Description

Unlike many K-drama series, Wedding begins with two young lovers tying the knot. However almost from the word go, things do not go smoothly for the newlyweds. Se-na (Jang Nara) is a music graduate from a rich family and works as a manager at a theater. She was introduced to diplomat Seung-woo (Ryu Shi Won) and the two decide to marry because they are considered a good match.

As time goes by, however, they clash on virtually every issue because of their different backgrounds and life values. Seung-woo begins falling for his childhood sweetheart, Yun-soo (Myung Se Bin), who is far less reckless than Se-na. But as her husband drifts away from her, Se-na grows more attracted to him and begins to take steps towards reconciling their differences.

Synopsis

Lee Se-na is the only daughter from a wealthy background. Because of her pampered upbringing, she believes that she can get anything she wants if she sets her heart to it. She meets Han Seung-Woo, a self-made diplomat, who is not-so-secretly in love with his childhood friend Yoon-su, currently in Japan with her fiance, Seung-Woo’s colleague Jin-Hui. Se-na instantly falls in love with Seung-Woo, who asks her what she thinks the meaning of marriage is. In their subsequent marriage, their values are questioned as Se-na’s complete trust in Seung-Woo shatters with the realization of Yoon-su’s and Seung-Woo’s relationship, and Seung-Woo’s happiness in marriage shatters with Se-na’s deepening mistrust and her own relationship with Jin-Hui.

Related Facts

This drama was originally supposed to have actor Song Seung Hun play Gun-woo. However, a draft-dodging scandal involving Song Seung Hun broke out, causing him to enlist in the military service. On short notice, Yeon Jung Hoon was selected as Song Seung Hun’s replacement to play Gun-woo. That is why the Photo Album for this drama (which is on sale at YesAsia) contains photos of Song Seung Hun instead of Yeon Jung Hoon.

Air time: Wednesday & Thursday 9:55 PM

Synopsis

A New Style Love Story

There are many unsaid rules and wise sayings about love as well as about breakup. It’s true that most breakup scenes in dramas are a bit trite and cliché-ridden. For instance, it always rains when the story’s main characters break up. Oddly enough, even the one who gets dumped usually wishes for his or her ex-lover’s happiness even though he or she is completely heartbroken. How come every hero in the melodrama is as nice and sweet as an angel? What about something like this for a change - ‘I’m not going to let him get away with this.’ ‘I’ll chase her to the end of the world.’ Or ‘I’ll make him pay for my broken heart and pain.’ Even though a couple breaks up, there are still things left to be taken care of. They need some time to heal so they can later carry on.

A Contract Breakup

Many romantic dramas have used ‘the contract marriage’ (where the people aren’t really married, but pose as if they were) as its subject. However, this drama will introduce viewers to love and contract from the point of view of a couple that breaks up. She isn’t ready for letting him go when he wants to break up with her. He, on the other hand, has met all the requirements and is ready to put an end to this relationship.

The Dreams and Happiness of the Young Generation

The 40,000 young people are reported to be unemployed. Most of young people are looking for a job. They don’t have time to talk about their dreams or hope. This is the story of the young people who search for their dream, strive to achieve their goals and learn something about love and happiness.

Synopsis

Na Bori (Gong Hyo Jin) is a 25 year old woman who desperately wants to be a teacher at a high school she was kicked out of after a misunderstanding with her teachers about injuring a group of male classmates and was kicked out. After getting her GED, she rejects other job offers from other high schools and works on becoming a teacher at her old high school to work with her high school love interest, the art teacher Ji Hyun Woo (Kim Da Hyun). However, the only thing that enables her to get the coveted job is by signing a contract to essentially babysit Park Tae In (Gong Yoo), a troublemaker who attends the same high school. TaeIn, a lonely youth, quickly becomes the “jjang”, or “king” of the high school, and enjoys playing mean tricks on Bori. Noh Jemma (Choi Yeo Jin) is jealous of the relationship with Bori and TaeIn, and goes out of her way to get Bori kicked out…

Reminiscent of My Tutor Friend (http://www.mediacircus.net/mytutorfriend.html) and Sang Doo, Let’s Go To School, Bori is a feisty person, who, despite lacking the credentials, proves to be an excellent teacher. Although she initially wanted to be a teacher with her high school crush, she grows fond of her students and reaches out into their personal lives. Her students also come to trust her, preferring to call her in times of emergencies over their own parents. This drama has everything from dynamic, well-choreographed action sequences to interesting love triangles. Its comic relief is also grandly executed by the two leading roles, known for their exaggerated, comedic expressions.
