It might well be just that for some but i have seen so many of these and i think what set this one apart was the emotions/acting from the leads. Everyone including the supporting actors delivered their emotions so well i found it hard not to empathise with all of them, needless to say i found myself so conflicted and frustrated with the emotions this drama was bringing out in me. Few dramas do this because i mostly roll my eyes these days at the things writers come up with so for me the fact that this actually stirred me up was a huge plus. I'm always pissed off at the writers of romantic comedies but i was impressed with this one.
I was also surprised at how much i enjoyed the romances not just between the leads but supporting couples. As mentioned, i feel like i've seen it all as far as dramas and nothing excites me but i enjoyed to the point of embarrassment the candid attraction between characters and the kisses actually had me questioning if i was still watching a kdrama. They are not usually that...real??
I don't tend to rewatch romantic comedies unless there's something i'm trying understand as far as the story/plot so that's the only reason i've given this a 5, it's not because i think poorly of it. The OST wasn't memorable either

The most worthless and irrational story among all series in the world
I really could not finish the dramaA few friends finished it, but like me, they were amazed by its irrational story.
How is it possible to write such a story and make a drama out of it and get a high score !!
The whole story is based on the failure of the main role woman's wedding and her hatred of her ex-fiancé for this.
In surprise, she immediately takes refuge and embraces someone, who is the cause of the wedding failure and the imprisonment of his ex-fiancé.
Begging For Love and excessive humiliation of main role woman.
And worst of all, the common hatred between the two, the main role man and woman of the story, from the former fiancé, even after the truth of the matter is known.
And even more ridiculous is that the main role man even mistakenly accused and imprisoned the former fiancé and ruined his marriage.
The main role man has no regrets and considers himself right
And the former fiancé was introduced as a monster, who deserves to die.
Because he told the main role woman that he hates her eating !!! :)))))
It is good that the author did not execute him, maybe she wanted to.
But the one who committed all the sins ......
The most worthless and irrational story among all Korean or American series and movies and so on
Again, where has reason and logic gone !!!
--------------------------------- The following section has been added ---------------------------------------------
The ML personally asked his stepfather not to invest in the second ML work exactly the day before the wedding✅
ML did this To take revenge on her fiancé. But what is the guilt of the second ML?
ML inflicted torment on the second ML. The torment that he himself had endured✅
ML never apologized to the second ML.
Even more interesting hit him with the car.
ML just said sorry to the FL. Even the FL said, only this.
And ML said, what do you want me to do?✅
with Seeing the misery and unhappiness of FL and his family up close And the Imprisonment of the second ML in prison, ML did nothing to make up for his mistake, Even He stole the second ML wife. He could tell the truth, Or at least he could have indicated that the second ML was in financial trouble✅
If we say that his business partner was corrupt, this has nothing to do with the second ML, Or if we say that the stepfather was a problem for the second ML in any case. It is like saying, for example, a murderer kills someone. And Interpret it this way that, In any case, every man must die one day. And ignore the guilt of the killer.✅
The most important point is that the ML never did anything to make up for his mistake until the end of the Drama.✅
We should not accept everything the media tells us. When the devil shows as an angel and evil as a good. At least we should know. These high scores, which have reached 20,000 so far, are very worrying.
Korean women writers are really professional, but both in this series and in other series, they analyze issues very irrationally.
Maybe it's because their only focus is on showing romance between a man and a woman at any cost to attract the viewer.✅

