Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency (2019)

I'm not gonna lie saying this: I decided to watch this drama because of the big amount of comments saying that it was a "No-No".
A lot of people dropping it and stuff like this.

So, I just got curious and decided to give it try.
Once finished it, I can tell that it wasn't THAT bad. I mean, I was expecting something definitely worse
(I prepared myself for the worst).
It wasn't a masterpiece but it was decent. I liked it.

The way writers built each character in a different way, with a different (and sad) background was really a good idea.
I liked that.
Still, I can understand why people lost their interest in it: there was no development. This is 'cause writers preserved it for a big finale. But I'm gonna talk about this later.
I think that another problem was Soo's character. He was so marginal, kinda meaningless. The writers weren't able to let viewers get attached to him. They could have worked so much on his character...
Talking again about the plot development.
The problem was this: the whole drama IS in the LAST episode, basically.
I'm serious. It was like the writers put all their ideas there. In fact ep. 16's finale was SO rushed. It's really a shame. This could have been a lot more interesting and entertaining and there could have been a different development of the story itself, but also of characters and their relationships.
A lot of WASTED POTENTIAL.
(OST awesome. I really liked it).

A well-written story of love, drama and suspense.

A well-written story that will keep you entertained until the very end. Flower Crew has drama, suspense, comedy, political intrigue, and romance that will make your heart flutter. Sometimes I read a negative review, and I wonder if that person even watched the same drama. So many people skip over and fast forward through episodes, then try to write a review as if they had some hidden awareness. Don’t make that mistake; every episode in this drama is essential. The story is well written, each episode building up to a grand finale. Subplots are all completed, nothing left to the imagination.

The acting was fantastic. Gong Seung Yeon’s portrayal of Gae Ddong/Yoon Su Yeon was the backbone of the drama. From the first episode until the very end, she pulled each character into her circle of excellence. Kim Min Jae as Ma Hoon matched well with her, as did the other ML Seo Ji Hoon, who played Lee Soo/Kim Soo, the King. In addition, dual villains kept everything exciting and provided enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat.

The romantic story was perfect, with the flow of love between FL and ML building up the entire drama. If you feel sorry for losing ML, that tells me you didn’t watch the whole series. The chemistry wasn’t blazing, and the kisses were average, but the romance was over the top—a match made in heaven. Two people pushed together by fate find love under the most difficult of circumstances.
