With a premise so shallow and mercenary—young women will go out of their way to watch cute guys, dontchya know—who would have guessed that there would be more to tvN’s Oh Boy! series of dramas than broad comedy and wish-fullfilment girl porn? (Not that there would have been anything wrong with that, necessarily.)
But it turns out that each of this series’ three installments has a lot
more to offer—edgy production values, nuanced characters, and real
insight into what it means to be young and searching for a
future in today’s world.
So let’s take a
moment to appreciate the most stunning recent development in drama
land: every single one of tvN’s Oh boy! shows is
actually good.
