I found the noble idiocy SO frustrating. There was no reason for them to "break up" for a year. And then him thinking that she was dating her co-star. Ughhhh. As I said elsewhere, if I had still been remotely invested in them as a couple, I would have thrown something at the TV. HOWEVER, it was cute how he watched her scenes to the point of memorizing her lines, and I also enjoyed him telling her that her love interest in the drama was terrible. Finally, I enjoyed the gender reversal in the "gets drunk and regrets what they said the next day" trope.

The Kim Bum part was... random and took up a lot of screentime, even though I love Kim Bum. Like, couldn't they just have introduced him in one scene and let us use our imaginations? We could have used more time for Do-han. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that we didn't get to see Do-han end up with anyone, but it still makes me sad.

What the heck was that final scene? Why can't Ji-han just let her do her job? Why was he wearing a suit just to be on her set as she filmed? Where were they running to? Why did they run for so long? Why did no one seem to care that an actress was absconding from filming? Was it actually raining? I get what they were trying to do, but IMO it made zero sense.

I'm never a fan of "character in the story writes up the story as an actual story in-universe," no matter what I see it in.

I had to laugh at "Grandpa felt guilty so he ignored Ji-han who also felt guilty." It's like trauma-related guilt inception.

Anyway, I liked the beginning of this drama but I agree that it lost momentum. By the end I was barely paying attention.

Here is what I liked about these 2 episodes: Do ha seemed happy, and Terry, the Golden Retriver was shown eating at a nice elevated food and water bowl table, helpful for older dogs.

As for the other developments, I have a sneaking suspicion that my name came up in the writing room, and yes, I was too late putting on my protective tinfoil hat, so I'm afraid this really happened:

“There’s this guy, Hacja, who always rants about bad kdrama endings on Dramabeans. I have a feeling he’ll really like the character Ah Jung, so let’s have the ML totally abandon her because of some really poorly explained noble idiocy, then we’ll have a time skip, and then the ML will reappear out of the blue, demand she get together with him because he’ll always be there for her, even though he never has, and she, as if nothing happened, will happily agree.”

“That Hacja will be fuming for the full 2 hours of these episodes!” At this, the writer put her head back and roared with evil laughter, like a scheming left minister in a Sageuk.

We could have arrived at this ending differently. It was a bit tiresome to go through the mandatory noble idiocy, breakup, angst and time skip. I get it that given the mess, taking some time off helps. But wish it was a decision made by both and not just Ji An. I was surprised by how kind she was to him. I would have been super mad if someone did that to me and disappeared.
I would have rather seen more of Ji An trying hard to win her again after what he did.

The whole corporate takeover ended up being a bust. What was the point of it anyway? Let’s hope the siblings take time to heal and eventually form a bond.

That aside, it really was a lovely romcom with an admirable female lead. The leads were great together and their bickering was fun till the end. The main characters were well written. The show made fun of its own tropes and did them well. It gave us a very refreshing second FL!! That scene of them both pushing away Ji An to the other lady made me smile!!

Well, it appears that the show heard all the concerns I had about Do Han's sexual orientation being used as a plot propellant and nothing more and decided to have all the other character's come down to that superficial level (with the exception of Chae Won perhaps) instead of exploring anything of importance further. The grandfather was quickly forgiven after seriously messing up 4 motherless grandchildren by withholding affection out of his own guilt (and weirdly elevating the ex-husband who was at minimum guilty of leaving a scene of a car accident involving his ex-wife and a young child without calling for help when she was still alive). All his pressuring of Do Han to stay and take over the company so he could protect his loved ones now seems so wrong considering how his "protection" led to all the grandchildren feeling insecure, unsafe, and unloved. In fact, all the grandchildren only found some measure of happiness after they each found independence from the LJ group. I guess a post-it coupon (which oddly was transferrable) rehabilitates all his seriously misguided love and withholding of love.
The one year break up after a few days dating and then almost what felt like a year of my viewing time of the needless self-inflicted ("even though everyone and their grandfather says we should date, we don't deserve to date") separation to be quickly resolved with another I can't live without you speech (even though oddly both begin thriving and being happy professionally). The only thing cute about the makeup was the drunk Ji Han ticktock that Chae Won and Ah Jung played. Seriously, I wished the first half of the episode was an extended play of the drunk tick tock rather than the pointless separation. There were so many seemingly important things unaddressed like who beat up the ex-boyfriend and what happened afterwards and what was the drunk driving crime that the sister had to take the fall for and why that wasn't acknowledged by the grandfather, father or her brother in any meaningful way. Also, why was spirited, go-getter Ah Jung made so powerless here by Ji Han (I will leave you and not contact you at all after vowing to always tell the truth and be together), her friends (make up a fake boyfriend) and her family (not letting her talk when Ji Han was at the house)?
Whatever that ending is, I wish the two the best--they had the most spark bickering and running away from their promises so who knows, maybe this was their happy ending. And at least Do Han seems happy, is being an artist and has better hair--he's free at last from being a plot device.

