Review: Wedding (KBS)

I visited this site called Twitch recently and according to the site, Wedding is among the worst TV dramas of 2005. Well, I couldn't agree more. As much as I like Jjang NaRa, her role as a spoiled rich girl who got married to a simpleton diplomat is very hard to digest. Jjang NaRa's character, Lee SeNa, is very annoying. At first, you'll get to adore her with her cute antics but after she got married to Ryu Si-Won's character, Han Seung-Woo, things went from good to worse. The series is so frustratingly annoying. Due to SeNa's immaturity and jealousy towards Seung Woo's childhood friend, Shin Yun Soo, she always argue with Seung Woo about how he doesn't love her or how he loves Yun Soo more than her, which is hardly the case since eversince Seung Woo married SeNa, all Seung Woo ever thinks and love is SeNa. I guess the only problem is that Seung Woo doesn't show his love towards SeNa openly. It's his nature. But that doesn't mean he doesn't love her, right? It's a matter of understanding. In the series, they always mention this one question: "What is the most important thing in marriage?" Seung Woo said Love. SeNa said Trust. Yun Soo said Money. Nowadays, I guess the correct answer is Money. Practicality. The funny thing about it, SeNa, who said the most important thing is trust, doesn't even trust her husband.

To make matters worse, Yun Soo's fiance, Seo Jin Hee, happens to be SeNa's former lover. I don't know the big deal about this, but in my opinion, the past is the past. What matters most is the present. If you love the person, you wouldn't care about his/her past. But that's just the problem here in this series. SeNa is so irritating that she couldn't accept Seung Woo's past. And to top all that, SeNa made the revalation between she and Jin Hee's past experience an excuse for them to really divorce. I felt sorry for Seung Woo, really. Here he is trying to keep SeNa happy, trying to save their marriage by accepting everything that SeNa throws at him, and SeNa hits a low blow by insisting Seung Woo made a mistake by loving Yun Soo and they should have a divorce. Only in the last episode did SeNa realize her mistake when her father told her that she's a bad person for doing that to Seung Woo. And the ending, for me, never solved anything. I was wondering the whole time... "that was it? after all that time, all it takes for SeNa to snap out of her delusions is a fatherly advice? sheesh!" If I were in Seung Woo's shoes, I'd divorce her. Who would want to have a partner like that?

Bounce.