Another Miss Oh definitely was a surprise drama of the year. When I first read the synopsis it sounded like a hot mess. When the updates came in from other friends who decided to watch this one, I picked My Beautiful Gong Shim instead, they claimed it was amazing surprise that surpassed most of the dramas this year. After caving (and being disappointed by my Beautiful Gong Shim in the later episodes) I soon found they were totally right! Another Miss Oh is a unique and wonderful find.
There's a lot going on here. Tons of ideas and concepts used and explored. Yet the writer masterfully introduces and utilizes them. The crazy idea of Park Do Kyeong being able to see glimpses into the future transforms into one of the most beautiful love stories I've been able to enjoy in a drama. The whole idea that he ruined Oh Hae Yeong #1's current life because of mistaken idintity was even handled well. Having the same name as someone else even turned into an amazing story of self love and being happy with who and what you have. There's so many amazing elements that I can't cover them all, and I don't want to spoil them.
The side characters and stories were also fabulous. Oh Hae Yeong #1's parents where epic! Instead of being this cold or cruel things, or just parent figures for the sake of parent figures they were real people. I loved seeing the echoes of Park Do Kyeong and Oh Hae Yeong in her parents relationship. The idea that Oh Hae Yeong did pick someone like her dad was epic. The scene where her parents take her to karaoke to help her heal was funny, moving, and one of the best drama scenes ever.
Park Do Kyeong and Oh Hae Yeong aren't the only quirky romance going on. There's two more that I absolutely loved and I won't spoil anything. Just be aware it's there and it's awesome.
Oh Hae Yeong #1 is a complex lead and while she seems like the standard clumsy girl you soon find yourself realating to her and completely becoming wrapped up in her. She's fearless and even after being beaten down by love she fearlessly goes all in again. Despite doubts, fears, and reasons not to she choses to go all in. Because she never wants to say that she had regrets.
So the must noisy girl about love finds herself falling in love with Park Do Kyeong. A man who isn't in touch with his emotions, has super amounts of pride, and is quite the quiet one. Who better to awaken his emotions and realizing how much of his life he'd regret then her? Hmmmmmm?
Their love is beautiful and in the end fearless. Even with others opinions frowning down upon them they remain brave.
That said I did have some issues with the drama. First is that no one even mentions that Oh Hae Yeong is pretty much a drunk. I was really bored with how the first half of the drama kept showing her drunk and that the other characters were aware that she gets that way even when she isn't being dumped/miserable. That was probably why I felt disconnected despite all the amazing character building. I'm not someone who likes to get drunk and I don't care to watch drunks. Especially as getting drunk resulted in her doing things that made her miserable. When she quits drinking because she finds happiness I'm pretty sure her amount of alcohol consumption would lead to alcohol withdrawals. (It needed to be said.) I do give points to the writer for emphasizing that you are the biggest factor in staying miserable and sad. No matter what happens you can always be reborn again and move on.
Secondly was the pacing. So we spend a lot of time with drunken Oh Hae Yeong, lots of dramatic crying, staring/longing/dramatic moments of contemplation. There was one scene where we just watched Oh Hae Yeong watch the train leave the station over and over again. These moments felt like a waste as they lost their impact due to boredom and it took away from developing the story! No really I think it would have been good to use that time to let the side characters/stories shine more!
About episode 11ish I felt a shift in the drama, like the writer suddenly decided to add some new elements. It soon became almost like a dedication to someone. A bigger idea and you really have to pay close attention to catch and realize that it was there the whole time.
The music and cinematography were amazing. Considering that Park Do Kyeong works in sound production for movies I believe that having an amazing OST was very key for this drama. Well it is one of my top OSTs for the year! The sound team on Another Miss Oh did such a wonderful job that everything made a bigger impact by what music was playing. Even if you thought it wouldn't have worked it did.
Rewatch? Well I know I really want to see this crazy cast again! The slow bits make me a little leery and I really disliked how stupid OH Hae Yeong was drunk. I think way down the line after many years I'd want to revisit this unique drama. For now I'll just watch my favorite parts only.
Despite all the fabulously crazy ways it gets to it the message of Another Miss Oh is of finding happiness, never living with regret, saying what you wanna say, and that every action will have a reaction. I firmly believe that this breaks down many stereotypes of dramas! From side characters, to how female leads should be, cold male leads aren't that simple, parents are people too, and so on! Another Miss Oh should not be missed.

Underrated Gem!
I first saw Seo Hyeon Jin in Dr. Romantic. Didn't exactly like or dislike her there. Just so-so for me. This changed when I watched the Beauty Inside. I loved her acting. It was so effortless!When my sister recommended Another Miss Oh, I decided to try it. It is turning out to be another gem of a drama. Just the right amount of comedy, laughs, romance, tear jerking dialogues.
The storyline for me, was unique. Have never seen one similar to it. I could feel her heartbreaks, trials, having to go through difficult times just because she was mistaken for the girl with the same name.
The stories of the other characters were something I could do without though. I kept skipping through them.
Back to the leads. It was my first time to watch a drama with Eric Mun. I have never seen or heard of him before so it took some time to get used to him. I actually found him not a typical Kdrama lead. Maybe his looks? But he grew on me eventually.
One thing I have found in the dramas that I like, is that Korean actors and actresses are really GOOD! You can pair them with almost anyone and more often than not, the chemistry is there. Their love stories turn out to be so believable that you end up rooting for them to take it from reel to real.
Still have several episodes to go for this, and I can't wait to see what happens next....

