Suprisingly enjjoyed it for a long drama
The long daily/weekly Kdramas are definitely not my preference. But I decided to watch this one mainly for actress Lee Se Young. I really enjoyed her character in this drama even if it wasn't the main character. Also the whole drama was actually a fun decent watch as well.
The biggest surprise of the drama for me is the chaebol characters. I've only seen few long Kdramas and the chaebol characters are evil and unbearable. In "Wolgyesu tailor shop", the chaebol family here did not fit much into those two categories as much. At the start, it seems like they're heading that way with the mother and son conspiring together to take over the company from the ML. But as we get to know more of these characters, they lean towards more the comedic silly tone. The chaebol son Hyo Sang does have his moments of living up to the typical evil chaebol figure but he gets the best character growth at the end where the change in his character is noticeably seen. The other members of the chaebol family do go through character growth as well which was hard for me to believe for the older sister and sister in law who were the two worst characters of the drama. But I am glad they went this route for these chaebol characters that the long journey of the drama was worth it. The mother and daughter(Lee Se Young's character) were the best part of that family. I would have liked for them to had cast an actor to play as the father who had passed away but was still mention as important character to the family. Their father built and led their company with his hard work. It seemed like he was an inspiring person the way they talked mighty of him which again is a surprise for a chaebol family. I would have loved to see them throw flashback scenes of their father and the connection he had with his family.
The tailor shop family are a delightful group of people. They do a fantastic job in establishing the 4 gentlemen and their story they go through during the drama. I feel a bit dumb for realizing that the drama was about this until the ending scene. The cover photo of the drama does make it look like all 4 are working in the tailor shop but only 2 did. Dong Jin the ML and son of the father who owns the tailor shop is a strong, confident, and smart person. He misjudges the FL for a person she is not where he's unlikable for a bit treating her harshly but apologizes to her after seeing the truth. This part was an amazing watch to see how his character took a turn from hating the FL to loving the FL. Tae Yang comes from a poor family background. He works multiple jobs. He ended up working at the company where he met his future wife. He leaves the company after finding out how he was hired which was Hyo Sang playing around wanting to monitor what kind of guy his girlfriend Ji Yeon dated before was like. You get your typical messy story of good characters connected with the bad characters that they have to learn to accept each other as family later on. Ji Yeon is Tae Yang's girlfriend at the start of the drama but she cheats on him with Hyo Sang because he's rich and successful. Hyo Won the daughter of the chaebol family has a bright fluffy energy that can be immature. She falls for Tae Yang throughout the drama which was a wonderful watch. Even tho Tae Yang is poor he is a handsome, caring, brave, and kind man. Seeing the chaebol mother being against him dating her daughter but slowly opening up to like him was very fun. A missed opportunity was some deeper background on his sister like relationship with the FL Yeon Sil. A flashback scene would have been nice. The FL Yeon Sil was alright for me. She had her ups and downs tho for her character whether she had grown stronger or reverted back to how she was before she met the ML.
This drama does go a bit over kill with all the weddings that happen. Maybe it's just me and I haven's seen enough long Kdramas with so many couples that need for wedding scenes. Overall the drama is a decent watch with fun characters and their journeys.
