“Wedding Impossible” is right here! Jeon Jong Seo makes a much-anticipated return to the small display screen in her first present since “Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area,” and it’s her first rom-com drama. We’ve an array of recent faces on this solid, with it additionally being Moon Sang Min’s first lead position. So how does the present maintain up? Pretty effectively. Here’s every thing we beloved concerning the premiere episodes!

Note: spoilers for episodes 1-2 of beneath.

1. Lee Do Han

What in case your youthful brother was a controlling mother or father, a mother-in-law, and a matchmaker rolled into one? That’s the difficulty presently plaguing Lee Do Han (Kim Do Wan), one of many many heirs of LJ Group. The chaebol household is rife with successors which have confirmed themselves to be corrupt time and time once more, leaving LJ’s Chairman and their grandfather Hyun Dae Ho (Kwon Hae Hyo) down to 2 choices for in terms of selecting his successor: Do Han or our male lead Lee Ji Han (Moon Sang Min).

The hassle is that Ji Han doesn’t need something to do with the place. Rather, he’s been grooming his older brother for it for years. Only, Do Han doesn’t need it. And he most actually doesn’t need to marry Yoon Chae Won (Bae Yoon Kyung) with the intention to maintain onto his title. Representation of various identities is uncommon in Okay-dramas, however when a homosexual male character is included, their character tends to be a supply of humor. That’s why it’s so refreshing to have Do Han take his life in hand and wrestle by means of the truth that his very id is stigmatized. He doesn’t even know if he can ever have boyfriend with out it turning into media fodder or a weapon utilized by his merciless relations. Now, that’s a fantastic character in a troublesome scenario, and Kim Do Wan is taking part in out this battle to the hilt.

Do Han’s conscious that he lacks the {qualifications} and social backing for the place as his mom had him and Ji Han out of wedlock. He can’t get married and reside a lie, and the unhappy factor is that he doesn’t even belief his personal brother with the reality that he’s homosexual. And why would he when Ji Han and his grandfather are each decided to see him topped? But that’s the place his finest buddy Na Ah Jung (Jeon Jong Seo) is available in.

2. Na Ah Jung

Jeon Jong Seo is carrying the present as far as the down-on-her-luck actress with a spine of metal and who has her life upended in the midst of a number of days. Ah Jung’s no Candy, though components of her scenario appear to suit the invoice. She’s an overworked, underpaid, and underused bit-part actress taken without any consideration by everybody within the trade. She’s been making an attempt to interrupt out for years and positively has the expertise for it however is at all times shafted. Casting administrators need her to have the ability to drop every thing and run to fill a component inside seconds, however she has to juggle quite a few jobs owing to the very fact they pay her peanuts. Still, Ah Jung has a spine of metal, and Jeon Jeong Seo brings sufficient battle and desperation to the character that she feels natural.

On the opposite hand, Do Han, her finest buddy of over 15 years, is extraordinarily effectively off. So when he returns to Korea after 5 years, she will’t carry to point out him that she’s doing poorly and borrows (with permission) her buddy’s automotive and clothes to look extra effectively off than she is. But the facade comes crumbling down fairly rapidly when Ji Han approaches her. Why? Because Do Han’s introduced that he’s relationship her.

3. The premise behind the pretend marriage

This relationship enterprise is information to Ah Jung, however she is aware of that he’s homosexual and is completely happy to fake to be his girlfriend. She’s a lot much less completely happy, nonetheless, when she finds out who he’s. The wonderful thing about Ah Jung is that her response feels natural. This is somebody she’s seen many highs and lows with for 15 years. Sure, the truth that he’s a secret chaebol is a shock, however what’s worse is his provide: that she play the position of a lifetime as an inheritor’s spouse for 3 years, after which he’ll divorce her. She will get publicity. He will get to cover that he’s homosexual. Heck, he’ll even pay her 2 million {dollars}. Easy, proper? Nope, Ah Jung is rightfully offended. It’s unhealthy sufficient that he’s been mendacity to her all these years, however to see her buddy throw his cash round as if it may possibly purchase her feels gross. She instantly turns him down and does so once more when he tries to persuade her the subsequent day. If issues had continued as they’d, Ah Jung would probably have caught to her weapons to the tip. But a sure man leaves her with no alternative however to simply accept it.

4. Lee Ji Han

When it come to manipulation, Ji Han and Ah Jung are on equal footing as nice actors. The distinction is that Ah Jung saves her work for work, and Ji Han’s doing it every single day. As a baby, he acknowledged that he and his brother have been the outcasts within the household, introduced in as kids when their mother and father died in a automotive accident that Ji Han feels surprisingly accountable for. The different heirs of LJ Group made their distaste of Ji Han and his brother clear, so Ji Han, on the tender age of eight, vowed to do every thing he may to make sure that his brother reaches the highest.

He’s stored his nostril clear his whole life, whereas the opposite heirs obtained themselves of their grandfather’s unhealthy books through bribery, drunk driving, and the total array of unlawful work that chaebols have a tendency to stay their thumbs in. Yet, whereas Hyun Dae Ho stays surprisingly cool with Ji Han, it’s clear that he values Do Han. Which is strictly what Ji Han desires. Do Han’s inches from having all of LJ Group within the palm of his hand. He simply must get married and assume the throne, so him insisting that he can’t due to his supposed love for Ah Jung infuriates Ji Han. Cue, an orchestrated marketing campaign to interrupt them up. The neat factor is that there’s no spite concerned. For all his meddling, Ji Han’s a comparatively inexperienced flag. He truly enjoys hanging out with Ah Jung and sees himself as doing what he has to with the intention to safeguard his brother’s future.

So what does he do? He gives cash. Ah Jung takes it and promptly returns it after additional thought (we love a sensible, conflicted lady!). He will get her a second lead position in a drama. Her greatest but! She’s excited and over the moon, till she finds out that Ji Han pulled strings to get her the position, ensuing within the actress who was truly solid being thrown out of it. Despite eager to proceed within the position so, so badly, she will’t do to others what was achieved to her and leaves the manufacturing. None of this bodes effectively for her popularity within the trade as a result of folks discuss. And leaving set midway by means of your first day of capturing is a unhealthy look. She is aware of it, which is why she lashes out at Ji Han for forcing her into such an unsightly place. People would mock her for getting the position through connections if she stayed, they usually’ll mock her for being unprofessional and exhausting to work with as soon as she left. Ji Han’s torpedoed her profession. She has no good decisions left.

So she calls up Do Han and accepts his provide. From now on, she isn’t Ah Jung the struggling actress. She’s going to be the spouse of the nation’s most well-known company inheritor.

“Wedding Impossible” does a fantastic job of getting you to really feel for the characters of their introductory week. Surprisingly, it’s Do Han and Ah Jung that actually leap off the web page, whereas Ji Han feels weaker and extra of a cookie cutter character by comparability. Do Han, particularly, is a splendidly realized character up to now. The LJ household dynamic is backstabby as heck, however grandfather Dae Ho appears to have a secure head on his shoulders and, as soon as conscious of Ah Jung’s existence, appeared ready to at the least contemplate her marriage to Do Han. Let’s simply hope that he isn’t evil or behind the automotive crash of Do Han and Ji Han’s mother and father or something. With a decreased episode rely, we’ll be sprinting to the end line with this romance, so it needs to be fascinating to see the way it shapes up. Ah Jung and Ji Han get alongside fairly effectively once they’re not bickering over Do Han’s future. Whether that’ll translate effectively to romantic chemistry is one thing we’ll discover out this week!