It's like watching a horror movie and covering your eyes with your hands and peeking from time to time.
IT IS A HORROR MOVIE! INCONSISTENT CHARACTERS. MAD AND CRAZY LEADS. I think Tae Jin is the only one who isn't. NOTHING FEELS RIGHT IN THIS DRAMA.

#TeamTaejin
I’m not even finished watching this drama but I feel the need to review. To date, I have just begun ep 12 and am way too emotionally invested in the characters and storyline. Firstly, I absolutely love this drama. At this point, if I see “Studio Dragon” in the opening credits, I know I’m in for a great experience. I have not been disappointed with anything that’s come out of there yet. Secondly, I am Team Taejin all the way. Don’t get me wrong; I like Do-Kyeong but not nearly as much as Taejin. What Do-kyeong did was already foul but once he found out the truth and didn’t tell “ordinary” Oh Hae Young, it became unforgivable. Taejin’s breakdown rage scene in his car was me by the end of ep 11. This drama has my blood pressure UP! I am so over Ordinary Hae Young’s absolute dehydration for attention and expectations of very specific responses from Do-keyong. She’s the kind of person who plays scenarios in her mind and if real life doesn’t go as she planned, she gets mad. I can’t with her. Thirdly, I am not feeling “Pretty” Oh Hae Young or her fan club. Good Lord! Her fan club is so extra. Pretty OHY just needs to let it go! The entire ending of Pretty OHY and Do-kyeong’s relationship is completely messy and both of them are dead wrong with how they handled it. Dead wrong. Both of them. Equally. I said what I said. Lastly, like most dramas, I can predict how this one will end but I just wish it to be otherwise. Time to get back to the show. #TeamTaejin**Post completion edit: **
The leads:
‘Twas a struggle making it to the end of this drama because by episode 14, I was completely over Ordinary Hae Young’s childish and whiny personality. Every 5 minutes, she’s crying over something stupid and her inferiority complex makes her insufferable. Instead of a 32 year old woman, she acts like a 14 year old girl who has her first boyfriend. It’s not cute. I also feel like the marriage business was rushed. Hae Young is way too mentally immature to marry anyone. It got to the point where, the more I hated Hae Young, the more I liked Do-kyeong. Every time I saw her, I scowled, and every time I saw him, I smiled. I hated Hae Young almost as much as the MIL in Something in the Rain.
The others:
I really liked Soo-kyeong and Jin-sang’s relationship until it became rushed after “the night”. It was way too inorganic for my liking. Overall, still a great drama but the last 7 episodes were rough for me.

At first I thought the story was going to be really sad, but that didn't happen at all!
The acting is very good! The leads have so much chemistry... I think Eric did a really good job, because he didn't have a lot of lines, most of his emotions he just have to express by his eyes, that was so intense! Also, all the supporting roles were very funny, specially his noona and his best friend, also Hae Yeong mother - I loved her, and that thing she did with the clothes were sooooo good :'D I am gonna miss this one, totally going to rewatch someday.
The soundtrack is good too, the musics match the moments, howerver, after watching this drama, I never saw movies and tv shows the same way because of the sound effects :D
I think it is very enjoyable, for me it was just lacking a better production. Sometimes the scenes just didn't change smoothly, also the cameras were shaking a few times... But I totally think the story can overcome these.
Give it a try!

It was ok, liked Ugly Ploy more
1. Very lacking in who they had in the lead actor and actress categories2. Watch this before you watch Unlucky Ploy the new version, other wise this one will make you disappointed. They actors and actresses pop more in the 2nd version, just more chemistry.... Felt this was pushed to fast and wanted to bring in up and coming's. Where with Unlucky Ploy they spent more time on casting the right actors.
3. I love the older actors who are in the support roles, they add a strong force to the movies, do to the strength of their acting skills. They really make the shows work.
4. Learning new things in life is what makes the world go around, there is a huge cultural difference between what I am use to in everyday life and what is seen in the Asian Culture. LOOKS and MONEY, play a huge roll in almost all these shows.
5. Until 2018 American Shows where what I watched, now I look to see the who, what, why's and when? Oh lets not forget the HOW? The ones I have seen thus far are very innocent based to an extent, no nudity, no major violence (until last week) most of the time, it leave most things to the imagination.
6. Korean shows have a lot going for them, and have been drawing me in more and more.....
7. Work on the endings, most feel rushed in the last 2 episodes just to get things wrapped up. There is a need to leave them wanting more, or a vision there could be a spin off to more seasons.
