"The Real Has Come!" it's a romantic comedy drama about two people who make a marriage contract.
Yeon Doo it's a teacher that has a long time boyfriend. She discover that he's cheating on her and also that she's pregnant, at the same time. She wants to keep the baby, but Joon Ha doesn't want that. Yeon Doo then meets Tae Kyung, he's doesn't believe in marriage, but his family is forcing him to get married to Se Jin. To run away from that, the two make a plan to fake a relationship and each will get what they want: Yeon Doo will keep her baby and Tae Kyung will get married to someone who doesn't want anything to do with him and will keep him alone. It sounds perfect, right? But as always, life isn't that easy.
By spending with each other, Yeon Doo and Tae Kyung fell in love and now try to make their fake relationship, into something real.
It's been a while since a 50-episode drama gripped me like this. I really liked the drama, mainly because of the story. The drama developed two topics that are considered a taboo in South Korea: single mothers and people that don't want to get married. It's strange, because they are opposites and contradicted each other. There's a lot of people that these days don't believe in marriage and don't want to have children, but at the same time, there are others who want children, without a partner and that is considered wrong, it's an old custom that needs to be changed.
The romance between Yeon Doo and Tae Kyung is weak, there is no spark and I can't say that I rooted for both of them in that sense, but I really liked how Tae Kyung took the baby as his own, I thought it was a beautiful attitude and how he did everything to protect Ha Neul , that's a real father! Their relationship started the other way around, they started living together and little by little they fell in love, but as there was already a baby on the scene, there was no way to expect something very intense, but for me the biggest problem is that the actors didn't have much chemistry on scene.
The secondary characters really captivate your attention and there is space in the drama for all of them to develop their stories and one of the positive points is that none of them surpass the main ones, they only enrich the narrative.
