Oh My Venus (Season 1)

Oh My Venus (오 마이 비너스, 2015) is a South Korean romantic comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, starring So Ji-sub and Shin Min-a. The 16-episode series was directed by Kim Hyung-suk and Lee Na-jeong.

Kang Joo-eun was the campus beauty everyone remembered. At 33, she's a sharp lawyer who let her health slide under the weight of overwork — and just got dumped by her boyfriend of fifteen years. Kim Young-ho is a celebrity fitness trainer who looks effortlessly put-together and carries a childhood injury he'd rather not talk about. When their paths cross, he takes on her transformation as a professional challenge; neither of them plans for what follows.

The show is smarter than its premise sounds. Weight loss is the surface story, but the real subject is two people learning to trust someone new after years of private damage. So Ji-sub and Shin Min-a have an easy, unhurried chemistry that rewards sitting through all 16 episodes. Stream Oh My Venus online on iFILM.
