Unsettling feelings!!!
Oh my god I don't know how to start.if you haven't watched this drama and you are reading this review. Let me guide you how to watch it.
First go to some website, read the plot of 1 to 12 episodes at least, and make sure you wanna watch it. Don't go for the details. Read it just to familiaries with the characters and story.
And then start to watch it from ep 13. DO NOT WATCH IT FROM EP 1. Because it is so frustrating and disappointing to watch it from the beginning.
The actors are great of a choice. They made it so real and so good so that we will come to hate the characters. I mean how can someone create these kinda characters.
The FL is too pathetic. Without self respect. I hate that character towards the end. There wasn't a single point where I could feel connected to or emapathetic towards her. There was no justification to any of her actions. It was so frustrating to watch her in the whole series and that's the only... only drawback of this series. it was so disturbing and frustrating just to watch her.
The ML was annoying but understandable considering his situation. One of the good part of the story.
secondary couples were the best part. I enjoyed them. They made me smile. So it was good.
If you are a person who likes to watch pathetic FL dramas. This is for you.

Interesting Premise, slow in some parts
8.5/10 is my rating. This tv drama is also known as Another Miss Oh. This is a 2016 South Korean drama with 18, 60 minute, episodes.Oh Hae-young (Seo Hyun-jin) grew up in the shadow of another girl, who went to the same school, who had the same name. Things finally seem to be going right for her in her adult life when she is on the verge of marrying Han Tae-jin (Lee Jae-yoon) an attractive businessman who is worthy of bragging about. However, the day before their wedding, Tae-jin breaks it off saying some very hurtful things. Park Do-kyung (Eric Mun) is no stranger to heartbreak, his fiance did not show up on the day of their wedding. Do-kyung finds out that Hae-young is going to marry another man, Tae-jin and Do-kyung and his friend formulate plot to ruin the husband to be and stop the marriage. Do-kyun is a successful sound director who supports his brother and his widowed mother. His mother is looking for a wealthy husband who just so happens to have the right connections to help Do-kyung carry out his plot. Only problem is he is breaking up the wedding, and ruining the husband to be, of the wrong Hae-young. Now there are two miserable, jilted, people who fatefully cross paths and find solace in each other. Hae-young does not know Do-kyung, who she is drawn to as if by fate, is the very person who caused her current unhappiness. Can a relationship built over such a deception last? Tae-jin is acquitted and returns to reclaim his intended bride. Will Hae-youngs feelings rekindle? The other "pretty" Hae-young returns and decides she made a mistake and wants Do-kyun back, will her beauty and style win back Do-kyun? Can the "normal" Oh Hae-young step out of the shadow of the other Hae-young and realize her own worth?
Spoiler ? I liked this one but I didn't love it. Some of the posters showed dolls and such so I thought it would be a lot more comedic than it actually was. The characters said things to each other that I cannot imagine anyone saying to someone else and that person still liking them. They also say things about other people and life that is a bit shocking. I really liked the side romance. I also liked the main male lead's sister and his friends. The story was compelling, the romance was sweetly satisfying but there were times, when I felt angry or shocked at things the characters said or did. I also found that it dragged a bit for me, in some areas. And her mom was strangely abusive to her daughter. it was good but I didn't think it was great. Totally worth watching but not a list topper.

This drama has now become my NUMBER 1 FAVORITE OF ALL. It's original, it keeps you guessing, it touches your heart, it makes you laugh, it makes you fall in love, makes your heart break, it's just a freakin' good drama!
The characters, main and supporting were perfectly written and perfectly portrayed by the actors. I can relate so much to Oh Hae Young who's just all in when she's in love because I'm just as crazy when I was in love.
This drama moved me so much and I have not been so affected like this by a drama in such a long time.
If you like to dramas that make you swoon, angry, and cry. This is for you and you won't regret it. By end of ep1, you will be hooked!

