📝 Review
(WARNING: Potential Spoilers — I'm Not Saving You from any Emotional Damage)
First and foremost: Choi Si Won’s smile is reason enough to watch this drama.
Then his body showed up and said, “Hello. Yes. You rang?”
I loved watching Oh! My Lady. It’s cute as hell—even if I absolutely hated his hairstyle. Deeply. Passionately. That hair was a choice. A loud one.
Chae Rim, on the other hand, was solid. Grounded. Warm. And somehow rocking a haircut I also hated. Balance.
The chemistry between Choi Si Won and Chae Rim was genuinely epic—not in a melodramatic way, but in that easy, banter-filled, we accidentally became a family way. Add Kim Yoo Bin into the mix and the emotional payoff multiplies. The three of them made this drama completely worthwhile.
But let’s not pretend it was all fluff and vibes—because here comes our favorite genre staple:
The Second Female Lead From Hell.
Hong Yu Ra—emotionally manipulative, college-era “friend,” and lifelong enabler of Sung Min Woo’s worst instincts. The kind of woman where if she told him to jump off a bridge, he’d do it and call it devotion. You know the type. The eye-rolling was so intense I worried I’d see the back of my skull.
As for Yoo Shi Joon?
Never—not once—did I see him as a romantic option for Yoon Gae Hwa. They were kindred spirits, sure: both betrayed by cheating spouses, both emotionally exhausted. But romantically? No spark. No fire. No interest. And honestly, his character became pretty boring as the show went on.
This is one of those true comfort dramas.
You don’t need your thinking cap. You just sit back and enjoy:
-
the smiles
-
the banter
-
the found-family vibes
-
and yes, the shirtless moments
No stress. No chaos. Just good feelings.
💭 Final Mood
“Relaxed, smiling, and fully aware this drama knew exactly what it was doing.”
