SPOILER WARNING DO NOT READ IF YOU STILL PLAN ON WATCHING THIS SERIES OR HAVENâT FINISHED IT YET!! That Man Oh Soo / Evergreenê·žëšì ì€ì / Geunamja OsuMyDramaList rating The thing I like best about having an extended drama-to-watch list is that I always have something to look forward to. Whenever I start a new drama, I always feel the thrill of starting something Iâve been looking forward to, something thatâs been on my list for a long time and I finally get to watch it. That was the same for this one. Iâm not sure where I heard or read about it, but it probably looked cute and thatâs why it went on the list. The only thing I remembered was that it was about a cafe or something with coffee. I always like to be surprised by series. So, the English title of this drama is Evergreenâ, but the literal translation of the Korean title is That Man Oh Sooâ. The story is about a young man named Oh Soo played by Lee Jong Hyun, who doesnât believe in love. Heâs a promising IT engineer who specializes in artificial intelligence. The reason he doesnât believe in love is because of a magic tree thatâs in possession of his family. In the courtyard of his house is a big tree with all sorts of colorful flowers that give off certain pollen. Oh Sooâs family is cursed with the ability to see the colors of these pollen â and also the color of peopleâs auras. Also in possession of his family is a cafe. When customers come to the cafe, Oh Soo can see their auras and based on that determines what kind of pollen he can add to their coffee. One time, he serves coffee with the love pollen to a couple from which the guy seemingly is about to propose. Instead, to everyoneâs astonishment, after drinking the coffee he suddenly breaks up with the girl and leaves her behind at the cafe. This unfortunate girl is Seo Yoo Ri played by Kim So Eun. She had been dating this guy for three years, and this was the day heâd sworn he would propose. Yoo Ri is also a police officer. After that, Oh Soo and Yoo Ri meet several times, first under not such great circumstances, but gradually they grow closer. Oh Soo finally discovers what love feels like and eventually they end up I didnât say that Oh Sooâs family was cursedâ for no reason. It turns out that, if the successor in this case Oh Soo gives coffee to the person he loves, she will end up dying. And Yoo Ri just so happens to have had a sip before. The more their relationship starts to grow, the weaker Yoo Ri becomes. In the end, it seems that the only way for her to live is for Oh Soo to sever ties with her forever, but will they be okay even after falling so passionately in love? First of all, to explain from the start Oh Sooâs family history in a nutshell he lives with his grandfather played by Park Geun Hyung and older brother Oh Ga Na played by Heo Jung Min. His grandfather and father inherited the curse of the tree, Ga Na didnât. He isnât able to see the auras or the pollen. Their father used to run the cafe. One day, in a period where his parents were fighting, Oh Soo brought a cup with love-pollen coffee that his father had made to his mother in the hope it would help them reconcile. However, this was a grave mistake. His father came too late, mom already drank the coffee. And from then on, the curse started working. Mother gradually started getting dizzy spells and got into multiple accidents. In the end, father couldnât bear it anymore and ended his own life to save his wife from suffering because of this curse. And though the curse was lifted after he literally severed ties with her, mother was so unhappy after losing her husband that she too withered away. This is what makes Oh Soo so scared of falling in love. First of all, I would like to say, it wasnât the best drama Iâve watched. There were a lot of discontinuities in the editing, the acting was occasionally sloppy and there were a lot of plotholes. However, I still enjoyed it. It was cute and a typical K-Drama romance and I really liked the main couple. I would first like to comment on the casting and the characters before I go on with some more elaborated criticism. I didnât know Lee Jong Hyun although I found out heâs a member of CNBLUE. I havenât seen any other dramas with him so I canât really judge his acting based on earlier performances, but I think he did generally first I thought Oh Soo was going to be this standard coldhearted guy only interested in work until a bright-spirited girl would show him the way of love, but heâs actually really pure. He explains in the beginning that he doesnât believe in love, that it only distracts people, etcetera etcetera, but in the end I think that heâs actually afraid of love rather than that he doesnât believe in it. Because when he does fall in love himself he doesnât attempt to get rid of his feelings, he actively pursues them. Heâs just never experienced it before, and thatâs why itâs easy to say he doesnât believe in him. The only example he has is of his parents, which ended cruelly because of the treeâs the angsty background story I thought he was a real bean, trying to hide his smiles when watching Yoo Ri and trying to create as