My comments:
The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry (MBC, 16 episodes) was a cute little drama about how women in their mid thirties are looking for love when they have a successful career. I especially like the friendship of Shin Young, Da Jung and Boo Ki, such opposite personalities and ideals but they make a fun-silly trio. They went through happy times, hard times, crazy times and embarrassing times together.

The main romance was between Shin Young and Min Jae who is a decade younger than her. Not only that but Min Jae’s mom also had a little romance line with someone who is a decade younger than her also. Both romances mirror nicely as when Min Jae’s mom opposed her son’s relationship, she also faced the same kind of opposition as well. I must say, what an unbelievable fate that Shin Young, Min Jae, Sang Woo and Sang Mi have. Shin Young and Sang Woo used to be exes but in the future, they might possibly be father-daughter in law; how creepy!

While I enjoyed Shin Young and Min Jae’s romance, my favorite character was actually Boo Ki. She’s the coolest of the trio with her snarky comments and I absolutely love her haircut. Da Jung was a character that can get on your nerves when acted overboard but Uhm Ji Won handled it quite adorably. I’m happy that that Da Jung got her wishful happy ending while Shing Young and Min Jae’s ending wasn’t overly fairytale-ish. It’s good to see Boo Ki remaining the same but I would so like to see Shin Young’s sunbae at her mercy or even at Shin Young’s mercy for being a jerk all that time…I think everyone did great in the drama and it was a drama that brought a smile to my face when I finished it.
