Wedding Impossible

I don't know what the negative reviewers were expecting. This is not a light and fluffy rom com. Don't let the kooky title and intro confuse you. This is a love story for the ages. An epic, heart wrenching love that is worth sacrificing friends and family for. A passionate love that is all consuming, transcending all of society's expectations.

The male and female leads are fully committed to their roles and the chemistry is palpable between them. Moon Sang Min as the ambitious and suspicious brother-in-law to be is the shining star, although the leading lady Jeong Jeon Seo (from "Burning" fame) holds her own. This is by-and-large a family melodrama, with the romance angle building and taking over the storyline.

9/10 on the acting, directing, styling and soundtrack. Writing left a bit to be desired but all is forgiven by the ending. Don't miss this amazing drama - it will give you all the feels! I'm going to watch it again soon, just to see the full range of emotions flitting across Moon Sang Min's face. Who is this guy? He could be South Korea's James Bond - smooth, suave and sweet. A deadly combination!!

I don't like the male lead because his character is just so annoying but I love the female lead because I've seen her on thriller movies and she's really such a good kickass actress. However, even if the series was entertaining, I don't think she fits the role. I'm just not used to seeing her play an ordinary character. She fits dark and intense characters on thriller genres, particularly psychological and action thrillers. She has a unique aura and acting skills that shouldn't be on romcoms. I continued to watch this though I'm not used to her role here because her face has the kind of beauty you don't get tired of looking at. Her face doesn't have the flowery or bright type of beauty. Her beauty is more on the unique, kind of creepy, mysterious, and very intriguing type. Which for me is more beautiful than someone who looks like a doll. It was kind of awkward watching her in a romcom but I still enjoyed it. Hopefully, I'll see her in a series that suits her perfectly. Something where she gets blood on her hands, kicks a lot of ass, and freak out some people.

From the description, I was expecting fun and light rom-com. It started out that way and quickly fizzled out.

There was not any suspense, tension, or passion that kept my attention. The male lead was good looking, charming, a great voice, and you rooted for him through the story. However, the female lead became sullen and morose for half the episodes. I didn't feel like she was reciprocating the love of the male lead.

They set up a lot of physical comedy and situations that were super cute but not a lot of laugh out loud funny. The family and friends of the female lead were wonderful characters, but the chaebol family with all the angst was too cliche and boring.

Overall, the show filled some time, but I wouldn't call it a favorite.

Giving Wedding Impossible a 8 but may come back to reduce. 9 for theme - love to watch marriage contract dramas. 9 for casting - seems that the casting has been on point so far. The reason I am having doubts about giving any higher than an 8 at this point is the predictability of it. Only after 2 episodes it seems that everything has been laid out already - so much so, for example the secret, the father situation, that I think the whole ending can be predicted at episode 2 (including the heir for the future). Am I the only one to see the ending from just episode 2? A little more mystery may have been more fun IMO. Unless there is some big twist down the road - who knows. Will keep watching and be open to changing my 8 to lower later depending on how this actually develops the ending - if we knew it all from episode 2 or not.

Shocked by how good this was! Extremely watchable and relaxing office/chaebol drama. The whole chaebol storyline was not dragged on to the point of boring me to death. It was actually done with care and it provided depth to the characters lives. I took one star off because I think the lack of emotive acting from the main cast unfortunately undersold the emotional depth of the show, it ultimately felt shallow in the beginning and only by the last episodes did it seem to change only a tiny bit. I think an actress like Go Won Hee or Chae Soo Bin would have KILLED this role and given Ah Jeong's character so much more depth and matched Moon Sang Min's acting more. Hell, Han So Hee could've done better. So that aspect deserved more care, but over overall I think it's a nice easy watch.
