Oh My Venus (2015)

I can do anything as long as I set my mind to it. I can still do this, so I didn’t reach my limit yet. – Kang Joo Eun

“Oh My Venus” tells the story of a female lawyer who works hard to regain her attractive figure. She meets her polar opposite in a famous health trainer. The individuals experience healing their past hurts as they go through the weight loss process.

MAIN CAST

• So Ji-sub as Kim Young-ho/John Kim
• Shin Min-a as Kang Joo-eun
• Jung Gyu-woon as Im Woo-shik
• Yoo In-young as Oh Soo-jin

FANGIRL NOTES

• Genre : Romance / Drama / Comedy / Fitness
• It aired on KBS2 for 16 episodes beginning on November 16, 2015.
• Shin underwent heavy make-up and costuming for her role as the overweight Kang Joo-eun. Before each filming session, Shin underwent three hours of make-up that included attaching a silicon mask formed from a mold of her face. A fat suit and padded clothing were also used to create the appearance of a heavy 30-something.

K-DRAMA FEELS

• This is a very straightforward and simple story of how an obese woman eventually lost weight but gained the love of a chaebol guy. The story is fairly simple but was executed wonderfully.
• I like the bromance between So Ji Sub, Henry and Sung Hoon.
• The music in this drama was super catchy and cute. My personal favorites are Darling U by Kim Tae-woo ft.Ben / Love moves on by Kei.
• Favorite scene:  Hospital Scene (“Tap,tap”). Grabe, nadala ako ng emosyon ni Kang Joo Eun.
• I became a So Ji Sub fan watching this drama. He is naturally and effortlessly hot.
• You can not help but fall for Shin Min Ah’s bubbly and attractive personality.  Her trademark dimples were so incredibly cute.
• The chemistry between the leads was undeniably one of the best!
• This drama made me laugh, cry and smile so much.
• I definitely recommend Oh My Venus, if you feel like watching something that’s romantic, “erotic”, emotional, and funny!

My Overall Rating – 8.5/10 (It’s a typical romcom, but because of the great chemistry between the 2 main characters I really enjoyed watching it.)
