"Wedding Impossible" has finally reached its long-awaited end, closing out in spectacular fashion. Led by Jun JongSeo, Moon SangMin, Kim DoWan, and Bae YoonKyung, the lighthearted rom-com made the start of the week enjoyable and fun. Watching them grow as people and in their relationships served as a source of inspiration to all.

Now that it's over, the drama's absence is already setting in. Although there are many more amazing K-Dramas currently on air, "Wedding Impossible" held a special place in audiences' hearts. If you're feeling dismayed about the tvN show's end, then you've come to the right place.

Here are a few K-Dramas to add to your watchlist following the conclusion of "Wedding Impossible"!

 

1. "Because This Is My First Life"

Cast: Lee MinKi, Jung SoMin, and others

Summary: Yoon JiHo is a single woman who dreams of becoming the main scriptwriter for a hit drama. Nam SeHee is a single, IT-worker who owns a house but owes a large mortgage. In order to alleviate the costs, he rents out a room and unknowingly agrees to sign on Yoon JiHo as a tenant. After various happenings and pressures from outside sources, they decide to enter into a contract marriage.

Reasons To Watch: "Because This Is My First Life" is a classic marriage contract K-Drama. Although the two main leads accidentally enter into each other's lives, they form an unlikely bond that becomes even stronger with every new episode. They become sturdy pillars of support, causing them to realize just how much they mean to one another, leading to true love.

 

2. "Love In Contact"

Cast: Park MinYoung, Ko KyungPyo, Kim JaeYoung, and more

Summary: Choi SangEun works as a contract marriage specialist, helping her clients to live the perfect single life. She decides to close down her business, but this proves to be difficult, as one of her last clients, Jung JiHo, happens to fall in love with her. Then there's top star, Kang HaeJin, who also employs SangEun's services and vies for her affection.

Reasons To Watch: Piloted by the rom-com queen herself, "Love In Contract" is lighthearted right down to its core. While there are moments of pure sincerity and genuine affection, you can be certain that there will be various scenes filled with side-splitting laughter. You'll become completely immersed, eager to find out how Choi SangEun and Jung JiHo's relationship will progress, crossing over the line between contract marriage specialist and client.

 

3. "Business Proposal"

Cast: Ahn HyoSeop, Kim SeJeong, Kim MinGue, Seor InA, and more

Summary: Shin HaRi is an ordinary office worker. One day, she disguises herself and attends a blind date in place of her friend Jin YoungSeo, with the goal of being rejected. Come to find out, the man she's meeting is the CEO of HaRi's company, Kang TaeMu. Plans backfire when he calls the next day, asking for HaRi's hand in marriage.

Watch Because: Similar to "Wedding Impossible", Shin HaRi jumps through numerous hoops to ensure her secret identity remains just that — a secret. Watching her live a double life provides limitless excitement. But the drama gets better as TaeMu and HaRi realize their feelings for each other, eventually transforming into a true couple right in front of our eyes.

 

4. "Doona!"

Cast: Suzy, Yang SeJong, Kim DoWan, Park SeWan, Ha Young, and more

Summary: Lee DooNa is the main vocalist for idol group Dream Sweet. However, due to an accident, she has stepped away from the spotlight. Lee WonJun is a university student who just moved away from home and ended up at the same share house as DooNa. They meet and life is never quite the same for either of them.

Reasons To Watch: If you're a fan of second leads, you might want to check out "Doona!" which features Kim DoWan! He has much better luck in finding himself and someone to truly love here. Aside from the success of Kim DoWan's character, Suzy and Yang SeJong absolutely kill it. Their chemistry is sizzling and will have you binging through the series in an instant. If you start the series at night, beware, you might be in for an all-nighter if you do.

 

5. "My Lovely Liar"

Cast: Kim SoHyun, Hwang MinHyun, Seo JiHoon, Lee SiWoo, and more

Summary: Depicts the story of Mok SolHee, a woman who's cautious of others due to her ability to hear lies. She meets murder suspect, Kim DoHa, whom no one believes in. Their paths start to intertwine as they slowly learn more about one another and uncover the secrets that have remained hidden all these years.

Reasons To Watch: Just like "Doona!", no themes of contract marriage can be found in "My Lovely Liar". But in similar fashion to "Wedding Impossible", the main leads must navigate life together, slowly figuring out each other's various charms. They work through a mountainous pile of misunderstandings before they're finally able to be together, happy and in love.

Which K-Drama are you watching now that "Wedding Impossible" is over?

February was an excellent month for K-Dramas, with ongoing titles reaching new heights for ratings, highly-anticipated K-Dramas premiering, and much more. We enjoyed some amazing performances from talented actors, and indulged in beautiful stories by writers and directors. To wrap-up the month, we prepared a brief report of February K-Dramas for you to look back on and share your own opinions!

