Lost potential

The drama was good for the majority of it. But towards the end started losing steam. The 3 leads characters are flawed. Disappointing then despite having potential the gay lead was sidelined after the first 2 episodes. They could have fleshed him out so much better.

Deadpan FL expression. Logic goes downhill from halfway of the story.

Since episode 7, when many revelations surfaced, the logic behind the actions of the three main characters in coping with the situations becomes increasingly absurd. Additionally, I think the series would have been better with 8 or 9 episodes instead of the current 12. At the current pace, there is too much dragging. The dialogues, even those between the main characters, are also dull. However, the show really pulls off some hilarious scenes, especially during the first half. They had me laughing out loud a few time, which isn't something I usually do.

Anyway, a major disappointment lies in the performance of the FL. Honestly, I can't fathom why she was cast for this role. Initially, I appreciated her portrayal of a realistic woman who doesn't conform to femininity but exudes coolness, particularly in her interactions within her friend circle. However, when it comes to scenes with the ML, she falls very short. There's supposed to be a spark, some chemistry, something romantic, but it's totally absent. Zero. None. There's no romantic vibe from the FL at all, while the ML has already done his part. Furthermore, the plot does little to support their supposed deep love for each other in such a short time, to the extent of risking and betraying the feelings of another person they both care about deeply. Their love lacks conviction. Additionally, the FL's portrayal in these romantic contexts fails to evoke any genuine emotion in me. While the marriage between the FL and the ML's brother might be a sham, watching the FL and ML together, I can't help but feel their love is just as fake.

Great start, 2nd half a bit disappointing

PLOT: FL, a struggling extra-actress, agrees to marry her best friend, a gay painter, to hide his homosexuality from his family, and possibly inherit his grandfather's company. But the future groom's brother, ML, fighting with his half-brother and sister, does everything to prevent this marriage.

PROS:
+ Brilliant leads, particularly Moon Sang Min, the ML, for whom I expect a promising career. (FL meh...)
+ The production is lively, dynamic.
+ The story is coherent, but full of clichés.
+ The short format (12 episodes) does not allow any downtime.
+ K-pop OSTs are enjoyable.

CONS:
- I had difficulty adhering to the character of the FL, not always very coherent, and I am not very convinced of Jeon Jong Seo's acting skills.
- The characters of "perfectly idiotic good friends", recurring in dramas, annoy me deeply.

=> a good drama, which Moon Sang Min carries on his shoulders!
**************************************************
PLOT : La FL, figurante-actrice en galère, accepte de se marier avec son meilleur ami, peintre gay, pour cacher son homosexualité à sa famille, et éventuellement hériter de la Cie de son gd-père. Mais le frère du futur marié, le ML, en lutte avec ses demi-frère et sœur, fait tout pour empêcher ce mariage.

PROS:
+ Des leads brillants, particulièrement Moon Sang Min, le ML, pour qui s'annonce une carrière prometteuse. (FL bof ...)
+ La réalisation est vive, dynamique.
+ La story est cohérente.
+ Le format court (12 épisodes) ne permet pas de temps mort.
+ Les OST K-pop sont agréables.
CONS:
- j'ai eu du mal à adhérer au personnage de la FL, pas toujours très cohérent, et je ne suis pas très convaincue des acting skills de Jeon Jong Seo.
- Les personnages de "bonnes copines parfaitement idiotes", récurrents dans les dramas, m'agacent profondément.

=> un bon drama, que Moon Sang Min porte sur ses épaules !

Short and cute

Honestly I was excited to watched it, been waiting for this to aire. When I watched its pilot episode I was kind disappointed because it gets me bored it very lousy for me. So I give it a chance on the next episode and it really never fails to amazed me. And the the story progress on the upcoming episode.
I can believe that Jeon Jong Seo can do romcom drama, I'm used seeing her in her badass roles in her previous projects. Actually she really did a great job in her role here its cute and funny you can still see her angst here.
I first adore Moon Sang Min in his role as the crown prince in Under the Queen's Umbrella. His very good looking guy that is very tall that has a deep voice.
The story is cute and funny, they found love to each other unexpectedly that they noticed that everyone is against their love. They give more importance to the people that they might hurt rathen than pursuing their feelings, it is better for them to get hurt than other people might get hurt. After a year that they have been apart their love even grows and the people has agreed in their love .

Could have been better ?

The opening was great- very promising storyline, actors were good.. then in the middle it got rather melodramatic, going in circles.. then the last two episodes were just boring. Mediocre ending. Yep, that’s it.

The FL seemed like a pretty good actress at the start, and her character was strong and assertive. But the chemistry between her and Ji Han was somewhat lacking .. and their kiss was a little cringe to watch hahaha. Her character development was just dull and mundane towards the end. I found her family annoying too.

