Why Oh Soo-jae?
A few people wondered why is the drama named the way it is, 'Why Her?'
Well let me explain from my point of view;
This show became one of my favorites from just the first episode and it's ending.
It lured me in so easily and it made me stay till the end. I don't know if it's because of my love towards Seo Hyun Jin, Hwang In Yeop or just the way the story was unfolding. But it made me stay.
We meet the FL already in the beginning of the first episode, she is a star lawyer who is the youngest partner at TK Law Firm. She has become empty while pursuing only success, sadly. She was pushed out as an adjunct professor at a law school because of an unexpected incident. A twenty-seven years old law school student who is warm and innocent, but hides a painful past with a twisted fate.
From the first moment you meet the FL you already notice how she is, the prickly Oh Soo-jae or Oh Annoying as others gave her the nickname, which I found extremely funny.
She is an impressive character because having a hard time to become a lawyer despite her humble high school diploma background and everyday she battles against sexism, sexual harrassment and class divides in that so called patriarchy system.
After struggling for years in her company, the whole thing made her extremely cold: her tongue is as sharp as her clothes and style, she is witty and barely makes mistakes.
She started ruling over her subordinates with an iron fist, is quite a girl boss and knows men ain't sh*t, and she, by all means, wins all over cases.
Sadly due to those things, she became cocky, proclaiming herself as things she isn't and started having no sympathy for people and her causes.
That sadly becomes her downfall and that's when the actual drama starts. Despite all of her struggles, her hard work, her managment and precise actions;
Why Oh Soo-jae?
Why Her?
Why did she get all the bad things happening to her despite having such a sad past?
When she is kicked out, some might think: “Oh, that’s quite bad, but she kind of had it coming.”
When she ignores her duties as a professor, we get confused. That's when that question might come in again, why her?
Why are people supposed to care about her? Why should they give her a chance?
The answer is not immediately there at the beginning, but as we see glimpses of Soo-jae’s life and her sad past, we warm up to her character, we get to see the real her. We get to see her cry. And mourn. We see her try to commit suicide. We get to see her go through things people don't deserve to go through. We see her fight through this partiarchal society.
But we also see that she had the power all along.
Because there is no force bigger than a woman determined to rise.
No matter what.
