If you haven't yet started watching any of the currently airing dramas, you couldn't pick a better time to start. With such an array of incredible dramas airing at the moment, it's confusing where to start. That's why I'm here, to give you a slight push in the direction of Best Wedding.
(They look good right? Guess what, they look even better when they move.)
Three words: No Min Woo; or at least that's the reason I began watching Best Wedding (aka The Greatest Marriage).
If you weren't completely sold on No Min Woo, I can understand. So how about the unconventional, almost taboo story line? There's the lovely and gorgeous Park Shi Yeon. Then how about Bae Su Bin as the villain? He has played some pretty amazing villains before, like in Secret Love. Still not convinced? Let me see if I can bring you to the No Min Woo side.
I will admit that I wasn't completely sold on this drama in the beginning, but as soon as No Min Woo and Park Shi Yeon's characters started to interact with each other, the drama took a whole new route. The chemistry between these two actors is remarkable and is one of the main reasons I keep coming back week after week. They make the story believable and heartfelt, all the while dripping on the comedy like caramel on top of a well built sundae, the cherry being their romance scenes. On a side note, the rest of the cast are incredible as well.
(Don't be stressed No Min Woo, they will start watching soon.)
Romance not your thing? Don't worry; this drama isn't strictly a lovey-dovey crying-fest (though all three adjectives are readily present). This drama is about a woman who chooses to be single despite the public criticism she receives. It's about a problem women face every day, and this drama does an amazing job of putting the issues out in the open and giving you something to think about.
Synopsis as of current episode (no spoilers):
Cha Gi Yeong (Park Shu Yeon) is an accomplished anchor woman who puts the thought of having a husband and a child aside to pursue her career. One day she meets an internet famous blogging chef named Park Tae Yeon (No Min Woo), and their romantic food tour of Korea begins. However, the unexpected happens in the form of a pregnancy. If you want to know how they handle this little surprise, and where Bae Su Bin comes in, you'll have to watch the drama.
(No Min Woo is judging you for not watching Best Wedding.)
Should you watch this:
If you haven't been convinced yet, then I think I haven't done my job. But I will not give up yet.
This drama is fresh. Too many dramas that are airing nowadays rely on romance and action to drive the story. It's hard to find a good drama that has meaning behind it. Best Wedding gives you something to think about while you're watching it. Nevertheless, it's written in such an enjoyable and fun way that you can't help but laugh and cheer on the characters. Each episode gets better and better, and soon even the side stories start to get to you. This drama may not be perfect, but there is no reason for you not to give it a try. And come on, can you really resist No Min Woo's smile? (bonus: he has shirtless scenes, yay for chocolate abs)
Overall, I'm truly enjoying this drama, and I think a lot people will too if they only give it a try. Since the drama is only seven episodes in, nothing is stopping you. It airs every Saturday on TV Chosun and you can find it online.
