Venus is the boss <3

The love story between the trainer and his mentee begins somewhere during training sessions and coincidental meetings in private time. The scenes with the main characters are cute but not overly too sweet. The focues very much on Kang's obesity and the diseases it caused, as well as on Kim's continued recovery from childhood trauma. Both characters show that you must fight for health and not give up. I felt in love with them becuae of that. Their stubbornness, openness and determination could convince many to exercise - they did convince me!😆 - but not necessarily the sterile and tasteless diet that John Kim follows 😒

All the supporting characters, Jang Joon-sung, Kim Ji-woong, Oh Soo-jin and Im Woo-shik, are very diverse and bring freshness to the show and make it more multi-dimensional. They refer to the problems of violence, the happiness that can be achieved in meeting the right people and brotherly love.

The series is not perfect. A few stories could be better presented or explained in more depth like the backgroung of Kim Ji-Woong which remains the great unknown. Despite those flaws, this kdrama is very pleasant and positive to watch! 👌

Healthy Partnership vs. Conditional Love

Many People miss the point of this drama. The drama isnt about judging the MC and her weight, its about a Healthy Partnership vs. Conditional Love.

In high school, MC was a beautiful slim girl and known for ehr beauty. But 15 years later, she has gained a lot of weight and become "overweight".

How she gained weight is totally relatable, as ive been in her exact situation too. The stress of everyday life: work, relationships and much more leading to stress eating. Ive struggled with it too and still do. And with MC, she would eat her stress away, which after years and years led to her gaining weight.

NOW, THIS IS WHAT THE DRAMA IS ACTUALLY ABOUT:

Her boyfriend has been together with her since high school and fell for the pretty her. As she gained weight, he grew resentment towards her and the way she looked. And this is where the drama conveys the differences of Healthy Partnership vs. Conditional Love:

Her boyfriend loves MC conditionally. He was always sweet to her and stayed with her, but he would treat her bad because quietly he had started resenting her for the way she looks. He only loved her when she would look good and fulfill his expectations of her.

Enter the ML, which is supposed to be the opposite of the boyfriend, who shows unconditional love towards her. Instead of being mean and passive aggressive to her, he treats her like a normal person and loves her for her personality and who she is as a person. He points out her overweight issues, but not because her aesthetic bothers him, but because he is genuinely worried about her health, as her diet was like 90% sweets and she wasnt active. Instead of telling her off though, he tells her she should change her lifestyle for the sake of her health BUT together. He will go in the trenches with her: Same diets, cook together, work out together, live healthy together. Its a GENUINE PARTNERSHIP. And even if she is overweight, he likes her because she is who she is.

Realising the show is about this contrast of how a healthy and unhealthy relationship handle change (and its not necessarily about weight, you can insert/think of any change that can happen in a relationship here. The show just used weight as its subject to deliver the message, but its universal.) made me appreciate the show a lot and im sure it will help a lot of people navigate their own relationships and their problems better.

Love this show!

This drama has been in my "to watch" list for a very long time. For this time of year, I wanted a cute and fresh romance drama to enjoy after long days of work. From the get-go, this drama did meet my expectations of an easy-to-watch TV show. I loved the story and characters, they were all very unique. The beginning was a lot more promising and interesting though, it did seem like the directors of Oh My Venus ran out of ideas and created those last "filler" episodes. Everything would seem enjoyable, but I was missing something more dramatic in the storyline. As for the actors, Shin Min Ah will forever be one of my fashion and beauty icons - I admired her character so much in this drama. The lead couple did have some great chemistry too. In addition, take a minute to appreciate the 3 male bromance in this drama - they're adorable! So, without anything much to say, this is your average romcom Kdrama. It was fun, cute, entertaining and enjoyable.

Watch this for the beautiful well portrayed romance, but if you're looking for an intricate plot you won't find that, the main point of the show is the couple and their explosive chemistry (they're such an otp!).

This is a well executed romcom with some sad parts but nothing too depressing.

I liked how the show promoted being healthy and the most important beauty is the beauty of being healthy inside.

There was a lot of enjoyable romance scenes which were not too cheesy or cringy. There was no annoying love triangle.

The side couple may seem like bad people at first but you'll like them at the end.

The relationship between the three guys was really cute and bromantic.

There were some things I didn't like of course, like when she found out that he was a chaebol and got mad at him for no comprehensive reason or how he didn't want to see her or communicate with her the whole year he was in the hospital and getting treatment, also the last episode was kinda weird and the ending felt a bit rushed but I could overlook that and enjoy the overall show.

So Ji Sub is my favorite! As an avid fan I finally got a chance to see him in a more romantic role. Kim Young Ho falling in love with Kang Joo Eun flowed naturally without the angst we are accustomed to in a kdrama. I liked the subtle ways his character showed his emotions. Despite being the total package in a male lead (chaebol, handsome etc.) he showed none of the expected arrogance in securing Kang Joo Eun's heart. It was a nice touch that he seemed insecure about her past relationship of 15 years with her first love.
I would have to agree with other viewers about the number of flashbacks in this drama. At some point I found myself thinking "yes we know", LOL My favorite drama of 2016 so far.

