Forgiving Over The Tons Of Mistake, And Forget It!

A romance comedy drama. Another woman's life destroyed by a basterd man. Following a woman who caught her fiance cheating, then she's straight to breaking up with him. But, yeah, that jerk was destroying her life by leaving a tons of debt to her. While he enjoying his new life with his so-called-wealthy-woman.

I thought this was pure rom-com, but not at all. Yes, heavy on romance-comedy, but the sub-plot wasn't a lite at all. There's a sub-plot about political bussiness and the bussiness monarchy. Not full of lovey-dovey, instead the sub-plot might be overshadowing the main-plot. At least, for me.

I would hundred percent enjoying this, if the sub-plot not stealing the whole spotlight of main-genre. Instead of focusing on the growth of fake marriage and their relationship, they're focusing more on the sub-plot of Kim Woojoo's family and the dirty political bussiness, kinda miss.

I get the dot of those political-bussiness-thing with Kim Woojoo's trauma, yes I got it. But, the way they switching the genre into thriller was a bit over, suddenly get darker, and suddenly soften. The tension was not build smoothly like the first 5 episodes. But, I'm glad the problem solving was undepth and simple. Eventho, not stick on the track.

Never doubting the performance of both heroine, Choi Wooshik and Jung Somin, they served their best chemistry. Both are success to delivering their endearing, cute, and cherish character.

The color grading that warmth and bright, giving the delightful ambience of romance comedy, while the cinematography looks pretty and simple. The soundtrack were ear-catching.

Anyway, shot out to Copywriter-nim, peak performance of copywriting by putting 우주 (Woojoo) 메리 (Meri) 미 as the title! The words-play of both literal meaning in english (Would You Merry Me) and the korean pronounciation (Uju-meri-mi) one was INSANE. So creative!

Overall, if you craving for romcom with fake marriage trope, this one might be for you. Not the best, but decent. I've been missing this kinda romcom honestly, so my experience still solid, cute and exciting!
