship problems are self-aware and out in the open, they aren't viewed as positives or ambiguous as sometimes character flaws are in dramas.
The supporting cast is WONDERFUL, after watching this Ye Ji Won moved from being an actress I liked to my current favorite drama actress, as I'm rewatching this series for the third time, this time with my mom, my mother and I are constantly laughing at Ye Ji Won's character, she's so lovable and crazy while dually being serious and understandable. Despite their flaws, all the supporting characters felt in some way lovable (save Chairman Jang, I hate him) or at least understandable. I do however think I'm the only person besides one of the top reviewers here who really disliked Tae Jin and found him irritating while dually understanding him and pitying him, I noticed while watching the drama many people hated Do Kyung and loved Tae Jin then eventually changed sides and acted as though they were rooting against Tae Jin the entire time. My problem with Tae Jin was that at least popular OHY knew when to call it quits and at least Do Kyung regretted his mistakes and felt remorse, as the other top reviewer states, Tae Jin reacts like a child throughout the entire show and throws temper tantrums, understandable tantrums, but anger-blinded tantrums nonetheless. I may be biased though because while I believe he's a good actor, I've never cared for any of Lee Jae Yoon's roles.
Regarding the OST, there are only three dramas where I like more than two songs off the OST, those dramas are While You Were Sleeping, Goblin, and Another Miss Oh. I'm not into Kpop, but I do love me some Korean ballads and indie music. There are a couple songs that occasionally are played too much, but the good songs make up for it. If It Was You makes me nearly cry every time and this drama introduced me to one of my top 10 favorite artists, The Black Skirts. The first time they played Till The End of Time/Wait More by The Black Skirts I was like "Oh no, I'm gonna get hooked aren't I?" I was right, every time they played this song I broke down crying, Bryan Cho/The Black Skirts is so gifted at melancholy music and Wait More is one of it's kind where OSTs are concerned, very unique and not very drama-like if that makes sense. Another artist I loved on here was Roy Kim, if he's on an OST you know it's a winner.
Overall, I'd say to definitely watch this drama, if I were to suggest three dramas to a person who has never watched one I'd suggest Good Doctor, WYWS, and the first one I'd recommend is this. My main suggestion would be to go into this drama openminded with patience and understanding of human faults and if you can do that I think you'll love it.

Interesting Premise, slow in some parts
8.5/10 is my rating. This tv drama is also known as Another Miss Oh. This is a 2016 South Korean drama with 18, 60 minute, episodes.Oh Hae-young (Seo Hyun-jin) grew up in the shadow of another girl, who went to the same school, who had the same name. Things finally seem to be going right for her in her adult life when she is on the verge of marrying Han Tae-jin (Lee Jae-yoon) an attractive businessman who is worthy of bragging about. However, the day before their wedding, Tae-jin breaks it off saying some very hurtful things. Park Do-kyung (Eric Mun) is no stranger to heartbreak, his fiance did not show up on the day of their wedding. Do-kyung finds out that Hae-young is going to marry another man, Tae-jin and Do-kyung and his friend formulate plot to ruin the husband to be and stop the marriage. Do-kyun is a successful sound director who supports his brother and his widowed mother. His mother is looking for a wealthy husband who just so happens to have the right connections to help Do-kyung carry out his plot. Only problem is he is breaking up the wedding, and ruining the husband to be, of the wrong Hae-young. Now there are two miserable, jilted, people who fatefully cross paths and find solace in each other. Hae-young does not know Do-kyung, who she is drawn to as if by fate, is the very person who caused her current unhappiness. Can a relationship built over such a deception last? Tae-jin is acquitted and returns to reclaim his intended bride. Will Hae-youngs feelings rekindle? The other "pretty" Hae-young returns and decides she made a mistake and wants Do-kyun back, will her beauty and style win back Do-kyun? Can the "normal" Oh Hae-young step out of the shadow of the other Hae-young and realize her own worth?
Spoiler ? I liked this one but I didn't love it. Some of the posters showed dolls and such so I thought it would be a lot more comedic than it actually was. The characters said things to each other that I cannot imagine anyone saying to someone else and that person still liking them. They also say things about other people and life that is a bit shocking. I really liked the side romance. I also liked the main male lead's sister and his friends. The story was compelling, the romance was sweetly satisfying but there were times, when I felt angry or shocked at things the characters said or did. I also found that it dragged a bit for me, in some areas. And her mom was strangely abusive to her daughter. it was good but I didn't think it was great. Totally worth watching but not a list topper.

This drama has now become my NUMBER 1 FAVORITE OF ALL. It's original, it keeps you guessing, it touches your heart, it makes you laugh, it makes you fall in love, makes your heart break, it's just a freakin' good drama!
The characters, main and supporting were perfectly written and perfectly portrayed by the actors. I can relate so much to Oh Hae Young who's just all in when she's in love because I'm just as crazy when I was in love.
This drama moved me so much and I have not been so affected like this by a drama in such a long time.
If you like to dramas that make you swoon, angry, and cry. This is for you and you won't regret it. By end of ep1, you will be hooked!
