After the first episode, I was still debating about whether I wanted to continue watching this drama. It was only so-so with little excitement, plus I wasnt sure if it will proceed as a child centric drama. The only draw was Hayami Mokomichi that kept me going to the following epi. However, after persisting to episode 2, I am still rather undecided, though inclined to continue watching it when I am free.
OH My Girl 01 Review
Basically an intro the character backgrd.
Yamashita Kotaro (mokomichi) was living a peaceful life as a publisher part-timer aspiring to be a mobile phone novelist until his six-year-old celebrity niece Ann is shoved into his life, accompanied by Ann's stern (annoying) manager Mineko. Forced to live under the same roof as the little prodigy, their differences soon manifest and disputes ensue...
During an disagreement, Kotaro told Ann that her mum had abandoned her and Ann ran away. Kotaro in the search of his niece, chanced by the voice recording from Ann to her mother's mobile and discovered Ann's inner loneliness and longing for her mother. As such, he made the decision to accept Ann into his life and care for her, and her dog Biwa.
Oh My Girl 02 Review
The story revolved Kotaro being forced to move (kicked out by landlord) within 3 days when he was discovered to be keeping a dog in his flat which was against the rules. The dog discovery was made when Ann's manager Mineko kicked up a stinker at the landlord and demanded that he solved the "rat/ mouse" issue in Kotaro flat.
Ignoring all requests from Mineko to move to Ann's mother's flat, Kotaro rather took on extra night shift as labourer to earn extra income to move to another older but affordable rental unit. Ann showed no obvious sign of distress and agreed to move so long as she could have her bed and dog, despite Mineko's huge protest about the unsuitability of the older unit.
Kotaro was excited about his first big official assignment project about interview of a school musical band, and their last performance in a parade before the school gets torn down. the night before the event, he was sharing the piece of news with Ann over dinner when he received a call from the school band teacher. Unexpectedly, the weather forecast 70% chance of rain and the parade will be called off as the children cannot perform in the rain! Kotaro was hugely distressed as he had not prepared for a backup plan/ article and was reprimanded by his editor.
That night, heavy rain poured and Kotaro fell asleep at his desk while praying for a sunny day the next day. When his notebook dropped, Ann picked it up and saw his greatest wish for fine weather and she made a decision.
The next day, Kotaro was excited about the sunny weather and happily went on with his interview. Ann on the hand fainted on set and was hospitalised. Mineko called Kotaro who refused to rush to hospital immediately as Ann was asleep already and he had to finish his assignment. When he arrived, he had a huge fight with Mineko and left. While packing for the move, he chanced upon the handmade"good weather" toy hanging by the window. Ann had stayed up the whole night praying for sunny weather for Kotaro. Realising his wrong assumptions about Ann, he raced to the hosiptal and apologised to a sleeping Ann.
When Ann was discharged, her manager brought her to the Kotaro's empty apartment and told her that Kotaro must have selfishly left Ann behind and went ahead to the new rented place. Hence she convinced Ann to move back to her own place and Mineko offered to stay with her and look after her instead. Ann quietly went along.
While waiting for the cab driver to issue the receipt, Ann looked up and saw the weather toy she made for Kotaro hanging by her own balcony! She happily dashed back and found Kotaro inside unpacking the boxes, as well as her dog Biwa. Kotaro had decided to think of Ann's emotional state and put aside his own personal resentment against his sister, thus moving in to Ann's place. Meanwhile, Mineko had to live with them as she had already return her own rented apartment!
