On Your Wedding Day

THIS WAS AMAZING!! This movie was very realistic, and had a sad but realistic ending, it shows good character development as well, and the acting was amazing! This movie is one of my favorites! If you ever have some free time, watch this movie, it is really good! I don't know how much re watch value this movie has, because it is very emotional, and I tend to gravitate towards lighter dramas and movies when it comes to re watching things, so that is why for me personally, I don't see this having a high re watch value for me, but it is a beautifully orchestrated movie, and I think it has a lot of cute, happy and fluffy moments, and enough emotional moments to make you tear up, definitely recommend.

Beautiful tearjerker

Oh jeez. I really liked this. I don’t even have anything to say, it was just really good. I loved the cast, and I thought the story was very well done. I knew what was coming and I still couldn’t stop myself from wanting the leads to be together so freaking bad. I loved his pure and unending love for her, and the drama was portrayed with so much joy and so much sadness at the same time. Overall, a very beautiful movie. I truly have nothing negative to say about this movie besides the fact that they could’ve made the time jumps slightly less confusing, but that’s just about it. The ending was beautiful and somewhat happy even, because Seung Hee is getting married to a man she (hopefully) loves and both of them can look back at their times together and appreciate just how much they both grew as people because they had one another. It’s a beautiful ending and a more realistic one. Don’t get me wrong, my poor little hopeless romantic heart is weeping. Definitely a tearjerker type movie.

I had waited for this movie ever since it's first still image came out and I was so FRIGGIN excited seeing how the summary sounded promising and the still image looked quite attractive (of course) So, right after this movie got subbed on the day my finals ended, I looked nowhere else and sat down instantly to watch it. So, here's the review.

The story -
The plot of this movie is heartwarming and adorable. A guy falling for a tough female transfer student and then helping her to skip classes and secretly have tteokbokki- already sounds fun. I love movies or dramas which show a long-term story because the characters development in those are pretty exciting. Now comes the talk about the ending.
I personally think the ending of the movie was highly realistic. It makes you sad and makes you want to cry but seriously, the ending couldn't have been better but worse if it was a happy ending. It would look unrealistic and somewhat random if it had a positive ending with both marrying each other. Yes, the ending made me cry as well. But if I had to say it honestly, I disliked the male lead character ever since the high school and college part of the movie ended. He became selfish, and if anyone was in the female lead character's shoes, he/she would have moved on from that guy too. So to me, the ending was pretty much perfect.

The cast-
The cast was perfect too. Everyone played their roles in an amazing way. Park Bo Young is undoubtedly an amazing actress. She can play any roles out there and her acting skill is so diverse and impressive. The rest of the cast is the same and they were amazing too.

So, overall, all I have left to say is that this movie was a great one- a movie which can make you have all kinds of emotions. A real emotional roller coaster- kind of movie. I truly recommend it to everyone!

P.s- I had watched the movie right when the subs came out but I'm extremely late with reviewing,,

This was my first korean movie ever so I can't judge if this is like a must see korean movie but it completely exceeded my super high expectations. I love Park Bo Young, so I did expect a lot from her. She is seriously the best actress out there. Her and Kim Young Kwang's chemistry was so cute and realistic. Though I do admit I was disappointed by the ending because no one likes sad endings to romance movies. I think they could have made the main characters end up together but I wonder why the writer decided not to. I think there was only one original soundtrack to this movie and it is sung by Park Bo Young herself! It is so relaxing and beautiful. I listened to it on repeat.

This movie's story plot made me feel all the feels. I laughed like crazy at some parts, and wanted to cry towards the end. Just please watch it. It is not a waste of your time (like some people are saying). You'll thank me later.

No way this got me crying almost like 2521

I'm writing this one while crying so hard. As a person who is afraid of changes in her life this really got me. I've seen videos of this movie mixed with 2521 when we got that terrible ending too (not overcome it yet) and when I started watching this one because I wanted to watch every movie or drama where Park Bo Young appear, everything looked so familiar and then, the ending. wtf? I mean is so realistic, its something that everyone could face one day, but it still hurt me so much.

So im rating this one with a 7.5 cause I wont be able to watch it again without feeling the bittersweat feeling im having rn and bc the story got me ruined even if its realistic.

On Your Wedding Day: Does Perfect Timing Exist?

