Im starting ep 15 of OMB and Im a biy disappointed. I feel like Ive been vaguely disappointed in this drama since the beginning.
It feels like it had such a strong beginning and interesting premise but never really went anywhere with it. I was shocked when I realized this was the last week. Iy still feels like early days…like the drama is just beginning and building up to something.
I thunk it felt like this because they never show Hari exploring het options and it feels like there should have been more to be discussed, considered, and thrown away than trying to illegally buy sperm or get knocked up. She mentioned once that she didnt want to consider adoption until it was a choice and not a fallback. I wish they had shown more conversations like that between her and her friends or her and her mother or just pondering it alone. It feels likenshe got told bad news,made a rash decision and decided to cling to it for dear life.
Ill probably change my mind when it’s time to see it but Im not really looking forward to the wedding. Maybe Ive seen too many college romance dramas or Noona romamces with people wearing their hearts on their sleeves But I’ve never really felt like Hari was into YiSang–probably why it still feels like Im waiting for a shoe to drop. Because shes never seemed particularly into YiSang its hard to remember that hes the male lead. But Im on ep 15 of 16. I hardly think theyll introduce a new love line now!
I wish this was better. It feels like it should have been.
What is Omb? Did you ever finish FTLY with Ethan? I haven’t been drama beans for awhile before yesterday and when I looked my last comment was about your desire to put a hammer to Ethan. Good luck with your library opening it sounds like Alot!
Oh My Baby. It was…meh. I did finish FtLY. It was a horrible and traumatic experience.
My library has already decided to scale back our opening amd were only open for curbside services starting tomorrow. Pandemic is so stressful.
How are you? How are things?
FTLY – yeah I kinda forgot how painful it was, my heart broke for her after losing the baby and I skimmed alot through their separation. I’m back at work going from 2 months on my butt to my company ramping up to 7 days a week. In the Heat eek!🥺 Thing is I Like being at home. So anyway tired but grateful to have a job.
I have to admit as much as I like Jang Nara I knew I wouldn’t even attempt it. I have no problem with baby -centric dramas but I tend to not like more than 2 ml interested in the fl harems sound fun but …I’m currently taken with Psycho but its Okay sooo much. I’d be curious to see how many drama fans have called it their ‘Red Shoes’ lol. And Hospital Playlist stands at ep 11(for me )
Do you know, OMB never felt like a female harem at all. She has 3 guys that she wants sperm from (maybe). The young guy has a crush on her, the next guy is an old friend and then the guy she ends up with. She starts dating the ML pretty early and the kid with a crush learns about it right away and gets over her. The friend goes back and forth between wanting to be a friend and an overprotective big brother. He spends most of the drama friendzoned or as a jerk. It never feels like a harem because other than the lead no one seems particularly in to herand she doesnt seem in to them either!
I hope youll be ok going back to work! Just the phyiscal getting up, getting dressed and going to work by a specific time was draining for.me this week. Id been working in my branch for the last two weeks but on a showing up in my pjs get there when I get there, leave when I wanna capactiy. Being there, fully dressed, with people and doing stuff was exhausting. Our governor released a thing yesterday or the day before with a color coded warnjng system for how bad covid is in each county and were second from highest dont leave your house unless strictly necessary. I love my.job and all but im not sure handing people bagd of books and dvds should be considered strictly necessary. A few days ago I helped a woman who’s sister has covid and Ive had a sore throat and a bit of a headache ever since. Is it ckvid? Do i need to be tested? I dont know and Im lowkey resentful thatI was put in a situation to question it. People .y age, skin tone (black), and body type (obese) are among the highest numbers dying from this. Or thats what the news said when I stopped watching the news….
Well points in favor for Oh My Baby, but as.you said it was meh I’ll probably pass until struck by a specific mood, I’m enjoying the weirdness of Psycho But its Okay.
I see what you mean, in so many
instances people with a say seem to overlook the dangers presented by all these seemingly simple interactions. I had to stop watching the news too, I will look up the updates but have tried not to keep going back over and over in a short time like I used to. It was not helpful in the slightest. But they have fireworks scheduled in my county and all the surrounding counties and it just feels like a horrible idea -even if people stay distanced the vendors will be a magnet.. I’m getting accustomed to the routine of work but I was put on 1st shift
For 2 weeks then moved back to 2nd so I’m a little off still. Now I’m just trying to convince myself to do laundry before starting Psycho, Infear itd a losing battle lol. Good luck and take care of yourself!
This is one of the things that I dont like about OMB. Hari doesnt talk aboit any thing. She just makes a decision and to heck with what anyone else thinks. Which is perfectly when she wad single and was trying to be a single mom.
After she starts dating YiSang and later learns that hes infertile as well that seems like it would have been the time for some serious conversations. You cant say that she didnt want to have those conversations sp early in the relationship. He went in to it knowing she wanted to fast track everything. He decidef to resume his infertility treatments presumably because a child is something that he wanted. However, after she has her surgery she just–announces— to him that shes given up on kids and expects him to as well and that shes decided they are just going to love happily just the two of them.
She knows that his previous engagement ended painfully because of infertility. But shes assuming thst hes going through all of this now just for her. Have they talked about the reality of kids? Does he really want them or was he just trying because of the previous two women in his life? Way earlier in the drama Hari noticed the infertility drug at his house on a shelf. That says to me at least that even when he wasnt in a relationship he was still doing at least a part of the treatment so that he could be a father one day. And now arbitrarily shes just announces that there arent kids at all in their future?
I would say I hope they have an honest conversation about this later on but honest conversation doesnt seem to be how this drama works.
Even as hes “giving” her time to think– why arent they having a real conversation? Shes not single anymore. They can meet with her obgyn and talk about their options. They can talk to each other about options. Adoption. Foster carre. In vitro. Surrogates. There is so much more to becoming a parent then inserting tab a into slot b and peeing on a stick and shoving out a kid later.
Look at Dohas parents. They created a child but she abandoned the baby on her 100 day celebration. And while he was physically taking care of her–his insistence that he was taking care of her alone is bs. He all but dumped that kid in Haris moms lap and said look! A new kid! Enjoy! And went to work amd stalked Hari. I feel like Hari has spent all of this time working at The Baby and longing for a baby that even though her two best friends have kids shes never considered what makes a parent a parent.
Oh, this is solely because Jang Nara is an awesome actress and 100% nothing to do with the writing or storytelling up to this point but Hari beating on YiSangs door after he breaks up with her, and later her breakdown in the street (and his quiet tears watching her?) Beautifully, remarkably well done. Its the most Ive EVER felt like she was into him and not in to his potential to make her a mom.
Also. It annoyed me when she was crying with her friend in the park and she yelled out its so hard to have kids!
Madam. Youve tried one way and have had sex one time since your diagnosis and zero times since your surgery.
Soooo…..if you actually eant kids maybe look into the ways people have kids. You ARE a journalist, right? You know how to researxh all the various ways of baby making?
I really didn’t like the ending and how HaRi’s infertility was treated.
I know this is a drama, but a real woman with her issues (almost 40, endometriosis) only has one real chance of being pregnant: having a IFV, but the issue is that she can’t have an IFV unless she’s married, so I guess she can’t have her ovules frozen because she’s not married.
So, when she kept on wanting to having a child and not doing anything to actually having a child felt so empty that I really lost all interest.
Same! And if the only way toget ivf was marriage it seems like thats what she should have been rushing toward but she was hesitant to say yes. Do you know, this probably would have made a better fake relationship drama then whatever thet were going for
