maybe a comfort watch
Bride of the Century is the type of drama I would categorise as something similar to a comfort watch. It’s one of those dramas that you’d wanna watch with a hot bowl of ramen or any delicious food at your table. The storyline is not too perplexing, the characters have decent chemistry, and yeah, everything just seems easygoing. However, the only reason why I’m rating this a seven is:
• The storyline was good, something unique. A rich, arrogant and classy girl with a poor, clumsy and friendly lookalike who takes her place as Choi Gang Ju’s fiancée after she mysteriously disappears one day. It started amazing. (And honestly, I Gyeong’s style suits actress Yang Jin Sung a lot).
• Initially, as soon as the drama begun, I couldn’t help but feel bad for Jang I Gyeong since the only thing Gang Ju did was use every chance he had to humiliate her.
• I would just be sitting down on my bed, waiting for her to give him the most hurtful reply there is but she never did. I didn’t blame her, though. She had a reputation and business to protect.
— However, when she ran away, I couldn’t have been more delighted since, at the outset, I thought she ran away because she didn’t want the marriage and wanted to live her life on her own terms.
But this notion of mine was not true since her running away was related with the whole ghost mystery thing they had going on.
I SO wanted what I thought to be true.
Gang Ju and Du Rim had better chemistry since I feel all Gang Ju needed was someone to put him in his place and teach him how he’s not who he thinks he is.
I believe even if this drama was just a typical rich body and rich girl plot, him and I Gyeong could’ve been great as well if she didn’t listen to all the crap he and Ru Mi said about her and shut their mouths.
Another reason for the 7 rating:
• Du Rim couldn’t play as I Gyeong even in the slightest. Yes, that’s somewhat the point. However, she made it so obvious to the point that anybody close to I Gyeong could guess that she wasn’t her.
• Also, even if she couldn’t play as someone else, she could at least use her brain when required which she really didn’t, I feel. They made her look very dumb.
• She was WAY too clumsy to the point that it was annoying.
But yeah, she was cool when she needed to be. And that’s what got Gang Ju hooked.
Again, it’s an amazing drama for a comforting day. Especially when you don’t wanna confuse your brain too much! 🤎
