Oh! My Lady (2010)
16 episodes

Series Outline: Sung Min Woo is the top male star in Korea due to his good looks and singing talent. Ambitious, he moved into TV dramas which he helps with his star power and hinders with his terrible acting. He also has an exploitative, unethical manager. Yoon Gae Hwa is a housewife divorced from a rich husband who needs to earn enough money to keep her daughter in her custody while her ex-husband's new wife doesn't want the daughter of a previous wife around. Gae Hwa's sole prior work experience is 6 months as a reporter for a weekly scandal rag. Her first jobs shown in the series are unsuccessful but include 1 day as housekeeper for Sung Min Woo where a babysitting emergency forces her to leave early, infuriating Sung Min Woo. Shortly afterwards, she finds another job at a musical production company, learns a secret about Sung Min Woo, and convinces him to work on the agency's musical, and becomes Min Woo's handler for that agency as it prepares to put on a musical starring Min Woo..

After a whole month since my last KDRAMA series, I finally dived into this one on Wednesday night, and it hooked me so much that I couldn't stop watching until Thursday morning. Then, on Thursday evening, I continued my binge-watching spree until Friday morning.

I had asked Ame to download this series for me because I missed the chance to finish it when it aired on our local TV station. The downloaded copy has been sitting on my laptop for a month, waiting for the perfect moment.

While watching, I had a flashback to why I discovered Choi Siwon's "Who Am I" version. It was in this very drama where I first heard that soul-stirring song. I was so moved by it that I searched for it on YouTube and found that it was originally by Casting Crowns. Interestingly, Choi Siwon's rendition had a more profound impact on me than the original.

Finally, after all these years, I've completed the series, but I must admit that I was left a bit disappointed with the ending scene. I had higher expectations, hoping for something more. Nonetheless, the overall experience was worth it!