The last two episodes certainly weren't perfect, but episode 12 at least brings the drama to a satisfying conclusion and I'm glad the makers deviated from the webnovel (I only skimmed the last few chapters because I wanted to find out how the whole mess was resolved).

I could easily have done without the break-up. I understand that it was necessary to resolve the messy situation somehow and that a cut was kind of necessary, but I would have preferred a mutually agreed break in the relationship, with the promise of seeing each other again after a while and reassessing the situation.

I'm not a fan of rushed weddings, so I'm not mad that we haven't seen any here. I can live with the proposal, I think it was a good compromise. I hope the two of them enjoy their relationship for now and Ah-jung can savour and build on her professional success. I'm glad that Ah-jung can realise her dream and that we don't have to see her having to give it up because of her marriage to a chaThe drama certainly wasn't perfect, but it was entertaining and I could sympathise and root for both FL and ML. Episodes 3 to 8 were the best for me. The chaos caused by Ah-jung and Ji-han was always my highlight.

It got a little draggy in the last four episodes that I was multi tasking while watching it. Oh well, we can’t have everything.

This definitely made me fall in love with Jeon Jong-seo and will probably watch future projects!

Also, the cameos for the last episode! Kim Bum! Lee Soohyuk though we didn’t get to hear him talk. And wasn’t one of the directors, JJS’s boyfriend in real life??

Can ANYBODY like the noble idiocy of this story? I had even a theory (A new thing: Revenge Nobility) that would have made the last separation a bit fun, but my theory was wrong.
I have four gifs about that, and episode 11, here: https://www.dramabeans.com/members/CecilieDK/activity/1558550/

And I have eight gifs about umbrellas crying over the separation, about drunk Ji-han being a metronome, grandpa buying and then demanding forgiveness, evil sister dressed in super fashion, and happy ex, here:
https://www.dramabeans.com/members/CecilieDK/activity/1558966/

I really enjoyed the first part of this show but felt they lost some of the magic towards the end.
There wasn't enough rom com and it turned into a straight out melodrama.
Episode 11 was too angst filled and sadly while watching episode 12, I felt bored.
Perhaps if we had seen more romance or dating without everything hanging over their heads and the unnecessary noble idiocy then the wedding proposal would have made more sense.
The cast was fabulous but Do han was robbed of being a meaningful character, the writer didn't spend the time to make him three dimensional. So much so that it was very on brand for him to give a press conference and then in the next scene leave everyone to fix up the mess of a scam wedding and go overseas. Would your bestie really do this?
The grandfather also leaves much to be desired. If he'd only had a conversation with all of his grandchildren, especially the 'evil' one knowing her behaviour as well as Dohan's sexual orientation and the issues this would cause for Dohan.
The grandfather's behaviour was pretty appalling as a human being. How can you watch your grandchildren suffer so much trauma for 20 something years and say nothing?
Terry, my beautiful Terry, was robbed of scenes in this show. Why wasn't he at least taken for a walk with our leads?
I loved the cameos, it was a good week for them in kdrama land.

By the way, I actually giffed that, mostly cutting out the pauses between him tick-tocking, and also inserting an extra push so that it could run in a loop. It's on my final WI gif post.

"I’m baffled at how to make sense of this."

Do-han ran away from his problems. So, Ji-han came up with a completely different and original idea and ran away from the problem. It is as if a universe exists where leaving the person you supposedly love so much to deal with everything alone makes everything better.

Oh, boy.
This show really thought it was deep and powerful. Which is funny because it has more holes than plot in it, and more unnecessary angst than character development. 😂

Anyway...

THE GOOD.
1. Call me crazy, but, by the end of the show, the only character I genuinely liked was the noona.
She was the only character that managed to make at least one thing happening in this show make sense, imo.

I know that dead family members, especially mothers, are the ultimate card to give a male character some depth/personality. But this show didn't need that, at all. They didn't even know what to do with it so they throw the card to noona. And I'm glad they did.

