All the actors did a fabulous job. I honestly had not seen most of them before and was very impressed. From the main characters to the supporting, all portrayed their characters very well.
The music is pretty good. I especially enjoyed the song by The Black Skirts. The soundtrack fit the drama well and stays with you, but it's not anything exceptional.
Overall, for me, this drama captured so much of the ups and downs of love, from the feelings of betrayal, to the embarrassment and pain of not having your feelings return, to the crazy things one does to get over it, to the bliss of being together with nothing and no one else to care about. It made me laugh, it made my heart hurt, it made me want to shake the characters at times. It definitely caught me by surprise and I am really glad I decided to give it a chance. I will probably watch it again in the future.

pushing myself to watch this nonsense
I came to watch this following the excellent reviews i read, BUT honestly i wonder if i was watching the same drama?? The pace is sooo totally boring and nonsensical, and i'm also not a fan of the supernatural element - like having glimpses of the future - and not even done right! The quality of the video sucks, i've seen better movies from the 90's... the image is washed out for memories and also for present times duhh. The plot also gives an outdated vibe.If you can survive past the fourth episode, it might get better... not perfect, but better. Still you have to put up with a lot of nonsense just to be able to realize the power of love - its always abt love, isnt it?
Support cast does a great job, even better than the main flow sometimes.

Seriously. The mood swings, the drinking, the yelling, the crying. It's somewhat exaggerated, yet relatable.
This drama captivated me since the first episode. I loved the chemistry between the main characters, and the side characters really make the story more fun and loveable. Sometimes, the scenes feel a little draggy, and repetitive- but that's the only downside to the drama.
The supernatural component of the drama is what made the drama more interesting for me.
I recommend this drama to anyone who like romance dramas.

I was really excited about this drama and was really enjoying it... But I just couldn't get past the male lead's anger issues. Most of the time he was a very gentle lead, very thoughtful and caring to the female lead. He would get overly aggressive with his younger brother and some of the younger guys on his team, with slapstick hitting and what-not, things that I have come to overlook in dramas. But over all I liked him, he seemed to care a lot about the other characters welfare. BUT then out of nowhere he would have outbursts of anger that were so over the top I just couldn't overlook them... I mean I tried... I really did, but they just got too extreme. At one point he hits a car window (with the female lead inside the car) so hard that he busts the window and cuts up his hand. He gets angry at the second male lead for something SML had said to the female lead and he purposefully crashes his car into SML's car. Then is shown not as the INSANITY that it would be in other dramas ( let alone real life) but as somehow heroic or romantic. Then in one scene (because male lead can see the future) he sees himself and female lead having a physical fight with each other, and then making out, and this seems to turn him on... He later threatens to hit female lead if she doesn't comply with something he is asking of her... and she replies with "Does hitting me get you excited?" as if this idea is a turn on for her as well... This only makes his think about the fight they will have and the makeout... as if yes, indeed hitting her would get him excited.... FINALLY, I had to drop this drama, when we actually see the scene he had scene in his vision, she the female lead gets angry at Male lead for toying with he so much, (which he has been doing) and she starts being pretty violent to him... Hitting him repeatedly, male lead becomes violent back in order to get her to stop hitting him, she ends up with a bloodily lip because of it, he DOES get excited, slams her on the wall and makes out with her. Guys, this is not romantic. This is NOT okay. If this was real life, he would FOR SURE be an abusive partner. I can normally overlook some of the aggressiveness in male leads, especially in older dramas... I know that this is a stylistic and cultural view of masculinity, BUT this is just abuse. If this were any other genre, even in a kdrama, this would be the character that we think might be unhinged or the serial killer... but because it's a rom-com, we are supposed to just see him as passionate. THIS IS NOT PASSION. This is a mane with dangerous anger issues, who needs A LOT of counseling and who doe not need to be dating anyone! Sorry that was a lot, but I had a lot of feelings, thanks!

Considering the makjang premise this show turned out to be a huge surprise. The typical tropes did not really come into play. The secondary love interests didn't cause too many problems & their existence was a meaningful part of the show, which almost never happens with these triangles & squares. I loved the main love line, it was awesome from beginning to end, although at its core it's quite similar to the love story in Goblin. There was an unusual amount of honesty at unexpected times! The 2 secondary couples were also fun to watch, especially the noona + lawyer pairing. The supernatural element was okay too( not great), it did make the show more interesting, especially early on. The pacing of the story was surprisingly good, almost every episode had some melodramatic parts with a good amount of comedic relief in between. The OST was perfect at creating the mood for almost every scene. I usually don't comment on sound quality, when it comes to kdramas, but generally they use budget microphones and there are a lot of pops & clicks that I can clearly hear with my higher end headphone gear. It's nice that in a drama that touches upon sound engineering I can enjoy the sound & music without those usual annoyances. Naturally this drama isn't perfect. The plot has some weaker points, such as the way our MC accepted death, or how pulling the investment has led to jail time, I mean that is pretty outlandish if you think about it. The sound engineering procedural parts looked awesome, but this is not how they do it in real life, they do make the sounds in a similar way with all kinds of props, but the scenes aren't reenacted in real time, but rather if there are 20 seperate sound sources they record those 20 sounds separately & then merge/edit them in post, plus the step sounds are looped, there is no need for sound engineers to run for minutes on end during recording.

