Oh Hae-immature Once again: Episode 1
past LollyPip
Oh Hae-young Again makes a delightful beginning impression, blending wry humor and spunky characters with interesting cinematography and an impish soundtrack to create a very promising premiere episode. This first hr is mostly introductions and setup, but in that location'south something well-nigh it that has me emotionally all-in right from the kickoff. I want to know more — about the world, its inhabitants, and why one very handsome merely heartsick audio director is of a sudden and inexplicably seeing the future.
EPISODE 1: "Tin can I cry?"
A young adult female leaves a coffee shop with a shocked, lamentable expression, and walks a windy street. At the same fourth dimension, a young man works to brand a series of sound effects in a studio. His sound furnishings seem to characterize her journey, creating the clicking of her heels, the whoosh of the wind rushing down the street, the boom of a ascent thunderstorm.
With the human all the same the source of her sound effects, the young adult female stops and takes one glance behind her as if hoping someone is post-obit, then breaks into a run when there'south nobody there. Suddenly her face morphs into the face of an actress on a screen in front of the man, and when the scene is over, he collapses, exhausted.
The original young woman, OH HAE-YOUNG (Seo Hyun-jin), arrives at a domicile bustling with people happily talking and laughing, though she looks sad and resigned. They greet Hae-young equally "the bride," which seems to give her a intermission, and she rejects the crowded table to sit down by herself in the kitchen.
Equally the family excitedly discusses nuptials plans, Hae-immature stares into space dejectedly, and her female parent (Kim Mi-kyung) finally notices her odd beliefs. Hae-young blurts out a weak, "I'grand not getting married."
It's similar a dam bursts, and Hae-young tells her mother everything all at once: She and her fiance fought all the time while planning their hymeneals, seeing sides of each other they didn't like, so they decided to telephone call it off. Mama Oh blows upwards — the wedding is tomorrow, and anybody fights while planning their nuptials. How can she abolish at the last minute??
Hae-immature announces it to the residual of the family unit, earning a thwack upside the head from her loving mother. Mama Oh calls the fiance'south family unit to assure them that Hae-immature merely has cold feet and that the wedding is still on, even if she has to drag her daughter to the altar.
Hae-young argues that it's over no matter what Mama Oh says, and for that matter, her ex-fiance agrees. She blows up, screaming that she hates his face and she refuses to ally him, shocking Mama Oh and the rest of the family.
But she gets her way, and her father sends out an announcement that the wedding is chosen off. He fields calls from family members while Mama Oh and Hae-young lie in their beds, just eventually Mmaa Oh jumps up and goes to Hae-young'southward room to beat the crap out of her with a pillow.
Hae-immature defends that they would have gotten divorced anyway then this is improve, which just sends Mama Oh into a rage over her bringing the guy home in the showtime place. Heh, Hae-young conspicuously got her feisty nature from her mother.
A month afterwards, sporting a new haircut and a fresh bounce in her footstep, Hae-young smiles as she heads to help prepare rice at a catered event. It'due south obvious that she loves her work, and she enjoys watching people relish her nutrient.
Unfortunately the catering company possessor, DIRECTOR PARK (Ye Ji-won), doesn't share Hae-young's commitment to excellence, and refuses her request for higher-quality ricemaking equipment. Not only that, but she'southward dismissive and downright rude to Hae-young, and orders her to explain why she's been given the nickname of "Psycho."
Hae-immature says that it's a play on words, referring to the fact that Director Park is rarely in the function. Manager Park warns her that calling off her hymeneals doesn't make her brave, lecturing her on loyalty.
That'due south the seventh time she's insulted Hae-young for canceling her wedding, and Hae-immature'south final straw. She starts to complain, but Director Park just says, "It's nine times. I've been counting, besides." Damn.
Hae-young rants all the way back to her desk, entertaining her coworkers with her dramatic flair, and she's and then caught upwards in her creative insults that she's the last to realize that Director Park has followed her to the office. Director Park just gives Hae-young a Look and waltzes out. I take a feeling that It's On.
The boyfriend we saw earlier works on the sound effects for a gangster motion picture next — he'south PARK DO-KYUNG (Eric), a film audio director past profession, and this fourth dimension he's editing the effects while a trio of coworkers create the sound. He's a bit of a perfectionist, making the men re-tape the sounds if they're even the slightest bit off.
