its actually a realistic drama from my point of view.... family drama of couple.... in k dramas we can see couple romance with date.... lovey downy like... but in this drama we can see a real life couple who are from different family background struggling to get married...

the main couple was hye yoon and jung hoon.... hye yoon was short tempted person who have really bad memories of past relation[cheating] which make her scared of commitment.... jung hoon is very simple person.. a salary person unsecured about her qualification who loves his women from his heart.... anyway after engagement they are always get fighting for small problems... which leads to many breakup and makeups... family involvement etc

i watch is drama becz of kim young kwang... ki joon & dang bi relation and their love development.. broken family stories... everything was good side leads....maybe feel like draging but its good to watch this drama .... in real life couple facing pbms are shown.... even they love each other.. sometimes.. we can against each other... the all breakups shows how they love each other.... how they can live apart... drama was happy ending

This is not a drama for good girls. This is battlefield of marriage!

The script is outstanding, intelligent and dialogs are true. To say that it presents the problems of couples is not enough. It is definitely not a sweet romance, but a picture of fight between families, greed, ambition, disappointment, love and desire. The pace is super fast, faster than in action movies, you don't get bored even for a moment.

There are no supporting characters, all stories are presented in detail, but the most interesting are mothers, who are well written and even better played.
Mother of him, played by Seon Woo Eun Suk, is pretentious, hypocrite, childish and selfish.
Mother of her, played by Lee Mi-Sook, is vulgar, furious and greedy, she is also a strong mother, who will do everything for her daughters. In fact she is the main character of this drama.
Sung Joon once again plays a character much older than himself, but as always is OK and Jung So Min the same.

There is no cliche, so this is the original drama, sadistically precise and true.

Music is ambitious.

I love everything in this drama. Do I recommend to anyone to watch it again? Only if you want to go through this battlefield again.

I'm not a fan of Sung Joon, but I did enjoy his performance in this show that does an excellent job of exploring the shit and shine of any relationship.
Jung So-Min is my girl, though with those scene-stealing lips! The fact that she has an extensive emotional range is just icing on the wedding cake, baby! Truthfully, I was jealous of Sung Joon. If it was me I would've gone off-script every episode. We would've gone over budget having to do numerous takes or I would've gotten fired. It would've been worth it though! But I don't think Jung So-Min is into black men. She will be in my Jung So-Min inspired fanfiction story titled Soul to Seoul about an African-American exchange student who travels to South Korea to study abroad (no pun intended). Of course, the host family will be living in near poverty, which is the real reason they sent their son to the States in exchange for who they believe is a wealthy white American. They've also arranged for their free-spirited daughter to marry a wealthy autocrat's womanizing son. They're soon shocked to find out that not only is Malik not wealthy but that he is black, as he arrives wearing a #blacklivesmatter t-shirt. All sorts of mayhem ensue as Malik attempts to get to know his host family while confronting relevant issues of race and class in South Korea's cultural underbelly.

A Drama Worth Watching

Surprisingly a very good drama to watch. From the first episode, the plot and characters of this drama were captivating. The main leads of the story are Hye Yoon (the beautiful Jung So Min) and Jung Hoon (Sung Joon) who are deeply in love and yearns for a simple life together. However, as discussions and preparations begin, mothers on both sides start to compete, calculate and weave a slew of expectations and demands that causes mis-understanding between Hye Yoon and Jung Hoon. Eventually, as conflicts continue, doubts start to manifest unto themselves, causing them to break up a few times.

I enjoyed this drama immensely as the script was well written. The director kept the pace moving , and the acting was superb. Apart from the main lead, there are three other intense and complicated love stories and one very difficult, controlling, yet loving and protective mother played by the talented Lee Mi Sook (Deul Ja). Every character in this drama had a strong story to tell and there are many moments that their story made my heart flutter, brought giggles, laughter and tears. The content is mature and I highly recommend this drama if you enjoy watching how complicated love and relationships are maneuvered.

The lady with the blue eye shadow

I came across this drama just to watch Kim Young kwang..... And unfortunately felt the need to comment because this is a repetitive theme in k dramas.
Agreed it's 11 years later and many dramas do not hold up to the passing of time, but this review will not deal with that.

