Also, I really loved that the weight loss achieved by Joo Eun was realistic, reasonable, and done for health reasons, not vanity or vengeance. I think it really delivered a great message. Especially since her weight issues derived from medical issues and lifestyle habits, not out of pure laziness (which is something people may say to overweight individuals without knowing the entire situation or considering other factors).
I would recommend it to anyone who wants a light drama, with good laughs ("hey ma'am!"), sweet moral lessons, an amazing OST, and a steamy romance. AND I would absolutely watch again. I actually find myself watching clips from it often because it was so entertaining.

Story:
A plot that speaks of an important subject, in a light, positive and relaxed way. I liked the fact that they fled aspects that appear very much in k-dramas: violent/abusive attitudes. Perhaps these are common features in Korean culture, but for someone on the other side of the world, slapping faces, humiliations (in public or not), bosses / family / partners who yell, pull on the arm, push ...is not good to watch (for me). THEN, I find it very cool that this drama doesn't have in its plot the typical line of the poor girl / naive / half dumb + the arrogant / abusive chaebol, nor have a super restrictive family that does everything not to leave the girl with the heir, and try to marry him at all costs with another ... things like that. In my opinion, the drama already deserves a very high score for this.
Negative point: Possibly, due to the Korean beauty pattern and the pressures of the society, the person can not "feel" beautiful and well, or be healthy, being chubby. I felt the story put it can only be healthy by losing weight. Of course there are cases and cases, but thinking about the side of someone who lives healthy and feel beautiful, and yet has the "big" body ... this person can get angry watching this, due to how the story deals with the theme .
Acting/Cast:
Just great! The chemistry between the main couple, and the secondary ones. Overall, it was quite natural.
Music:
To me, is the is the smallest score.Not that the OST was bad, just not remarkable. Writing this review, I cannot automatically remember any of the drama's music and that's the point. Other dramas, when I think of them, some of the songs soon begin to play in my mind. With that, it was not so..
Rewatch Value:
Worth it. When I am stressed, needing to see something that enlightens my spirit, and retake this drama ... I don't disappoint.

It had a brilliant cast, with So Ji Sub and Shin Min Ah nothing could go wrong. I love SJS and was amazed by his acting in this drama, I really think his acting has grown since the rigid acting in Master's Sun. Also there were a lot of hot moments with SJS in this drama, which I was over the moon about! (;
At first I didn't like the idea of shin min ah with SJS since I loved him with Gong Hyo Jin the most, but wow these two blew me away with their chemistry! I guess that's why they won best couple award. Also Shin Min Ah is an amazing actress as we all know.
The story was funny and kept me wanting more however there were a lot of times where I didn't know what the writer was doing, or how things tied together. E.g the random stalker. But overall the main plot was good. Strangely enough the secondary couple and plot was all over the place and felt very separate to the main plot. Usually their stories are better developed but the main cast and story dazzled in comparison.
I will definitely watch this drama again, in fact I already find myself missing it.

The main leads were amazing. Loved the chemistry between So Ji Sub and Shin Min Ah...they were so sweet and adorable! As many reviewers have mentioned that the story line was very simple but it was the development of their relationship that made it so wonderful to watch.
I only started watching k-dramas about 2 years ago and I'm embarrassed to admit that I've watched over 100 k-dramas and I would definitely put this one on my Top 20 list for romance Korean dramas.
For those of you who just started watching Korean dramas, I would highly recommend this drama unless you're not a big fan of romance stories. If you like this one, you should also watch "Crash Landing on You", "Healer", "WWW", "Fight My Way" and "Because This is my First Life".

Oh my Venus
Entretenido, divertido, atrapante y ligero de ver.La verdad al inicio tenía mis dudas sobre el drama, porque creí que mostrarían la obesidad como algo malo por simple estética. Sin embargo, me gustó mucho que no fuera así (aunque en varias ocasiones sí llegan a hacer pocos comentarios cuestionables), sino que se habla de la importancia de cuidarte a ti y a tu cuerpo, de mantenerte activo para evitar enfermedades, como en el caso de la protagonista.
El romance va de a poco y m encantó eso. Aparte hay varias escenas con doble sentido que me hicieron reír demasiado.
Es muy bueno, me gustó muchísimo.

This was my first time watching these two casts. Believe me they did an awesome job of their roles. Chemistry was such that it would make you fall in love with 'love' again. If you know what I mean. Storyline was simple and something that people can relate to todays modern world; weight loss, medical and family issues. But there were some 'otherworldly' moments. Such as jujitsu scenes!However, something that bugged me was the 192 unread text messages within a year. Disregard of my situation, I would have died of curiosity to read those, especially if I am lying sick on bed for months. And I liked the message given at the end, 'if you are hurt, share it with your partner.'
This is one of the very few dramas that has made it to my 'rewatch list'.

Many people argue between 'She is pretty' & 'Oh my venus' I attempted to watch both and personally prefer 'Oh my venus'. I think OMV fits a more mature audience, and SIP is more for younger viewers. Anyhow, Oh my Venus has a great plot and excellent actors/ eye candy I recommend people to must watch this!

Overall: enjoyed this a lot, will probably watch againLiked:
The main romance. It felt natural and believable and funny and sweet. Both actors were adorable and excellent. So Ji Sub has this 'vulnerable' face he does that just... melted me. Shin Min Ah's dimples and 'determined' face were very appealing too. They didn't do the 'frozen kiss' thing, and had fairly realistic, nice love scenes; and they didn't do too much of the self-sacrificing thing, aside from his hospital trip, which was kind of weird but made at least some dramatic sense given that he'd always dealt with pain alone - and that wasn't dragged out for too long.
The buds. Loved the boys. Her best friend and the 'growing sprout' were nicely done too, and his relationship with his secretary/minder/whatever was quite touching.
The families - her mother was very cute, his father and grandma were believable (I didn't care much about the rest)
Her job. She had a good reason for becoming a lawyer and had worked hard and struggled for it, and was supporting vulnerable women.
Her 'health journey' - I found it believable and fairly inspirational (I ate a few cleaner lunches while watching it) and liked that it focused (mostly) on improving her health.
The make-up for both leads - she looked genuinely chubby and he looked genuinely as though he had been ill a lot.
Disliked:
Way too many flashbacks. So much use of the skip button. Worst thing about it.
The secondary romances. Ex-bf and ex-friend were really annoying and boring, and the girl who kept hitting on RFC Champ dude just felt like a stalker.
The music was overdone in a lot of scenes, but most especially with the flashbacks.
I have a personal beef with 'just eat it!' for foods that might make a person sick.

Me encantó
Cómo persona gorda que ha sufrido toda la vida de eso, pensé en quizás no darle la oportunidad, pero el k-drama es bellísimo. Enseña muchísimas cosas, lo único que no me gustó fue el final final, además la repetidera de recuerdos tiende a ser muy cansona. La pareja secundaria pudieron abordarla de manera diferente, realmente no me mató, solo por eso no es un 10.❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
