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!
