One More Happy Ending takes a fresh approach on an existing concept to inspire something extraordinary.
The newly-available husband gallivants around young women while the newly-single mom is left with two kids, barely enough alimony, not to mention a deteriorating figure from child-rearing and one too many wrinkles, spots or both.
First Impressions: How often do you watch a trailer thinking yes, yes and yes! Whoever made the drama’s teaser is pure genius because it showcased what so far the first couple episodes have proceeded to confirm (bdw, there’s a music video too).
Casting was spot on with Jung Kyung Ho, Jang Nara, Yoo In Na and many more but of course they had to top it off with cameos from Sandara Park (2NE1) and Kim So Yeon.
I must say, Jang Nara has never looked this good in a k-drama. From Audrey Hepburn glamour to runway fashion, her styling is amazing and she looks great, truly deserving to be called a baby-faced beauty.
Honestly, the plot wasn’t all that interesting to begin with but it’s the execution that’s a winner, throwing in a farcical k-pop group and adding in all the quirky bits and pieces that make k-dramas so addictively appealing.
What should have been a sad, down in the dumps love story turns into comedy gold that’s honest to the core yet all in good fun. Is it for everyone? Probably not because it does lean towards the female demographic but you never know until you try.
One Happy Ending is getting trampled by Son’s War and Six Flying Dragons in the daily battle for ratings but I really wish people would watch it since it deserves so much better. But then again, I watch Son’s War too.