She didn't only mention her mom when she needed to win the "who's the sibling with the worst childhood" contest. She actually cared about her mom, and what happened to her.
And the impact of loosing her was so big that when she finally came to peace with her death, we saw a totally different person. We saw some kind of change, liberation. No other character in this show can say the same thing. She's the only one that kind of earned that happy ending. Her story had a beginning, an end, and as much consistency as this show is capable of.

And I'm happy that she made everything go upsidedown when she found out the truth. She didn't get to do anything during her entire life because of her family. So, at least they have no power over her anymore.
She's doing whatever she wants, and she doesn't have a heavy heart.
She had this journey all on her own, to become a better person. Good for her.

THE BAD
1. Ji Han. Oh, boy.
I couldn't connect with him. At all.

The "trauma" was so shallow I don't even know what was the point of it.
The whole thing with his mom was there just to make him look pitiful but it didn't seem to actually have any weight on him as a character, and it definitely didn't have anything to do with the story itself.

At first I thought they were going to use the mom (trauma) to explain the bond between him and Do Han... 😂 Yeah, sure.

I wanted to drop the show after episode 1 because Ji Han spent the entire episode acting controlling and possessive over his hyung.

Why? Idk, cause Ji Han and Do Han had like two scenes at the beginning of the show (the first 5 episodes), and zero flashbacks, and you're telling I have to believe this guy loves his hyung so much he has the right to control his life? Heol.

And then they would have fights about Do Han being a bad brother and running away, but I literally can't remember one scene of Ji Han being a good brother either.
The "bromance" was so freaking painful to watch, it made the entire plot become air.

For real, why should I care about Ji Han's story? There's non. His relationship with anyone in that family was so thin that during the final scene with his grandpa, I had totally forgotten they were related and the entire show had started with JH wanting grandpa's approval. And...

It might have worked better if the first three episodes had focused on the three leads' individual backgrounds separately and then brought them together in the 4th.

Like a dog with a bell, kdramas have conditioned me to homestretch angst, and all the tropes that come with it: breakups, noble idiocy, time skips, etc. It’s lazy and I don't love it, but years of drama watching have worn down my resistance. Given that, I didn't mind it as much here as, umm, everyone so far and especially as I watched the last two episodes together cos I was happy by #12, Wedding Impossible returned to its romcom roots.

A romcom lives and dies by its OTP for me, and I really liked the one here, together and individually. Ah-jung (and JJS) stayed great, not only truth telling grandfather but also hunting down the noble idiot and claiming the break up for herself. (Given the public mess, I think the breakup and time skip more acceptable than usual.) And MSM grew upon me over the course of the show. OK, a little green still but he had his moments. (Yes, I may be influenced by his adorableness. LOL) While I hadn't quite bought their chemistry as a deep, committed couple until these last episodes, I loved them again when they returned to a fun, bickering one. The end scene was a little nonsense, but I’m glad they got their HEA.

And I really loved the 2FL not going down the pre-ordained evil path. Instead, she gets Kim Bum. Woo hoo!

Ooh, I know. Maybe I’m the more forgiving Terry. There were no serial killers, OK? 😂

Of course, it was hard to understand the grandpa redemption arc. I mean literally, not only as a statement on family values. (And what’s up with secretaries and/or butlers getting CEO positions these days?) The half-sister was a missed opportunity. Her learning her father was responsible for her mother's death and her punishment of him was ripe with possibilities, sadly never to be explored—along with Do-han.

It is true we never truly developed Do-han’s arc. And that’s a shame. At the same time, am I just happy that he didn’t die? Is my bar so low? In a way, yes. Given how poor a rep I’ve seen in South Korea, this marked progress in mainstream for me. It feels similar to representation in American TV a few decades back. It feels cringey now, but it was real progress back then—and perhaps Do-han painting happily out of the closet is progress in more conservative South Korea now.

But hey, if any of the streaming services want to produce a show where a chipper girl gets the girl, I think we all have an actress we’d like to nominate!

I believe this drama would be perfect as a starter kdrama for a brand new first time kdrama watcher.

From a kdrama veteran's POV, this was okay. A fun & light-hearted watch.
The first half was really entertaining but I agree that it fell off after Ep 10.

All right, so we’ve got two noble idiots in the house.

That droopy, burnt-out sparkler should be the family crest of House Noble Idiocy.

