I am currently at the last episode and I thought I should write a review " The matchmakers" in case if I become lazy once the series is finished. I have not been able to skip or fast forward even a one second of this absolutely amazing drama. If you are a regular Korean drama viewer you know that the first few episodes of most Korean dramas are wonderful and then it gets really boring until the end. So many dramas get lost in political and family feuds during Middle episodes and it becomes boring and a bitter experience for the viewer. Let me tell you that the matchmakers is one of the absolutely wonderful feel good and beautifully crafted dramas I have ever seen in my life. Whoever wrote this story should be given an award as the story itself is extremely interesting and written in a brilliant, sophisticated , heartfelt and funny way. The clothes are heavenly I really love the traditional Korean clothes and their colours in this drama. The backgrounds reminds me of Wes Anderson's Grand budafest Hotel and they are absolutely pleasure to look at. I found myself stopping and rewinding the episodes as the backgrounds were extremely beautiful at times. Music of this drama speaks to the heart especially the classical orchestral music played in the background. The cast is perfect for the story and I really do love the character of the King as he is sophisticated and funny. This drama has many love stories within it, so if you are a fan of romantic comedy who like dramas like business proposal then this is absolutely a MUST for you. Let me tell you this drama is an absolute gem and I wish this drama would gain the popularity of Love in the Moonlight. I will try to watch this drama again in another few years as this drama gave me so much pleasure and laughs. It's also important to point out the drama focuses on the injustices and customs during the joseon period. The matchmakers will teach you about loyalty to your family, honesty, filial duty to your parents, being content, being virtuous, being not greedy but being selfless. Just watch this! I hope this drama win few awards. May you be well and happy, with metta loving kindness to you.

I have just finished watching episode 2 and I was clapping really hard. Simply this series is that good. I have watched many Korean dramas and they tend to astray and become dry as the show goes on. The script writers are unforgiving. Remember how cruel Game of Thrones was? Yes, you will get the same feeling. Damn I was feeling so dry after watching many English Western dramas. This K drama radiates humanity, warmth and reality. Just beautiful. Must deserve more recognition.

I have watched the highest rated western dramas like Ozark, breaking bad, GOT and movies and often find them dry. They are so dry you actually feel it. My Korean journey started with crash landing on you and this drama is already one of my favourites even though I still haven't finished watching it. If you are into feel good romantic comedy with human emotions and dynamics this drama has it all. There is a deeper psychological and Philosophical aspect embedded within the drama despite the fact that this is a few good light-hearted comedy. As in Buddhism Upajjhatthana Sutta : "I am the owner of my actions, heir to my actions, born of my actions, related through my actions, and have my actions as my arbitrator. Whatever I do, for good or for evil, to that will I fall heir". Whatever we intentionally think, do or say become our karma.

This drama is not a feel good comedy. It is just amazing.
