The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry, ep. 14-16
Tue, Jan. 4th, 2011 08:09 pmOkay, this is definitely up there with Coffee Prince and Dal Ja's Spring as one of my favorite trendy dramas, and it may actually surpass them at some points (particularly the ending, since it didn't get an episode extension). It has less "awwwwww so cute" moments than CP and less hilarious-making-fun-of-drama-tropes moments than DJS, but it makes up for it by having situations that feel extremely real. And much like the above two dramas, the main romantic male leads make me want to hug them and call them Bob, and I adore the main romantic female leads.
This is the story of three 34-year-old women and their love lives and careers. There are also two older woman/younger man romances, each with a nearly ten-year age difference. I love how the drama addresses the problems with the age difference—I'm for older woman/younger man, but a 30-some-career woman dating a guy in college is going to interesting generation- and age-based issues. I also love how the second couple provides an excellent foil to the first, and the way the romantic polygon is written is brilliant. As I've noted previously, it's constructed in a way that already has so many issues and awkwardness that the writers don't have to resort to Big Misunderstandings or Big Secrets to create drama; I actually really love this drama because even though some reveals are put off a bit, all the people generally talk to each other.
( Spoilers )
Overall, this is an incredibly funny series that is also very romantic and serious about issues that feel very real for what I assume is the target demographic (middle-class working women in their 30s and 40s), and it touched on a lot of things that either I think about or that people I know think about. Highly recommended.
Very worth watching, and available on Dramafever for Canadians and USians.
