Okay so, first of all I've got to admit that I'm a sucker for marriage romances (that is, marriage coming before love) such as Goong and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. That was what got me to watch Wedding in the first place. Before the main drag of angst which happens in any drama, I felt very highly about it overall. The main female character is strong, not very selfish as I had expected her to be, and the main male character was kind, loveable, everything that the main female character loved and believed in him for. He seemed really good for the main female character. My feelings about these two did not quite change when I got to the angstier part of the drama, but in spite of trying hard to believe in them and the plotline, I was disappointed. I felt like the few main hurtles we had seen coming for them took a lot longer to overcome than they needed to, and throughout that journey the two main characters didn't stick with it -and each other- nearly as much as I had hoped they would. Yet at the same time I had reason to empathize with the feelings of the main female character about the second female character. Speaking of second female character: she was cool, and well acted, but too wishy-washy. Second male character was to me, at first, like an antagonist (I thought he was really going to turn out as a player) but I got to like him and his quirky stolidness as his better side came through.
Conclusion: this drama had the potential of being one of my favorites, but didn't reach that because it kind of copped out in the middle. It didn't disappoint me in the end, but it could have been a lot better overall. There was good chemistry and a lot of uber-sweet moments between the main characters, which almost makes it worth watching again in a few years.

This is one drama which is hard to find fault with, part of which is probably because of its length. The story would have been very difficult to make a full-length drama out of, but four episodes - more than the length of a movie - was about perfect for the scale of the story, allowing for character developments and a sequence of events which a movie wouldn't have had time for.
Speaking of character developments: this some of these drama's characters didn't bail out on me the way I thought they would. All of the characters were eventually expanded to be more like they ought to be under the circumstances - and I felt like all of the characters were given a genuine chance at being 'good people' in spite of how, as a watcher, I initially wrote them off. Very fulfilling in that aspect.
After having watched Park Min Young in this, my respect of her as an actress is rather better than it was before. I'd only seen her in City Hunter before, but my opinion of her acting was that it was somehow lacking. However, after watching her in Running Gu, I am reminded of the truth that if a script doesn't quite have a character right, it's very difficult for an actor/actress to make up for it. Not to say that City Hunter's script was a bad one, but that Park Min Young's character in City Hunter was more difficult to feel along with than the character she had in Running Gu.
As for the other actors: The main fellow was pretty good, though there were just a few moments here and there which didn't seem quite spot on. The second male actor did a good job. Supporting actors performed well: I loved Dae-gu's two running hyungs and their coach :)
I liked the foremost threesome a lot - and really, the way that this ended was perfect. I couldn't have hoped for a better ending.
Do watch. It's a worthwhile drama without all of the extra twists and illogical additions which longer dramas are often obliged to put in to take up time.
