Or not being afraid to get into a knock-down drag-out fight to defend her daughters honor. That meant believing in Hae Young when Duk Yi had her doubts. As tough as Hwang Duk Yi (Kim Mi Kyung) was when it came to her daughter, she also loves her daughter unconditionally. One of the best things about the drama was watching Hae Young’s relationship with her parents. Their “relationship” may be unconventional in that it may not be based on passionate love but perhaps it is enough to have it be based on respect and integrity. Unlike Soo Kyung’s outlook on love, Jin Sang is so carefree when it comes to relationships, Soo Kyung has an immovable about her feelings. He always tries to look out for Do Kyung’s back. She is also the only person who is candid to her duplicitous mother.Īs for Jin Sang, he may have a different woman on his arm every night but he’s got a good heart. As much as Soo Kyung is ridiculously comical in scenes when she’s drunk, she’s very similar to Do Kyung in that she is very black and white. In a strange twist, it was amusing to see the unusual chemistry between Do Kyung’s older sister, Park Soo Kyung (Ye Ji Won) and his best friend, Lee Jin Sang (Kim Ji Suk). At the same time, Hoon and Ahn Na learned to take responsibility for their dreams and feelings. Do Kyung learned to take some risks and chase his dreams, literally. I loved how the drama compared these two characters with Do Kyung as it showed that they could learn a lot from each other.

And yet, when he begins to have these visions, it challenges him to try and put his faith in something that isn’t so tangible: love.Īs much as Park Hoon (Huh Jung Min) and Yoon Ahn Na (Huh Young Ji) appear irresponsible, they are also characters that aren’t afraid to chase their dreams. Unlike his mother, he works for himself and makes his own success.

When it comes to his sound design/ foley artist team which includes his younger brother, he demands perfection in regards to the work that they do. Do Kyung is the kind of person who is a straight arrow. Even though Pretty Oh Hae Young had a leg up on life, both Oh Hae Young’s discover that they are not all that different.Īs for Do Kyung, I find it interesting that he is given the power of precognition. And there’s something to be said for the optimistic demeanor she puts forward even in front of her haters. She may not have done the right thing by leaving Do Kyung at the altar without giving him her reasons but the drama certainly does give her very good reasons for doing so. And yet, like Hae Young, she is also pretending by putting her best face forward. At first, she seems to come off as a happy-go-lucky character in which everything has been handed to her. Seo Hyun, Yoo Seung Woo – 사랑이 뭔데 (What is it About Love?) Īs the second lead, I was also glad that Pretty Oh Hae Young had depth. She only lets out her pain when she’s alone and because of the combination of these thing that make up Hae Young and Seo Hyun Jin’s ability express that raw emotion without pretense, we immediately take to her character. She’s a trainwreck but she’s not afraid to embrace that side of her and say what’s on her mind. She pretends that everything is alright because she doesn’t want to appear sad, petty and pathetic. The way tackles her problems is what makes Hae Young so relatable. As much as Hae Young tries to brush off all the negative feelings she has towards Pretty Oh Hae Young, it’s human nature to want to release that stress and she does so in hilariously wacky ways. And yet, it is completely normal to wonder what life would be like if your frenemies’ life wasn’t as happy as you perceive it to be. We all have that person in our lives that are our frenemies and social norms dictate that we must be civil. What is so refreshing about this drama is how honest it is about people and relationships. Learning of the misunderstanding, Do Kyung begins to see visions of the future involving him and Hae Young. He assumed “Oh Hae Young” was the same Oh Hae Young who left him at the altar one year ago. Using his connections with a powerful CEO, Park Do Kyung (Eric) was instrumental in breaking the happy couple up due to a slight misunderstanding. The truth of the matter is Tae Jin broke things off as he was facing jail time for corrupt business practices. That is, until Han Tae Jin (Lee Jae Yoon) abruptly breaks it off the day before their wedding. She has a steady job, a handsome fiancé and she looked forward to their upcoming nuptials. However, Hae Young has become pretty satisfied with her life. Sharing the same name did not make life any easier on Oh Hae Young. In high school, Just Oh Hae Young (Seo Hyun Jin) was always envious of Pretty Oh Hae Young’s (Jun Hye Bin) life as she was not only pretty but smart and nice.
