Hey everyone! Hallyu Tanya and I are back with yet another video drama review (Whoa! We’re on a roll!) and this time we’re chatting about CSTV’s newest drama, The Greatest Marriage.
So tell us, what did you think of these first two episodes? Did you find them as funny as we did? Are you as intrigued by these characters and their relationships as we are? Where do you see things going from here? As always, we’d love to know what you’re thinking so be sure to leave us a comment below!

Ooh I’m interested in your take on this drama. I watched the first two episodes because I’m a huge fan of Noh Min-woo but by the end I found that I really didn’t care for any of the characters. His character is such a huge baby, for heavens sake his mother CHANGED HIS SHOES for him. I was left speechless by that scene. I will continue watching of course because …. well Noh Min-woo. He really is amazing eye candy. But I may just fast forward through every thing but his scenes. LOL Oh and I thought that he was in his twenties not his thirties. Wasn’t there a scene where they told each other their ages? He calls her noona several times so I assumed that she is older than him. Every thing was moving so fast I probably missed it. 😀
I can totally relate to your No Min Woo feels. Woo! I’ve been a fan of his for quite a while. Haha. His character in this show really is a spoiled baby. He’s never had to do a day’s worth of real work in his life and it seems he’s completely used to getting his way. Sure, his dad may throw books at his head occasionally but he’s still allowed to live the life he wants. I suppose that could change now that he’s gone and got his girlfriend pregnant but we’ll just have to wait and see how things work out on that one. As for his age, I also thought he was in his 20s (probably because in real life he is) but I think his character is supposed to be 33. Somewhere in the second episode it was mentioned that Ki Young was only two years older than him and since she’s 35, that puts him at 33. (And how the heck does she look that good at 35??? I’m 35 myself and I can guarantee you, I don’t look anywhere close to as amazing as she does! *sigh*)
The characters in this story are a bit different and I think they may take some getting used to. I really can’t stand Jo Eun Cha though. He’s such an awful person, inside and out, and I want nothing but the worst for him. Cha Ki Young is someone I think I could get behind if she wasn’t so jaded. It’s obvious she’s had a rough life and has had to put up with a lot of crap from others, as she worked her way to the top, which has left her with some serious issues, especially when it comes to her perspective on men. I think as this show progresses, she may come to find that not all men are the evil scumbags she seems to think they are. I’m hoping that’s the case anyway, otherwise her relationship with Park Tae Yeon (or any other man for that matter) will never amount to much. I do admire her strength and determination though, she’s worked hard to make her dreams come true and she’s not the type of person to bow to the wishes and whims of others, just to get their approval. She’s decided she doesn’t need the world’s approval to do whatever it is in life she wants to do and I like that. As for the rest of the characters, I think I need more time to decide how I really feel about them. I think they have the potential to be interesting but as of yet, they’re just kind of there to set up the story and push it along a bit. Until they play a bigger part, I’m just going to let them be.
I am looking forward to seeing how this story unfold. I’m really hoping it’s not another Mi Rae’s Choice (aka Marry Him if You Dare) where the jerk of a male lead ends up stealing the spotlight from the younger, more attractive, all-around better second. I’d like to think that, being the father of her baby, Tae Yeon stands a better chance of winning out in the end but who knows? It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been disappointed in the way things work out in Drama Land! Still, there’s no point getting myself worried over nothing as we’re only 2 episodes in, anything could happen. 🙂
