The main actor was so cute about his feelings and when he was embaressed, i really loved his acting!
This drama was amazing from the start till the end! I was crying like a baby in last minutes of the episode thinking that something bad was about to happening ;_;
The music was soo fitting| God, when i heard a french OST here i thought " what!? why?" and then some characters had to talk in french so the others wouldn't know what they were talking about!
You should really give a chance to watch this!

One thing I like about this drama other than the amazing soundtrack and camera work is the play on what happens when you don't explain yourself/the situation properly to those around you.
Let me explain....so both Pretty OHY and Han Tae Jin had something happen that stopped them from marrying their other halves and in my opinion it didn't need to go this far lol. Ok Tae Jin had something major happen to him but instead of explaining to Just OHY and truly thinking about her and giving her the choice to decide whether she wanted to stay or go he left her using a cheap ass line like 'I don't like the way you eat'. POHY's reason for leaving was quite deep but again instead of getting mad at Do Kyung there and then she decides to run off. But what I like about this is that they both come back trying to make amends on the ethos that they were 'doing the right thing at the time' and their exes are having none of it.
The cliché would be that they would explain themselves and fall back in love again but they didn't do it this time and I'm so friggin happy.
The story was quite realistic apart from the villain soon-to-be father in law, but other than that it was quite realistic you definitely felt for Tae Jin and POHY even though at points you didn't really want to.
I love the side characters, the guys that work for Do Kyung and JOHY's clique at work who support her and back her up. I also love Soo Kyung and her story, she brings comedy to an otherwise dreary scene but I love how they have expanded on her character and made her storyline deeper and more realistic, I was definitely shocked by her storyline but it made me love her character even more. JOHY's parents are absolutely delightful, I love the stark comparison between her parents and POHY and Do Kyung's family situation.
I don't really see the need for the 2 episode extension because it could have all been completed in the 16 as one full episode I think 15/16 can't remember was dedicated to gushy showy affection between the two mains which kind of made me uncomfortable (probably cos I'm not that kind of girl lol) but I guess it gave the chance for the side characters to round off their story. I did really enjoy the last episode made you smile whilst watching it.
The soundtrack I really enjoyed not too many songs (its on Spotify) but they all worked in their various situations.
Ooooo another thing I loved is the opening, it was really smartly done and fun to watch I never skipped it lol, which I usually do.

I personally think this drama is really underrated. It suppose to at least has the rating of 9.5 and above. I am popular with high taste when it comes in choosing and rating a drama. This one cannot even be beaten with the famous new drama, Goblin. To be honest I never wrote a review but the low rating urges me to take a stand and fight ! LOLI wont give you spoilers.
The story: Superb! The writer is genius and it is amazing how you will never want to miss every details in each episode and how the story start to take its place one by one.
Watching this one, you will need to prepare a pillow and tissues as you will turn to a crazy person that will laugh for a five minutes and cry immediately after that and after few minutes you will be feeling angry. They really done a good job in playing with our emotions. Well, my emotions..
The cast? WoWWW!! Literally WOW. The superb story combined with A++ acting from each character in the story would not give any better results. Its the best ! You will start to think you are the lead actor as they able to relate to your emotions.
The music used was catchy and you will start to hum along and will haunt you in daily life even if not watching. LOL
Rewatching would differ for each person as some people like me really hate to watch again on any dramas. But I rewatch this one haha. I joined my friends who currently are watching Ms Oh.
As you can see, my comment started getting shorter and shorter. This is because giving a review is really not my cup of tea but I'll say one last thing., You will regret it if you skip this one. Bye.

The acting was great!
One wish in this show is that if the writers hadn't lagged so much, it got dragged all over the place in a few spots as if the writers were't at the top of their game.
So I recommend it if you are bored. Use it as a filler

To be honest, I admit I wasn't hooked right away, but there's something so addictive and so real about the characters and their relationships Not every single episode was full of super cutesy moments or plot twists...rather than that, the drama has a more natural flow and pacing.
It was slow, but not draggy...it was enjoyable to see how all the cast interacted even though most their personalities were completely different.
Anyways to sum it up, here's my list of reasons why you should watch Another Oh Hae Young:
1. One of the most realistic female leads ever. She goes through so much and still stands her ground.
2. REAL KISSES, not the wide eyed , no lip movement B.S in so many kdramas
3. Awesome Bromance!
4. AMAZING SOUNDTRACK. The music is so DAMN GOOD!
5. A unique love story
6. SUPERB Acting!
7. Lots of character growth!
8. Learn awesome facts on how the sound effects in kdramas, movies and shows are made (It's super cool to watch throughout the drama)
9. Lots of deep conversation and beautiful monologues
10. It's so much fun!
If you're still unsure. Just go youtube some Fan Made Videos and I'm sure you will fall in love.
Anyways, if you haven't watched this yet give it 4 episodes and it will do it's magic. My initial thoughts were "it's alright" but now I realized that I would have missed out on such an amazing drama if I dropped it. It was so good that I forced myself to not watch the last ep until 2 months after because I didn't want it to end Lol.

Avoid It Like A Traffic Accident...
This drama is a mess and then some. ML was an emotionally constipated jerk with anger issues, FL had zero self esteem nor any respect for herself, plus her favorite hobbies were drinking all the time to the point of alcoholism, sobbing and wallowing in self-pity to a masochistic degree. Which, tbh, fits the narrative of EVERYONE and their cat using her as their punching bag without her ever fighting back. SFL was a fake ass barbie who creeped me out with her toxic positivity, need for attention and obsession over ML, and SML only trait is "woe is meeeee" while having the personality of a blank drywall. ML's sister needed therapy and AA lifetime meetings/counseling. Actually they all needed therapy, or in ML's case a better therapist because whatever tf he is doing it was clearly NOT working.And while we are at it: the characters' consumption amount of alcohol is downright on a "yall have a serious alcoholism problem danger level. I hate hate HATE how this drama depicts drinking, like korean drinking culture is one thing/unhealthy enough, but to show characters "solving/drowning" their problems in alcohol to the point of them blacking out EVERY SINGLE TIME/NIGHT is downright dangerous and irresponsible.
I have rarely seen such a concentration of unsympathetic characters in one single drama, be it side or main characters. The romance with its push and pull/back and forth and outright refusal of any communication (mostly from ML's side) and her dependency on ML to feel any happiness was frustrating and very unhealthy too. And yet, and yet I couldn't stop watching it and i didn't even know why. For some unknown reason, I kept rushing from one episode to the next, fascinated by the mess one single writer could create while oddly STILL rooting for any characters to get a grip. Well, in the end, it has never happened, to no one's surprise, not even my own. So i guess this must have been the famous traffic accident (pun intended, given its plot) effect, where one should look away but can't. And imo, this sums up this show best.

Hated it with a passion
As we say in the book community, I'm DNFing this one. I just found both lead characters to be very unlikable people and impossible to root for. After 13 episodes, they were both still selfish, self-centered and cowardly, and I couldn't help but find them very toxic together (and it was complete BS to throw some sob-story 3/4 of the way in just to make your character seem a little more sympathetic).For a good chunk I found the older sister to be incredibly annoying , exasperating and ridiculous, but she eventually grew on me. Her and the ex-fiancé were the only characters I liked, but I just couldn't endure over 5 more hours of torture to just get a few glimpses of them and find out how their arcs concluded (I have my guesses, but if anyone feels inclined to comment a few spoilers down below, I won't be mad).
I just honestly can't see how this drama has such a high rating.
