What happens when a couple has long since moved past the honeymoon stage of their relationship? "Can We Get Married?" takes a really realistic approach to answering that question, as it's all about couples who can;t find it within themselves to find that spark between themselves and their girlfriend/boyfriend. At that point in a relationship, you've invested so much time and effort into loving that other person that you feel like it would be a waste to just throw it away, therefore the only answer is marriage. "Can We Get Married?" isn't a rom-com per se, but it is a very down-to-earth take on one. Story: This story is targeted towards a very specific audience. Unless you've gone through what the characters on screen are experiencing, you're not going to find this drama interesting in the slightest. Speaking honestly, when I watched this drama it bored me to tears., but hindsight is 20/20 and when I went back over it I found it to be a lot more enjoyable. I didn't really like Sung Joon and Jung So Min's scenes simply because the couple they portrayed was annoying. They bickered over the littlest things and Jung So Min's character was so whiny I found myself wondering why anyone would put themselves through that willingly, but when I took a step back and examined the couples around me, they really weren't anything special and were just like any other couple out there. They might not be perfect up close but they'll stick by each other. When I first watched this drama, I liked Han Groo's and Kim Young Kwan's couple better. I didn't like the controlling parent storyline, but it did serve a purpose throughout the drama, so I'll let it slide. Acting: Sung Joon is one of my favorite actors, and while Jung So Min isn't, I still liked her in this. Kim Young Kwang was great and had fantastic chemistry with Han Groo- so much that I even wanted them to be real-life couple. Lee Mo Sook was perfect and everyone else was good. Music: It's been a while since I watched this drama, so I don't really remember how I felt about it. Rewatch Value: Hmm... just for Han Groo's and Kim Young Kwang's scenes. Overall: It's not candy-coated and there's no prince charming to sweep away the heroine. The characters are just normal people, trying to figure out what to do with their relationships and their lives.