many opportunities as possible to be near her. Living in the same neighborhood, a day wouldnât usually go by without them running into each other, so that helped. And even when a love rival turns up, he doesnât back off and only works harder to be there for Yoo Ri instead of the other guy. The only other role Iâve seen of Kim So Eun is in Boys Over Flowers as Geum Jan Diâs best friend. It was funny to see her as a main lead, although I wasnât very impressed by her performance. In the beginning it didnât bother me that much, but I donât know, Yoo Riâs personality remained really bland to me until the end. Seo Yoo Ri is a very confident woman, sheâs been taking care of her younger sister Soo Jung played by Park Na Ye ever since her father died and her mother got admitted to the hospital. But she didnât really seem to have a social life, or any friends for that matter. The only time we see her drinking, if itâs not with either Oh Soo or Jin Woo, is with people from her neighborhood, and Iâm talking middle-aged ladies. Apart from her police work and neighborhood charity work, she didnât really seem to have a life, however cruel that may sound. There were no details to fill in to enrich her personality, like specific traits or hobbies. After finishing the series I really couldnât say what she likes or what kind of person she is. While I didnât have the second male lead syndrome watching this series, I did feel for the second male lead, because it was Kang Tae Oh. Iâve now seen three series with him in total and I just love the actor too much to dislike him. Kim Jin Woo played by Kang Tae Oh, is Yoo Riâs childhood friend who finds her again after a long time, him now being her younger sisterâs homeroom teacher. Jin Woo makes his intentions to Yoo Ri clear from the beginning, heâs also the first person to ask her out. Until the end, no matter how much he dislikes Oh Soo, he keeps supporting them and is basically the best guy friend a girl could have. If there was a second female lead, I would probably say it was Han Hyo Jin played by Kim Yeon Seo, because she went after Oh Soo in the beginning, but she ended up with his brother through a drunk one-night stand so she wasnât really a love rival and Yoo Ri never felt threatened by her. I assume that this actress is relatively new because she doesnât have her own page on dramawiki and AsianWiki only lists one other drama and movie with her. Iâve seen Heo Jung Min before in Another Oh Hae Young, where he had a similar kind of role as here â the crazy brother. I get that he has this weird thing going on and that heâs cast as a comic relief because of his hysterical acting, but I am actually really curious to see him in a serious role. The way he would sometimes just start screaming his lines started annoying me a bit, making me think why canât he just say this in a normal way?â And I personally didnât like the blond hair look on him. On the basis of beforementioned characters I will now work my way through my criticisms and take it from there. First of all, I find the whole idea of a cafe that puts stuff in your coffee to mess with your emotions without the personal permission of the customers kind of disturbing. Of course it was all innocent and it was meant to give people a nudge in the right direction, but when I thought about it I really thought, what gives these people any right to meddle in the emotional affairs of people? Especially after finding out the true nature of the tree and that it was cursed and all⊠I would not be happy if I found out I made some radical emotional decision because someone put something in my coffee without my knowledge. So there was something wrong with that whole concept. If theyâd made it a special cafe that people could go to who needed help with their emotions, okay. If you have a magic tree, add actual magic to the story. This, and the fact that the women in Oh Sooâs family his grandmother and mother were kept out of the whole curse story. They werenât allowed to know. I mean, what kind of a marriage is that? Oh Sooâs mother seriously died indirectly because of a magical curse she knew nothing about. She never knew what actually happened to her and why, she never understood why her husband killed himself and no one ever thought to include her in knowing. I donât know man, it stinks. Back to Yoo Ri, I found it weird that they only showed she was a police officer in the second or third episode. Before that, itâs not even mentioned. They just suddenly showed her in a uniform and I was like⊠uhh okay? At first I even thought they were filming a drama in the drama in which she extraâd as a police officer or something. And then thereâs the story about her not being able to drink coffee, so that her mother made a special vending machine with warm milk and stuff for her that she has to take care of now. And then sheâs drunk at the cafe and in a thirsty mood she just grabs a cup of coffee and drinks it like itâs nothing and also acts really casual about yeah I was once rushed to a hospital because a drank coffeeâ. Girl, then why are you willingly drinking the coffee? There was literally a