Goddess of Marriage (2013)

Omg how do i start this?

Story: The whole story isn't so bad but its one of those dramas you keep watching thinking the next episode will get better but then are continually disappointed. YES! the main guys are cute but don't let that distract you (that's what happened to me), The main female really annoys me (song ji hye) she keeps leading a poor guy along but know she's engaged and can't keep her decision start forward with herself and her family she keeps letting her family decide her future overall guys... watch this drama if you don't have anything better to do with your life, this drama is definitely over it's levels of episodes this drama should be 16 ep or shorter. The only reason i gave this drama overall 7 is because of song ji hye older sister who by the way IS FUNNY AS HEll, i love her character as a mother, wife, employee

Acting: Again guys love the older sisters acting and husbands other then that everyone acting is so so
(my personal opinion)

Music: sucks:( doesn't match the drama at all

Rewatch: The only way i would rewatch this is to reply the funny moments of the older sisters live lol she hilarious

Overall: you already know


Thanks to everyone who likes my reviews

There is a degree of sophistication to this drama that you must grasp from the beginning or else you will label it 'boring'. From the beginning, the cinematography combined with the universal feelings of being 'unsure' captivated me. Alas, this drama is not for one that don't like slow development in plot. It realistically captivates what it is like to fall in love within a whim with a potential soulmate and being with someone for the sake of righteousness. It deals with these two themes very well. Of course, this is only the main story and many sub-plots of other marriages shine too.

Ji-hye is a character who is naive in love and a hopeless romantic. Seemingly, she just wants to live a simple life without materialistic things and this is what I adore about her character. Her stubborn pride, at times frustrates viewers but it is just her defence mechanisms against her moral convictions. Not to mention, her stylist did an amazing job in depicting her as a sophisticated radio-writer.

The fruit of it all is Hyun-woo. Like Ji-hye, he believes in the concept of soulmate. Long after Ji-Hye is married, he cannot forget the indentation that she left in his life after 3 days in jejudo. You may think it is too fast to develop feelings but if you think it philosophically - in the past people married within days of meeting because they sensed they were the one. In our times, people can fall in love anytime, anywhere and I think it is so beautiful how the writer has portrayed the innocence of love.

However, this is 32 episodes long and there will be tribulations to understand. I hope that you take time to appreciate the beauty in the writing. Each character plucks a different life string.

I have re-watched this drama four times and each time, I delve deeper into the realities of what marriage is like through different lenses.

As for the ending, I thought it was perfectly crafted. Opened but not too opened for you to feel like you wasted your time.
