Love Marriage aka Matchmaker's Lover






Simple storyline.

Cute people.

Humour injected.

So so sweet.



She is single. He is divorced. She is a couple manager matchmaking divorcees while he is a lawyer handling divorce cases. She is full of crazy romantic ideas for her clients while he know nuts about being romantic at all! She always mess up her work while he is the neat person who does well in his work. The story shows how they met, and realised that they love each other to little bits.. Simple story rite? But its the details of this drama that really makes it 1 of the great dramas in 2008.

Ooh.. i'm so mesmerised by the lead actor's role..of course.. his looks play a part too... i mean.. look at his eyes... haha.. i shall stop for now.. ;p

Usually in korean dramas, they will have conflicts or tragedies that hurts.. i mean you really feel the pain! OMG, it hurts kinda feeling. Well, its inevitable for a good story rite? One thing I really enjoyed about Love Marriage is that they do have conflicts but they don't show it in really really deep depth.. so it doesn't hurt me when compared to other dramas.


Well there's so many things I wanna write about it but you have to watch to LOVE it!

Watched 18 vs 29 last weekend.



Synopsis
This drama takes the audience back to the 1990s. The main character of the drama, Yoo Hye-chan, 29, reverts mentally to an 18-year-old girl after having a car accident. As she recovers her memory and the relationship with her husband, Kang Sang-yeong, she goes through many hilarious and heart-moving moments.
Hye-chan, who was a beauty queen in high school, marries her former classmate Kang Bong-man. In 2005, she turns 29. But after a fierce fight with her husband, she heads to court to file for divorce, unable to control her rage anymore. On her way to court, her car clashes with a truck, and as a result she develops amnesia. She only remembers herself as a senior high schooler, when she was sassy and outgoing, and popular with her peers. As her memory reverts to her adolescent years, she suddenly becomes crazy about the dance group “Seo Tae Ji and Kids,” which was popular with teenagers back in the ‘90s. While looking strong on the surface, deep inside she is soft-hearted and feeble. She likes Jane Campion’s movie “Piano” a lot. Although Kang Bong-man, nicknamed “Ice Prince,” is the ideal of every girl in Hye-chan’s school, she regards him as shallow. The guy she really likes is her senior, Jeong Shi-woo.
But in reality, Hye-chan’s husband is Kang Bong-man, whom she despised so much in high school. He changes his name to Kang Sang-yeong when he becomes an actor. In the latter part of the drama, Hye-chan recovers her memory and pursues her dream of becoming a film director. When Hye-chan loses her memory, Sang-yeong becomes preoccupied with mending their shattered relationship. He collects all the messages they had exchanged in the past to help her remember who he is. The replays of Hye-chan’s memories, which are presented in diverse ways, add to the drama’s tantalizing plot.

Masliana's Personality Test: Spontaneous Idealists

Spontaneous Idealists are creative, lively and open-minded persons. They are humorous and dispose of a contagious zest for life. Their enthusiasm and sparkling energy inspires others and sweeps them along. They enjoy being together with other people and often have an uncanny intuition for their motivations and potential. Spontaneous Idealists are masters of communication and very amusing and gifted entertainers. Fun and variety are guaranteed when they are around. However, they are sometimes somewhat too impulsive in dealing with others and can hurt people without really meaning to do so, due to their direct and sometimes critical nature.This personality type is a keen and alert observer; they miss nothing which is going on around them. In extreme cases, they tend to be oversensitive and exaggeratedly alert and are inwardly always ready to jump. Life for them is an exciting drama full of emotionality. However, they quickly become bored when things repeat themselves and too much detailed work and care is required. Their creativity, their imaginativeness and their originality become most noticeable when developing new projects and ideas - they then leave the meticulous implementation of the whole to others. On the whole, Spontaneous Idealists attach great value to their inner and outward independence and do not like accepting a subordinate role. They therefore have problems with hierarchies and authorities.

Is it true?
I have the same personality as Yanie though. Prob we should get Dr. Ahmad Zaki to test us like he did a year ago.. ahaks..
