You know what they say: One man�s teaser is another man�s workout. No, seriously, this new teaser clip for KBS�s upcoming rom-com Oh My Venus is just a bunch of shots of its star, So Ji-sub, pumping iron. Huh. Sure, he does it very well�some of those moves look equal parts awe-inspiring and painful. And So Ji-sub does play a fitness trainer in the drama, so it�s not like it�s entirely irrelevant. It�s just that the video looks pretty slapdash for a teaser, though I�m sure the drama will be following up with more proper ones soon enough.
Oh My Venus is calling itself a health and healing romantic comedy, using a diet challenge as its central conceit. Its heroine, played by Shin Mina, was once a popular beauty in her high school years, but has grown heavier and less attractive in adulthood. I�m trying really hard not to cringe at the premise alone (much less throw things at it), and am hoping that there�s more to the plot than a beautifying regimen.
There has to be more to it, right? You don�t just cast two stunning stars and then waste them on silly plots with little meaning, do you (�Warm and Cozy)? Well, the starpower is enough to get me hoping the drama turns out well, and I�ll just remind myself repeatedly that another drama with a similar-sounding premise, She Was Pretty, turned out to be a much more pleasant surprise than its she-was-pretty-and-now-is-ugly setup. There is always hope! And when hope fails you, there is internet rage.
Oh My Venus follows Sassy Go Go and premieres as a KBS Monday-Tuesday drama on November 16
