I always enjoy watching a drama were the characters that make decisions on behalf of other people don’t get what they intended.
You know you've got a great heroine when I hate a character just because she does While it’s sad that their loves couldn’t work out, there were exact reasons why those relationships failed. Neither was painted with the ‘villain’ brush, nor were they playing the sympathy card. I also enjoyed the simple way that the ex-lovers were dealt with. Hae Young smiled when she was happy, cried when she was sad, and said she loved someone when she did. In a K-Drama universe that is filled with heroines acting stupidly and unreasonably, it was nice to have a heroine that was so easily understandable. As for our heroine, it was her simplicity that I loved most because it meant I could always understand her. The writers didn’t try to milk these situations for more than they were worth, and that’s always a bonus. Add in his accidental meddling in her marriage and it’s just plain juicy. Throw in his ex-lover who is the source of our leading lady’s insecurities and you have enough conflict to work with. The overall plot was pretty basic- an insecure woman meets an emotionally stunted man and sparks fly. It’s not to say that either was without depth, but we happily avoided having the drama be dragged down by complications that weren’t necessary. Simplicity was one of this drama’s greatest aspects both for its characters and its plot. She was charming in an underrated way and Seo Hyun Ji made us feel every once of emotion that Hae Young felt. And I just adored Seo Hyun Ji as Oh Hae Young. What really sold the show was its leads- both characters and actors.Īlthough Eric might not be one of the greatest actors, he delivered an endearing performance as Park Do Kyung- expressing the loneliness and guarded nature of Do Kyung’s heart, even when we weren’t explicitly shown why he became that way.
#Another oh hae young series
While I do wish that the series hadn’t been extended by two more episodes, ‘Another Oh Hae Young’ still managed to be extremely enjoyable as a whole.
