I went into Oh Boy, Was I Wrong About Her expecting another cute childhood-friends romance where the main joke would wear thin after three or four episodes. Somehow, I was completely wrong. By the time Episode 12, “A Fresh Start,” arrived on September 21, 2026, I was sitting there thinking, “Wait, that’s it?” And honestly,…
