She played a single mother who rediscovers love in A Second Proposal,[5] a discontented housewife in a rivalry with a top ballerina in The Queen Returns,[6][7] and was cast as strong, supporting characters in the historical dramas Jumong,[8] and Gyebaek.[9] But Oh became best known for memorably portraying married women exploring adultery in the dark melodramas Bitter Sweet Life,[10][11] and Bad Guy.[1][12][13][14][15][16][17]