The ML is quite cute, I predict he will have more lead roles and do well in the future ;)

From witty banter to hilarious misunderstandings, the comedic elements of "Wedding Impossible" add depth and charm to the storyline, enhancing my overall viewing experience. The chemistry between the characters shines through not only in heartfelt moments but also in playful exchanges that elicit genuine laughter from the audience.

The dynamics between Ah Jeong and Do Han, portrayed with palpable chemistry, offer a refreshing take on the trope of a fake marriage. As Ah Jeong steps into the role of Do Han's wife to appease his family, their bond evolves organically, blurring the lines between fiction and reality.

However, the plot thickens with the arrival of Lee Ji Han, Do Han's ambitious younger brother, portrayed with nuance by the handsome Moon Sang Min. Ji Han's machinations to secure his brother's position as the LJ Group's successor add a layer of tension and intrigue to the narrative. His efforts to thwart Do Han's wedding, coupled with the introduction of Yoon Chae Won, inject unpredictability into the storyline, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.

While "Wedding Impossible" initially captivated me with its promising beginning and engaging storyline, it's unfortunate that the momentum falters towards the middle of the 12-episode drama. Despite its comedic charm and entertaining moments, I found myself gradually losing interest as the story progresses.

One notable drawback of the series lies in its handling of Do Han's character arc. The introduction of Do Han's sexuality could have served as a compelling catalyst for character development, shedding light on the internal struggles and external pressures he faces. However, the story regrettably sidelines this crucial aspect of his identity, failing to delve deeper into his personal journey and the challenges he encounters as a gay man in a traditional and unforgiving environment.

Overall it was definietly a goodwatch. It was fun and entertaining. That's it.

the romcom was romcom-ing, until it didn't

the show began so well, with great characters and storylines but they lost everything in the middle.
this premise of the drama is fascinating, a rich boy trying to hide his sexuality seeks help from his best friend, they get into a fake marriage, his brother opposes and in his effort to stop the marriage he falls in love with his fake sis in-law.
first of all do-han didn't even feel like a main character, he was barely there on the screen and when he was there the same situations happened. they didn't dive into his issues and insecurities even though he is a major character. he also didn't feel like a-jung's best friend. for such great friends they barely hung out.
jihan and a-jung's chemistry in the first episodes were great, amazing i would say. they had great banter and good chemistry, a good combo for enemies to lovers and a forbidden love trope. even the angst was there. but once they got together, everything was lost. they became so lovey-dovey and didn't disagree on anything. the spark was lost. i still don't understand why they broke up after giving everything up.
there was a lot of lost funny moments. jihan finding out that dohan was gay could have been a really funny moment but they made it so dramatic. jihan could have been worrying so much abt the heartbreak a-jung will have if she found out- musters the courage to say it- and ajung being like 'yeah ik'. it would have been so fun given ajung idgaf attitude.
all the side plots were so boring and unnecessary, so much build-up for the mom's death for the big reveal to be the fact that the father is involved.
so this can be added to the list of dramas that could have been great

Drama with a warm ending ig

I would conclude this review in short. How many of you have watched business proposal? Mostly many people... We all anticipated a very good and a detailed ending in business proposal , we really wanted more. Wedding impossible was a drama tbh which I won't rewatch it this year at least maybe many years later or so . It was good how in 12 episodes everything was wrapped up beautifully. It was a heartwarming drama to realise friendship, your own future goals and priority . Some dramas aren't really wrapped up so beautifully I liked the way how in last 2 episodes everyone had a character development , a sense of responsibility etc. There was not any bitter jealousy love triangle which dragged the episodes for a fiery revenge . 'Moving on' This drama taught us to not to hold onto something tightly let it go , move on etc. Some plots were overlapping like contract marriage, mother died in rain and the son still suffers in rain of that memory , sometimes we really can't help the plots to be overlapped because every drama now and then have them.. What I felt is I got a good ending how I wanted how everyone achieved whatever they wanted in the end . So concluding it with a good note , watch it once, just go with the flow of drama Its a good drama with many heartwarming scenes even though the chemistry lacked between the main leads.

Even clichés can be well written and enjoyable to watch

As cliché a story as this is, it has its' golden pieces, mostly because there is some interesting character development among most of the characters. I especially love both FLs and the ML (Lee Ji Han).

-Na Ah Jung is so assertive, with a "no f*cks given" attitude most of the time, but whenever a situation calls for accountability, she takes it. That is quite a turn-on.

-Yoon Chae Won, in my opinion, is not yet fully fleshed out; however, at present, she is a well-liked character who has a strong backbone. I hope to see her flourish in the upcoming episodes.

