Overall a fun watch.

The matchmakers is one of those dramas that i am on edge about. I neither loved it nor hated it. But the story was interesting enough for me to continue watching it. The show was hilarious at times.
I enjoyed watching the first 6 and last 3 episodes the most, the mission to marry the three sisters thrilled me and I was excited to see who each one of them will be paired with. Apart from the 3 sister’s marriage mart, the love story between our main leads, a widow and widower was intriguing. As their situation was no ordinary one, the curiosity keeps you going. The interactions between Lord shim and Lady yeoju were fun to watch. Rowoon is such a cuteheart throughout the drama, his expressions and body language was hilarious. I never thought he could play a comic role this good. He brought life to the show.

The drama started out soo well but lost track in the middle of the story. The matchmaking mission slowly turned into a murder mystery mission . And to solve those murder mysteries, new characters were introduced out of nowhere. They felt out of place to me. The homosexual monk and lady jung’s brother in law story didn’t explain how and why real lady yeoju was falsely accused of murder? This story was most out of place in the drama.

I was kinda bummed that none of the 3 sisters ended up with the bachelors they were initially paired up with in the matchmaking process. Considering how lady yeoju was an expert matchmaker and not a single match went according to plan!! I know it was because they weren’t meant to be but still atleast one pair could’ve had an arrange marriage if not all. To set an example that arrange marriages can work too, not everyone falls in love. Suddenly all old bachelors and ladies fell in love in the same episode. It was bit hasty.

Last but not the least a teenager boy and an adult women were paired up to get married. That was uncomfortable to watch. I was soo mad about this pairing it made me forget about other couples.

The drama was a rollercoaster ride with its ups & downs and good & bad moments. But the story was original and different from what I have watched before . Also can’t deny that the show was hilarious.
