Oh! Juinnim

Korean Drama Oh My Ladylord had a great cast, some strong family plotlines, some sweet, romantic moments, but a bad story.

The pace was off, with some badly edited scenes and a few questionary camera angles. The twists were also old, especially those towards the ending, and they were not entertaining. The focus on the love triangle, also, was a false move. It was itself forced and it messed things up a lot and unnecessarily. The bromance that they tried to enforce was boring as well. Not to mention the side couples that tried too hard to be funny, but failing every time. As for the worst moment of the drama, that would be the ending. The fantasy element was bad right from the start, was never properly explained, was often forgotten, did not fit the main mood of the drama and, in the end, ruined the ending.

However, there were some good things that helped a bit. The family drama was good and the mothers' relationships with their children were just so warm and sweet and all the actors and actresses did a great job with them. The performances overall were enjoyable and top-notch but the script did not help them at all. The main couple, in addition, had chemistry and were good together.

So, overall, four out of ten. The first episodes were nice, and there were some parts of this drama that were good, but the rest was just not good enough.

I am compelled to write a review after watching this series mainly because it has a low rating on this platform and it deserves over 7 for sure!! It's a beautifully written series, sometimes a bit clumsy in parts but the performances of Lee Min-ki and Nama are so lovely it's worth watching just for them! Anyone who rated this show 1 really has done it a disservice. I found it very watchable and meaningful!

Part 2, at the end part 1 is the beginning of part 2, he wakes up from a coma to his real father sitting next to him. His real father is alive, he was kept secret from him until he ended up in a coma. Everyone is still alive. When he gets out of the hospital he rewrites the story. Joo-in doesn't like him and is in relationship with Yu-jin. Anyway Joo-in is convinced into acting in the series. BI-soo ends up with Joo-in after she realizes he wrote the series for her. Bi-soo's mother doesn't have cancer divorces the step dad and dates Kim Cang wan. Bi-soo's mother and Joo-in's mother move into their own place, traveling all over the world.

For a start the title Lady Lord is ridiculous - it would be Landlady if anything. I am wondering how a mother could sell the house her son lives in without telling him - and how if she is the owner - he has the power to stop the sale. This is the standard of writing in this series.

Th FL is a poor actress taking the part of a poor actress - you'd think she would be good at that but she wasn't.

I only watched this for Li Min ki - I have no idea why he signed on for this which was a total rip-off of "Because this is my first life". That series was better in every regard including acting - writing and directing.

I guess it was just a means to a financial end.

This kdrama hits many of the familiar tropes, but nails them with such accuracy and charm that viewers will be willing to forgive the familiarity. Lee Min-ki and Nana are both excellent in this type of rom-com, and they exhibit great chemistry. The side characters are all well drawn and have nice story arcs too. The first few episodes are light and fresh... but the show teases hidden depths to come. This is a great drama for those experienced with the kdrama aesthetic... or for those who want a perfect introduction. With this... and last year's fantastic "Into the Ring", Nana is quickly becoming the go-to-actress for this type of role -- the strong independent woman with a heart of gold.
