Your review leads me to really consider if I'll give this show a watch yes or no, because of Jung Kyung. I never…
I watched FFI and gave it a 7.5.
I gave OMHE a 9.
I liked OMHE a lot more overall while i found FFI rather boring at times and the romance was lacking in my opinion.
Both dramas are rom-coms. FFI is more classic romance blended with a melo backstory. OMHE had several stories and focused more on the main story and the love triangle.
Jung Kyung Ho was my favourite thing in both of them. I won't say that the 2 dramas are comparable other than both of them being rom coms, but i do believe OMHE is worth checking out. You might not like it as much as me, but it's not bad at all.
Ok, just to set some things straight. The overwhelming amount of hateful comments here will probably scare people off, and while i do agree that this is boring (sometimes overly boring) and i don't see myself giving it anything higher than a 7, it is really enjoyable, funny, light-hearted and feel-good.
No, it doesn't have that big of a plot, or backstory and it isn't dramatic at all. It focuses heavily on comedy and cuteness while it is also high on romance but not in the usual kdrama way (rich guy x poor girl / arrogant male x girl in need / flower boy x super hot lady) but in a more mature way which doesn't appeal to us. People who want to spend a few hours having fun, laughing and smiling without thinking much, i think will really enjoy this immensely. One man's trash is another man's treasure!
Bonus: you get to see Kim Hee Ae's goddess legs a lot! :D
I hope Jin Myung gets a job she wants, becomes super rich, marries that chef or whoever the fuck she wants and becomes happy for life! She deserves at least this much!! :'(
Funny story: I am watching ep4 and my niece walks in the room (she's 16).
-What are you watching?
-A kdrama
-Oh, it looks good
-How old do you think she is?
-Who her? 25? 23? mid 20s.
-She's 49
-WHAT? NO! I'm not gonna sit here and watch a 50 year old who is hotter than i'll ever be *walks out of the room*
Ugh, you're making me wanna pick it up again. I dropped it around episode 16, too boring and slow for me, no matter how much i loved the story and the cast.
Okay I have to say I love this drama, I love how the production team wasn't afraid to talk about topics which…
Every person/character has a trauma/psychological problem. Yina's lovers are more important because they are the consequenses of her problems. She hates herself, and she keeps searching for ways to feel re-assured about herself and feel loved even for a little while. Her lovers do that.
On the other hand EunJae's problem is that she is shy and she can't stand up for herself. A love triangle serves no real purpose other than complicate her story to make it interesting.
I counted all the personal screen time the girls had outside of the house. I only counted the scenes that they were alone and the scenes that helped us get to know them.
Ep 1 (EunJae’s main ep – her scenes, scenes in the house and scenes that aren’t related to their personal story are not counted)
Ye Eun: 24 seconds
Jin Myung: 25 sec
Yina: 20 sec
Ji won: -
This episode featured Eunjae almost solely. The other girls get almost no screen time alone.
Ep 2 (Ye Eun’s main ep)
EunJae: 1 minute 12 seconds
Jin Myung: 2 minutes 49 seconds
Yina: 4 minutes 57 seconds
Ji won: 2 minutes 23 seconds
This episode featured less Eunjae but she got a lot of screen time as she was constantly with Yeeun talking about the rest of the girls.
Ep 3 (Yina’s Main ep)
Eunjae: 8 minutes 30 seconds
Yeeun: 2 minutes 20 seconds
JinMyung: 6 minutes 44 seconds
Jiwon: 5 minutes 30 seconds
The scenes of Eunjae and Jiwon together are counted towards Eunjae as they helped only Eunjae, Jiwon was there for the laughs.
Ep 4 (Jin Myung’s Main ep)
Eunjae: 1minute 40 seconds
Yeeun: 2 minutes
Yina: 4 minutes 4 seconds
Ji Won: -
This episode again had no Ji Won, she was only seen with the rest of the girls chatting/gossiping about Jin Myung and in the house while interviewing for a new housemate.
Overall screen time in non-centric episodes
Eunjae: 11 minutes 12 seconds
Yeeun: 4 minutes 44 seconds
Yina: 9 minutes 24 seconds
Jin Myung: 9 minutes 58 seconds
Ji Won: 4 minutes 54 seconds
The air time outiside their main stories seems pretty fair to me, moreor less. If we count in the minutes we get to see the girls together all actresses get a fair amount of screen time.
Thank you :') *hugs*
This sounds great. I'm ready for another infidelity concept drama. Kdramaland always delivers all the feels in these dramas! :D
The subs have grammar problems and sometimes aren't timed perfectly but they make sense xD.
Lee Seo Jin fans *high 5*

I'm still laughing XD
It all comes down to personal preferences, not gender ones.
Yina's story development though >>>>>>>
*shocked*
Maybe i should retry it at some point.
