As I write my short review for this drama, I was thinking
why did I start watching this?
That was probably when I was bored and really was looking
for my dose of Korean drama and ended up watching Can We Get Married?. I first
recognized Jung So Min from Bad Guy and Playful Kiss, which is why I probably
decided to watch this.
I got hooked from the very first episode because the story
is more realistic that the usual K-Drama I have watched. No magic spells or
flying objects, no overly rich characters or the super perfect boy next door
that every girl wished of. It tells more about the reality among couples and
families, how they manage their life and how they cope up with it.
Our first couple Hye Yun and Jung Hoon is the main leads
here. Hye Yun is from a poor family where she was raised by her overly annoying
mother. She has inferiority complex and envied his boyfriend’s family because
they seemed perfect. Jung Hoon, raised from a rich family and work as a toy
designer. He’s the guy who is willing to do everything for her manipulating girlfriend,
Hye Yoon. Their relationship was perfect for them until it starts to drip off after
they planned to get married. Personality issues, social status and annoying
mother from both sides are among the reasons. I was glad my mom is not like their
mother.
Dong Bi and Gi Joong, best friends of the main leads, are
both from rich family. They are dating for 5 years and broke up when the guy
was set up to marry someone else as business engagement. Deul Rae and Min Ho
are the late bloomer couple. They are less problematic and happy go lucky pair
which I think that gives humor to this drama. Hae Jin and Do Hyun are the
problematic couples undergoing divorce trial. These two are the most
complicated pair in this drama. Dr. and Mrs Ha, parents of Jung Hoon, are the
lovely couple in this drama. They are old but still really love each other.
They are the perfect picture for Grow Old
with You relationship. Deul Ja, Hae Yun and Hye Jin mother, is I think the
antagonist and the cause of the problem in this drama. She is very annoying and
always wears those vibrant blue eye shadows which she thinks really look good
on her. She deserved her ending in the drama. NOTE: She didn’t die! :)
I am glad I watched this drama. It’s not a waste of my time
because as I watched it, I got lessons learned. Congratulations to the writer
and staffs. It was a really great drama!
