“You’re the only mistake I want to keep making… for the rest of my life.”
Plot:
Kang Ji-ho (Park Seo-joon), a seasoned divorce lawyer known for his sharp wit and unflappable demeanor, has seen it all. But his own life takes an unexpected turn when his chaebol grandfather (the head of a vast fortune) demands that he marry in order to claim his inheritance. Enter Han Se-yeon (Han Hyo-joo), a wedding planner with a heartbroken past. After being left at the altar by her ex, who is now the cold, calculating CEO of a hotel chain (Lee Dong-wook), Se-yeon has given up on the idea of love.
Desperate to save her family’s business, Se-yeon agrees to a one-year marriage contract with Ji-ho, knowing that her only option is to play the role of his wife without letting feelings get in the way. However, when Ji-ho’s first love (Kim So-eun) reappears, determined to win him back and secure both his heart and fortune, things get complicated. What begins as a business arrangement turns into an emotional rollercoaster as the lines between fake love and real feelings blur.
Review:
I Only Want to Marry You is a dazzling K-drama that seamlessly blends humor, romance, and a dash of tension. The chemistry between Park Seo-joon and Han Hyo-joo is undeniable, as they effortlessly navigate the emotional highs and lows of their evolving relationship. Ji-ho’s stoic, yet vulnerable, persona makes him an intriguing character, while Se-yeon’s quiet strength and vulnerability add depth to the story.
The twists and turns in the plot, particularly the arrival of Ji-ho’s first love, keep the drama compelling and full of suspense. The love triangle that ensues is complex, emotionally charged, and impossible to predict, with both Ji-ho and Se-yeon struggling to confront the real feelings they have for one another. The love story is tender, yet filled with the kind of comedic misunderstandings and awkward moments that make for an irresistible K-drama watch.
The supporting characters also shine, especially Kim So-eun as Ji-ho’s first love, whose return adds an extra layer of tension to the plot. Lee Dong-wook’s portrayal of the cold-hearted ex who broke Se-yeon’s heart adds a layer of complexity to her emotional journey.
Visually, the show is stunning, with beautiful cinematography that captures the heart of Seoul, particularly during the iconic rain-soaked rooftop confessions and glittering ballroom disasters. These moments, coupled with the perfect blend of heartfelt drama and light-hearted comedy, elevate the series and make it a must-watch for fans of second-chance romance and emotional storytelling.
