Could have been a really good rom-com. I finished this drama maybe about a month ago and I've been meaning to write this review, so when I finally looked to see what I had rated it, I was surprised. Until I started remembering the audacity of some of the characters. The unbelief and frustration I felt was too overwhelming for me to rate this drama any higher than a 7.5. The Eccentric Daughter-in-Law is about this female idol named Oh In Yeong who's popularity is seriously declining. So the CEO of her agency decides to put her in a reality show about fake mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws. They fake marry her off to this math professor (who's gotta be in his mid-thirties), named Cha Myeong Seok. In Yeong and Myeong Seok don't like each other at first, but obviously end up falling in love, and obviously the mother is opposed. Now, all of this is fine and dandy, it makes for a good rom-com setup. BUT, this drama is filled with hypocrisies tht I just cannot accept. Before I even address the hypocrisies, let me focus in on the two other stories being told throughout this. The CEO of In Yeong's agency is married to Myeong Seok's sister, and his own mother is the reason my rating is not significantly higher. His mother has got to be the worst mother-in-law I've ever seen, and his wife is so passive that it gets to be too ridiculous to handle. Not to mention tht he's a terrible husband to boot. The other story is of Myeong Seok's brother and his wife, and how the wife didn't want to be a housewife anymore (and I LOVED tht story, until they made it about how the wife was a terrible wife and mother). Anyways, when I mentioned hypocrisies, I meant those of the mother-in-laws. Ok, so this drama focuses in on two mother-in-laws, the first being In Yeong's fake mother-in-law, and the second being her agency's CEO's mother. They are both HORRIBLE to their daughter-in-laws, especially the latter. Another unlikable trait of this drama are the male characters. Like, why are they so lame?! The male lead is in his mid-thirties, yet he still lives at home with his mother, and he still needs her permission of who he's allowed to marry. It's unbelievable. And his brother, who is basically living off his wife, is made to look pitiful, while really he's just a loser. The CEO guy has got to be the most unlikable of all the male leads, because he only listens to his mommy, who he knows is terrible to his wife. All these things really frustrate me and bring down the rating to an otherwise pretty good rom-com. Oh, I forgot to mention how the characters have NO CHEMISTRY. None whatsoever. I mean, some of the scenes are cute, but the chemistry is seriously lacking. Not one character has any romantic chemistry with one another. I thought Dasom was great as In Yeong tho, she did a really good job. The girl who played the real daughter-in-law was good too, and the mother-in-law was alright, but other than tht i didn't like the casting very much. On a positive note, this drama is really funny. And I do think it's marathon-worthy (it's only 12 episodes). All in all, the Eccentric Daughter-in-Law is not a terrible drama, it's just really frustrating. Definitely not a must-watch, but if you like Dasom from Sistar or just rom-coms in general, then I'd say give it a shot.
