Mariage Impossible (2024)

Worst Writing in recent K dramas

it’s one of the most sloppiest writing ever.
they had a good cast, but all wasted because of poor writing on the show.

it started of well then mid season there were many loopholes in their story.. and the need just fizzled out.

they had cameos in last episode to spike up the ratings, didn’t do wonders when your main leads have a messed up story.

at one point, you will be wondering why are they even doing this? what is the point of it?

waste of time literally.

if you have seen decent number of dramas, you will know why this is one of the worst writings ever.

silly romance perdio el rumbo

realmente creo que al principio tenía TODO el potencial, ellos hacian un gran equipo y no sentia que su relación fuera a un punto incómodo, pero luego todo se puso forzoso y aburrido, me costo mucho ver los capítulos a partir del capítulo 9/10.
Es disfrutable pero creo que pudieron haber manejado las cosas de otra forma para q no se sintiera todo TAN FORZADO.

No abordaron bien la salida del closet de dohan, lo trataron como algo super x como si todo el drama no hubiera girado entorno a eso y creo q en algún punto me senti muy incómoda con que dohan no queria terminar el compromiso a tiempo y ellos quedaron como los cuñados que se enamoraron ???? why?

Disappointment…

Before starting to watch, I had high expectations for this drama, and the initial episodes gave me reasons to believe it would be a great rom-com. However, the further I watched, the worst it got.
Firstly, as it’s a romantic comedy, let’s evaluate the romantic aspect. I didn’t feel any chemistry between the main characters at all. While there might have been some spark when they argued in the early episodes, I couldn’t believe in their “unconditional” love once their relationship started.
Secondly, what’s up with the acting? The only character I could connect with was Lee Ji Han. Moon Sang Min was good and I think he has the potential to be a really decent actor in the future. Regarding Jeon Jong Seo, I don’t think she is a bad actress but I didn’t like her acting in this one at all, it felt a bit force (?) to me, it lacked authenticity.
However, the worst to watch was the main character’s brother; his acting didn’t convince me at all, but maybe it’s because his storyline was completely ruined by the writers. And of course we can’t forget about the annoying sister of A Jung and her unintelligent husband, who matched the ML’s stepbrother in behaviour. Whenever they appeared on screen, I wanted to skip their scenes.
Thirdly, some storylines were completely cut off, and the ending honestly made me laugh; it came out of nowhere.
Overall, I definitely won’t go back to this drama because there is nothing to go back to. I watched it, and I’ll forget about it in a week. As for the positives, I’ll check out Moon Sang Min’s future dramas because I’m curious about his development as an actor.

Could have been a nice rom com

It started well, all elements for a nice rom com were there, humour, background story with a bit of suspens, characters designed as nice and villain and the plot was original and tackle a subject that isn’t spoken easily of on Korean tv…. Yet this drama lacks so much more they try to make it complicated more it became a mess. Characters reactions and emotions are all over the place and just don’t make sense. There is no love nor brother love nor family love starting from episode 9 only a bigger mess unfolding in the 4 last episodes.
Unfortunately it was a disappointment

Different

The drama was not as bad as some of the review says. it was different in a refreshing way. But the story is not for everyone. It needs a certain understanding to stomach it.

The female lead actress have much room for better acting, but I liked the main female lead character. she was not a damsel in distress. Na AhJung was headstrong and didn't get scared even in front of the grandfather/president.

There are points which has its own craziness. but I loved that there is a Kdrama with a LGBTQ+ character as one of the main characters. There are not many in that category.

My issue is that the end leaves a lot of questions unanswered, a lot of lose ends. We never fully find out what DoHan's issue was with his ex. The father's involvement in the accident is never revealed to the JiHan DoHan brothers. Etc.... Too many lose ends.

If I could describe this series in one way, it would be WASTED POTENTIAL. Initially, I was loving this series, but as I continued watching, I became more and more disinterested in the characters, especially Ah Jung’s and Ji Han’s relationship, which sucked because at first I loved their relationship. Their dynamic was funny and enjoyable to watch. I especially loved that scene where they got drunk together despite still “hating” each other, but even though they had a strong start, the chemistry between them was gone the second that Ji Han realized he had feelings for Ah Jung. I honestly wish their relationship stayed platonic because the romantic aspect of their relationship ruined their dynamic. Ji Han had more chemistry (romantically) with Chae Won than he had with Ah Jung, and that should say a lot. Whenever Ji Han and Ah Jung are on screen together now, I found myself wishing for the scene to be over. I can’t stand watching their relationship anymore. It’s so boring now. And Ah Jung and Ji Han’s relationship isn’t the only thing I can complain about. There’s so many other things that made me dislike this series, like the lack of focus on the **initial** plot, which is the fake marriage. Instead of focusing on that, they only focused on developing Ji Han and Ah Jung’s relationship. It pissed me off whenever a scene with Ah Jung and Do Han would come on, and all Ah Jung would talk about or think about was Ji Han. Like, please SHUT UP. Not only that, but what’s up with all the unnecessary characters and conflicts? If they were going to have a side couple, they could have at least made it interesting, but no, they couldn’t even do that and with Do Han’s ex, the evil siblings, and all the other conflicts that come after that. They should have picked one conflict and stuck with it instead of making multiple and underdeveloping each one. Anyway, there’s probably more I can complain about, but that’s all I can think of right now. I know it probably seems like I hate this series, which isn’t far from the truth, but I’m giving it 6.5 stars because I genuinely did enjoy the first 6ish episodes. I just wish they executed everything properly instead of messing it all up.

