I think the story is really good, the show is packed with content: young love, delinquency, "forced" marriage, and most importantly the growth of this young couple into adulthood.
The casting is great, except for the second female lead. But I was simply blown away by Jae Hee' acting skills. He is great, and super handsome. I wish he would be in better productions nowadays.
The music was something special in this drama. I don't usually pay much attention to the music, unless it's horrible. But the OST for this drama is really good, from the kitsch opening credits song to the music throughout the show. It feels surprisingly contemporaneous and I will definitely listen to it often (if I can find it).
Overall a really good drama, not without flaws but endearing enough that I decided to overlook them in this review.

I watched this drama without any knowledge of the folklore the story is based upon nor have seen any previous dramas the main leads have starred in. I picked it based on the recommendations from past titles I’ve already watched. I had no biases going in, I simply wanted wanted to be entertained without investing too much time and this drama cleanly ticked all of the above.Viki did not carry this title in my country and as this was an old drama I had a hard time looking for it on the net so I could not really enjoy the prologue/epilogue sageuk scenes. Apparently they were funny and would have been fun to watch. I liked the plot and the fast pace although it slowed down quite a bit in the last 5 episodes. The main characters were introduced and the heart of the story was revealed in the first 30 minutes. Two things I disliked: too many brooding scenes of the 2nd lead in the final episodes and the confusing messages the FL kept giving 2nd ML . I get that he is deeply reflecting and contemplating his next steps but how many “drink alone” , “look at the window” and “stare at the necklace” scenes do we really need to get the point?
The actors did a wonderful job, special mention to male best friend, dad and Chun-hyang. Best actor definitely goes to Jae Hee who played Mung-ryong. He might be over the top sometimes but in a forgivable cute sort of way. He reminds me of the actor who played the lead role in Chief Kim (aka Good Manager), Namgung Min. I will be on the lookout for his other works. This drama touched my heart in a special way and will be in my re-watch and recommended list.

История начинается, когда родители Lee Mong-ryong в очередной раз переводят сына в другую школу. На этот раз из Сеула в Намвон. При первой же прогулке он случайно знакомится с Chun-hyang. Слово за слово... короче не понравились они друг другу. Однако вскоре произошло недоразумение, которое грозило большими неприятностями нашим героям. И единственным выходом оказалось - поженить их, чтобы присечь кривотолки. Поженили. Дети успешно закончили школу, поступили в университет и переехали в Сеул. Однако, на личном фронте у них все разладилось, появились всякие бывшие и другие поклонники. Треугольники, четырехугольники и прочая радость корейского дорамопрома. Причем все это заняло солидное время. Годы. Но от судьбы не уйдешь.В целом, сериал по настоящему очень смешной, так искренне я давно не смеялась. В конце серий идут маленькие зарисовочки, в которых герои сериала разыгрывают сценки из "Сказания о Чхунхян", просто бесподобно!

This is just an ok arranged marraige drama when compared to Sweet 18, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
The acting was fine as the characters all had their strengths, flaws, and unique presonalities without an excess of overacting. I don't think I'll watch this again because there are dramas I enjoyed more that are less frustrating which equals a no go for me on rewatch value.