SOS

This is a nice mature romantic comedy. The 2 leads have sparkling chemistry and ping off each other as all great comedic pairings should! She's strong & feisty, he's sexy with a disability. Not the usual in Kdramas, here male & female are equals.
It's so great that Hyperthyroidism is addressed in the show, as a fellow sufferer I can relate. Mr Sexy...SOS!!!
I can tell this series is written by a woman as there is a lot of wish fulfillment going on!
This series could have gone up to 12 episodes & worked. The last 3 eps are fluffy filler not much going on and waaaay too many flashbacks. The OST is top-notch! I'm loving that ringtone very catchy! There are some genuine LOL moments, more at the beginning. But ooh this pairing is too cute & funny.

The very definition of a romantic comedy

I loved this drama so much. The female lead was endearing, the male lead's charm.was devastating and the group of friends is extremely funny.

What I liked about the couple was that they didn't act like in most shows with unnecessary drama : they were adults that knew what they wanted. I had fun watching this masterpiece and I rewatched twice since.

The only episode i didnt like was the one in which coachenim is away.

I strongly recommend this, for all my beautiful ladies

If you are a fan of romantic comedies you have to watch "Oh My Venus" just for the main love story alone. They are so cute together, it will make you squeal and swoon. This was on my plan to watch list forever and put off watching it just because the plot sounds cliche and silly and it is. They didn't do a great job with depicting side plot and conflicts. Many of the side characters' relationships and motives were confusing and not fully fleshed out. There was lots of filler scenes especially towards the end, but all that almost doesn't matter. What the writers and actors got right was the romantic relationship which is really the heart of it. The negatives don't detract that much from the pleasure of this drama for me because the plot contrivances don't last too long or cause too much unnecessary angst. There is a favorable balance of the good versus the bad in terms of screen time.

The 2 main leads carried this drama. I liked So Ji Sub in "Master's Son" but I LOVED!! his character in this drama. I don't think a personality like him exists in real life, but I guess that's why I am thankful for dramas. His character Kim Yeong Ho is the capable and tough protector that those close to him all depend on. But he also shows a vulnerable and sexy side and an unwavering devotion to the woman he falls for. I really liked Shin Min Ah as Joo Eun too. Her character is bright and cute and is a good match for Yeong Ho. Their relationship is reciprocal and caring and you can feel why they love each other. Together they elevate an uneven and cliche-ridden plot making this one of the more pleasurable and easy to watch shows I've seen. This caused me lots of missed sleep this week. I easily watched the whole thing in 4 days.

I really liked this drama, I think Shin Min-a is soo pretty! And portrayed the person Kang Joo-eun really well ! -

I think both the actors So Ji-sub & Shin Min-a had such good chemistry together, and I loved how they both just helped each other through everything!

But, I did think Yoo In-young in the show was sooo skinny! I don't know why but she was such a evil character but I think she was a bit too skinny!

I loved Henry Lau & Sung Hoon! They both made the show really funny. the side, wingmen always helping out in whatever way!

9 Don't be tight with the reviews ?

I was reluctant to watch this as I always go off the ratings to find something "at least as good as the previous one".
I have to say this is a full 9 for me.
The story is original, yes there are stereotypes but it's different from the other dramas in many ways. I don't find the parallel plots annoying, everything flows nicely and it is enjoyable to follow. I just struggled a bit with all the relatives like who's the brother who's the uncle, the nephew.. but that's my issue 😂
The chemistry is well conveyed, shih min-a is really good and so ji-sub a pleasant discovery! The side "friend' characters are funny and entertaining. The moral and the messages are strong, obviously if you take into account that we are still talking about Korean culture. But the end scene with here having regained the weight seems to want to put health before aesthetics. And also the fact that su jin is not happy after losing weight is an important warning message.

Oh My Venus is so precious! It was cute, humorous, and the romance was sooooooo adorable and SEXY. Some of the episodes towards the end were total cry-worthy scenes that tore my heart out. Overall, the drama had a truly light feel and good moral messages. The only thing that I didn't love about Oh My Venus (though, it was totally redeemed with it's overall quality and other characters) was the second female lead...she was insecure and vindictive for a reason a reason I personally couldn't justifying holding said grudge for so long. I, myself, struggle with my weight (have struggled all my life, actually) and I just feel that if you were that sweet in nature prior to the weight loss, the character change after loosing the weight was unrealistic and unnecessary.

Also, I really loved that the weight loss achieved by Joo Eun was realistic, reasonable, and done for health reasons, not vanity or vengeance. I think it really delivered a great message. Especially since her weight issues derived from medical issues and lifestyle habits, not out of pure laziness (which is something people may say to overweight individuals without knowing the entire situation or considering other factors).

I would recommend it to anyone who wants a light drama, with good laughs ("hey ma'am!"), sweet moral lessons, an amazing OST, and a steamy romance. AND I would absolutely watch again. I actually find myself watching clips from it often because it was so entertaining.