I’ll just nod along with a lot of beanies’ frustrations about the might-have beens, but I loved the spark and banter between the leads and especially JJS’s terrific turn as Ah-jeong. So much of the show was both fun and thoughtful, although the balance of how it spent its time was off - I didn’t give a flip about the side couples and was sorry to see AJ’s sparkplug sister and Chae-won sidelined. Like @indyfan, I tolerate the cramming of worn-out tropes into the last few episodes as the price to pay for the fun we had in the beginning (but can’t writers find some way to reverse the order?). I didn’t mind a time skip, either, because there was so much noise that needed to die down. What I did mind: the scene near the beginning of ep. 12, when AJ and JH are talking over coffee after a year apart and agreeing that breaking up was the right thing to do and they shouldn’t see each other again, felt too right. It would have made emotional sense (for a different show) to end right there. For this show, there isn’t enough rekindling of the spark onscreen to make sense of how quickly they get back together after that painfully real conversation.

I’m glad Do-han’s ex didn’t turn out to be a villain, and also glad they didn't end up together again. DH never indicated any desire for that, it would have been too tidy, and there was no spark between them once the hostility was gone. I hated the coming-out press conference because it was so wildly unrealistic that it made the rest of the show look like a documentary about carp. However, I’ll swim upstream a little on his story’s resolution. Would it have been nice to see him with the same sort of romantic happy-ever-after as the rest of the characters, in a loving and openly acknowledged relationship? Or - if that’s what he wants - living a life of unrestrained sexual freedom in New York? Sure. But this is kdrama. A gay character is pretty darned unlikely to get that without being ‘punished’ by being made ridiculous or simply killed off. DH has consistently been shown wanting to pursue art, independence, and the ability to live as his authentic self without pressure from his family, and he does get that. He’s allowed the HEA of getting exactly what he says he wants and of eventually returning to open arms from his best friend and to being accepted by his family - or at least treated to no worse sniping from his siblings than they turn on each other. For kdrama, I’m gonna call that a win.

Omo! wow just wow ! I have seen some bad landings in my time in dramaland but wow this was something else which is such a pity as while show is not without it's faults I was having so much fun and loving many of the characters. There were a smattering of gems in the final two episodes but they were too few and far between so in the end our characters were poorly served. @Dramaddictally thank you for your great recap and to all the posters here for you insights and comaraderie.

Thank you for the clever wrap-up summary post! I don't agree with everything you said, but I love how you pointed out that they didn't actually show the wedding! It didn't register with me.

Almost no k-drama does a good job with the last episode in my opinion. Here, they did the plot wrap up in episode 11, a time skip to help us believe they matured or something, I don't know, and then the resolution of the main couple's unnecessary separation. I was happy that we saw evidence of character dynamism and redemption. The evil half sister understood that her father caused her mother's death, wept and became a volunteer. Do-han's resentful ex-boyfriend made up with him (and pointed out what I'd noticed, that his paintings' symbolism had changed.) I mean, it was all very nice. I am always happy if the happy endings don't make me cringe or want to fast forward. I did not cringe or fast forward, even when I felt like there wasn't any plot left and we were just smiling sweetly a lot.

I have no complaints whatsoever about relying on Moon Sang-min's looks to keep the sparkle going. The typically weak writing at the end did nothing to dull the shine of the two main leads for me. In fact, Netflix suggested that I watch Ballerina, the crazy action movie that Jeon Jong-seo from 2023, so I did. Very violent and bloody, but it was satisfying to see her in such a physically demanding role. But I don't want her amazing levels of commitment to take anything away from Moon Sang-min, whose velvety low voice, baby face and floofy hair are--what do they say? refreshing. He is so good at that necessary look of yearning. So yeah, the (unfortunately usual) weak-ish ending didn't detract from many fine performances, the main leads were the best, I definitely will recommend this one.

