                                                           Sometimes called
                                                           "Another Miss Oh".

As of episode 3 or 4 they decide to play
"let's pile on the coincidences!"

    The female lead decides to finally move to Seoul,
    and gets a cheap room in a house-- which she
    discovers is *on the other side of the wall*       Then there are other
    from the male lead!  Oh my!                        things involving the
                                                       male leads ex-girlfriend
    Oh, and the male lead has some roomates... one     showing up in the
    of them is the female leads boss!  Oh my!          female leads life at
                                                       work... I have trouble
                                                       remembering them all.

                                                       Then, the male lead's
                                                       mom turns out to be
                                                       chasing the ex-
                                                       girlfriends ex-husband.


                                                    They have a character
    I started looking at this                       comment: "There are too
    show because I saw an                           many coincidences here."
    article complaining about
    "The Goblin" being just                         Clearly they're doing this
    being another example of                        crap on purpose. Seeing how
    "cinderella syndrome".  It                      much they can get away
    claimed this show as a                          with?  Playing it as an
    contrary example, featuring                     in-joke?
    a "flawed but likeable"
    female protagonist...                           (You know, there's that bit
                                                    in "Blazing Saddles": "But
    This "likeable" woman is a                      that sounds like something
    whiner who keeps getting                        out of a bad movie?!")
    drunk constantly because her
    boyfriend broke up with her.


         Some of the better material in this show
         involves the male lead's job: he's a foley
         artist with a captial "A", who's tremendously
         fussy about doing this just right, using
         actual sound recordings without much digitial
         sample manipulations.

         There are some silly jokes where he complains
         about one of his staff trying to use a daytime
         recording of background noises for a night
         time scene-- he insists that things sound
         different because of the changes in air
         temperature.
