Marriage Not Dating


Marriage Not Dating is hands down the best comedic performance ever written, produced, filmed, and acted. This drama broke all the rules in all the right ways. The first moments of each episode depicted the most embarrassing scenarios one could be in, and the rest of the episode explains why that scenario happened and the aftermath of such a scene. This drama was impeccably executed and it's #2 on my favorite dramas of all time list.

Gong Ki-Tae is a plastic surgeon who comes from an affluent background. He is successful in every area of his life and his mother and family feel it's time for him to marry. Ki-Tae was a very special kind of chaebol. Though he's arrogant, stuck-up just like the type character, he's incredibly vulnerable. Yeon Woo-Jin did an amazing job playing this role. He was able to express the tenderness of Ki-Tae even though it wasn't written. The expressions towards Joo Jang-Mi, and even how he looked at the second lead Han Yeo-Reum, was with compassion and tenderness. I adored this male lead so much. He' another character that gives you the drama-realistic expectations in a boyfriend.

Joo Jang Mi is the best friend in my head. This character charged head first in every scenario and I adored her for it. This poor female lead was put through the wringer, but she maintained a great fighting spirit. Vivacious is the word that I would describe this character. Han Groo pulsated with life in this drama. Her performance was perfection. This drama was enhanced because of Han Groo. She was the magic, and spark that created a wonderful watching experience.

Han Yeo Reum was the dreamiest second lead I'd ever seen. This character was charming, sexy, a great conversationalist, in short everything I would want in my soulmate. Jinwoon oozed a kind of je ne sais quoi. The way this character wore his heart on his sleeve was beautiful. Though he had a few childish behaviors... he was sweet.

To be honest, this drama was sweet. There was a kindness to this drama that isn't often seen. Though the actions of these characters are extreme, there is a tenderness that is consistently expressed. GO WATCH THIS DRAMA RIGHT NOW hahahaha
