> Being healthy is being sexy

The overall moral is that body image shouldn't be everything but lets be honest: it kind of is, in our society. The plot was a bit thin, I admit, especially on the 'common' kdrama tropes side but the drama did put their own spin on it frequently. Putting that aside, however, the moral displayed throughout was pretty inspirational. I can't say: 'Watch this drama. It's mind blowing and has a amazing story that you can't predict.' What I CAN say is: 'It's cute, fluffy, and adorable. Do watch this if you want some fun, bickering romance that is organic and is a genuinely healthy relationship.' At the end of the day, sometimes I just like some classic fare and OMV does just that with the added bonus of So Ji Sub and Shin Min Ah.

The other is the constant reminder that Kang Joo Eun was a Venus in her teens and therefore with good determination she could get back to her older self. I think young people should know that it's not possible to compete with your past, but only with your present. So trying to set a goal based on how slim is you were at 16 now that you are 30 will simply frustrate you.

Also, this drama tried to touch so many topics....dieting, exercising, stalking, abuse, friendship, romance, work issues, loyalty and long term injuries (of the body and of the soul). Although its dragged out a bit more than what its worth (a 3 hour long movie or 10 episode mini-series) ; its pleasantly enjoyable especially when you are looking for light rom-com inbetween series political dramas like Six Flying Dragons.


I recommend to watch this drama at least once; especially due to the chemistry between So Ji Sub and Shin Min Ah and their fluffy romance. I must admit i have never seen this much PDA in any other korean series (although its not western level) ; it was pleasant nonethless.