In fact he'due south such a perfectionist, he can fifty-fifty tell if furnishings were recorded during the day or at dark, and he drives his younger brother PARK HOON (Heo Jung-min) to distraction with his demands. Hoon gets so upset that he screams at Do-kyung, calling him erstwhile and a debauchee, and Exercise-kyung kicks his chair out from under him and threatens to impale him. Ha, brotherly love.
Hoon is still frustrated across conventionalities later, and complains to his coworkers near Do-kyung's impossible standards. They blame dramas for the fact that women like bad boys, so men similar Practise-kyung get away with beingness jerks.
The employees are on Hoon's side — until Do-kyung enters the room, then they chastise him for not beingness respectful enough of his hyung, heh. He's and so terrified of Do-kyung that he cringes and screams merely at the look on his brother's face up.
But Do-kyung'south ability to hear the minute details of sound may non be the gift information technology appears to be — he sits in a buffet later, and nosotros see that he hears every tiny noise even with earbuds in, from voices to percolating java.
The sounds trigger a memory (or is it a vision?) of a woman, kissing Do-kyung and climbing into bed to cuddle with him, maxim that the all-time sound in the globe is his heartbeat. Only his power to hear every little dissonance does help him solve a problem he'south been working on, and later his team uses celery to recreate the audio of a shattering os.
Hae-immature meets her friend KIM HEE-RAN (Ha Shi-eun) for drinks, who marvels at her courage to break off her wedding the day before. Hae-young makes it all sound more dramatic than it really was (this appears to be a habit with her), comparing the feeling of getting married to beingness dragged to prison, simply Hee-ran doesn't think the gossip volition die down equally rapidly as Hae-immature swears it will.
Hae-young sends Hee-ran off in a taxi, barely missing Exercise-kyung equally he and a buddy, LEE JIN-SANG (Kim Ji-suk) go out the sauna. HAHA, Practice-kyung chides Jin-sang for always taking his pants off and leaving his shirt on, but Jin-sang chirps that naked bodies are awesome, and glomps Practice-kyung in a big hug.
Jin-sang does a empty-headed trip the light fantastic toe when he sees a pair of beautiful ladies, and Do-kyung has a strange, deja-vu-similar moment (focused on Jin-sang's butt, hee). He says that that's been happening a lot lately, and then he immediately has another one, this time of Jin-sang wailing over a parking ticket.
And then that exact moment happens for real when they get to Jin-sang's car, which has a ticket on the windshield. Freaky.
Mama Oh breaks up a gossipy group of neighborhood ajummas who are yapping about Hae-young's canceled wedding, only to face more problems at home — their firm is still crowded with wedding gifts for the groom'south family that can't be returned. But when Hae-immature'southward aunt complains virtually her daughter'south thoughtlessness, she'due south quick to jump to her defense, awww.
They make up one's mind to send Hae-young on a blind date, hoping that she might get married soon anyway and they can unload all the gifts. Of form Hae-young has no interest in coming together another man and then soon, and apartment refuses, sparking another fight with her female parent.
Do-kyung is fighting his own boxing against relaxing his standards, arguing that he won't cutting corners on editing the sound for a movie but to get information technology finished faster. He yells at the director to have better taste, and orders him to accept his pic and shove it.
He's so hateful that he actually makes the managing director cry, and his mother (who appears to ain the company… it must be a family business) has to soothe his widdle injure feelings. She's a lot tougher in private with Do-kyung, who argues that the movie may be crap, simply as long as his name is in the credits he won't do less than his all-time.
He asks her not to produce such awful movies anymore, and that seems to hit a lilliputian close. His mother only barks that his words are likewise harsh, and storms out.
Hoon finds Do-kyung doing some rooftop brooding, and tells his brother to give their mom a pause — some day she'll get a good movie and brand a big break. In fact it could be his picture, considering Hoon has aspirations of beingness a big-fourth dimension motion picture director himself. He was a director's assistant for years, but he was getting nowhere so his hyung convinced him to come abode and learn his craft, though Hoon is resistant.
Practice-kyung may be rough around the edges, just he isn't heartless, and he gives Hoon his credit card and tells him to take the weepy managing director out for drinks and to talk well-nigh him behind his back. That's kind of sweet, actually.
Equally shortly as Hoon is gone, Do-kyung has some other vision, this time of a bird striking a window right most his head. He looks around cautiously but in that location are no birds flight nearby, then he starts to head within. Then something wings past his confront and slams into the window, and flutters weakly to the grass. It's but a mechanical bird, thank goodness, but this is definitely getting creepy.