VASE of water in front of her. Bad writing. Of course for end motives they needed her to drink some of the coffee, but it couldâve been written so much better. Also, Oh Soo not finding out what happened to that cup of coffee -although it was thrown randomly on a couch somewhere- until months later when she literally tells him she drank the coffee that one time. Bad writing. And I found it weird that the curse worked on them the same way as it did on his parents because 1. Oh Soo didnât love Yoo Ri when she drink the coffee and 2. He didnât give it to her, she drank it by accident. There were too many grey areas there. One thing that really bothered me, and I mentioned this before, was the discontinuity in a lot of scenes, especially ending scenes and opening scenes. Every episode would start with the last scene from the previous episode. For example, one episode ends with Oh Soo and Yoo Ri coming across each other on the street and Oh Soo asks Yoo Ri something. While they are staring at each other, Jin Woo approaches and joins them, showing the love triangle in an actual triangle. End. And the next episode starts with the same scene, except now Oh Soo and Yoo Ri have an entire conversation before Jin Woo joins them. Details like this confused accidentallyâ not seeing someone while they were right in front of them, a cop not recognizing a culprit without his mask though she literally held him and stood next to him and saw his eyes. Actually, this is what brings me to my next point Yoo Riâs credibility when it comes to being a cop. Because she did not seem like a good cop to me at all. In scenes where sheâd be chasing someone, she was clearly struggling. I could see that the actress did not have the stamina Yoo Ri claims to have. She literally caught the culprit of the sexual assault case and was just about to take off his mask when she fainted, but when he appears before her as a food delivery guy, she does not see anything height, eyes, whatever she WAS able to see that alarms her. She actually lets him into her house and has dinner with him. So I would say sufficient wariness as a cop no. And it annoyed me that she didnât honestly tell Oh Soo that she was having weird dizzy spells, even when he started pressing that these dizzy spells were important and dangerous. Which brings me to my next point Iâm on a roll the revelation of Oh Sooâs secret. Because as much as I liked his character, he ruined it for me when he started to do what every stupid boy in every Asian drama does when he finds out he is endangering the person he loves instead of telling them the truth, he started being an ass. He broke up with Yoo Ri out of the blue and just started making up jerk reasons for not wanting to be with her anymore. He couldâve just told her the truth, she wouldâve believed him. Because when he does tell her the truth a little later, she immediately believes him. There was absolutely no need for this unnecessary heartbreak. And it didnât solve anything, because he could push her away as cruelly as he wanted, his true feelings for her still made the curse work. So it was actually not necessary. I was so pissed at him for doing it like that. Ending it like that without a normal explanation and then still crawling back to find out how she was doing. I mean, wasnât he trying to get away from her? Anyway, it didnât work, so he couldâve just told her the truth in the first place. Because after he did that, she understood why they had to break up. I was actually happy when Jin Woo punched him in the face after he came back and asked how Yoo Ri was doing after breaking her heart. He deserved that. And he was a coward for trying to flee to Germany as an excuse to get away from her. In any case, what Iâm trying to say is that the breakup was unnecessary. My final major criticism is about the ending of the series. Oh Soo sacrificesâ himself for Yoo Ri by drinking pollen from the dead rotten black flowers of the tree to save Yoo Ri and then falls into a sleep or coma, or something that he doesnât wake up from. Yoo Ri doesnât know any better than that heâs gone to Germany. Even Ga Na calls her to say that heâs gone to Germany. The last thing we see of Oh Soo is that heâs in bed and his grandfather is shaking him, trying to wake him up to no result. Then, all of a sudden, there is a time jump to three years later. But except from Yoo Ri wearing a different uniform and another woman having a child, everything and everyone is exactly the same. Youâd say more changed in 3 years. Iâd expected Ga Na to at least have dyed his hair another color or something. Not a very succesful time jump if you canât show anythingâs changed. Anywho, we suddenly see Oh Soo back in Korea nothing is explained about what happened to him, how he got better, or anything. The only thing we learn is that he went to Germany and apparently lost part of his memories because heâs trying to find that womanâ but he doesnât know who she is. Of course, we know itâs Yoo Ri, but nothing is explained about what is going on. He still remembers his family and his colleague, but not Hyo Jin or Yoo Ri. Very weird. In the