I guess all the praises for My Ahjusshi have been sung by uri beanies, so to not sound like a broken record, I decide to share my thought soup instead.

I notice a similarity between MA and OHYA. I think the writer re-employed her distinctive plot device: voice recording. I particularly like this device (trope?) because our lead could access the opposite lead’s honest innermost thought which I think might be a little awkward to be told face to face, hence the advantage of this device. I feel this is particularly effective to build emotional connection and genuine trust between characters. So writer-nim, I look forward to your next drama will similar build-up.

Pd-nim really elevates everything, hands down. It also makes me wonder whether OHYA will be a healing drama like MA if the pd takes a different directing approach .

    After finishing My Ajusshi, I also couldn’t help but think that maybe in another PD’s hands, Oh Hae-young could become another healing drama. I actually like how the writer didn’t shy away from showing us the ugly and unhealthy side of people who is hopelessly in love.

      Happy to know there are others shared similar sentiment. 😊

      Others might have mentioned that but I’m not aware of it because I rarely manage to check out the recap threads of My Ahjusshi. Quite busy with real life I guess, haha.

      Despite my statements, I actually enjoyed both dramas (the later might be because Seo Hyun Jin is so good in it). Both dramas felt like the two different faces of the same coin and I enjoyed both of them, the slice of life and the romcom.