Hae-young relents and goes on the blind date, but the guy turns out to be an ass who spends the whole repast texting with his friends about her. She'due south spunky plenty to phone call him out on information technology, and she says that she doesn't like him either, merely they should at least become through this politely.
He doesn't even pretend to care and just keeps texting and stuffing his face, so Hae-young orders the nearly expensive meat on the carte in retaliation. Too bad they're out, ha. Her date tries to skip out early to get hang with his friends, and even though she doesn't really similar him either, Hae-young's pride is injure and she asks for a week to win him over.
That must go downward similar a atomic number 82 balloon, because word gets back to Mama Oh before Hae-young even gets habitation that nighttime. But again Mama Oh defends her daughter, calling the guy a mama's boy for running off and tattling to his mommy near it. Okay, I dearest her. Best mom ever.
Hae-immature meets with Hee-ran after her appointment, and she loses a drunken bet that she can chug a beverage in i mouthful, spitting it all over her friend. She tries again and tips backward in her chair, injuring her arm. These two are the silliest.
Do-kyung begins to get concerned about his visions and does some research on deja vu, then calls Jin-sang out for a potable. But as shortly as he sees his friend, another vision comes on him, of a huge sign falling on Jin-sang'due south car. When it doesn't happen right away he orders Jin-sang to move his car, growing angry when Jin-sang resists.
Jin-sang somewhen agrees, but as soon as he starts back towards his motorcar, Exercise-kyung realizes that getting back in the vehicle could exist dangerous and stops him. Sure enough, that'southward when the sign falls — if Jin-sang had been in the car, he'd accept been killed.
Afterward Jin-sang asks if Do-kyung saw the sign coming loose or something, just Practice-kyung tin't come upwardly with a reasonable respond. He takes a broody shower, but has some other vision while in there, of a woman bent over at the waist. She stands and turns her head, and it's Hae-young, claret streaming from her nose, looking disheveled and furious.
The vision continues even after Do-kyung gets out of the shower, and he sees Hae-young crossing a decorated street, her arm in a bandage. She speaks to him only he tin't hear her words, and Do-kyung wonders what'southward happening to him.
He decides to come across a psychiatrist and tells him that he thought it was merely deja vu at first, simply the things he sees are really happening. Now he keeps seeing images of a woman, but not the woman he used to be engaged to — this woman is a stranger. Strangely though, he feels as though he knows her, and thinks that they will see shortly.
He imagines that they may take even unknowingly crossed paths already, and in his mind he sees Hae-immature walking towards him on a crowded sidewalk (notwithstanding with her arm in a cast). He'south mesmerized by her, though she doesn't notice him, and passes right by. Only as he turns to watch her go, she stops and turns back, and they lock optics for a long moment before Hae-young continues on her way.
Hae-immature arrives home and hails her mother, and we see that arm really is in a cast, from the autumn out of her chair the other night. Mama Oh's face darkens whenever Hae-immature stops to talk to the neighbors, blurting out that she hurt her arm while drinking. She's furious by the time they get dwelling house, not that Hae-immature notices, and she says near dreamily to her married man, "I might impale her today."
Dad simply has a second to warn Hae-young to flee before Mama Oh bursts into her room to assault her with a pig trotter, AHAHAHA. She chases her around the business firm with it, screaming at her for just telling the neighborhood all of their business concern without a intendance. She flings the trotter at Hae-young, who ducks and escapes the house.
Hoon's girlfriend has broken up with him, and she asks for all the gifts she gave him to be returned. He does return them — equally a pile of ashes, which he dumps into her lap in a java shop, hee. He laughs like a crazy person and calls her names, then heads to a convenience store to stuff his face up with triangle kimbap and have a good sulk.
The convenience shop employee, YOON AN-NA (Heo Young-ji), preens and asks if he'due south looking for a new girlfriend. Hoon takes in her curt skirt and come-here expression, and he's hooked.
Director Park heads out of the office for a surprise check on i of their locations, obliging Hae-young to leap upward and follow, though Managing director Park yells at her not to phone call them and tell them she's coming. The location looks bully, though Managing director Park criticizes everything, and even throws and spits food at her caterers.
She lists several customer complaints, angry that they go along making the aforementioned mistakes repeatedly, then rounds on Hae-young to say sarcastically that hey, at least the rice was expert. She blames Hae-young for everything, since this is her location to manage, and Hae-young is still upset that evening when they all get out after work.