On Your Wedding Day attempts to tell the story of Hwan Seung-Hee and Hwang Woo-Yun, who meet in high school after Seung-Hee (Park Bo-young) transfers schools. What follows is a relationship born from a misunderstanding that somehow evolves into genuine — but immature — feelings.
Woo-Yun (Kim Young-Kwang) is portrayed as a lazy, trouble-prone teenager, while Seung-Hee is smart but emotionally worn out. Their dynamic feels forced, and the film leans heavily on clichés without offering much depth or originality.
As the plot progresses, we witness their on-again, off-again relationship, shaped more by life's circumstances than by meaningful character development. Woo-Yun clings to the idea that love is all about timing, but the film fails to explore this concept in a compelling way.
The movie tries to reflect the harsh truth that love alone isn’t enough to sustain a relationship—but it does so in a way that feels flat and uninspired. Instead of emotional resonance, we get a series of predictable moments that never quite hit the mark.
To be honest, I watched it with some vague expectations, but by the end, it felt like a film that never decided what it wanted to be. Lukewarm at best.
And one more thing: the frequent sexual innuendos and suggestive dialogue were unnecessary and, frankly, uncomfortable. It added nothing to the story and detracted from the emotional core the film was trying to build.

SO MANY EMOTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am more of a kdrama person but I will watch a few movies here and there~

Honestly, this movie has SUCH a great storyline, profound meaning, yet includes shallow humor!! It did an AMAZING job of just being SO REAL (realistic in terms of life and just how relatable situations could be).

Acting was hilarious and absolutely portrayed their characters remarkably!

This was such a HUGE roller coaster of emotions of anger, sadness, happiness, butterflies, humor, and just again - ah yes this is life, this type of stuff actually happens.

Just being able to relate to how important timing is, how words/actions can really alter and be life changing, and things just don't always go as planned (in fact, almost never as planned).

Without spoiling, I think the ending was bittersweet.

AND FOR THOSE SAYING THE FL WAS SO SELFISH - nahhh BE SO FOR REAL. She had made the right choice of high self respect/value. (EVEN if I wanted a different ending and agree with many of you).

She had to do what she had to do, bc of her past too remember. In the end, they both bloomed from their tenure of a relationship and honestly, I could see why it ended the way it did...

But I did LOVE the ML... he did an AMAZING job of "I want my man too look at me the way he does" type LOL!!

Overall, would totally recommend this movie!! Great storyline, acting, and really found myself laughing a lot!!

"I Really Regretted A Lot...For Saying I Regretted Meeting You. It's Exactly The Opposite."

"Midnight for Cinderella, 11 pm for Woo-Yeon/Woo Yun..."

Some people gave this movie a bad review, here and elsewhere online, due to the ending...

I wanted to as well at first, but I believe that that director is trying to "say something" by the way this movie ended.

This movie was told from the main male cast, Hwang Woo Yun's (Kim Young Kwang} viewpoint. Much of what I want to say here is how I interpret the main female cast, Hwan Seung Hee' (Park Bo Young) viewpoint, if I may.

Hwang Woo Yun is a happy-go-lucky juvenile delinquent in high school, He probably never had a girlfriend before Seung Hee; if he did, it was only for the "good times" and nothing else. I believe he needed the influence of a girl like Seung Hee earlier in life as well.

I personally would like two see this movie redone, but from Seung Hee's viewpoint.

In a way, Seung Hee needed a Woo Yun in her life as well. Her and her mother, (actress Bae Hae Seon) have been living the life of nomads, trying to stay a step or two ahead of the father/husband (actor Jeon Bae Soo)..He is an alcoholic, abusive apparently to both his family members and blames his wife for his troubles; remember this for later!

Seung Hee, having to stay a step ahead of her father, probably has never had a boyfriend yet; it is implied that they must move every time Daddy finds them again, or suffer from his constant drinking and abuse . I believe that Seung Hee loved her father, but not what he did to her and her mother.

Many reviewers call her "aloof" or "unfeeling" here and on other review sites; I personally believe that she is simply afraid to get close to a guy, any guy, knowing that if her father finds them another move by her and her mother will happen. However, Woo Yun's "bad boy, 'devil-may-care" attitude offers her a glimpse of what it may be like if her and her mother can settle down in one spot long enough to enjoy life for a while. I think she enjoyed not having to be so stoic for awhile!

Seung Hee showed her maturity that she had, and that Woo Yun needed, when she asked him to stop fighting if he wanted to be around her, and she told him, under her breath (by simply using her lips, so her father wouldn't hear her) to "Go!" after her father broke the glass when he forced himself into his wife's and daughter's home. Seung Hee also called Woo Yun and told him that she and her mother were leaving again, due to her abusive father finding them there. Her having to run from her father and not being able to stay in one place is, in my opinion, the reason that she came off what most people call "little or no emotion"; she couldn't afford to show her emotions then have to leave. I also thought it showed great maturity on
Seung Hee's part that she let Woo Yun know why she was leaving and couldn't stay.

While she felt safe from her father, she showed signs of a normal high-school girl, enjoying her time she was with Woo Yun and her fellow high school female students. Do you think you might be somewhat "emotionless" if you did not know how long you can stay in any one place?

They lose contact with each other, and Woo Yun has no real ambition except an unskilled job; that is, until he sees Seung Hee photo in a promo for a university, which finally makes him get off his butt and STUDY for a change. I feel that his parents are proud of his finally shooting for something greater in life!

