take out all the scenes without Jang Keun-suk then you can say: "ah that was worth it"

I am coming [years] late to viewing this. If you are a Jang Keun-suk fan then you may be able to forgive many things but though I did love him in" He is Beautiful" & thought; "how bad could a movie actually be if it has Jang Keun-suk in it"?! I mean I got through" Bel Ami " and was a bit non plussed but it was still enjoyable [if not what I was hoping for]. With "Marry me Mary" , I had high hopes. If you take out all the scenes without Jang Keun-suk, then maybe you could still say; "ah that was worth it" But honestly, this was just a sad disappointment. Even for the date it was made in, it is an impossible premise , But this suffers from the same heavy second lead syndrome that "Boys over Flowers" did [-where you really like the guy who you know will not win, and he will just be left hanging in love limbo.] in this drama, however, It makes no sense as this 2md male lead actually had an interest in the 2nd female lead in the beginning so really they should end up together. "Should" being the key word. They are trying to redefine "happy" ending in light of a modern mindset by pushing hard the message that you can love someone but not want to get married for now or maybe never. OK, but ironically, they didn't actually sell that as a happy ending ! As clingy as he has been, we aren't convinced that Jang Keun-suk 's character actually is capable of such a commitment anyway [, especially given his past record of non commitment]. Female lead spent a great deal of time simply staring sadly instead of talking. So misunderstanding were the fuel of the last few episodes. Sadly, there is not enough fun, fluff, romance or happiness to keep me interested or invested.

*****
If you're going to watch it, you might want to stop after the kiss and the camping trip, because the last 4 episodes don't add anything to the drama