end, he finds Yoo Ri but still doesnât remember her and then lastly thereâs a scene at the sea they promised to go to together and he just smiles at her and she smiles back and they go for a walk. The end. Like. The whole series leads up to their passionate love for each other. They had a perfectly fine love story, it couldâve been wrapped so nicely, he was able to save her and himself, happy ending. Why end it in such an open and vague way?? I was so confused why they couldnât have just made it a closed ending. Their relationship was so solid, it couldâve just ended with him remembering her and it would at least have been a satisfying conclusion. Whatâs the additional meaning of leaving things open like that? I mean, of course itâs suggested he might eventually remember her or learns to know her again, but whatâs the point when he couldâve just shown up on her doorstep again, lovely kiss, and they lived happily ever after? After what they went through I wouldâve preferred them visibly ending up together for good. As Iâm approaching my conclusion, I have one more thing to comment on. There was this additional storyline about Oh Sooâs work colleague Nam Ji Seok played by Choi Dae Chul and Yoon Chae Ri or âCherryâ played by Lee Hye Ran, one of Ga Naâs former flings and Nam Ji Seokâs junior from their high school times. Even now, I have no idea what their story was about. Nam Ji Seok and Cherry meet again through Ga Na and itâs shown that Cherry used to be into Ji Seok but he turned her away. But now, after meeting again, Ji Seok starts pursuing her while Cherry is busy going on blind dates and marriage meetings because she wants to get married and have children quickly. He eventually persuades her to date him, but she gives the condition that sheâll continue to go on blind dates. It mightâve been that she liked him but didnât see a future with him because he didnât want to marry and she did⊠But then all of a sudden Ji Seok was wanting to break up with CherryâŠAnd after the three year jump Cherry had a child and Ji Seok was with him so I first thought naturally that he was the father⊠and then he turned out not to be the father and⊠I donât know what this was about. Although it could be that I did not pay enough attention to their story. In my defense, they threw a lot of storylines into the 16 episodes of this drama. Besides the main line of the relationship between Yoo Ri and Oh Soo, there was the line of the police investigation of the sexual assault culprit, Yoo Riâs mother in the hospital who had to get surgery for cancer, Soo Jung and her two friends making trouble at school, the two middle aged ladies from Yoo Riâs neighborhood who started showing up at peopleâs houses and poking their noses into everyoneâs business, the relationship between Ga Na and Hyo Jin, Yoo Ri and Jin Woo, the curse of the magical evil tree⊠There was a lot. It couldâve done with less. It had a solid enough core story, it might not have needed all these extra storylines. For example, Soo Jungâs friends and the middle aged ladies shouldnât have been made into more regular characters. They couldâve just appeared once or twice, because to me they didnât feel like truly important characters. I want to say one more thing about Jin Woo before I conclude. As I mentioned before, I might be a bit biased because of Kang Tae Oh, so I couldnât dislike Jin Woo. I felt sorry for him the whole time. I read comments from people on the episodes bashing him about being annoying and not able to take a hint and leave Yoo Ri alone, but I never thought about it like that. I mean, he is the only one in the whole series who made his intentions clear from the start about how he feels about Yoo Ri, gave her all the space she needed to be honest with him, and she never gave him a clear answer. She just kind of semi-accepted his confession and told him sheâd give him a chance, but after falling for Oh Soo she couldnât even honestly tell him she liked someone else. She just kept him on a leash the entire time until he himself came up and said You donât have to apologize, I get that youâre not in love with meâ. The scene where Yoo Ri got into an accident because of a dizzy spell and he arrived at the hospital first but she went home with Oh Soo, she didnât even say a single word to him, not even a sorry, Iâm gonna go with Oh Sooâ. Nothing. He was the best friend ever to her and she did not treat him well at all. He really deserved better than this. Okay, so despite all the criticisms listed above, I repeat that I still enjoyed watching the series. It was a cute love story. The first real kiss between Oh Soo and Yoo Ri was super satisfying and real and even though the writing and the characters werenât all as well established, apart from the above-listed confusions it didnât take away the fun of watching. I just think they took a lot on their plate in terms of things they wanted to throw into the story while it wouldâve been very nice in its simplicity of being a romantic comedy. The next drama on my list is, I think, going to be really angsty, so Iâll be back with another review another time! Keep you posted!

