Oh! My Guard: Overview

What Is “Oh! My Guard” About?

Uhm Tae Bong is an A-list actor with a fatal flaw. Oh Hae Ra is a mysterious woman who believes she is Cha Hong Doo, the female lead of his drama. Their unpredictable love story blends the real world with a fictional one.

The Drama Within the Drama

The story centres on “The Prince’s Bodyguard,” a fictional hit within the show. It’s the project in which Uhm Tae Bong first took a leading role and became a top star.

The fictional plot.
Han Jung Woo is a chaebol heir whose life is under threat. After people close to him endanger him, he refuses to open his heart to anyone. Then he meets Cha Hong Doo, a secret bodyguard who can’t stand injustice. As they protect each other, romantic feelings grow.

The fictional cast.
Uhm Tae Bong plays Han Jung Woo. Song Na Ri (Park You Na), an idol-turned-actress, plays Cha Hong Doo.

A signature charm.
The drama earned Uhm Tae Bong a nickname as a master of romance dramas who never films kissing scenes. He won hearts by conveying romance through his expressive eyes alone.

Who Is Oh Hae Ra?

Oh Hae Ra is a chaebol heiress who has lived isolated from the world for a long time. She found comfort in watching “The Prince’s Bodyguard” and spent her days imagining a romance with Han Jung Woo. After an unexpected accident, she begins to believe that she is Cha Hong Doo.

What the New Stills Show?

When Oh Hae Ra meets Uhm Tae Bong in real life, she mistakes him for Han Jung Woo and declares she’ll become his secret bodyguard. She even gets angry when he fails to remember her. Meanwhile, Uhm Tae Bong can’t understand a woman who behaves like his hit drama’s female lead, so he tries to keep his distance.

The stills capture this awkward push and pull. The big question is what kind of relationship these two, tied together by a fictional drama, will build in real life.

Why It’s Worth Watching?

• A fun premise. The line between fiction and reality is blurred in a way that’s both comic and heartfelt.
• A star-meets-fan dynamic. An actor pursued by someone who believes she belongs in his story is a great engine for comedy.
• A familiar lead. Jung Yong Hwa is already known to many viewers.