-Lee Ji Han is so cute, caring, and sometimes smothering. I love the dynamic between him and Na Ah Jung; she always calls out his bullshit and childish behaviours, which allows him to grow mentally and emotionally.

-The character I currently care about the least is Lee Do Han. I understand that his secret is the whole premise of the show, but unfortunately, him not acknowledging himself in front of his brother makes him look... pathetic. I can only hope that his arc gets better in the future.

i was expecting for it to be bad but...

from the first episode i was intrigued by this both ML, i kinda hoped that both of them would like the FL but it turned out, that dohan was gay. i literally see no reason for dohan and ah jung to be together, like he just wants to drop everything and leave, he doesnt even want to inherit LJ so why this stupid marriage??? idk what will happen in the next 4 eps but i have a bad feeling about this all and im also rooting for ah jung and ji han so if this two wont end up together i'll be so mad. ok lets just wait and see how it actually ends..

Great as an in-between watch, classic romcom, p cute!!!

UPDATE: Ok so after completing it, I will say I may have exaggerated my love for this kdrama (my jaded review was made after a confession scene...so sue me if i gave a 10/10 rating then lol. "that was crazy, i've never actually experienced that sort of atmosphere before, it's absolutely electric,the passion" BUT having watched it fully now, I really think the 2nd half was not as charming as the first. It is your classic romcom, I love that, but I just don't know how I feel about tying up loose ends in the very last ep. The jump was a tad jarring and the reunion didn't necessarily pay off in my opinion. Also just a personal note, I understand the need for lesser episodes for less filler but I get pretty irked when the resolution feels rushed for all of the characters in the last episode. If the main climax of the conflict takes so many eps to build up, I feel like the resolution can also take a few episodes. Idk it might just be me. Anyhow, the acting from Jeon Jung Seo was impeccable throughout the show I will say. Her body language & expressions make her character feel so realistic, its insane! I'll def keep an eye out on these actors. The ML is super cute and even the addition of Yoon Chae Won was also great! Also, I never read the webtoon so I'm not sure how it compares besides Yoon Chae Won's addition to the cast. Overall, cute drama, covers all the elements for an angsty, contract marriage-ish trope (more like forced proximity in the drama) so its great as an in between drama. Not too serious, I like the humor kind of reminds me of Business Proposal. Additionally, it has one of my favorite OST's in a long time. Every song, from the main theme to just little piano medleys in pivotal scenes, was enough to fully immerse me into the show. I almost teared up at a point because the soundtrack was so beautiful. I recommend it! And I hope the actors show up in more dramas like it! (:

I am in awe of the writing of the characters and the actors executions of them. I've been watching kdramas for a LOOOOONG time, and this one is one where I really feel like the writers took the time to outline and get the audience to truly understand the characters.
The characters motivations being conveyed to audiences so clearly drives the plot and creates scenarios seamlessly. I've been a huge fan on Jung jun Seo since "The Call" so I'm glad I get to see her in a romcom! I hope to see a lot more of her in this genre, she suits it amazingly well. Her quirkiness isn't overplayed in my opinion, and like I said earlier, because her motivations are clear from the beginning, she doesn't fall into the annoying FL trope that can often happen in romcoms. Even though the genre is on the less serious side, it still does keep me on edge and even puts me in the precarious situation the characters find themselves in. The situation is so well thought out, I wouldn't say its too predicable. I may also be a tad bias, contractual marriage tropes are my favorite, but I'm glad it's not too on the nose. The OST during scenes brings me back to the charm of older kdramas so I would give this a chance! The main casts acting is also 10/10, along with the writing so do yourself a favor and watch this drama! I have a feeling I'll be re watching this often! I watched Marry My Husband and had I known this gem was following I would've watched it right way. I binged the first 8 eps in 2 days, and I tend to enjoy waiting more than binging. Overall, acting is amazing and it's because of the amazing writing. it's not too cringe, it truly does feel like I'm watching real people make decisions so please watch! I hope to see Moon Sang Min & Kim Do Wan in projects soon too bc I WILL be following! (:

An objectively a good k-drama

I have been reading all the comment reviews about this drama based on recent episodes and I kind of disagree with the ones hating on the storyline and the drama itself. Personally, I believe this might be one of the top kdramas this year so far.
Let's start with the story's pace: compared to other people, the pace of the storyline and episodes is good! If they had made it a 14 or 16-episode drama, it would've lost its ratings easily. They gave a maximum of 1/2 episode of their romance, which is fine with me.
Next, "Dohan is being selfish" Yes he was being selfish but I began liking him at ep10 when he has that moment of self-realization and he steps in to defend them both, but their grandpa stops him (the press conference).
For me, the characters are well-made but yes maybe because they're rushing it so it makes us, viewers, feel uncomfortable with how the story is turning out
