Plot

Oh Hae Young (Seo Hyun Jin) works as an assistant manager at a large corporate catering company. But there is the “other” Oh Hae Young (Jun Hye Bin) who has caused identity mix-ups and grief for Hae Young her entire life. As fate would have it, the other Oh Hae Young also works for the same company as a higher-up team manager. That other Oh Hae Young also went to the same schools as Hae Young, and she was always known to be prettier, smarter and more popular. Park Do Kyung (Eric Mun) works as the top sound director for a film company. When he suddenly develops the ability to see into the future, he finds himself entangled with both Oh Hae Youngs. What will become of Do Kyung and his two Oh Hae Youngs? 

My Feelings 

This drama was a LOT! Oh my goodness. This was one of those dramas with plot twist after plot twist but in the best of ways, not over complicated and not taking itself too seriously. This was my second time watching it and it was as interesting this time as it was the first time...except that I knew the big reveal. The big standout in this drama was Oh Hae Young played by Seo Hyun Jin, this was the most passionate female lead I have ever seen in any K drama, she was emotional and unapologetically so. She cried when she was sad, laughed when she was happy and loved like there was no tomorrow, despite her terrible experience with love. Yes, she was super dramatic but not in a way that was annoying, she just seemed like someone that felt a lot and had no reservations about showing her feelings. Eric Mun didn't quite blow me away but he played his role pretty well, he sure has the smolder down pat. I also loved the other characters in this drama, Do Kyungs family as well as Hae Youngs family were really interesting to watch. Now, to the other Hae Young, played by Jeon Hye Bin, she wasn't baaaaddd BUT I didn't enjoy her character at all. She comes sauntering back in thinking everything will go back as they were, I know she wasn't overtly mean to Hae Young but underneath the smiles and friendliness, she would not have hesitated to end her and Do Kyungs budding relationship. Sure what he said wasn't what anyone would want to hear from their fiance but my goodness, there are a lot better ways to handle it. Oh and Han Tae Jin's character was just gross, I don't know what on earth he was thinking to act the way he did, what gave him the right? He hurt Hae Young and left her (despite his reasons) and comes back acting all slighted after discovering why it happens and acts like a complete douche, super unlikable character here.

Conclusion

All in all, this drama is a must watch, it's very enjoyable and takes you on quite the emotional journey...and is filled with steamy kisses 😉
