Continuing from my last review I wrote for episode 2, I honestly still think that this drama is a little to predictable in certain points, a lot of them, maybe because I've watched a few dramas like this one, not the same main plot exactly, but with the one where a the main lead is the from of a reach family who handles a heavy burden for being obligated by his grandmother (the chairwoman) to take the family's company and being stimulated to accept an arranged marriage. Something is quite different here as for Young Ho accepts the marriage without a problem, but we all know how this will turn out along the way when he ends up falling for Joo Eun. Oh, Woo Sik finds out our Young Ho is the chairwoman's grandson and is torn between contacting Joo Eun about it, ends up not doing... For now, I believe. As I could see he feels guilty for leaving Joo Eun for Soo Jin, somehow, I guess... Anyhow, the screenwriters just want us to sympathize with the villains for now, they're trying to pull the right strings for this to happen, but, let's face it, Soo Jin assumed she's a freaking b**ch while Woo Sik assumed out loud he's a bastard, so why bother cursing them when they know themselves better?

Oh, I almost forgot about Joo Eun's stalker, I didn't mention before and that makes me kind of curious if they'll finish this soon or carry on with this stalker thing and for how long... I'm curious about this, let's not forget about Joo Sung and Henry's character, Ji Woong. Joo Sung is adorable, at least, I think so, he's definitely adorable, my attention goes towards him every time he appears and I hope I can get to see him often from now on, I get myself looking for him on the screen every now and then - when's he's on the scene; and Ji Woong... He makes me smile every time, I keep imagining what'd be if Ji Woong felt something forJoo Eun, my mind is twisted like that. I'm not a huge Henry fan, actually, if I make an SJ list of bias he'd come last every time, not that I dislike him, no way, it's just, I never got really interested in him, but watching this drama definitely made me get some interest on him, better saying, his character, I thought I wouldn't see him after the first two episodes, so I'm happy and relieved to see that he'd be around more, he's a good comic relief and, sometimes, makes me cringe a little, but I can't say that I don't like it.
Anyway, "Oh, my Venus!" is picking up the pace, finally relieved to see that, probably this episode being so laid back means that there's bullsh*t coming along the way... Soon. It's a drama after all, I must get my poor heart ready. (whispers: heeelp! Save me! Anyone? Joo Sung?! --- )

I know I'm not overreacting, that dinner scene with Choi Hye Ran that Young Ho couldn't go to proved that, another enemy who wants the YoungHo's place and attention, I'm having headaches just by thinking of it, really. Once again, this part of the plot is quite predictable, I hope I'm wrong at this. Let me have my hopes up a little. Seeing that Young Ho revealed so soon and easily that the alias John Kim is actually him, something that I didn't really expected kind of makes me have high hopes, but I don't wanna overdo it even though I'm hearing such amazing things about this drama. I have to cheer up and watch it.

One way or another, being it by the comic relief or whatever other facts, I'm really loving this drama, mostly by one thing Shin Min Ah got out from her comfort zone a bit with this drama and yet is doing an amazing job, I couldn't expect less, I can't believe that the person I'm seeing on the screen is actually Minah, I'm proud indeed, also Ji Sub, he's another one, his character, Young Ho, John Kim, or however you prefer to call it is also different from his usual characters in most ways, his antics are something I watch closely is interesting to see it, so I'll keep my eyes wide open from now on. Now, I finally call it as finished, this review, hoping that the next episodes will turn out not so much predictable as well as the story.
