The Wedding Scheme (2012)

For some reason I was expecting this to be a Korean Pride & Prejudice, it wasn't. What could have been a very good drama ended up being less than what it ought to have been. The main culprit being the storyline (being somewhat mediocre) and to make matters worse it then failed to develop.

Although at the beginning I found the lead girls acting and mannerisms annoying to the extreme, she started calming down about half way through the drama.

The mother is the character that ended up annoying me the most, Her behaviour and actions were inexplicable. She wasn’t evil or good just strange & indifferent. She changed her views without any epiphanys or learning new facts. The premise of the drama was that the mother wanted to get her 4 single daughters married off. She does absolutely nothing to bring this about & when two of her daughters find prospective bridegrooms she objects to them both. She should have been a character that is sympathetic but I am afraid I just found her odd.

I would have liked more of the story to focus on all the sisters romances rather than focusing on non-existent family feuds & a birth secret storyline which goes absolutely nowhere.

The shining beacon in this drama is Lee Kyu Han, his acting both the excellent comedic turn and dramatic was a joy to watch. He is the reason I kept watching and I would urge anyone to give this drama a go if just for him.