So, let's get into it!

 

K-Dramas With The Highest Ratings In February

Excluding daily dramas, a number of K-Dramas reached high ratings this month.

"Live Your Own Life" - 22.1% in the first week of February.

"Knight Flower" - 18.4% in the third week of February.

"Korea–Khitan War" - 12.7% in the fourth week of February.

"Marry My Husband" - 12% in the third week of February.

"Flex X Cop" - 11%  in the fourth week of February.

There were other K-Dramas like "A Killer Paradox", "Captivating The King", "My Demon", "A Shop For Killers", "Flex X Cop" and more that were trending on OTT platforms throughout the month in different weeks. However, they did not make it to the top 10 trending TV shows ranking for the month of February as a whole.

Underrated K-Dramas In February

"Love Song For Illusion"

"Love Song For Illusion", starring the outstanding idol actor Park JiHoon in a dual role alongside rookie actress Hong YeJi and fan-favorite actor Hwang Hee, remained criminally underrated throughout its run.

Viewers and critics, both in South Korea and abroad, lauded Park JiHoon's powerful and moving acting as Sajo Hyun and Akhee.

However, it seems like the pacing of the drama and the ambitious setting did not match the expectations of the general public.

As a result, the ratings suffered.

Now that the K-Drama has ended, it might be a good idea to revisit it and binge-watch to unlock the myriad charms of the drama that you might have missed while you were watching it every week.

 

"Branding In Seongsu"

The web drama "Brading In Seongsu" definitely deserves more hype and attention. However, unfortunately, it has not reached the popularity we expected it to enjoy prior to its premiere.

Starring Kim JiEun and Lomon, "Branding In Seongsu" has all the makings of a viral K-Drama. It's a soul-swapping romance, after all!

However, anyone who doesn't keep up with the summaries of every upcoming K-Drama would never know what it's about just from the name.

It is natural, therefore, that not many viewers are tuning into "Branding In Seongsu", which they might think is just a K-Drama about, well, branding!

Either way, "Branding In Seongsu" is equal parts romance and comedy with a sprinkle of fun fantasy and a dash of whodunnit.

It is a light-hearted and enjoyable watch.

 

"LTNS"

In a world of K-Dramas with fairytale romances, "LTNS" is definitely a breath of fresh reality.

Contrary to what the title suggests, "LTNS" is not a K-Drama about adult fun time. At least, not entirely.

It does include mature content, but the core of "LTNS" lies in the delicate nature of human relationships and marriages in particular.

It delves into the factors that can make or break a relationship or, even worse, suspend it in a sort of limbo.

What do you do when love is not the only thing that can keep your marriage alive? What if life gets in the way?

If you find yourself pondering such questions too, "LTNS" is for you!

Esom and Ahn JaeHong are masters of their craft and truly elevate the quality of the drama to a higher level.

If you haven't checked out "LTNS" yet, we highly recommend it!

 

K-Dramas Starting In February - First Impressions

"Wedding Impossible"

"Wedding Impossible", starring Jun JongSeo, Moon SangMin, Kim DoWan, and Bae YoonKyung, premiered to solid ratings.

It is a mass-appealing rom-com with a contract marriage trope and stars talented young actors. What's not to like?

We have the illegitimate grandsons of a chaebol family, where one is trying to make his own way in life, and the other wants to climb up the corporate ladder.

Both have their own traumas hidden deep in their heart.

In comes our manic pixie dream girl - the only person who can save both sons - one from his family and one from himself.

It's a classic!

The first two episodes were definitely fun and served well in terms of exposition, but it still feels quite superficial in character setting.

It's a little hard to root for our leading characters, mainly because their motives seem muddled, but we're sure this will change with future episodes.

 

"The Impossible Heir"

If there's anything we know about Disney+ originals, it is that if it airs on Wednesdays, you know the platform has faith in the title.

"The Impossible Heir", starring Lee JaeWook, Lee JunYoung, and Hong SuZu, had a fantastic premiere.

The beginning was reminiscent of the "Itaewon Class" breed of rebellion and vengeance, standing up for what's right and retaliating where need be.

Lee JaeWook's magnetic screen presence is undeniable, as always, and he melts into his character flawlessly.

Lee JunYoung comes in like a scene-stealer, employing the duality of his K-Pop idol days, and we're obsessed!

The two actors establish their chemistry effortlessly, and we just can't get enough of it.

In particular, Lee JunYoung is going all out in this K-Drama, showcasing his outstanding mettle in acting, as well as his impressive versatility.

The way he is toggling between the cold and prickly InHa and the aegyo master 3000 InHa is out of this world.

However, the mystery surrounding Na HyeWon, played by rookie actress Hong SuZu, leaves much to be desired.

