Wedding Impossible has all the hallmarks of your classic romantic Korean drama. Good-looking and likable leads who go on an enemies-to-lovers journey? Check. One is poor and the other is an heir to a big conglomerate? Oh, check. Funny friends, relatable hardships, fairy tale coincidences? Check, check, check. It’s standard to a tee, which is why it’s remarkable that despite all that, it’s still very easy to like. It’s funny enough, nice to look at, and features winsome performances. Jeon Jong-seo (Burning, Ballerina) may have cut her teeth in edgy roles, but here she’s effortlessly charming. And though his situation isn’t explored in depth, making Kim Do-wan a queer main character is a gusty move for a K-drama. If you want to put something on to pass the time pleasantly, Wedding Impossible is a good choice. But if you want something fresher, edgier, and have no patience for nonstop tropes and cliches, you’re better off exploring other entries in the genre.
Synopsis
Romantic mission between an underdog actress planning a fake marriage VS ambitious soon-to-be brother-in-law who opposes.
Storyline
A struggling actress and her closeted best friend know every single thing about each other, or at least they think they do. When the latter’s grandfather forces him to marry into a rich family, the friends pretend that they’re engaged.
TLDR
It’s basically cotton candy: sweet and light but has zero weight and nourishment.
What stands out
K-dramas are a couple of steps behind when it comes to representation, so you have to give the show props for including a gay character. That said, I do wish they would explore this side of him more, instead of just using his queerness as an excuse to further the plot.
God forbid that a country is more conservative than America and doesn’t splash LGBTQ across the screens in every movie and show.
The story doesn’t seem right when the third lead person doesn’t get the main lead person but in this, there is a clear betrayal!!!! I hate the plot and the roll of the female is somehow disgusting. Even if there is a problem with person don’t give hopes to them. And you should not make any promise in the first place if you can’t fulfill it. Story was good in the starting but after that it gets boring and disgusting. Don’t want to see the end of the story.