Her coworker tries to cheer her upwardly, but Hae-young is feeling too pathetic after being harangued by Director Park all day. She drinks too much and goes outside for some air, and mouths off when Director Park comes out equally well, saying that once once again she'southward leaving before everyone else.
She wonders out loud what it must feel similar to simply choice a fight with someone without worrying what might happen, and ends up screaming drunkenly in frustration. Managing director Park is merely as drunkard and tells Hae-young to bring it, kick her heeled pes right in Hae-young's face.
She easily Hae-young her water bottle, so does a spin-kick and knocks it neatly out of her paw, which would be impressive fifty-fifty if she weren't drunkard. Hae-young goes from aggressive to whiny, all Why are you lot ever picking on meeee??, and Manager Park says that it's because she's a bad shop manager, and because she canceled her hymeneals at the last infinitesimal.
Hae-young can't figure out why Director Park cares so much about that, and Director Park'south demeanor goes suddenly soft as she says, "I was looking forward to the buffet at the hotel. I didn't consume the dark earlier." Ha, she'south a caterer — information technology would be near the nutrient.
Hae-young staggers her way towards home, and finally lets herself recollect about her broken appointment. The truth is that it wasn't mutual — her fiance, HAN TAE-JIN (Lee Jae-yoon), broke things off past saying that he didn't beloved her enough to marry her.
He'due south not unkind, simply his argument that he tin't stand to watch her consume is pretty hurtful anyway. They'd sabbatum in silence for a long time, and finally Hae-young had asked if they could at least tell people that she had canceled the wedding, to save her pride.
It all rushes dorsum to Hae-young now, and she sobs loudly as she walks dwelling house, feeling the embarrassment and hurt all over once more.
Do-kyung stands at an overlook with his headphones on, and has another vision of Hae-young. This time he can hear her vocalisation saying, "I'grand not dying," and he wonders to himself who she is.
Practise-kyung has a meeting the next day, who just so happens to exist Hae-young'southward friend Hee-ran. She says she'south coming together her friend afterwards, the one she told him got dumped the day before their wedding. Her words seem to stir upwardly some negative emotions for Exercise-kyung, and he goes a lilliputian pale when she says her friend's name — Oh Hae-immature.
When Exercise-kyung hears that Hae-immature is here at present, he gets upwardly to leave without a word. He'due south practically running, and as he gets to the door he crashes hard into Hae-immature on her mode in. His previous vision plays out every bit she lifts her caput and her nose is bleeding, and Do-kyung's optics go wide to see the adult female from his visions finally in front of him.
Hae-young is oblivious to the fact that she's merely rocked Do-kyung'southward world, and she asks angrily what her friend'south been telling him about her. Practice-kyung just finishes his escape, overwhelmed by meeting her in person.
He remembers seeing the name "Oh Hae-immature" pop upwardly on Hee-ran'southward phone earlier, when she'd once worked on a project at his company. Seeing the proper noun had triggered the retentiveness of another woman, the one who'd said that his heartbeat was the best audio in the world, and Do-kyung had been rattled to hear that Hee-ran had a friend named Oh Hae-young who was engaged.
Do-kyung had thought it was the woman he knew, and he'd asked what schoolhouse they went to together. Now, having met Hee-ran's friend and realizing that she's not the Oh Hae-immature he thought she was, he finds the school yearbook and looks her upwards. He sees that at that place were two girls with that name who went to that high school — one of them is his ex, and the other is the Oh Hae-young he just met, the one from his visions.
This is bad because, going on the misinformation that Tae-jin was actually engaged to the other Oh Hae-immature, Do-kyung and Jin-sang (who'due south a lawyer) had sought out Hae-immature's fiance Tae-jin and washed something to ruin him financially. Nosotros don't know what or how, exactly, just they realize now that he was engaged to the other Hae-immature.
Jin-sang makes some calls, and finds out that Tae-jin bankrupt up with his fiance the day before their wedding ceremony. His business had gone bankrupt (due to whatever they did to him) and he was well-nigh to go to jail, so he'd fix Hae-young complimentary rather than drag her down with him.
Both Jin-sang and Practise-kyung feel terrible near what they did, thinking that he was engaged to the other Hae-young. Practise-kyung softly says that he's seen this other Hae-young, in his head, nodding when Jin-sang asks if he's some kind of psychic.
Hae-young keeps upwardly a cheerful face when she's with Hee-ran, just in one case she's walking home alone, she stalls out again, right in the heart of the street. She stands with the cars rushing all effectually her, simply as she did in Exercise-kyung'southward vision.