That Man Oh Soo has turned out to be a habit-forming romantic comedy for its fans this year. Credit to its commitment to generously give sweet moments for the watchers to just smile and feel giddy-ish. Title That Man Oh Soo/Evergreen Distributor OCN Theme Romance, Fantasy Length 16 Broadcast Date 05 Mar 2018 â 28 Apr 2018 Main Leads Lee Jong Hyun, Kim So Eun, Kang Tae Oh, Huh Jung Min Overall Rating Re-watch Value Plus Factors Romantic Comedy Hook, Memorable On-screen love pairing Oh No Moments Safe ending Related Dramas Operation Proposal In terms of making the viewers feel good, I would give an almost perfect score on how the writing for That Man Oh Soo is focused â making the love happen for the lead couple, as expected for fan service-oriented K-Dramas. That Man Oh Soo Finale Week Recap Yoo Ri learns about the supernatural curse which pushed Oh Soo to break up with her. In order to protect the woman he loves, he resorts to an irreversible antidote that eventually wipes out his 28 years of memory. Three years after, Oh Soo returns from Germany looking for a missing piece he feels inside his heart that his memory cannot reveal.

He bumps onto Yoo Ri, who has been using the closed cafe as a hangout whenever she wallows in loneliness. Drunk Yoo Ri thinks that Oh Soo has just visited her in her dream so she clings for him not to leave. The next day she wakes up with a smile on her face. Yoo Ri ends up in the beach where she last created a beautiful memory with Oh Soo. When she stands up to leave, she sees Oh Soo smiling at her. He invites her for a coffee as they walk side by side at the beach. That Man Oh Soo Episode Recap Links Episodes 1&2, 3&4, 5&6, 7&8, 9&10, 11&12, 13&14 Highlights Mushy Romance Hook Viewers would definitely admit how That Man Oh Soo drew its following because of the cheesy love lines and heart fluttering scenes. A rom-com staple that when hit accurately would definitely make the audience yielding to dismiss whatever nonsense the plot of the story may arise to. That is exactly what happened in the waning moments of the story when the supernatural element of the story saddened the romantic buildup which took almost 90% of the story. The happier notes of the narrative cushioned the tail end depressing spurt because of the amount of candied memories provided by the love pairing. Lee Jong Hyun & Kim So Eun It is easy to love OCNâs second romance drama this year, no matter how predictable it is, owing to the main leadsâ undeniable on-screen chemistry. Kim So Eunâs talent and devotion to suit up for her role is evidently displayed. Lee Jong Hyun puts up an adorable male lead, who has calculated well the best angles in strengthening the heart-fluttering frames, which are dependent to the heroâs timing and interpretation. Excellent Supporting Cast That Man Oh Soo made use of its small cast to the fullest. Special mentions to actors Kang Tae Oh and Huh Jung Min whose characters deserve to be applauded. Jin Woo and Ga Na have owned their personas well enabling them to stand out in the story. Drawback Last minute supernatural spurt Banking on the memorable and candied romantic story, as a fervent K-drama viewer, I accepted the trite ending. If truth be told, and if you have religiously followed it, itâs easy to give a free pass on whatever path the closure took as long as it turns out to be blissful. *wink No matter how crazy and how forceful the last minute supernatural spurt appeared to be, it stood benefiting on the established glorious moments of the story. That being said, we wish the story ran longer to compensate the problematic fantasy inclusion, which halted the endearing bread and butter frames of the story. Plot Summary A man, who inherited the ability to induce romance by adding magical love pollens on the coffee served by his family owned cafe, finds the meaning of true love when he is forced to confront that his destiny would endanger the life of the first woman he has ever loved. Recommendation That Man Oh Soo is a light and comforting watch perfect for rom-com cravers. Though it struggled at its end game, it is the kind of drama that you would rerun due to its sweet scenes. However, we wish it could have ended on a spree of more sweet notes after pulling the amnesia trick, since for the majority of its run, the drama was strongest on the love coupleâs saccharine frames. But then again, we were delighted for the most parts of the story, and thatâs all that matters. All photos from OCN.InfoDrama That Man Oh Soo .