@Dramaddictally Thanks for your perspective through all this. Good job. At least I’m not in the minority with this ending. When so many others kept praising the writing as well as the character-building during the series, it felt a little lonely sitting in the ‘underwhelmed room’ and wondering if my drama lenses were smudged because I was missing the stars everyone else had in their eyes. But there were some positives. The biggest one for me was seeing Ah-jung ratchet down the impulsive & explosive anger she began the series with. Her character was indeed unusual and fresh at the start, but then veered into ‘dominating’ territory for me; so it was nice to see her stay a strong determined woman, but without her often sullen attitude. It was the last third of the story that smothered my fun with this, as the plot began to sag under the weight of the back and forth discussions between Ah-jung, Ji-han and their worries about hurting Do-han. Then this was followed by even more dramatic & glum talks that led to their breakup because they would always feel guilty for betraying him. All very repetitious, but then it was actually nice to see Ah-jung able to talk calmly with Ji-han about those serious issues rather than lecture him. I also liked her efforts, and his, to be as fair and honest as possible to the people in their lives even if their decisions often weren’t thought out, ultimately leading Ji-Han to make the same weak choice that Do-han always did…walking away instead of ‘working through what you’re going through’. I had hoped that the trope of spending the year apart would kickstart some change in tone when they saw each other again, but those listless meetings replayed their earlier ones, neither making a move towards each other, each of them leaving the impression they were ‘ok’ without each other (so many useless filler scenes just to bulk up the episode count). So even though they had missed each other all that time, they still couldn’t be honest with each other. Instead we see yet more misunderstandings as Ah-jung deliberately didn’t correct him about her best friend’s lie that her drama co-star was her boyfriend. So when she and Yoon Chae Won kept pushing his drunk-self back and forth between them with mock indifference saying: “you take him”... “no, I don’t want him”…. it just didn’t land right for me as a comic scene. It felt petty of her because she treated his pain like it was a joke when their relationship was hanging in the wind at that point. Instead of being ‘funny’, it made me feel awkwardly uncomfortable at his expense. Yes, he was being a cute drunk, but Ah-jung knew it was caused by the devastation that he had lost her again; yet she mocked him to score ‘girl-buddy laughs’. Ok to be fair, drunk Ji-han likely didn’t even ‘get’ he was the butt of their joke, but the put-down humour was low-hanging fruit for the writers. I wish they could have reached higher than that for the last episode. Amazing how those small personal...

This drama was good when the leads were chaotic together, so if you separate them... less chaos... less fun.

First, the past story was very not clear. Yeah, they explained the car accident but what happened before? The mother married a man, had 2 kids and suddenly left, found another man, had 2 kids and everything hidden from her father and first husband because of? They were found years later and she ran away as if she was being chased by the mafia. They put their child in danger for what? What was so important to hide?

The Grandpa messed so much! I can understand that Ji-Han reminded him the accident but he let the whole family acting like it was Ji-Han's fault, isolating him. So the fact Ji-Han was missing to the family's diner for Do-Han's return was weird. What's the point to make big discourses if you don't completely change the situation. I like the new acknowledgement of hardworking secretaries in Kdramas! The guys know everything, are competent, let them run the compagny! The Grandpa giving the note to Ji-Han to ask forgiveness was cute, the fact the secretary kept them and the Grandpa had to pay for it.

Do-Han found happiness but overall courage to face his fears. I never thought he had to make his coming-out public, it was his private life. But I think it was important he did with people he loved because he ran away from them and sadly he couldn't, his Grandpa knew and Ji-Han was told by the mean ex. At least, he had the best girl friend to support him.

I liked Chae-Won! She was the compass they needed!

I wished we could see Ji-Han and Ah-Jung dating but since they confessed their love, they were miserable... I found unfair the behavior of Ah-Jung's friends and family, they took the decision together. He was wrong to run away after the press conference but then they talked together. The mess was big and I understand they needed time. It wasn't completely wrong, Ji-Han finally could live his life for himself and Ah-Jung could focus on her career. But reuniting them so late and giving us so little was frustrating!

I like their relationship. They had an unique bond, she saw how lonely he was and hurt by his family, he supported her in her actress career like nobody (made her "failures" meanful, watched every show, came on set, etc.).

I likes the actors. Jeon Jong-Seo was really great in this role! Moon Sang-Min was really cute, I still think he was looking too young and was a little bit green, but his eyes made up for that.

With the all cameos, Jeon Jong-Seo's boyfriend was the most funny, he came in his real job, as a director :p

Sadly ep 11 was just a tick-box exercise with the tropes for a typical penultimate episode with, but with no originality or wit. It was worth skipping. The drama recovered a little in episode 12 and, at last, the marriage proposal made me smile again.

The things I liked about the ending:
The family not being in charge of LJ Group anymore.
Ji-han grumbling that he thought he would have more time to do a good marriage proposal and Ah-jung pretending to think about it.
Chae-won and Ah-jung fighting over who has to take drunk Ji-han home.
Chae-won being a nice 2FL and rewarded with Kim Bum!
Grandpa giving up on pushing the grandkids around, but staying as grumpy as before.

