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.
