First two episodes were cute and funny. Then, the plot got progressively uncomfortable because of main leads’ glaring communication issues. This really is a common plot device used in Korean shows and it, once again, reared its ugly head here.

ML is passive and immature. FL is passive aggressive and has trouble telling the truth about how she feels. Then you throw in their friends who are either clueless (ML’s) and negative nellys (FL’s) and their respective parents with their own prejudices and issues, you get a train wreck of wedding planning. The title is pretty accurate.

Don’t get me wrong. What they’re going through is understandable. It’s stressful to get married but their struggles didn’t get all the way relatable for me. Like the FL being stressed to match the $80K dowry from the ML’s family and buying a $10K watch as a present for the ML. I found it to be a super first world problem in an elitist way. Well, I guess everything could be categorized as first world problems. Another reason for not relating to their problems was because I almost felt like they deserved their heartaches caused by their own shortcomings. I stopped caring about them after a few episodes.

Before I end this, here’s a PSA for Korean people. I feel like this is a real issue in Korean society. Korean parents and children (that are adults, especially), please go on your separate ways. Parents, let your adult children go. Stop interfering! Stop guilt tripping them into being your little children forever even after they marry and have their own children. Korean adult children, your parents are done raising you. Stop depending on them for money and directions in life. You’ll thank me later.
