Ddo Oh Hae Yeong

At first, I thought this would be just another Rom-Com. But as it went on I noticed that while the two main leads had their struggles and obstacles on their path to love, the others also had interesting dynamics. The ex-fiancé who let Oh Hae Yoeng think he didn't love her to protect her. The older sister/director who just wanted to be loved yet didn't want to force it on someone who couldn't see her as a romantic. The other Oh Hae Yoeng who also walked away to free Do Kyong from what would have been a loveless marriage.

Everyone had to make sacrifices making mistakes along the way, and even those that were to blame for all the hurt & heartache became characters you felt pity for in the end.

Some things were predictable, but by the end you were so involved emotionally you just wanted the best for everyone.

Although ultimately, I did really enjoy this series, it was a bit hit or miss with me. To start with the great, Seo Hyun-jin. Although her character was irritating at times, she portrayed the part excellently. I also enjoyed Kim Mi-kyung. I've only seen her in 'Mother' roles but she plays them perfectly.

The story concept was really interesting and I thought they did a good job with the two Oh Hae-young characters - one becoming insecure because she was constantly being compared unfavorably with her name-sake and the other being {mostly} oblivious to how her popularity affected the other. And I thought they did a great job with the makeup for Seo Hyun-jin in the flashbacks to make her less attractive. Of course they couldn't really do that with the 'present' version so the unattractive vs attractive comparison didn't really work for the bulk of the show.

And the theory of behind the 'visions' was new and interesting - I haven't seen that one used before.

I thought the ending was a perfect wrap up for the series. Especially the scene where everyone is together and starts arguing about dates.

As a side note, I always do find it amusing when they have an Idol-turned-actor sing poorly in the karaoke scenes.

But there were parts I didn't like so much. The drinking and drunk scenes were a bit excessive even by Kdrama standards. If real life in Korea is even a little like what they portray, liver transplants must be right behind cosmetic surgery in quantity.

And the leech-relative trope is one of my least favorites - just cut them off and out of your life already.

I also thought just-Hae-young's unrequited love for Do-kyung was unexplained. Sure he did a few nice things for her but her also was rather harsh in pushing her away. And while her background would have made her rather insecure, I don't see why she'd keep throwing herself at a seeming brick wall the way she did. Especially since, in the grand scheme of things, Do-kyung was the villain behind her latest set of issues.

I really really liked all the characters they were great but the main character -Eric Moon- absolutely loved his character and just could not get enough of watching him- he played his character so well - the kissing scenes were the best kissing scenes I have seen in the Asian dramas- on a quest to find more shows with Eric ..

There are two Oh Hae Youngs, one is beautiful and successful and one is ordinary and plain. They went to the same school where the ordinary one was continually embarrassed for sharing the same name. There lives become linked again through one man Park Do Kyung who has foreboding visions of his future. An excellent cast with highly entertaining stories of their own, and a truly outstanding performance by Seo Hyeon-Jin who wears her heart on her sleeve. A great series which captures moments and approaches in different relationships, with families, friends and those they love.

Eric's acting suckssssss . Even the supporting actors much better than him! The female lead also have really freak annoying character Its boring!
