Having So Ji Sub and Shin Min Ah in a drama is likely to give it a ratings advantage and that's just what happened to "Oh My Venus," which first aired on November 16.

On its first night, the KBS drama rated 7.4 percent, which was 3.2 percent higher than the final ratings for "Sassy A Go Go."

By the second night, the ratings for "Oh My Venus" had risen 0.8 percent to 8.2 percent. Those ratings were tied with the ratings earned by the MBC drama "Glamorous Temptation," starring Choi Kang Hee and Joo Sang Wook. However, "Six Flying Dragons" held the lead with ratings of 12.2 percent.

Spoiler alert: The drama started with the story of Shin Min Ah's character Kang Joo Eun. She was a beauty in high school when she met her first love, played by Jung Gyu Woon. But her dream was to become a lawyer and given the hard work it took her there, she forgot to take care of her health. She's overweight and unhappy. Her relationship is not too healthy either and probably beyond intervention.

Kang Joo Eun is on a business trip back from the U.S. when she meets So Si Sub's character Kim Young Ho. He's a little too good to be true. In the U.S. he was a trainer to the stars. He loves working out. The reluctant son of a wealthy family, he would rather pump iron than push around board members in the family business. And besides being wealthy and in great shape, he's also a doctor. What more could a woman ask for?

Well, in Shin Min Ah's case, she might ask for a first meeting that is a little less embarrassing. She faints on the airplane and Kim Young Ho has to cut her out of her corset to provide some emergency first aid. He sees her love handles before they are formally introduced and is still nice to her. He is running from a scandal with a glamorous actress but somehow feels the need to protect the plain overweight lawyer.

The drama also stars Yoo In Young as a once overweight student who slimmed down and in the process lost the nicer parts of her personality. Kim Young Ho's friends are played by Sung Hoon and Super Junior's Henry, who has plenty of lines in English.

Ban Hyo Jung plays Kim Young Ho's grandmother. She wants to see him running the company and married to a suitable woman. But so far he is not convinced.