What I would have liked to see is Do-han being able to lead a happy and fulfilling life in South Korea instead of escaping abroad again. Not sure why he wanted to come back to do an exhibition back home, but maybe they just wanted to give him screen time in the finale.

It was a nice drama with a boring ending, but the two leads did very well together.

Wedding Impossible joins my sadly growing list of disappointing k-dramas this year. The first 8 episodes were a standout, but everything started to slide in episode 9 and continued to crash straight through to the end. Despite some enjoyable moments in those last 4 episodes, they really lost control of the story. Too many plot holes, too many lost opportunities for creative storytelling. Even the actors seemed to have given up. I'm so over pointless noble idiocy. And what the actual heck was that awful wedding dress? If they weren't going to give us a real wedding with our OTP, could they not at least have put her in a dress with more class, like the ones she tried on for her "real" fake wedding? Deep sigh. I will remember this only for the fun we had chatting and giffing about the first half.

The only positive was that Do Han was finally happy. I could never figure out what A Jeong saw in Ji Han. Ji Han made all the decisions till the end and A Jeon just agreed with him. The resolution with the grandfather- a coupon that he had purchased was enough for forgetting all that he had inflicted on his grandchildren? Then why did he say that Ji Han was his mistake?
The show was so frustrating to watch after episode 8.

it was a nice ride, but the pace of the drama was all over the place. it looked like the writers were working with 16 episodes in mind but suddenly it was cut. the build up to their romance took too long when we consider the latter part of the story. we needed more time if they wanted us to connect with the noble idiocy, the time jump and the change in characters but we had to deal with all of this in one final episode. the writing, which was one of the best things in the drama, felt a bit flat by the end.

one thing this drama did really well was the second female lead. it was consistent from start to finish and I liked every second of her.

As a rom-com, I enjoyed this show overall but I couldn't bring myself to like the two final episodes. The noble idiocy I kind of expected from Ji-han but Ah-jeong going along with it when she finally tracked him down... It would have been more in line with character had she lectured him on this prime example of noble idiocy. Then when they met again, claiming to be over one another and then clearly not be, I felt it was contrary to their previously honest characters. It was plain idiocy at this point, separation for the sake of being apart.

While I love cameos, I did not like Kim Bum's character. He was anxiously thrown in the nick of time in scenes that made him come off as desperate and a bit creepy. I really liked Chae-won and she deserved better from the writer.

I also liked the transformation of grandfather's character, I just don't buy that it happened without there being some story of interaction between him and the brothers. The married chaebol couple I felt was the only characters who seemed to have a complete arc from beginning to end and they were adorable in their schemes.

So to summarize - the first half was great, the third quarter slow and the last a completely different show. But still a decent rom-com. The dashing Lee Soo-hyuk is how I choose to remember the final five minutes.

Thank you for your recap! Agree with everything you've said. The couple had great chemistry but what an unoriginal ending, what a shame. Still it wasn't a total car crash of an ending which it could have been (e.g. Dodolololalasol etc.). The main thing that annoyed me when I was watching actually was that it seemed like they were saying: we tried separating for a year but we couldn't be apart so let's get married! I totally disagree with this concept - the way you know if a relationship works is if you try it not if you break up. But hey maybe that's just me and I realise it sort of goes against most rom-coms!

Title sequences tell you so much about the show... the couple run away to be married, but once they run away the wheels fall completely off and they are left without any forward motion, sitting in the rain, and we are forced to contemplate the other part of the title sequence...
Which has a Korean marine? Who is only mentioned as an aside right at the beginning of the show when Ji Han mentions he volunteers?
So even the people doing the title sequence animation had no clue what the show was about, and were probably just given a brief synopsis and a short trailer to work from...
I think the writer was actually ok, they did a good job with the main lead and snappy dialogue. But maybe the plot got messed up at the production stage somehow?

Was this written by a beanie or have they been checking out the dramabeans website? article from Soompi re noble idiocy used in this show -https://www.soompi.com/article/1643796wpp/5-types-of-noble-idiocy-that-episodes-11-12-of-wedding-impossible-used-to-wrap-things-up

This drama could have fleshed stuff up more. There's unanswered questions. The silly breakups. Failing to develop the character motivations, etc. The drama fell off in the last two episodes. I was hoping they'd show DH again and they did wish he ended up with someone would have been nice to see. Sadly him being gay was just a plot point.
