Love-Love Beam
Shanai Marriage Honey is a Marry First-Date Second RomCom drama. Not only do the MCs look good together but they have great chemistry. A few cute scenes here, one-line swooners there and fluffy moments around the corner, all add to the entertainment of the show. Although there is no primary plot, the audience mainly watch it for the interaction and progression of the couple from getting to know each other as strangers to starting to develop feelings. Being 7 episodes only and 25mins each episode, there are no filler parts and get straight into the scenes. Also there are alot of 'intimate'/flirty scenes, you have been warned.
Quick Story/Plot
Similar to the summary on the MDL Page, the ML and FL decided to do a shotgun marriage due to their own reasons. I don't believe they are under a contract marriage, but after moving in together they started developing feelings for each other and found out that they work at the same company. Then comes the comedy and fluffyness in trying to hide their relationship in the office and getting to know each other better as a married couple off-work. What was also great about the story was that their progression was realistic and often the worries and concerns of the FL are expressed and not drowned out until it's all too late. Communication is key in a relationship and she picks out times to bring out mature topics to discuss for a better married life.
Quick Acting/Cast/Characters
- The FL recently broke up with her boyfriend after finding out he has been cheating on her and decided to marry the ML after a dating app alert. The FL is very friendly and sociable which often makes a lot of the men misunderstand. After marrying, she decided to make the ML fall in love with her.
- The ML is the top salesman in the business and is highly popular. On the day of the wedding, it was love at first 'moment' and later he tries to hide how much he loves the FL. The ML trys to halt the advances of the FL, but everytime, he breaks down to her cuteness when he leaves the room.
Music/OSTs
The OST Playlist is so great and literally a bop when it starts playing during the cute fluffy scenes. Also the starting OST dance was cute too.
Rewatch Value
Would definitely rewatch for the sweet scenes, it is a very short drama and can be binged in 1 night.
Why my rating (10)
Although other reviews say the drama is very conventional and not much depth, the enjoyment I believe is the interaction and progression of the couple. They discuss their feelings and concerns and work together as a married couple to overcome the challenges. Sure, the drama is more on the mature and flirty side, but that is an added bonus ontop. Please give this drama a try as it is really short and well produced. There are candy scenes in every episode and the one-line swooners that make everyone giggle with a grin. It is the only JDrama that I have given a 10 and had me constantly coming back wanting more from the couple.