Such a glorious angsty relationship. Love it when the ML is not the typical flowerboy. Takes the past connection trope and twists it upside down. Loved the 2nd ML (esp. with exposed forehead). The hospital scene at the end of ep. 13 was brilliant, and so was the message at the end. I'm sure CLOY had at least three references to this drama, which was a great way for the writer to show her appreciation (e.g. the Rat's new profession at the end). I just wish the FL wasn't so over the top though. It made her much less relatable. Was this review helpful to you?
STORY:
Reading the summary of the show first made me very skeptical of this drama, so going in, I was pretty critical. As the episodes progressed, I realized just how charming this drama was! I loved the chemistry between all three couples in the show, each for different reasons. Do Kyeong and Hae Yeong were a really loving, forever couple who made me feel as if as if all love ends happily. Soo Kyeong and Jin Sang are a mature couple who may seem as if they won't last, but overall, you can't stop rooting for them to be happy. Hoon and Anna are that first puppy love couple who make you either want to make you want to roll your eyes or "awwww" over. Overall, I was delighted with each's story and growth.
Hands down, my favorite part of the entire show was the relationship between Hae Young and her mother. I instantly fell in love with Duk Yi for her overbearing protection over her daughter. I think it's rare to see mother's who come off as stoic and cold, but are really caring and have nothing but the deepest love for there children, so seeing such a character on screen was refreshing. And I absolutely adored Duk Yi's explanation of her feelings towards Hae Young in episode 16. It reminded me of my own love-hate relationship with my mother and caused me to tear up a bit.
The story and pacing overall seemed to drag on a bit and they are the main reason why I'm not giving the story a 10 :/.
ACTING/CAST:
Other than Kim Mi Kyung and Lee Jae Yoon, I was completely unfamiliar with the entire cast, and yet everyone shined! I really don't know how to get into detail each person individually, but overall, every character in the drama fit so perfectly in their roles.
MUSIC AND REWATCH VALUE:
I enjoyed a few of the songs, but most I couldn't stomach after having to hear them play over and over again.
Because the drama seemed to lag on for so long, it's hard for me to see myself rewatching this again. But because of my love for the story and characters, I feel that I will find myself cuddled up in bed, late at night, during a long weekend rewatching it.
OVERALL:
Overall, Another Miss Oh is a delightfully charming drama and I hope that I can find such charm in many more dramas to come.

Extremely funny
Came to watch it bcos of I Live Alone tv show. And LOVED it, I laughed hard and cried too. I wasn’t a fan with none of the main casts but turned out they didn’t disappoint. LOVED THE MANY KISS SCENES hahahah very natural making the romance believable, I don’t like the awkward lip-locking-only kind of kiss.And the comedy is so funny but not slap-stick like. Overall I believe this series is slightly underrated, trust me and give this a try until the second episode and guaranteed you’ll be hooked.

The characters were all pretty likable, and mostly acted in none stupid ways. When someone made a dumb decision, I could at least see it from their perspective and understand how they would of come to that conclusion.
I found the main romance to be very delightful. It took awhile, but once they started showing their feelings too each other, it was very heartwarming.
The main problem I had with this drama though, that stopped it from being a 9.5 or even a 10 from me, is that it did a terrible job letting the viewer know when the scene they were watching was a flashback or present day. The timeline in this drama moves so erratically that when a scene changes I always expect it to be like the next day or later that day, but then realizing sometimes that it was something that happened over a year ago. The opposite happened sometimes as well. A scene change and I think they are in the past because the characters are wearing something different or they are talking about something that was never shown, only to find out it was still present day.
I really enjoyed this drama and can understand completely why it is recommended so much.
I highly recommend this drama.

The story of this drama is simple but very it's captivating. The story is written beautifully with consistent pace from the very start although it slows down a bit after episode 11. Twists that have been added to the story make the drama become more intriguing. Moreover, side story of characters other than the leads is inserted with a good proportion. Honestly, the story is perfectly written.
The casts have done great job in playing their roles. Not only the leads, but also the supporting characters. It's really heart wrenching to see the female lead despair as well as the male lead remorse. The other characters, especially main lead's sister and friend are potrayed in a very crazy but suitable way. I highly appreciate the casts
I love all the sountracks of this drama. I listen to all the soundtracks without being tired of them.
I strongly recommend you to watch it.

Refreshingly mature take on the romance K-drama.
I absolutely loved this drama, and thought the way the story progressed and eventually resolved was such a mature, refreshing change from what I have traditionally seen in the romance genre. Even the side/second-lead stories wrap up beautifully, and I love it when side characters and secondary love interests are given agency independent of the main characters and story arcs. You will come to love each of the characters in this drama for who they are as individuals, and I was honestly sad to say goodbye once I reached the end of the series.Conflict is handled very maturely, and it feels like the writers favoured personal growth - however painful - over stereotypical, unearned resolutions. After following the characters' journeys it felt like everybody got the ending that was best for them, NOT the ending that made them happiest, and I will always treasure this series for that. I also really like that the main couple were given the opportunity to grow and learn about each other, as despite the extraordinary circumstances it felt like we were watching a far more realistic love story unfold.
My only real negative with Another Miss Oh is a particular side-couple we meet early on, who are a strange juxtaposition to the rest of the highly mature cast. They have a significant age gap, with the girl being a young teenager and the "boy" being close to thirty, and although I understand they were comic relief I just found the majority of their scenes both uncomfortable and pretty unnecessary.
Other then that, Another Miss Oh is a wonderful drama I'd be very happy to sit through again, due to its fantastic emotional maturity.

Some wise words I heard from this series
?Ep 2: 23.55 01.03.45
Ep 3: 49.20
Ep 6: 58.53
I might not really into this series because I've seen a lot of spoiler out there on the internet (which says that this title is underrated for the good stuff it brought). I had high expectation for that and it is end up ruining my experience of watching. Some comedies aren't my type of humor. And the romance too. I'm sorry I know this is a romcom drama. I just can't handle it. But still, I agree when people says the OST's are the BEST OST.