Things seem to be happening too fast, and the writing maintains a deliberate air of ambiguity, but it's too soon to tell if this will be a strength or not.

 

Our Fave K-Dramas In February

"A Shop For Killers"

"A Shop For Killers" is arguably the best non-fantasy action-thriller we've seen in a while.

With brilliant production, a legendary cast (Lee DongWook, Kim HyeJun, Park JiBin, Seo HyunWoo, Jo HanSun & more), a grand soundtrack, and much more iconic goodness, "A Shop For Killers" is simply a class apart.

The drama doesn't just overwhelm you with spectacle but also tugs at your heartstrings, making every moment count.

The exceptional direction and cinematography are also points to look out for and amplify the viewing experience manifold.

Especially, the non-linear storytelling, going back and forth between then and now, presenting our characters' actions and their consequences, is an undeniable strength of the drama.

Moreover, the ending just takes the cake for being one of the finest and most satisfying K-Drama endings of all time.

It was a pain to wait a week for new episodes while "A Shop For Killers" was airing, but now that it's complete, binge-watching is going to be more fun than you can imagine.

So, we highly recommend tuning in!

 

"Flex X Cop"

"Flex X Cop" reached an impressive 11% with its latest episode. This is the highest rating of the K-Drama so far.

"Flex X Cop", starring Ahn BoHyun and Park JiHyun, is easily one of the most fun K-Dramas on air right now.

With an episodic nature, a colorful cast of diverse characters, and fresh faces, the perfect enemies-to-lovers scenario balanced with a buddy cop comedy, "Flex X Cop" hits the bullseye when it comes to entertainment.

Ahn BoHyun is shining in this K-Drama as Jin Isoo, making us wish for several more seasons and spin-offs.

On the other hand, Park JiHyun is the epitome of "girl crush" in this drama, with her competent, no-nonsense attitude as Lee GangHyun.

Perhaps the reason why the drama reached its highest rating in the latest episode is that Jin Isoo and Lee GangHyun, who seemed to be completely at odds, are slowly growing fond of each other.

Lee GangHyun is discovering more about Isoo's past while Isoo tries to respect GangHyun's code of conduct.

With the right blend of restraint and vulnerability, these two are well on their way to falling in love, and we're living for it!

When one series ends, another begins — there's absolutely no time to rest in the world of K-Dramas. Thankfully there's always something to watch in a variety of different genres all throughout the week. Most recently, tvN just dropped its newest show, "Wedding Impossible", which received enormous attention even prior to its premiere. The drama stars a wonderful cast in Jun JongSeo, Moon SangMin, Kim DoWan, and Bae YoonKyung.

"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.

Teasers alone are a mix of comedy and heart-fluttering interactions that you surely will not want to miss.

But in case you're still on the fence, here are a few reasons why you should add "Wedding Impossible" to your watchlist.

 

1. Web Novel Adaption

Over the past few years, adapting webtoons and web novels have become all the rage, giving birth to a plethora of amazing shows to binge-watch all day long. "Wedding Impossible" joins this ever-growing list, being adapted from a web novel of the same name. This means the drama has source material to reference and just in case you're feeling a bit impatient, you can read through the web novel to figure out what happens next.

 

2. Refreshingly Talented Cast

One of the most important aspects of a great K-Drama is its casting. The ensemble of main characters is extremely talented, with experience across numerous genres. The main casts' years active in the industry varies, however, each individual has received critical acclaim and endless praise for the roles they've been given. Everyone from Jun JongSeo to Bae YoonKyung will surely continue to impress audiences as "Wedding Impossible" continues forward.

 

3. Enemies To Lovers Relationship

While some tropes can certainly be tiring (we're looking at you random break up for "development"), others continue to hit the spot and are pivotal to bettering the storyline. The main couple of the series, Na AhJeong and Lee JiHan, certainly do not start off on the right foot. There are various scenes of bickering that could only spell disaster in the real world.

However, K-Drama fans have seen this formula before, knowing full well that these arguments will only lay the foundation for a fruitful relationship later on in the series. It will be interesting to track when their turning point will occur and how Na AhJeong and Lee JiHan will finally fall in love.

 

4. Tense Chaebol Politics

"Wedding Impossible" isn't all laughter, rainbows, and butterflies. Mixed in between is the tense politics of a wealthy chaebol family. With the prospect of becoming the head of the company, Lee DoHan and Lee JiHan's half siblings won't stop at anything to secure their spot at the head of the table.

There's sure to be shady behind-the-scene dealings, amicable facades, and an atmosphere so tense that you will be able to cut it with a knife. But it's with these many hands vying for power that are sure to make "Wedding Impossible" a treat to watch. It will be up to the two brothers to ensure not only their position in the family, but their personal happiness in the process.
