I love "Another Miss Oh" a lot and also enjoyed "My Mister", thank you for your brilliance!
Guys, I know this is irrelevant...but...she wrote Another Miss Oh and the name of the main character is "Oh Hae Young" and this was said to be a common name and she also had this name. And then, the surname of the male lead was "Park" for Park Do Kyung. Well, hello, Park Hae Young writernim, just tell us already if you are Oh Hae Young T-T
This drama perfectly portrayed human emotions -- those depressing, messy, wrecking, joyous, foolish and hopeful emotions. I never expected a romantic comedy to sensitively portrayed those heartaches. The writer fearlessly tackled every serious issues in the drama, she never tried to put a band-aid on every pain that the characters were going through. Everyone healed in the drama or at least in the process of healing and that is the most important part for me.
Everyone, you will not see an ideal and the most healthy relationship here, instead this a story of two people who fought fearlessly and cherished their love and finally attained happiness in the end.
Also, I think something is being pointed out by the writer through its 'peculiar' plot that you cannot blame others for your own decisions. You have your own will and you have to take responsibility for it. Love fully and do not let your pride, shame and embarrassment hold you back. It's better to hurt together than alone, do not let your pride hurt the people you love the most. Fight together with them and be happy together with them.
"Different viewers would have their own takeaways from this drama but personally for me, my interpretation of 'happiness' in this context lies in cherishing what you have amidst the chaos that threatens to take away that which you hold dear, and those whom you so love. For this very reason, this surprising gem became a sort of happy place for me as I began to develop a fondness for the drama and the characters in it, despite the macabre premise."
I agree, for me, the drama was chilling, entertaining but has a heart and human.
Gotta commend this one for its brilliant social commentary! Capitalism, social hierarchy, will power, madness, and choosing to be good despite having the option to succumb to abyss is what happiness is for me. Cried a little tears on the ending, it was good, though, I wanted more, but it was good. I think that this has become a new favorite of mine!
okay so I was looking on post tweets about again my life ending, but...did they really feel the need to address hee woo and hee ah's romance in the ending? like, loooool. I was really low-key shipping him with Hanmi. Screen time, dynamics, chemistry and depth they've got it all.
Same sentiments, I enjoyed this as I definitely did what you also said haha. Watched it on a free time, sit back and enjoyed what it was offering haha.
I actually enjoyed the drama and putting those corrupt prosecutors and people into jail, those parts felt cathartic…
Seriously tho, I didn't like that they need to added another corruption case for a possible season 2 or whatever lol, the editing especially that evil laugh felt off-putting hahaha. But Lee Joon Gi still rocked that ending smirk and look, so I'll give it to him.
I actually enjoyed the drama and putting those corrupt prosecutors and people into jail, those parts felt cathartic to me LOL, because justice seem to be too far to reach in our world, especially in my country, as evil keep on winning.
So, I guess it was still an enjoyable ride albeit not being a memorable one, but it was enjoyable for what it can offer.
What I like was how the things kept on being solved like a well thought-out chess game. A tower that was slowly and efficiently being knock down. But what I didn't like was that the characters felt no depth and their character arcs were not properly explored. They didn't have much agency and felt like pawns in the chess game between Hee Woo and the Cho Tae Sub. I guess this was not the same in the webtoon, so I think what could've been done was to increase the episodes and properly show their motivation and character arcs.
The fight with Cho Tae Sub feels like the last boss fight except that I felt it was a little too easy, but nevertheless, I really liked Director Han's involvement.
I haven't read the webtoon but I've read some bits from the comment section, nevertheless, for my enjoyment over the chess game that Hee Woo setup, I'll give this a solid 8.
all episodes for master planning and then Kim Hee Woo suddenly blew his cover without much thinking.........anyway, I guess it's time for the final showdown
