FIRST IMPRESSIONS
When I first heard about this drama, I felt curious because I saw some netizens on facebook that they are currently watching it. At first, I told myself that I will not watch an on-going drama after DOTS but as my curiousity goes up, I watched it right away when it was only 6 episodes and I started to marathon it in order to catch up with the latest episodes.
I sensed that this drama was all about fate and love and I thought that this drama is also about mistaken identity or switch identity because of two Oh Hae Youngs but they have really the same name! *shocks*
ON THE CHARACTERS
Eric Mun as Park Do Kyung - I find Do Kyung's character as the typical male lead that does not confess his feelings right away for the female lead though I find his character as a Sound Producer very unique because it is my first time to see the male lead like the type of the job. I love Eric's portrayal as Park Do Kyung, I love him more! It makes me want to watch his previous dramas MY AHJUSSI! <3
Seo Hyun Jin as Just Oh Hae Young - I love her being cool and free spirited woman. The only female lead that I was sentimental and touched by her character, really love her 'till the end. I like Seo Hyun Jin's portrayal as Just Oh Hae Young and she really nailed it! Also looking forward for her dramas.
Jeon Hye Bin as Pretty Oh Hae Young - REALLY PRETTY OH HAE YOUNG <3 Though I am not really hooked on her character because she was popular when she and JOHY when they are in Highschool.
Lee Jae Yoon as Han Tae Jin - I was really annoyed on Tae Jin because of what he did on JOHY >.< He needs to reflect on his conscience on what he did to JOHY and on his company.
JUST OH HAE YOUNG'S PARENTS - FAMILY GOALS! They are your typical parents especially JOHY's Mom that are supportive and at the same time very overprotective but I also felt that they want the best for their daughter. I REALLY LOVE JOHY'S MOM! One of my favorite k-drama land Mom
Kim Ji Seok as Lee Jin Sang - I find his character very funny even though he is a playboy though he is also handsome, I still find him funny xD
Ye Ji Won as Park Soo Kyung/Isadora - I didn't like her character at first because of her moody attitude but as time goes by, I find her character likeable especially when she is with Jin Sang, she is also funny xD
OVERALL PLOT/STORYLINE OF THE DRAMA.
I can say that this drama has also a unique storyline, the only common cliche here on this drama is the love triangle among the characters. The plot twist of this drama is somehow unexpected that it will make you feel nervous of what will happen to the main characters. You can easily get interested on this drama because it's a rom-com drama and I know that everyone loves romantic-comedy drama.
MORAL LESSON OF THE DRAMA
Do not lead on a person if you can't commit him/her 'till the end or do not lead into a person that doesn't have a relation about you. Everything happens for reason, if it does not come to you, there's always behind a reason to it or in other words, if it's meant to be then it will happen it is also fate or destiny. Lastly, live life to the fullest.
10/10. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. MUST-WATCH DRAMA. NOT THAT OVERRATED.

The main actor was so cute about his feelings and when he was embaressed, i really loved his acting!
This drama was amazing from the start till the end! I was crying like a baby in last minutes of the episode thinking that something bad was about to happening ;_;
The music was soo fitting| God, when i heard a french OST here i thought " what!? why?" and then some characters had to talk in french so the others wouldn't know what they were talking about!
You should really give a chance to watch this!

One thing I like about this drama other than the amazing soundtrack and camera work is the play on what happens when you don't explain yourself/the situation properly to those around you.
Let me explain....so both Pretty OHY and Han Tae Jin had something happen that stopped them from marrying their other halves and in my opinion it didn't need to go this far lol. Ok Tae Jin had something major happen to him but instead of explaining to Just OHY and truly thinking about her and giving her the choice to decide whether she wanted to stay or go he left her using a cheap ass line like 'I don't like the way you eat'. POHY's reason for leaving was quite deep but again instead of getting mad at Do Kyung there and then she decides to run off. But what I like about this is that they both come back trying to make amends on the ethos that they were 'doing the right thing at the time' and their exes are having none of it.
The cliché would be that they would explain themselves and fall back in love again but they didn't do it this time and I'm so friggin happy.
The story was quite realistic apart from the villain soon-to-be father in law, but other than that it was quite realistic you definitely felt for Tae Jin and POHY even though at points you didn't really want to.
I love the side characters, the guys that work for Do Kyung and JOHY's clique at work who support her and back her up. I also love Soo Kyung and her story, she brings comedy to an otherwise dreary scene but I love how they have expanded on her character and made her storyline deeper and more realistic, I was definitely shocked by her storyline but it made me love her character even more. JOHY's parents are absolutely delightful, I love the stark comparison between her parents and POHY and Do Kyung's family situation.
I don't really see the need for the 2 episode extension because it could have all been completed in the 16 as one full episode I think 15/16 can't remember was dedicated to gushy showy affection between the two mains which kind of made me uncomfortable (probably cos I'm not that kind of girl lol) but I guess it gave the chance for the side characters to round off their story. I did really enjoy the last episode made you smile whilst watching it.
The soundtrack I really enjoyed not too many songs (its on Spotify) but they all worked in their various situations.
Ooooo another thing I loved is the opening, it was really smartly done and fun to watch I never skipped it lol, which I usually do.