The Good
I enjoyed the story- it was hilarious and heartbreaking as many of you probably had that situation where there is always a person better than you in every way. I loved Isadora (soo Kyung) and her hilarious drunken antics- honestly she is a great actress! I loved all of the actors and actresses since all of them were hilarious in their own right. They portrayed their characters so well that it made me fall in love with them even more.
The plot-line will pull at your heartstrings- the pain of wanting to be with someone but you can't will make you tear up. The two main leads have a great chemistry with one another and it will just make you fall in love with their relationship.
The Bad
In all honesty- i feel that the normal Oh Hae Young's acting was quite unrealistic. She fell in love with Do Kyung- but she seriously got onto my nerves when she demanded unrealistic expectations of Do Kyung. I find it irritating whenever she over-exaggerated her emotions. In my opinion, I think it wouldv'e been better if her character wasn't that demanding.
Not to mention the romance was sometimes overly unrealistic- especially when the two main leads get back together after a fight. Honestly- how does a couple go from nearly ripping each other apart back to a love-induced fantasy without any regard to why they broke up in the first place. I felt that Do Kyung's character was faking it a bit too much whenever he got back together with Hae Young after the break up- like his character had a complete 180 degree turn around. Since when did Do Kyung smile and grin so wide that it makes the viewers just think he's a totally different character!? (although i don't mind since he's such a cutie)
Despite my comments, I know that this drama wasn't intended to be realistic, however I thought it would be nice if there was consistency in their emotions but that's just my little excerpt.
Music
Although the music was fantastic and was quite fitting- they kept using the same 5 tracks over and over again as it gets quite repetitive.... on the bright side, at least it sounded great!
Overall I enjoyed this drama quite a lot and perhaps will be visiting this drama once again in the future!

great and heartwarming drama♥
Although this great drama is old (2016) but at the same time it can be said that it is suitable for any time.A drama with a perfect cast of actors, and great acting. She has everything. Romance, a bit of fantasy, although the fantasy in the drama is on the limit of what is possible, a kind of sixth sense), it has comedy, it has the support of a family in the face of family pecking, it has a charming and touching soundtrack (worthy of a playlist), it has healing and recovery, a recommended drama , it was not without reason that it received poor ratings, and the actors won awards for their performance.
And you also learn a thing or two from her, such as how to edit sound behind each movie/series, and how the actors used to look so natural without a huge amount of make-up (something that impressed me the most).
Recommended and heartwarming drama, it is impossible not to rate it 10/10

Just the perfect drama
This is truly a cult classic. The story is intricately woven, scenes are detailed, laugh loud funny, every character is special and acts beautifully and yes - the steamy kisses are dreamy.The details of the sound engineer's job are intricately defined. The office staff despite their small roles are given juicy tidbits and they stand out.
The only extra character that could have been deleted is the mother of the male lead. The mother of the female lead was also given to much unwanted screen time. Gosh - can you let your adult children breathe??
The second couples story is very unique and their acting especially the SML is phenomenal. He really contributes to the overall beauty of this drama. The SFL is also very unique and is wonderful.

I get why some love it and others hate it
Things I loved1 The fresh and original premise. The problem is I thought it would be a comedy and it turned out it was a mix of everything and anything and that irked me in the end.
Things I liked
1 The FL mother. I think she was a great mother even though at first I wanted to smack her.
Things I disliked
1 The FL. I thought at first I would love the actress and the character but little by little I came to dislike both. Sometimes I had the impression the actress was in a trance. Hearing her speaking put me to sleep.
Things I hated
1 The mix of genres that wasn't particularly successful. The sad vibe that was predominant put me off. I didn't expect that and it ruined it for me.
2 The ML actor. Oh God, it's not only that I find him unappealing, it's that his acting was as bad as the acting of the FL if not worse. Every time he spoke or appeared I wanted to shout at him to wake up and behave like a normal person. The "I know I'll die" stupid thing was unnecessary and made the whole series unwatchable. I wonder why I give it a 3. Probably because I think the premise was so unique it deserved it.
3 No chemistry between the leads. It's subjective, I know, but other than both make me feel depressed I didn't see anything that made my heart flutter and think they were meant to be together.

One of the best rom com drama ever.
I watched Another Miss Oh about two years ago and gave it an 8.5/10. Back then, I was so obsessed with the OST that I listened to it for months. A couple of days ago, I saw two reels from the drama on my feed, and suddenly the urge to rewatch hit me. So I started it again—and just 10 minutes ago, I finished it for the second time.When I checked my old rating, I honestly wondered why I rated it so low… because this time, it felt even more perfect.
From the very beginning, the story is beautifully structured—an engaging start, meaningful meetings, a strong emotional bond, conflict that genuinely hurts, and a truly satisfying, perfect ending. Even the number of episodes felt just right. I watched every episode without a single moment of boredom.
The cast? Amazing. Two years ago, I remember starting to watch all the main leads’ other dramas because their acting impressed me so much. And rewatching it now, that feeling hasn’t changed. Not just the leads—every character shines, from Do Kyung’s family to Hae Young’s family and their colleagues.
The music was just as perfect as I remembered. I loved every OST then, and I’m definitely going to start listening to them again now.
Rewatch value: No question—I’m literally writing this after finishing it for the second time.
Overall: You simply cannot miss this drama. If you love rom-coms, you must watch Another Miss Oh at least once in your lifetime.

Most importantly, the reason I watched this drama. The kisses....were...ahmahzing. Like. WHOA. Now I am going to have to rethink all of my favorite K drama kisses. Totally worth the wait on this one guys. The skinship too, was pretty great. I liked this drama a lot and will be reviewing more about it soon on my blog, I am sure.
