Amor e Casamento (2014)

Wow. They took exaggeration to a whole new level with Best Wedding. I love the writer is bringing to light an issue that is prevalent in some countries. I think in the US most judges tend to give custody to the mother, but it is a case by case basis in most states. Plus, in the US there are all kinds of family dynamics. If this drama (even exaggerated) is a depiction of Korean reality when it comes to single motherhood and what makes people family, then it is just sad. Honestly, this drama had me on an emotional roller coaster. I almost gave it a 10 for that alone. However, some of the characters could have been better developed. For example Park Tae Yong was all over the place. Even until the end I was uncertain of his character. I had the same feeling about Hyeon Myeong Yi. I also thought the side stories were unnecessary and boring. Regardless, the ending was OK.

Park Shi Yen and the writer did an excellent job balancing the strength and vulnerability of Hyeon Myeong Yi. Bae Su Bin was also good as the strange and unusual Jo Eun Cha. Their characters were the most consistent and had the best growth. The other actors were fine also. Little Dan is just too cute.

Side note: Although I don't find No Min Woo to be that great of an actor, he does strip a few times in this. Worth watching those parts. Keke

The music was appropriate.

I will never rewatch this.

This is a good drama. I recommend it.

What was that, the ending was just ridiculous. The first three episodes were the only good ones in this show then the bogasness started towards the end around episode 10. i love no min woo but he was portrayed in a different light. He never got to stand up for himself or say what he wanted because of his family or is it the laws of chaebols in korea. Mi young was a very bad ex i mean i couldn't stand her character, the dad was just over the top ridiculous and his whole family. The whole show exaggerated some stuff it left a bad taste in my mouth. I think my only fav actors was cha ki young and her son, i loved to hate jo eun cha but his feminist behaviors were pretty funny. It was so rushed they needed like 2 more episodes, it ended by just plugging stories and stuff.