Woo Yun finally goes to college but finds Seung Hee with a boyfriend; he tried to first sabotage their relationship, then gives her up again when he wins the game to prove her football boyfriend was "throwing the football game' since he had promised both Seung Hee and another girl a weekend for the two of them afterward if his team won, not 'the three' of them! He leaves her upset over the stunt.

They met again when Seung Hee is working in promotions in front of a camera and he also is employed;he drivers her to locations after her ride cancels his taxi service..Woo Yun is again there when she needs him!

While trying to obtain his dream, he visits Seung Hee on-location of one of her shoots and gets hurt saving her, dashing his plans for an athletic career; instead of applying himself, getting a any job and helping her, he tried to get his health back in pursuit of his "dream" athletic job! He could have helped her with any job, then working on getting back his "dream".

This movie depicts how it takes a woman sometimes to get a men motivated for greater things in the real world work: some call this "fate" but other call it physical attraction! This attraction to his lost love is the reason for Woo Yun for finally striving for something greater than a 'burger-flipping' job; it is Woo Yun that gains the most, in my opinion, in this relationship.

Woo Yun went from an amateur athlete dreaming of glory in sports to a teacher, who finds out how big of an ass he was to others while growing up! He matures so much after having to get a real job and put his dreams on hold.

Seung Hee being the more responsible one is paying the bills; however, she tells Woo Yun of a training assignment in Europe for 2-3 years where she can learn to master her profession . But before that can be discussed further, Seung Hee's father dies...again, she really loves her father, but in her pain of losing him, all the pain of trying to live with him while he degraded her and her mother while in his drunken state comes back during the funeral. While Seung Hee is remembering all the things he said and done, Woo Yun opens his mouth and says the one thing that will end their relationship: he is overheard by her saying that "she" could be the reason he cannot make it!

This opens up all the wounds he had caused her in the past, added to this is what her father claimed about his wife/her mother. Seung Hee realizes that Woo Yun is becoming her father! This seals the relationship and Seung Hee takes the job opening and training in Europe that her job offers her.

Woo Yun is left to fend for himself and finally makes the grade to become a teacher. He then finds out how much of a pain he was to his teachers when he finds students under his supervision with the same attitude he displayed when he was a high school student!

In my opinion, had Woo Yun found a job such as this when he and Seung Hee were together, his attitude would have improved and his maturing would have been greatly admired, and appreciated, by Seung Hee.

Both were immature in different ways, but Woo Yun needed to "grow up" more than Seung Hee; on the other hand, she was handicapped in her relations with men due to her father, and that hurt her acceptance of Woo Yun as well.

At the end of the movie, both are mature enough to have a marriage, but not to each other, unfortunately!

I personally like this movie better than the Chinese adaptation entitled My Love (你的婚) (2021):

Both Woo Yun and Seung Hee express their gratitude for each being in the other's life: for Seung Hee making Woo Yun a man, and for Woo Yun for being there for Seung Hee when she needed someone...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjxn216CYaQ whereas You Yong Ci, the female in My Love (2021), didn't say as much to Zhou Xiao Qi, her love for 15 years.

Another great movie about an immature couple getting married and later regretting not sticking it out will be found in Drama Special Season 3: The Wedding Planner (2012), an excellent movie as well!


The cinematography is great, even though some of the shots look like they were done on a hand-held camera...which would how some of the scenes would have been shot if done by a friend with them or them. This to me makes the movie actually more believable as we follow the main cast around town, which almost all of the movie is about.

The music is also great, except for one place, which I figure the director knew better than I about its placement.

The main cast were excellent together and they actually seem to grow as a couple; again, some mention that the female is less emotional than the male lead, but her wariness of establishing a real relationship then having to move again would make this necessary: I actually felt that she was thinking about Woo Yun's feelings should it have happened in the movie.

The support cast did an excellent job in their parts and for supporting the main cast in telling the movie's story.

It is a one to one and a half box of Keenex movie.

RE-WATCH: Yes, but I also think that a movie like this should be mandatory for young people in middle school to watch in order to show them that individuals must give up some of their "needs" and "desires" in order for them to become a compatible couple. Young people are not taught except selfishness these days, and the couple must give up some of their "individuality" so that when the babes come along, they can handle the stress, problems (but also) the pleasures of a family!

Amazing.

I feel like a lot of people are disappointed in the ending, but I believe that the ending was what made this drama, likable and realistic.

I originally I saw an edit on TikTok of the last scene which is originally why I wanted to watch it so I feel like I had a giant spoiler right from the beginning but because of the ending I want to watch the entire movie.

I normally I can’t finish the movie, unless I know it’s a really good movie, but I did end up watching this entire movie without getting distracted because of how good it was.

Great acting, good storyline. 100% recommend!
