I have the impression that this drama is undeservedly underestimated. It is also not worth overestimating it, but still, in comparison with other Korean series, a little surprised by the low rating and low interest in it.
It’s possible that the main reason is that we have a rather complicated story... at times a funny and sometimes very sad love story of middle-aged people. There are no flower boys and bell girls, which are so famous for Asian TV series. This is probably the reason for this attitude towards Ohlala Couple.
I confess, when I started watching the series, I wanted to throw a couple of times, because I was very annoyed by the behavior of husband Ye Ok Su Nam. The description says that “...Soo-Nam and Yo-Ok suddenly discover that their family life is boring and uninteresting...” In fact, everything in the drama is much deeper and more tragic, I just couldn’t help but sympathize with Yeok, who did so much for her family and took it all for granted and even for a person she was not considered. The first series is a melodrama, which is also not very typical for dramas, but then the comedy begins. Therefore, deciding to watch this series or not, it is better to watch series 3 and then everything will be clear to you.
The minuses include too much tragedy, which is not clear why mixed, here right through one fatally ill were, as well as the outcome. I won’t reveal the finale, but I certainly hoped things would turn out differently, but given that this is a Korean drama where family values above all hope were not enough, and of course it did not come true.
If we talk about actors, they are quite average, not outstanding, not particularly memorable. Kim Jong-un played Ye Ok well, outplayed, of course, but this is the norm for Asian actors, but after relocation she was irritated by not being able to convey male character and behavior. Shin Hyun Joon seemed to me more talented, at first I despised him, then laughed from the heart at his femininity in the form of a wife, but I think he was too carried away because in the end he looked like a man with a non-traditional orientation. I can not say anything about Han Jae A, because in every drama there is a character with dog eyes and a pityful expression, I do not think that she deserves special attention and certainly she did not cause sympathy for her I wanted to just strangle her many times, a mistress who does not have a drop of pride - it is simple. It is also difficult to talk about San Wu Han, his character of course was pleasant to me, such a gentle caring man, but the actor himself looked a little strange, constantly frozen expression on his face.
In short, I wrote a lot, since there is something to write, and this is already “+” and I described only a small part, whether you like the drama or not it is up to you to decide, but attention is worth it.
