KBS Drama Special 2014: The Reason I'm Getting Married

I wanted to watch this at first because of Park Heebon and Hong Jonghyun. so of course they already have a great cast list and although I am not familiar with Song Jongho, he was great in this drama special and I think he is also in reply 1994. I personally love drama specials (plus KBS hosts a lot of subbed drama specials in their youtube page). They're like a drama and movie simultaneous, they may not have the budget and awesome filming that top notch movies have but they usually have great plot lines.

Personally I don't think this is everyone's cup of tea. The plot is on a simple matter; "Why I'm getting Married". This simple plot may make people bored with it, however it's on an amazing topic and goes about exploring and answering it in a great manner.

The main character, Jiwon, is about to get married but she ends up meeting someone from her past. She is already questioning why her husband-to-be is marrying her and as the drama special progresses we find out why. It also teaches some, which i think are valuable lessons in why you should get married to someone or more so what are the right reasons for marrying someone.

personally I really enjoyed this drama special and the cast was great, however I am indecisive about how they presented Joonki. I just don't think they left him off in a good place as if he suddenly wasn't there anymore but all in all the acting was great and I think the characters were really realistic and something that people could relate to, specially the question "why am I getting married?" for the older audience ^^

I recommend this drama on weekends when you want an hour or two to relax, something lighthearted but enjoyable at the same time. There's something weird about this drama but without giving it away, you'll be like "is this drama sightly in that fantasy genre or something?" it might ruin the pace for some people but I think it was what really complete the story line, plus you get to see her relationship with her dad, which is really sweet.
