I have started this drama but after just 4 episodes. I just can't watch this drama, it's too cringey. All the…
Given the premise is "the FL is impossibly rich, in an arranged marriage, and the ML is the snazziest idol singer in existence, and they are college deskmates because that was the only spot left", I'm not sure what kind of realism you expect from it.
Does Gu Nanxi like Situ Feng? I'm just rewatching this show and at the end of Episode 15 he says, "Qingqing, don't…
No, no. Gu Nanxi likes the FL (first as Qingchen and later also as Qingqing), but is crushed that out of loyalty to his lifelong best friend, he has to refrain from doing anything about it.
He's often the third wheel, for example with setting up the fireworks.
What was that ending..... What happened to her grandfather? Or his company, who's taking over that? And what about…
It's extremely rushed, yes. There is a short bit about the grandfather formally setting her free, afterwards his health condition is never mentioned again, and after the timeskip the grandfather sends the FL's old best friend (who is SML's new love interest just to wrap things up even more), so it's implied he is still alive and fine.
The exposing guy was her original arranged fiancee and is never mentioned again / not relevant. The issue of who runs the company is not addressed.
Unfinished threads are "excused" with the FL giving some silly speech that they're just halting the story there, when presenting her comic at the very end.
Sometimes it's quite funny, the FL's dual role is sufficiently charming, and the frequent songs don't hurt either.
Acting, production and sound aren't great. There's more than enough plot holes and scenes that serve no purpose. Unfortunately the whole middle of the show is full of filler scenes, and towards the end the writing goes into some really absurd directions. While it's not that bad early on, one episode near the end is almost entirely made of adverts. As is common in CN dramas, the audio dubbing is very noticeable and sometimes quite bad.
P.S.: I've seen shows that have cliffhangers meant to make you tune in for some revelation every single episode. I've seen shows that just stop between scenes and don't try to fake excitement. But I've never seen a show where plenty of episodes just stop like it's in the middle of somebody's sentence.
Does anyone know why its leaving Netfix? :(( Does this mean it's not going to be watchable anywhere?
Netflix has to pay (and keep paying!) for all the content they offer, which is why as things are added, others are removed. They often come back too, for example Angel's Last Mission Love, Oh My Venus or Flower Of Evil all were previously removed and came back in the years after.
Outside of that there's always the less legal means, as in free streaming pages or classic downloads.
This was in the top 20% or even top 10% of funniest comedy I've seen from Korea. The ML is a sound director and fittingly 95% of the time the sounds are perfectly dandy – there are none of those annoying bird/dog/horse/sheep/cow noises that other K-dramas use to try to mask that their jokes aren't funny to begin with. Loved that there were some truly crazy-in-a-good-way characters in this. Crazy Love from 2022 is all false advertisement, but this show delivers.
Neutral: Compared to other shows I found it refreshing that pretty much none of the episodes end in a "tune in next time!" cliffhanger.
Cons would be the drawn out melodramatic parts that I mostly didn't buy, some characters that are hard to bear or pointless, and an above-average amount of in-your-face product placement. The OSTs got very repetitive for me. Instead of trying for tearjerky things, I'd have preferred the show to throw more funnies at me.
In some ways (breaking K-drama stereotypes, pretty honest relationship between leads, characters healing/growing/learning) it's like a lesser cousin of It's Okay, That's Love, and much like there, the first episode of Another Miss Oh is just bad. Persevere!

I've never skipped or fast-forwarded a drama before, but for those that do, my candidates to avoid are: – ML's mother – SFL – SML (he's okay when angry though) – all high-school flashbacks – all crying scenes related to FL's cancelled wedding (FL's family is only okay in comedy scenes)
The SFL did nothing wrong, why should there be revenge/punishment?
The only villains are the ML's mother and her not-quite-husband, the wealthy chairman. ML more or less intentionally ruins their wedding, and the guy later on loses an insubstantial amount of money. The SFL is not a villain because she is just an actually-insecure girl who has her wedding ruined by ML's mother: as the show spells out explicitly, a smart wife would mean ML's mother might not be able to milk him for money until the end of time. SFL is semi-complicit in school bullying, and out of jealousy hides a love letter for FL from her for some 13 years, but there is really very little fault with her.
Another villain is the "rat" that takes over SML's company, but that one is not really related to the leads, besides being indirectly responsible for the fated(!) failure of FL's first marriage.
Quickly becomes a non-stop Yakult advert with some HP product placement here and there.
(There's four different beverages that are peppered throughout the majority of scenes. Yakult is actually only one of them.)
The other two are just thrown at you in the last episode.

The first time he appears is as a stereotypical gay guy.