Do-kyung gets out of Jin-sang'due south car, wanting to walk habitation himself, and Jin-sang tells him that they'll effigy out a way to brand their mistake correct. Jin-sang has to double back when he realizes that Do-kyung left his wallet in the machine, and tosses it then that it lands in the street. He'southward not the brightest bulb, this guy.
Practice-kyung is forced to dauntless traffic to get his wallet back, simply he freezes when he sees Hae-young walking beyond the road nearby. She blithely retrieves his wallet and brings it back to him and says, "I'm not dying," recreating his vision of her perfectly.
COMMENTS
I like it.
I take rarely been so quickly and instantly enchanted past a drama, merely Oh Hae-young Once more grabbed my attention from the very first minute. That opening scene with Hae-young walking down the windy street and Practice-kyung creating her sound effects was non only clever and interesting, it was absolutely lovely. The scene later on with Do-kyung listening to the different cafe sounds was as well quiet impressive, and very artistic. The apply of light and shadows throughout the episode is quite gorgeous, and the dreamy scenes of Practise-kyung's visions are as soft and exquisite as they are mysterious. Beautiful cinematography isn't usually something I await for as an essential component of a rom-com, merely when information technology adds as much to the storytelling as information technology is here, it gives me shivers of something special to come up.
Bated from that, the prove also has an interesting sense of balance that I find intriguing — it's got a salubrious dose of humor forth with some stiff, serious content, and manages to include both without making the testify feel disjointed or awkward. The transitions between moods are shine and easy. The humor mostly seems centered around Hae-young while Practice-kyung's scenes comport an ominous overtone, enhanced past his mysterious visions, merely I don't find that the dichotomy makes the show feel off-kilter similar it would in less skilled directorial hands. The PD's final drama was the hilarious and heartwarming Wedlock Not Dating, which I as well felt had this same wonderful sense of balance in its romantic and comedic areas, and so far this drama is shaping up to accept that same "feel," with wonderful characters and incredibly addictive ambiance.
But the characters are the all-time thing most it, particularly our 2 leads. I really similar Hae-young at kickoff glance — she's got a spark, something special nigh her, that I attribute partly to the writing and partly to Seo Hyun-jin herself. She brings something unique to her characters, a sort of vulnerable force, if that makes sense. She e'er gives the women she plays this steel cadre, while letting them be soft and feminine at the same time, and it makes her characters extremely endearing and fun to spotter. I dearest how Hae-young just says what she's thinking, whether it's to her family, her friends, or fifty-fifty some random asshat she's been ready with (and oh homo, I've been on that exact nightmare blind date, though I left in the middle of the meal!). She'due south definitely got an insecure streak though, which especially comes out with regards to her chore and her relationship with Managing director Park, that I recall will be interesting to explore.
As much every bit Hae-young is an open book, Do-kyung is the exact reverse — he's airtight off and volatile, a perfectionist who's quick to anger. It's interesting how he works with so many of his family members yet seems to hold them all at arm'southward length, though his closer human relationship with his friend Jin-sang shows that he'due south capable of deeper friendships. We don't know a lot about him personally at this signal other than that he's suddenly having strange prophetic visions, and that they aren't e'er nigh bad or negative events. I'g dying of curiosity to know why they're happening and what they mean, what'south causing them, and why they're starting now, of all times. And to a higher place all, why is he seeing Hae-young, a woman he's never met?
Though this premiere didn't give us a lot of data about the characters or the overarching plot line, information technology did give u.s.a. enough to intrigue me and have me bouncing in my chair to meet more. Commonly I'd be wishing we'd gotten more information in a first episode (and we've barely fifty-fifty touched on the second Oh Hae-young and how she fits into all this), but in this example I feel that everything we did go was and then sleek and polished, counterbalanced with a healthy dose of sense of humour and heartwarming moments, that I'm happy with the show exactly as-is. I actually like the languid pace the show is setting right off the bat, and I'grand not leaving this get-go episode feeling equally though I'd seen more than what we've been shown and then far. Between the gorgeous cinematography, the beautiful soundtrack, Practice-kyung'southward intriguing visions and to a higher place all, the wonderfully faceted characters, I'm predicting that Oh Hae-young Again has something really amazing in store for its viewers. I've been here long enough now that I hesitate to go also excited nigh a show this early on, but this first episode has made a promise, and I can only hope with all my heart that it keeps that promise.
