He Who Can’t Marry
For the last one to two years, the storyline on Korean romantic comedy has been revolving around young guys and women. Even before starting to watch this drama, by reading on the synopsis, I knew this is will be an exciting and thrilling drama.
This drama revolves around a bachelor Jae-hee (Ji Jin-hee as main actor) who had just turned 40, has everything including a home called his own, a prestige career as owner of an architecture firm and of course he is a guy with extremely good taste for fine things. Why, such a man with an excellent background but still remain a bachelor, unbelievable right?
The issue with Jae-hee, he leads an isolation life, his concept in life is
“he would rather stay at home having a home-cooked steak instead of eating out; rather stay at home during holidays instead of going into crowding places; and after bathing he would not go out”
Well, with these habits he is not the worse guy, right? How about taking care of every single detail at home from a drop of the wine on the table to how the way a towel should hang? Now you get what I meant. This is a guy with extreme good taste but only lives for himself, I would not consider he is living a selfish life, but the way he handles his things at home I would say it is skeptical, annoying and a pain the ass.
How would a woman doctor Moon-jeong (played by Uhm Jung-hwa) in her prime almost reaching 40 finds him as a soul mate? Right?
There are a lot of comedic scenes in the whole drama, although the story line is very different compare to other romantic comedies, there are lacking of touching scenes.
With the existing of a younger woman in her mid-twenties Yoo-jin (played by Kin So-eun) has also bring out the difference of lifestyle and worries for women at different ages.
Overall, it is a good drama to watch as it brings out the life of successful singles in the city life, having dinner alone; watching dvds at night; asking workmates for dinner and etc and you would get a few good laughs too.