That Man Oh Soo Korean Drama The Man Oh Soo is an exceptional romance fantasy that has captured the hearts of many a female viewer and some of the male ones too. This is considered to be one of the best romantic comedy series that has come out of SK for quite a while. This series is the product of OCN distributes, and its cast includes Lee Jong Hyun, Kim So Eun, Kang Tae Oh and Huh Jung Min. The length of this series is 16 episodes, and its full title is That Man Oh Soo Evergreen The producers and director went the happy ending way with this comedy romance, and it delivers on all scores, which basically means itâs a great series to alleviate sadness and take away the blues. It is designed to make you laugh and smile, especially if you have a tub of ice cream in your lap. Here is the storyline. Oh Soo is a cafĂ© owner that adds special magical pollen to the coffee he serves in his cafĂ©, not truly understanding love, he eventually finds out the hard way when he has to resort to the supernatural to protect his love. Now, letâs jump to the last episodes. Yoo Ri, our female lead learns that her male lead Oh Soo broke up with her to protect her, and fled to Germany where he used a supernatural curse that made him forget 28 years of memory, so basically, he knows nothing, but still feels something is missing. Three years after taking on this drastic remedy, he comes back home. In the meantime, Yoo Ri has been advancing in her career but has been sad all the time. Her friend Jin Woo is concerned that she still thinks too much about Oh Soo, which is the reason for her sorry emotional state. Obviously, the story would not get a good grade if it didnât supply the surprise, and it does when Yoo Ri bumps into Oh Soo in the closed cafĂ© they used to hang out a lot. She thinks itâs a dream, especially since she is drunk at the time. The next day she decides to go to the beach, and there she meets Oh Soo again, this time he invites her to a coffeeâŠand that is the final cut. Romance and Comedy This show is definitely a âcheesyâ love comedy and is rampant with the heart-fluttering scenes and standard punchlines. As such, the show is able to survive the daft supernatural sadness and leave viewers wanting more. After all, we want a happy ending, but in the story, the happy ending is still around the corner. Leading Performance There is no doubt that the success of this rom-com is due to the amazing acting skills of both the male and female lead actors. Kim So Eunâs talent is apparent, and her devotion is well suited to bringing out a strong lead role. Lee Jong Hyun acts out his role perfectly and uses all the angles and timing to create a heart-fluttering male role. Remember, comedy is not about the punchline, itâs about the timing and delivery. Great Supporting Cast While the leading roles were performed perfectly, they would not have been as successful without a great supporting cast, and Kang Tae Oh, Huh Jung Min, Jin Woo, and Ga Na all took on and owned their personas perfectly, delivering a cohesive stage. The Supernatural It was that last-minute decision to use a supernatural memory wiping solution that ruined the show, in my opinion, in a rom-com, there should be no serious and sinister side effects, this is not a thriller. So, the writers must have got confused when they took a light-hearted and funny show and turned it into a serious thriller with fantastical convolutions. The bottom line is that The Man Oh Soo is a great series, a wonderful rom-com with a lot of the fantastic that makes younger teenager girly girls swoon while laughing into their bowl of ice cream. Oh, and an occasional scream is also endeared here. BvaG.that man oh soo ending
