AKA: All About Marriage
Genre: Romance, Family
Episodes: 56
Broadcast period: 2010-Jun to
2010-Dec
Cast: Baek Il Seob, Ko Du
Shim, Kim Ji Young, Lee Jong Hyuk, Oh Yoon Ah, Han Sang Jin, Sung Hyuk and Lee
Da In.
This drama revolves
around 4 couples where one of each couple is a member of the Kim family.
Kim Jong Dae (Baek Il
Sub) is a father of three grown up children, and is married to Oh Soon Ok (Go
Doo Shim) a diligent and nice woman. But this doesn’t stop him from getting
butterflies in his stomach when he meets his first love again. Kim Tae Ho (Lee
Jong Hyuk) a newly appointed professor is the oldest son of the family, married
to happy and bright Nam Jung Im (Kim Ji Young) whom he has lost his attraction
in. This also made him look at the much younger and single coworker, whom he
imagines and dream about every day, and eventually gets noticed by his wife and
the two divorce. Kim Yeon Ho (Oh Yoon Ah) is a teacher and the second oldest
and the only daughter of the family, with only one goal: to marry a rich man.
This goes wrong when she falls for the poor single father Han Kyung Hoon (Han
Sang Jin), who is the father of one of her students. Lastly is there is Kim
Kang Ho (Sung Hyuk) the familys youngest, and the one called out to be the
failure of the Kim’s. He somewhat fulfills that role until he meets Yoo Da Hye
(Lee Da In) who adores and admires him for his honest and naïve personality.
The two befriend each other and eventually fall in love, and by accident become
pregnant.
The drama follows Jung
Im’s revenge of becoming so famous that her ex-husband will regret divorcing,
but also the family fighting the social situations as infidelity, divorce,
premature pregnancy and marrying to the poor.
After dragging this on
for 4 years (yes I started watching this in 2010), I finally finished this
push-and-pull/melo drama. Even though I spent a lot of episodes just wanting
this to finish, I gotta admit I did end up missing the family. I guess that
happens after these long ones: I really felt that I was saying goodbye to
someone I knew. The storyline is much alike the KBS daily dramas, yet it has a
different feel: it kind of is happy and funny, but knows when to be sad (which
also might be because it is 4 years old).
The cast is quite
likeable, and dislikeable, which makes them great actors if you ask me. And not
like the typical Korean overdramatic “trying-to-hard-to
-become-so-hateful-making-you-roll-your-eyes” LOL.
All in all an okay
drama.
