No glamorous idol stars all coiffed and styled. No sophisticated houses and office buildings.
Just funky hair and quirky outfits and ordinary neighborhoods and parks. That was quite refreshing to me.
This drama is laugh out loud funny and random and quirky and fun.
Is there a real, structured plot? Not really. But is it enjoyable and wacky? HECK YES.
Lee Hana and Ji Hyun Woo did a great job as the lead roles and they had fabulous chemistry together.
Also, Ji Hyun Woo's hair was lovely in this drama. Wang Bit Na deserves a special mention because she was amazing as So Ran, the spoiled rich girl. Loved every scene with her in it.
If you are in the mood for a crazy, light hearted drama that doesn't require too much emotional investment, this is a good drama to check out.

Decent drama. Its main strength is its comedy which is great when the jokes hit but that's not always the case. The type of comedy you'll see here is similar to sitcoms like "Unstoppable High Kick", quirky and situational. Yet, the comedy around the middle parts (around 5-9) was weak and the story was slow. There isn't much romance since that's not the focus anyway. The leads had a good dynamic as well as the 2nd leads between each other.Cet avis était-il utile?

This is the story of a couple of oddballs (well, more than a couple) being odd together, lol. The mannerisms are exaggerated, the scenarios are outlandish, there's a whole side plotline that is five layers of silly, and that's honestly the entire charm of the series. The entire drama is intentionally silly and doesn't take itself seriously. If there's one thing you need to know about it going in, it's that.Hwang Me Ri is admittedly unlikable for the first half of the drama, coming across as very selfish and thoughtless towards others, while Kang Dae Gu initially comes across as a leach and a slob. But as the story progresses, you begin to like and understand the characters more in spite of themselves. Hwang Me Ri becomes a more sympathetic character around the halfway mark, and Kang Dae Gu quickly proves himself to be a decent guy who's just struggled to find his way.
The story itself is very self-aware, poking fun at its characters and joyfully placing them in awkward or embarrassing situations for the viewers entertainment. The drama does take itself a little too seriously in the last few episodes, wallowing in a little too much 'woah is me' around some particular plot points that didn't need to be such a big deal (especially considering the literal dramatics of some of the drama's earlier events), but it's otherwise a solid drama that's likely to give you some pretty big, roll-your-eyes, belly laughs.
My recommendation for those thinking about watching Merry Mary is to not take anything in this drama too seriously, because you're definitely not meant to. Just go with the flow, and you'll have fun.