It's about mis-casting.
Just because a senior actor in the k- world is popular doesn't mean she can ace any role.
This lady with the blue eye shadow should have been cast in a full blown drama with all 16 episodes dedicated to her insanity. Not mixed with youngsters and their journeys.

Even though I held the remote on fast forward, there was no getting away from her utterly unlikable, over the top atrocious character.

The subtle romance between the other 4 pairs were all washed away. This drama which had so much hope was sucked into a desperate hole by the blue eye shadow wearer.

So frustrating

Why I dropped this series:

1 I hated the mother. I couldn't stand the way she behaved with her daughters. What kind of mother thinks she can impose her will to others? The kind I despise.

2 I don't like the man lead actor. I can tolerate him as SML but that's all. Although I could probably like him in a more goofy story.

3 The premise. I thought it would be fun, it was rather depressing. I only gave a 2 for the way the sister's story wrapped up. Otherwise awful.

"Can We Get Married?" é uma obra que busca abordar a complexidade das relações humanas, com foco no casamento e nas dificuldades que surgem ao longo dessa jornada, principalmente quando se trata das diferenças entre os envolvidos. Além disso, o drama trata com sensibilidade o tema do divórcio, mostrando a dor e as consequências de uma separação, especialmente quando há filhos no meio. A obra também nos presenteia com a reflexão de que o amor pode surgir em qualquer fase da vida, independentemente da idade.

O drama é, sem dúvida, agradável e tranquilo de acompanhar. Sua narrativa flui de forma simples e, muitas vezes, descomplicada. Um dos pontos fortes da série é a disputa entre as sogras, que trazem uma carga psicológica interessante e acabam sendo um dos maiores atrativos do enredo. As cenas de conflito entre elas são intensas e divertidas, proporcionando momentos de tensão que valem a pena assistir. Os casais, por sua vez, são bem construídos e apresentam boas dinâmicas, com os momentos mais íntimos sendo tratados com naturalidade, sem exageros ou frescuras. Quando a história chega aos momentos de pegação, a química entre os personagens é palpável, o que torna essas cenas ainda mais agradáveis.

No entanto, apesar de suas qualidades, "Can We Get Married?" sofre com uma narrativa que, em certos momentos, se arrasta desnecessariamente. O drama passa muito tempo desenvolvendo situações que, no fim, acabam se resolvendo de maneira apressada e superficial. A sensação de que os acontecimentos acontecem "de qualquer jeito" no final é uma das falhas que mais compromete a fluidez do enredo. Isso enfraquece um pouco a construção da trama, deixando um gosto amargo de que a obra poderia ter sido mais bem amarrada.

Além disso, a série, apesar de trazer reflexões interessantes sobre casamento e separação, não aprofunda tanto esses temas como poderia. Embora passe uma lição válida sobre as dificuldades e as complexidades dessas relações, a execução de alguns aspectos importantes acaba deixando a desejar. O drama não se destaca como uma obra-prima, e faltou um pouco mais de profundidade no tratamento de alguns pontos que, se explorados com mais cuidado, poderiam ter elevado a obra a outro nível.

A obra questiona o que significa "fazer o casamento dar certo", o que implica amadurecimento e aprendizado, e como o amor pode se manter, mesmo diante das adversidades. Em última análise, o dorama sugere que, embora o amor possa ser bonito, ele exige trabalho constante e enfrentamento de desafios.

Embora aborde temas interessantes, como casamento, divórcio e o amor tardio, a trama acaba se arrastando em certos momentos e apressa a resolução dos conflitos no final. A obra não é uma grande referência, mas ainda assim cumpre seu papel ao transmitir uma reflexão válida sobre a vida a dois. Faltou mais profundidade e uma execução mais cuidadosa em algumas questões, o que prejudica a construção de uma narrativa mais sólida. Apesar disso, a proposta geral da obra é boa, e a dinâmica entre os casais, especialmente as disputas entre as sogras, proporciona entretenimento.