A good rom com story but lacks the chemistry between the leads.

I enjoyed the webtoon and the drama did manage to live up to it too a good extent.
The cast was good and each member did justice to heir character.

Honestly when I heard Jeong Seo being casted for the role, I was quite skeptical of whether she can pull of the role as most of her roles till now had nothing to do with rom-com stuff but she for sure impressed me.

The drama is good, lighthearted and humorous. It is quite different from the cliche romcom dramas and also manages to shed light on topics of how LGBTQ folks live and are treated in a country where it is still not openly accepted.

The chemistry between the leads is lukewarm. It just didn't feel organic or warm or sizzling . Maybe due to the casting or execution but it was a letdown.

It started with a good pace but went a little draggy in its last episodes. Overall it is a good one time watch.

Good, but

It’s good l, really good for now. Story good, acting good… but chemistry between main roles is ….
Kim Do Hwan is a good actor. He has a lot of potential, but this role isn’t for him. I feel he cant enter the role very well. I watched most of his drama. But this time role wasn’t wrote for him.

Female lead is a very very good actress. But I dont know maybe my bad, but she isnt suitable for romnatic genre in TV. I watched the call and nothing serious but I always feel she should play in artistic style loke independent movies or festival movies. She has big screen potential.

And also chemical between ji han and ah jung… I can’t feel it. His love is very rush and unrealistic. An jung tried to play with him. When they drank alchocal together first time its look like very weird. Ah jung look like she like his attention. But when she feels something like that she must to stop this fake marriage.

In the end, FL and ML looks like brother and sister. Their chemistry never look like lover.

A Waste of A Gay Character

I am not continuing with thus series. Quite frankly it had so much potential but it's taking a slow route in my opinion.

First the actors are fantastic but this is a straight story (which is fine) that's using a gay character as a prop. And again this is my opinion. The story is heavy handed on the straight story. A younger brother falling for his gay older brother's beard.

And the family dynamics of the first born children being jealous of their mother's other children.

Maybe I just don't get it. I was so thrilled to find a main character that was gay in a non BL series that would be given a story. However my patience is wearing thin.

Damn, too bad because these actors are pretty good. Maybe I will binge watch it after it's done if I find out the gay character was more fleshed out such as it is. As for now..no.
I hope I'm wrong but I despise series where the gay character is a prop and less of a useful character.

No it’s not about spy’s

Ok so I originally thought since the title resembled some TV isn’t like Mission Impossible.. that this would involve some spy story. So that is what intrigued me funny enough. I then watched the promos and saw some sort of a femme fatal role from our FL.. but ultimately no spies. Now the trailer comes out and no spies. I at least thought that this would have some wit with how the fake relationship could be perceived as real. I thought this drama would bring some mind games and gaslighting others to make them believe the relationship that the story revolves around is real. In the end there was less of that and a whole lot more of.. well .. I don’t know?

I can’t say I don’t like this drama though. It was charming for the first handful of episodes. Soon though I started seeing problems with the main plot line and relationships. The FL gets too into the relationships around her, I mean I guess she’s only human- but it’s just kind of all over the place in a way. I guess I shouldn’t have expected a lot of smart writing here. It’s pretty boring at times, but it’s not too complicated. For what this drama wants to be, a romantic comedy- it’s not really that either. I don’t know what genre this wanted to be, but funny- yes at times- romantic…….. ehhhhh

This was just a quick little writings about how I thought about this. So to sum it up, it’s not bad. I don’t recommend it but I don’t hate it. I really like Moon Sang Min and am glad I watched it. Without the leads here I wouldn’t have. It’s got that curse where it has talented actors but the writing is just not all there. I get it’s from a source, but adapt it- make it better. Instead this was just average-ish. That’s a barely though, for a more average romantic comedy I would rather it be so bad it’s good. Instead if it’s like this a boring and doesn’t know what it wants to be, then I just get frustrated. I wanted a cult classic, instead I should just watch the classics.

My biggest frustration was the handling of the second male lead. He was a gay man and I expected that they didn’t make that some sort of disability for him. I kid you not, that’s how it was treated. A sad secret that kept him from living his life fully. I don’t care about the business or the appeal to the world, I don’t think it was fair for his story to be shoved away. They treated his homosexuality like a bad thing that was unfortunate. I swear the guy himself didn’t even like being gay nor was he proud of it. And he was 30? The whole life he had, he not once owned up to it because of what? His grandparents? If he didn’t care for that life why couldn’t he just say it? I guess he could’ve been scared for his partner.. but he didn’t have one. And also he never got one in the end. The straight people got their happy ending but if you are gay you just end up alone. It’s quite funny how bad they ended his story, and how the writers really don’t know anything about what it’s like to be gay. I mean I could go on and on. I’m just offended they never celebrated the queer aspects and instead it was someone’s misfortune. That’s not progress in kdrama land, that’s misfortune by itself.

If you want something more nuanced I don’t even know where to start. For a romantic comedy with queer leads watch Sematic Error. For a romantic comedy that is straight watch Business Proposal. I’m done here. Again I’ll say being gay isn’t a misfortune to someone live. This drama has the opportunity to shed light on the difficulties while also respecting someone’s identity. They could’ve showed how someone can still thrive and be successful no matter their identity. So what was the moral of this?

Don’t adapt something you don’t understand or try to. Instead it comes off as disrespectful and cheap. No matter how charming the leads and the characters are, the handling of identities was so flawed. I’ll say watch something else. Recommending more.. even other countries at this point. Watch Ready Set Love for queer characters and straight that is handled with respect.. watch that please.. not this
