Oh My Venus is a South Korean television series, airing from the 16th of November 2015 and ending on the 5th of January 2016. The series was written by Kim Eun-ji and directed by Kim Hyun-suk. The series ran for 16 episodes, airing on Monday's and Tuesday on KBS2, with each episode lasting around 60 minutes.

Shin Mina underwent heavy make-up and costuming for her role as the overweight Kang Joo-eun. Before each filming session, she underwent 3 hours of make-up that included attaching a silicon mask formed from her face, as well as a fat suit and padded clothing, that were also used to create the appearance of a heavy 30-something.
I had an email from Netflix suggesting this series for me and the synopsis said "Dumped by her boyfriend of 15 years for gaining weight, a lawyer gets help from a hotshot personal trainer to get in shape and turn her life around." I called how the series would end and I pretty much guessed it correctly. Even though I thought the series would be predictable, I still really enjoyed the plot. I really disliked characters Im Woo-sik and Oh So-jin, being a woman that has been scorned in the past, I couldn't help watching them thinking neither of them deserved to be happy for what they did to someone they claimed to love and care about. On the other hand I have to say my favourite characters weren't even the lead characters but 2 of the supporting cast, I absolutely loved Sung Hoon and Henry Lau's characters, they really brought the comedy to the series. I think the plot seems to run at an even pace, it's not too fast and it's not too slow, but I couldn't help thinking that at the end of the series that Kim Young-ho seemed to think being skinny was being healthy, which isn't always the case. I really enjoyed So Ji-sub and Shin Mina's acting and I don't think any other actors could have played their characters any better. There are plenty of moments that make you hold your breath, inwardly cringe and grin like a Cheshire cat. If you're a fan of chick flicks then I really recommend this series, it's basically a woman scorned finding her feet and who she is again, so she can move on with her life and fall in love again.
I've noticed that even though when I watch films that are in the Horror, thriller and action genre, when it comes to Korean dramas, I really enjoy and prefer romance dramas.
