I wanted to watch Color of Woman because it was suppose to be Jae Hee’s comeback drama. I was also looking forward to another romantic comedy…
Story- I loved the first episode! It caught me off guard because it was so different. This is the first drama where the romance is between 2 former lovers. The story isn’t really anything new but it still managed to differ itself with the settings/locations. In the beginning it was so light and funny. I was looking forward to work competitions and also the romance. But it didn’t really go in that direction. I think they focused too heavily on the romance to the point I just became restless. After episode 15 I actually just the recaps till the end. The ending was kind of silly but happy nonetheless. This show would have been so much better if they cut it down to 16 episodes because they really did focus on the 4 leads to much.
Acting/Cast- I actually loved the entire cast. They all fit their roles well. Although the 4 lead characters had moments when they pissed me off, I still liked them. I'm a little disappointed with So Ra’s character development though. In the first couple eps you saw glimmers of what the professional So Ra working in the beauty business could look like. I found it odd that they didn’t stick with the makeover. I mean she looked like a bag lady for the entire drama! If this was the real world she would never get hired. I know she’s not about her looks but sticking out in your work environment is not the way to go if you want to be taken seriously, which she never was. I had second lead syndrome with Shim Ji Ho’s character. I'm a new fan of his. The supporting cast made this show awesome. Their side characters really added to the entertainment factor being hilarious and all.
Music- Great OST! I put a couple songs on my ipod.
Rewatch- I’d rewatch this about 2 yrs from now just because I loved the cast.
Overall Color of Woman is not anything you haven’t seen before and it can be frustrating to watch especially toward the end but I’d say watch for the cast at least. That’s the only reason this drama will be memorable for me.
