"Wedding Impossible" has made the start of the week enjoyable for K-Drama enthusiasts everywhere. With an amazing storyline and cast in Jun JongSeo, Moon SangMin, Kim DoWan, and Bae YoonKyung, there's a lot to like about the tvN series.
"Wedding Impossible" follows Na AhJeong (Jun JongSeo), a talented, yet unsuccessful actress. She suddenly learns that her best friend of 15 years, Lee DoHan (Kim DoWan), is actually a third-generation chaebol and successor to LJ Group. However, he proposes that they enter into a contract marriage so he can escape the reigns of his grandfather. His competent younger brother, Lee JiHan (Moon SangMin), tries to stop this at all costs and brings in Yoon ChaeWon (Bae YoonKyung) to help.
While there's a lot of focus on the relationship between Na AhJeong and Lee JiHan, there lies the bond between two brothers who are both each other's strength and weakness at the same time.
They experience immense highs and the lowest lows, even while having such fond brotherly love towards one another.

The backstory behind Lee JiHan and Lee DoHan is incredibly sad. Not only must they live life without their biological parents, but they are thrust into a cutthroat environment where only the strongest survive. Facing these circumstances, along with battling their own personal traumas, the two brothers' future seems bleak to say the least.
However, they do find some bright moments in life, whether it comes from each other or friends. Their lives are not completely hopeless, as they constantly move forward toward a better tomorrow. However, the fact still remains that their home life is less than desirable. Coming from a chaebol family, many eyes are on them, waiting for their next slip up. It's no easy task being part of a family that's tied to a huge corporation, but they make it work for the best.
Hardworking Younger Brother

Looking at the brothers on an individual level, Lee JiHan is a hardworking individual. He commits himself to attaining various accomplishments, all without the help of his chaebol background. He shows that he's able to start all the way from the bottom and rise right to the top. And as JiHan fills his resume with excellence awards, he also dedicates an enormous amount of effort to elevating his brother to the CEO seat.
He does so by taking on the mantle of matchmaker, actively looking to forge a marriage between a daughter of a top company and Lee DoHan. While he often puts his brother first, this leaves his own needs and desires on the backburner, essentially forgotten. Throughout the drama, it takes tremendous effort out of Lee JiHan to love and accept his brother, but to also learn how to put his own needs first.
An Older Brother With A Secret

On the other side is Lee DoHan, the older brother of the two. He stands on the opposite end of the spectrum, and instead of wearing suits into a office building, he chooses to hold paintbrushes in an art studio. There are glimpses of DoHan at work that show him completely immersed, completely dedicated to creating his next masterpiece.
However, when it comes to his family, he can be distant, even with his brother who he's been with all his life. This is due to the secret he holds, having had a relationship with another man. One trauma passes onto the next, leading Lee DoHan to ask Na AhJeong to help him escape the restraints of LJ Group. Although his younger brother only has eyes for him, DoHan's flight response is just too high, running the risk of leaving Lee JiHan once more.
Redefining Their Brotherly Relationship

However, it is audience's hope everywhere that the two brothers will be able to patch things up, fully and truly embracing the positives in life.
