Oh! Juinnim

This drama started off well, but kinda lost interest by episode 6. The female lead is supposed to be this kind, helpful, thoughtful actress while the male lead is an eccentric writer who is a bit narcissistic.

By episode 7, by the magic of God knows what, the female lead suddenly can't decide between the two guys who've confessed to her and instead chooses to play the field, saying she likes them both. That's a complete 180 from her behavior. Also, the male lead is portrayed as a clingy, jealous baby. It's like both the leads drank a magic potion of stupid provided by the writer. The male lead instead of spending precious moments with his dying mother, instead decides to run around the female lead trying to get his attention. All the character development until ep 5-6 goes out the window, along with the storyline and quite possibly the interest of the viewers with episode 7. The drama crew probably wanted to start a love triangle between Joo-in, Bi-soo and whatshisname (who surprisingly has just one expression on his face because apparently his script described his character to act goofy at all times) but this drama should know when not to kdrama. So, they used the love triangle plot. What's next? Bi-soo is going to die(the angel guy said he just extended Bi-soo's lifespan by a short while) so he meets an accident. Then we'll have the female lead finding out about it and rushing to be on his side, realizing she loved him all along. He survives but loses his memory and she tries to win his heart again (because kdrama has to kdrama).

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.

The story is actually quite good, and the acting of the main role actress is impressive.

Beginning episodes were good, but after watching episode 6 and above, this drama was starting to be strange and hate to watched.

I stopped watch this drama after episode 12, because the both main characters were already being non-logical and inacceptable any more.

The main actor's character turned to be a kind of garbage & meanful man. The writer suddenly made the man's character to be so mean to the woman's character.

Never has a man, who deeply loves a woman, could be so mean to the woman's heart and hurt her heart so deep even the woman did nothing harm to him.

In other drama, the actor's character is made to be a gentle heart man, so the viewer could enjoy the romantic atmosphere in the story.

Does the writer of this drama know? That in the real life, when a man loves a woman, he would never hurt the woman's heart by any reason, even when the man is dying. So, please learn from the fact in the real world life before you write a story about romance. It's just very ridiculous to make all the main's character to be such annoying person.

In the end of this story, are the writer gonna make spectacular change? The actor doesn't die, and they will get marriage happily after all what happened between them in this story?? You think this is a cartoon drama?

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.

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!
