Would You Marry Me?

Loved the main leads story but the ex was annoying

The story was very interesting and literally caught my attention since the beginning. I loved how the story developed for the main leads.
What I couldn’t tolerate was her ex who literally caused more problems in the drama, although it’s normal since he was the “villain” of the story , I didn’t like the fact that there weren’t enough screen scenes for the second couple and the Ex’s presence kinda eclipsed them. If the 2nd couple had more screen time and a love story more developed, well it would’ve been definitely better and the drama would’ve been more beautiful. I was excepting them falling in love at the end with also a kiss but it didn’t happen; at the end of ep 12 in the last scene with them it seems like they were going to fall in love in the future but I would’ve preferred seeing them together at end in those 12 episodes 😅.
Despite this, the plot was great . I loved the twists and how bad people were punished for what they did and also the ending for main couple was beautiful.

Cliche that tripped on its own feet with a sleepy execution!

This drama started as one of those dramas that tried embracing all the cliche tropes you can think in romcom and redefine it, but mostly ends up in the same old direction. It was entertaining until it wasn't. Somehow, it was all so predictably predictable from the start until it suddenly nosedived straight into "convenient plot" territory. It’s lazy writing at its finest.
I like cliches when it is done well, but here it was filler on filler moments that added absolutely nothing to the actual plot or the character development of the leads. It was like they had a solid story in their mind and it started well too and then suddenly they just got distracted by shiny objects.

Let’s start with the lead characters. Yoo Meri, the supposed “independent entrepreneur” who makes decisions with the logic of someone reading their horoscope backwards. She is quirky and crafty, but as we went on, it felt like everything revolved around Wooju. I couldn't figure out her personality or the lack of it. Wooju wasn't much different from her, but he had a bit more depth in comparison with the classic tragic male lead of the kdrama vibe surrounding him.
Their chemistry works in spurts. It is adorable in some scenes but I feel the writing didn't give enough material to really have anything substantial. Somehow, the "rom" and "com" in this romcom were lost and buried in the family drama and the ex overstaying his welcome.

Now, about that second couple… if anyone can find the romance between them, please send it via courier to me. The real issue wasn’t with them as characters but it was the complete lack of screen time they were given to actually be those characters. I wouldn't even call them a couple because it feels like a stretch and honestly they barely developed into one. They had everything it takes for classic strangers to friends to lovers arc, but the writing glossed over the growth or what could have been the growth. For 80% of drama, the SFL pined on the ML, and the sudden shift felt abrupt. And SML was the most interesting character for me here. He had a backstory and something to achieve and prove. But again, not enough or required focus was given to him to justify his arc. Their love story and individual story were such a wasted subplot that actually had a lot of potential.

Coming to the main issue I had was this felt strangely hollow. Like the whole drama is pretending to be emotional and deep but without actually feeling anything. I am not sure how much that line makes sense, but I will try explaining. All the conflicts and the issues they faced came from outside like money problems, annoying ex, nosy side characters, stupid family matters. What's missing is the inner mess and the actual emotional conflict. Where is my self-doubt or quiet realisations that actually make the chaos and the journey not feel performative. The whole time they just reacted to problems instead of actually learning and evolving with them. And that’s the problem or should I say a me problem that I can’t connect with characters who don’t seem to have any inner world.

Another thing was too many arc overload. They opened too many unnecessary threads and somehow didn't have time to wrap any neatly. The supposed villains overstayed their welcome and the family drama subplot was boring. So many illogical things happened just because of plot armour and convenience.

Acting-wise, it was decent. Jung Somin tried her best to bring life to Yoo Meri's character but something just didn't add up completely. It was my first time seeing Choi Wooshik and I feel like this shouldn't be a drama where I form an opinion about him. I did find his portrayal cute and mature, but Wooju as a character was also dull. Baek Nara is a talented actor but he should choose better scripts, a script that justifies his quality acting. Seo Bum June as the ex was caricature-ish and I guess that is how he was written. I didn't like the character but the actor did decent. Other side characters were also fine, though a bit over the top at times, whether it's Wooju's aunt or the ex's mother or sister.

One of the characters i appreciated the most was Meri's mother. I liked how supportive she was unlike the other mothers we have had in the dramaland. It was refreshing to see!

Production screamed money. The houses and neighbourhood were beautiful. The drama had some good OSTs. All I want is you by Seungmin is my favourite from the lot. But I guess aesthetics and good music doesn't matter if the plot is weak.

Overall, what could have been a serviceable romcom somehow became boring and a chore to finish. It's cute at times but it doesn't light up the sky as I thought it will. Will I recommend it? No.
