MOOK IS BEAUTIFUL

I finally finished watching Oh My Boss, and honestly, I have to say this drama was a huge letdown for me. At first, I was excited because it seemed like it would be a fun office romance with some drama sprinkled in. Plus, Mook is absolutely gorgeous and really did a great job in her role—she was probably the best part of the whole series for me. Luke was okay too, but I wouldn’t say he stood out. He was just… fine.

The problems for me started piling up with the way the plot was handled. One of the biggest issues was how the female lead’s mother was written. She said such nasty, rude things that really hurt her daughter, but then she was forgiven so quickly, like it was no big deal. I get that forgiveness is important, but this just felt rushed and unrealistic. Words like that cut deep, and I wanted to see a more meaningful resolution, not something brushed off so easily.

And then there’s the antagonist woman. Wow, she was honestly exhausting to watch. Her actions throughout the drama were way too much, almost cartoonishly evil at times. And after all that, the show tried to redeem her in such a lazy way. Suddenly she regrets everything just because the female lead confronts her, and the male lead kneels down in front of her? That’s it? After everything she put them through, that’s all it took? It felt so cheap, like the writers just wanted to wrap it up quickly without giving it the weight it deserved.

But the thing that annoyed me the most was definitely the male lead’s behavior. He just stood there like a mannequin while another woman touched him and flirted with him right in front of his girlfriend. I mean, hello? Do you not have a mouth to say, “Please don’t touch me, I have a girlfriend”? It made him look so weak and stupid. It’s one thing to be polite, but it’s another to completely disrespect your partner by staying silent and letting things slide. That was such a huge turn-off for me.

Overall, the plot was boring, the resolutions were lazy, and the characters made decisions that felt completely unrealistic. The only saving grace was Mook’s visuals and charm, but even that wasn’t enough to keep me hooked. Honestly, Oh My Boss won’t be on my rewatch list anytime soon. It’s the kind of show that looks good on the surface but completely falls apart once you pay attention to the story.
