I’ve finished Matrimonial Chaos and it’s definitely one of my favourites from this year. It’s sheer brilliance in the way it weaves in realistic dialogue and characters that are flawed yet human is a spectacle to behold.
I loved the quiet, contemplative journey I was taken on where I had to question the characters and reflect understandingly on what they did. The drama featured such poignant moments and dialogue that captured my heart. Most of all though I loved how at the end of the day no one was one dimensional, but instead real life people, bustling ideas, emotions and ambitions.
I’ll miss the incredible friendship between Hwi Roo and Yoo Young (it was one of a kind and beat my other unlikely female friendship – Wife’s Credentials for top spot) and the bromance between Seok Mo and Jang Hyun. I’ll miss the phenomenal acting that graced my screen for 16 hours, Halmoni and all the other side characters who left an impact but are still living their lives out there.
I kinda liked him from the beginning. In fact it was HwerRoo who kind of annoyed me with her brushing habits :)))
His cynical view of the world can be quite addictive and sometimes therapeutic!!
For me I guess both their personalities annoyed me. 😂 I saw the bad sides in both but I loved how it turned around. He got so understanding and she did budge a little (I wish she expressed herself more though- that letter tore me to bits when it was torn up).
@fencejumper yes that letter! I guess her book was a window to her soul for SeokMoo. The book was the letter. That’s how I saw it.
I guess the four of them find it easier to talk about marriage and things that bother them when they are in a group. I liked how Jang Hyun said they can go to the other couple when one of them is upset.

Oh I didn’t think of it that way. It’s definitely the book just like how Soek
Mo sang the song with his heart. Yup, I see it as none of them really willing to express themselves and communicate with each other during tough times. They’re either willing to burst suddenly like (HW-SM) or keep it to themselves (YY-JH). I love how they confess their heart out to the bar tender though! He’s all like everyone should just come together ^_^

I didn’t really like Seok Moo initially but by the end of it he’d grown on me so much. UGH I’ll miss this show.
