Only after scrolling through comments i realized that she was in Can We Get Married. So i agree, Han Groo is a chameleon indeed. I wasn’t able to recognize her in these teasers at all. This sparked my interest and maybe i should actually watch at least one ep when it airs.
Criticisms aside, still an entertaining and enjoyable show to watch. This was the most enjoyable rom-com for me so far and really one of my favourite dramas ever. The story is captivating, the characters are all nuanced and well-presented, the casting was great and the comedy was top-notch.
Oh Eun Young’s Report: Marriage Hell ( Episode 11
I agree with everything that you wrote. I really like your insights in all the recaps you do. The actor who’s playing the male lead is hilarious. His comedic timing is priceless and you can just see how much effort he’s putting into being just so cool all the time. Also i feel like he’s so afraid to make ugly faces that he keeps switching between 2/3 expressions only.
Yoon So Hee (
Marriage Not Dating is the newest Friday-Saturday offering from tvN, and I’ve been enjoying it immensely for its witty banter, laugh-out-loud humor, and its refreshing take on romance. Not to mention that there’s a hilarious contract relationship in the mix, and some fantastically committed comedic performances from Han Groo and Yeon Woo-jin. I was planning to just weigh in on the show once in a while when I had the time, but LollyPip has graciously offered to tag-team the recaps with me, so that tipped the scales. (Thank her in the next recap!) We’re hard at work, so please be patient—we’ll be caught up in no time. I also remember my first thoughts of the kissing scene from EP1 – I thought ‘of course I’d be kissing my wife everyday like that if she were that beautiful’.
But Jang-mi’s all, now angry dramabeans confronted mistress to dare to insult the woman who tries to keep her family together while Mistress destroyed it. I’ll be honest and say I didn’t get the end where JM tells KiTae to go be with SA even though he doesn’t love her. She seemed to be going down a path of noble idiocy and I did not like it but then the real ending happened and I was somewhat appeased. Let’s get these kids together, make up with the parents and wrap things up nicely.
Favorite Drama Recaps
“PR exec who hates attention and is too shy to be around people” .. Lol I read that name at first as Ryu Hwa-young (Age of Youth), and I was all for it too. Very happy to see Yoon SoHee again and in a role that sounds like it will be the opposite of her character in Let’s Eat. But if he had started his talk with a confession, if might have turned out better.
Reminds me a bit of Ha Ji Won in that she throws herself into different roles and has this healthy, easy beauty about her (but also has a fierce side). Super happy to see you also recapping this show, LollyPip. Your comments are always insightful and it’s clear that you’re really enjoying https://loveexamined.net/ the show, although it helps that the show is actually good so far, ha. The character that irritates me is Hoon-Dong. He charges Jang-Mi with stalking and now he wants her back. PLUS the actor who is playing Hoon-Dong is TOTALLY OVER-ACTING. Its almost as if he is the “damsel in distress”.
They have this strong sex appeal things even without trying. Shinhwa is Shinhwa, Beast is Beast. None can replaced Shinhwa in public eyes. I have some favorite idols (including DooJoon) but comparing Eric with Doojoon seems not correct. The other members of beast are great as well, they all have slowly moved up my list of great idol actors, if they pursue it later in life full time they have a dedicated fan right here.
Yes, we all want a happy ending and have been so focused on that. But, at least I forgot that it was not only Ji Won who was deceived for 14 years but also DHS who stayed hidden for 14 years. He was not himself the whole time, at least by theory. Tbh, I love their emotional scenes. And I hate emotional scenes in general. Anyway, I will miss these characters and this drama.
Mom slaps him hard, and tells him to get out. She tells him not to get married, and to live alone forever – she doesn’t care anymore. I love Jang-mi’s new attitude towards relationships. She is right, I don’t see how they can go for it at this point.