This review may contain spoilers
I personally think this drama is really underrated. It suppose to at least has the rating of 9.5 and above. I am popular with high taste when it comes in choosing and rating a drama. This one cannot even be beaten with the famous new drama, Goblin. To be honest I never wrote a review but the low rating urges me to take a stand and fight ! LOLI wont give you spoilers.
The story: Superb! The writer is genius and it is amazing how you will never want to miss every details in each episode and how the story start to take its place one by one.
Watching this one, you will need to prepare a pillow and tissues as you will turn to a crazy person that will laugh for a five minutes and cry immediately after that and after few minutes you will be feeling angry. They really done a good job in playing with our emotions. Well, my emotions..
The cast? WoWWW!! Literally WOW. The superb story combined with A++ acting from each character in the story would not give any better results. Its the best ! You will start to think you are the lead actor as they able to relate to your emotions.
The music used was catchy and you will start to hum along and will haunt you in daily life even if not watching. LOL
Rewatching would differ for each person as some people like me really hate to watch again on any dramas. But I rewatch this one haha. I joined my friends who currently are watching Ms Oh.
As you can see, my comment started getting shorter and shorter. This is because giving a review is really not my cup of tea but I'll say one last thing., You will regret it if you skip this one. Bye.

The acting was great!
One wish in this show is that if the writers hadn't lagged so much, it got dragged all over the place in a few spots as if the writers were't at the top of their game.
So I recommend it if you are bored. Use it as a filler

To be honest, I admit I wasn't hooked right away, but there's something so addictive and so real about the characters and their relationships Not every single episode was full of super cutesy moments or plot twists...rather than that, the drama has a more natural flow and pacing.
It was slow, but not draggy...it was enjoyable to see how all the cast interacted even though most their personalities were completely different.
Anyways to sum it up, here's my list of reasons why you should watch Another Oh Hae Young:
1. One of the most realistic female leads ever. She goes through so much and still stands her ground.
2. REAL KISSES, not the wide eyed , no lip movement B.S in so many kdramas
3. Awesome Bromance!
4. AMAZING SOUNDTRACK. The music is so DAMN GOOD!
5. A unique love story
6. SUPERB Acting!
7. Lots of character growth!
8. Learn awesome facts on how the sound effects in kdramas, movies and shows are made (It's super cool to watch throughout the drama)
9. Lots of deep conversation and beautiful monologues
10. It's so much fun!
If you're still unsure. Just go youtube some Fan Made Videos and I'm sure you will fall in love.
Anyways, if you haven't watched this yet give it 4 episodes and it will do it's magic. My initial thoughts were "it's alright" but now I realized that I would have missed out on such an amazing drama if I dropped it. It was so good that I forced myself to not watch the last ep until 2 months after because I didn't want it to end Lol.

Hated it with a passion
As we say in the book community, I'm DNFing this one. I just found both lead characters to be very unlikable people and impossible to root for. After 13 episodes, they were both still selfish, self-centered and cowardly, and I couldn't help but find them very toxic together (and it was complete BS to throw some sob-story 3/4 of the way in just to make your character seem a little more sympathetic).For a good chunk I found the older sister to be incredibly annoying , exasperating and ridiculous, but she eventually grew on me. Her and the ex-fiancé were the only characters I liked, but I just couldn't endure over 5 more hours of torture to just get a few glimpses of them and find out how their arcs concluded (I have my guesses, but if anyone feels inclined to comment a few spoilers down below, I won't be mad).
I just honestly can't see how this drama has such a high rating.
