Amazing acting, terrible script
I'm really sad while writing this because I waited since september to watch Oh My Ladylord and it turn out to be a really so so drama. The problem with this show is totally and only the script. It is a really bad written drama, the story is all over the place and the characters suffer a bunch of changes during the episodes and in the end, everything is a mess.
The writer created a lot of plots, but he couldn't hadle them. Every story needs a beginning, development and ending, but in OML, there are a lot of beginnings but no development. And a lot of stories don't have ending (hello, Bisoo's dad and his revenge...). And yes, a lot of plots are completely useless. There are countless tropes too; they are a problem because it makes the show super cliché.
Beyond that, the scriptwriter, Jo Jin Kook, decided to makes us hate the leads. First, we hate SL in the first seconds of his appearence because he's a creepy dude and his only personality is giving presents to Jooin. Then, the author made us hate Jooin for being indecisive for liking both - the ML and SL - when it was more than obvious that she didn't have romantic feelings for Yujin. Later, Jo Jin Kook transformed Han Bisoo into the jerkiest human being. WHY? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO YOUR OWN SHOW?! Jooin and Bisoo were so well written in the begining, why it had to change so much? I don't understand.
The positive things:
- Acting. All the actors worked really hard for this show and the acting was the only thing that made me continue watching.
- Chemistry between the leads: they have a huge chemistry and really convince being a couple in love. Their skinship scenes were very natural and warm, and the kissing scenes are the best kissing scenes I ever watched in a kdrama. Well done Nana and LMK, good job.
- Chemistry between the leads and their moms: it was cute. Their moments were really precious and I loved every second of it.
- Bisoo's old friend: oh, he's so adorable. I loved his scenes.
- The OST: I really liked the OST.
The problem with OML that makes me so sad is: the first 6 episodes were really great. They were a little bit slow, but were really enjoyable to watch. So is sad seeing this potential amazing show turning into a mediocre story because of the poor and lazy writing.
*
If you are interested in watching OML, I suggest you to watch the episodes 1-6, 9-11, 15-16. Episodes 7, 8, 12, 13 and 14 were just too stressful.
Ps: please my dear and adorable cast, choose a good script for your next project. You guys are amazing! Stay away from Jo Jin Kook (I wish him the best, but please, he needs to study more before writing a show).
