I like her... I think she can also do a romance paired with the actor Choi Kyung Hoon who played her character's…
Yes, I agree. As I said above most likely won't happen. However ever since Under the Queen's Umbrella she has been on the radar for that role. In addition, in the modeling and advertising world she is very established. In Korea she is the face of Maybelline, Pocari Sweat, Alba Heaven and Project M female line of clothing. And remember, Yoon Eun-hye was a newly minted actress too, back then.
Call me stupid if you want but I believe that MBC has big things in store for Oh Yeju. First they had that televised interview with her back at the beginning of this D. Then for the last two weeks we have had her two part interview with Sisun News. In it she says that she would like to do a school drama and she would like to do a drama where she played a Princess who wants to "experience everything without being tied down with her status." The net is ablaze with the rumors that the auditions for Princess Hours remake have started. Both her and Moon Sangman (her CP in Under the Queen's Umbrella) are in that mix. Everyone wants that role, so chances are it won't happen. But you never know. But, in any event I expect that some kind of major role will be coming her way.
Folks, have no doubt this will be a happy ending. This is romantic comedy. Frankly it reminds me of Shakespeare's, A Midsummer Night's Dream -- minus the fairies. After all the sweetness and moonlight and chemistry, to make this a tragedy would be a criminal act. The Director knows that. He wants to do another drama.
I finally get Lady Park. Let me put it in Star Wars terms. The Force was strong in her. But when she married Jo Young Bae she was turned to the dark side and became a Sith!
Again folks got to just chill out about the marriage of CP. History is replete with both child brides and child grooms in royal families. Let me give you a couple of examples. Canute the 7th of Denmark was 13 when he married Gertrude of Bavaria who was 25 in 1171. But my favorite was Horikawa of Japan marrying his paternal Aunt Princess Tokushi who was 33 in 1093. You see, back then, pretty much everywhere it wasn't uncommon to do that. And the child brides who married adult grooms is even more common. The reason they did that was for political reasons. In this case the oldest sister is the one who saved the CP twice, he trusted her, the Empress and King knew that their son, whose life was in danger, would be safer with her. They were fated together, at this point, for just that reason. Can't people just get it through their heads that this Marriage won't be consummated until the appropriate time.
Frankly I suspect these posts are from folks who can't trash the drama itself because it is good. So they are left with this. Maybe they are anti fans of Rowoon? Who knows?
Just finished another two wonderful episodes of angst free drama. Yet, there is angst in another way. When will he kiss her again? How long do I have to wait to see her look at him with those doe eyes? This is what you call stress free angst and I love it! You see, before I started to watch this D, I just finished Marriage Revenge that was a makjang filled with lots of yelling, throwing stuff, and temper tantrums. So, this D is very healing.
The only question I have is can they see this through to the end. In Forever Love we had that stupid forced trip before they could get together. In My Hero she decided to go to the USA for two years. In Forever and Ever we had to have the one episode when Shi Yi was in a coma. And in when I Fly Towards You even though they were always strong together, they didn't officially become a couple until the 19th episode. Will this Director stay strong and just let us bask in the delightful romantic chemistry the MC has given us without something silly happening? I hope so. For me, this will be the difference between four stars or five stars for this drama.
People should just chill about the CP and the oldest Meng sister. In China, Korea, Japan, and Thailand there are plenty of dramas that have an older woman/younger man and female teacher/male students. And needless to say there are plenty of older men/younger woman themes. I am sure that she will become Crown Princess because she is the one who has protected him. The marriage itself won't be consummated until the appropriate time -- that has been obvious -- at least to me. After all the oldest sister is a proper woman who would make Confucius smile. That is her character.
This whimsical, light hearted, romance leaden, drama keeps on getting better with every episode! All the naysayers who posted during the first two episodes have been proven wrong! And what a great twist we have, the real matchmaker is the most angry man in Joseon.
More than that this drama is extremely easy on the eyes. Of course we can all see the visuals with the leads. Jung Bo Min as Sam Soon is simply adorable. Both Jung Shin Hye and Park Ji Won are beautiful. And as for Oh Yeju and as Jo Yejin, when you see her with her hair down -- well what can I say? If you take a Korean dictionary and look for the definition of beautiful, instead of words it would simply have a picture of Oh Yeju, And of course all of their future husbands go from ruggedly handsome to swoon worthy handsome -- but the female posters on this blog can talk about that.
Ratings wise, the Drama is kicking in rising from 3.3 last week to 3,9 nation wide in Korea and 4.2 in Seoul. I wonder what it will be after today's episode? And by the way, 7.9 on MDL is a good number. So I don't understand when someone posts stuff like, "Why is it rating so low?". The fact is The Matchmakers has been number one in it's time slot for most of it's run.
The drama is making quite the point that Ye Jin doesn't want to see Son Sang. Is this a sign or signal that something is going to happen when she does see him? His father has just been made Minister of Defense with the Jo families support. I tell you what, that is going to be a hard engagement to break.
What a great mess up. The "agents of love" have messed up the coupling of the second sister and the sister-in-law. I wonder if and when the switch will take place so that each bride gets the groom they love? Besides the ongoing storyline between the ML and FL, that fixing up of this mess is what this drama is going to concentrate on.
The three sisters and Jo Ye-gin are doing a great job in this drama. Their future in romcoms. with lots of FLs is a very good bet. The love messes that are being created are going to be loads of fun as the episodes unfold. By the way, I also think that the leads are also delivering in this drama. Finally Oh Yeju was visually stunning when she gracefully walks in to meet her (supposedly) future Mother-in-Law. One can see why she has found great success as model over the last year -- so pretty!
Rating for episode 4 is 3.9 only down .1 from Monday. Last week Drama went from 4.5 to 3.6 so it has recovered nicely. Monday rating are always higher than Tuesday, so I expect next week it will back up well over 4. KBS must be very pleased since it had higher ratings than Twinkling Watermelon this week. It is funny TW on MDL has a rating of 8.9 -- an amazing rating ranking it in the top 100 of all dramas on MDL. Yet The Matchmakers is beating it in terms of viewership. I wonder how deep the dislike for Rowoon is on this platform?

Looking forward to episode 11!
By the way here is a new picture of Jo Yegin in modern times with Maybelline. Please drama God's cast her in a modern drama. https://twitter.com/cullensh_/status/1725054317638648053/photo/1
