She played a single mother who rediscovers love in A Second Proposal,[4] a discontented housewife in a rivalry with a top ballerina in The Queen Returns,[5][6] and was cast as strong, supporting characters in the historical dramas Jumong,[7] and Gyebaek.[8] But Oh became best known for memorably portraying married women exploring adultery in the dark melodramas Bitter Sweet Life,[9][10] and Bad Guy.[11]
