well it`s time for my take on ” the Matchmakers” after 4 episode of the show.
things i liked and suprised me:
1- Rowoon
I had seen his acting just in “extraordinary you” and i wasn’t so sure ab his acting so i WAS SUPRISED…HE IS A GOOD ACTOR!
2-shim jungwoo’s character
what a character is he…he is selfish, rude, veryyy smart but at the same time naive, cute and pitiful, so well written
3- healthy married couple
there IS sane, normal married couple in this show, how? what happend to kdrama? and 1 of these couples are king and queen? REALLY?
4- royal family being actual human beings
when king and queen started laughing at some random court gossip while drinking tea together i was SHOOOKT
when king said “she is worried ab such things because i am not a capable husband”, i died a little, he is a good husband.
princess fell in love and chose to marry a boy, and her parents was ok and positive? (yes they forced the poor boy but it was his family fault as i understood)
5- a mom being a smart politician and she controls his husband and brother and sister that are ministers and royal family members, WOW!
6- madam Yujo is really enjoying her work and, is full of love for young couples and trying her best and is not a bitter victim despite her sad life ad her mean in_laws
she is even kind to her sister- in- law and the nosy maids! 🥰
7- reversed trope
saving a person from accidents and that person fell in love with you because yeah you were so cool saving….HIM!
YES… a woman saved the man and told him “don’t worry i will protect you”
really loved that👍
8- cinematography
this show is sooooo beautiful
the show is full of poster liked shots and the camera work is wonderful, especially in first episode.
9- i love all the scenes of king and shim jung woo together
10- stating the fact that crying out “CHONHAAAAAA!” all the time in saguks is ridiculous
i love how king startles every time someone do this near him. Kkk
11- the fact that the lead characters care for their deceased partners.
you can see it in jungwoo trying to find out what really happend to princess
12- jugwoo’s servant
i like these kind of characters, he reminds me of dal-hyang’s servant in “three musketeers” (kdrama ver)
things i don’t like:
1- no one can recognize her with her make up? what is that? it’s totally dumb.
but i think her brother just pretended that he didn’t recognized her
i bet he knew ab what she did all along but just ignored it because he was sad for her sister who was trapped in a sad empty life, and wanted her to do sth and be happy
as you can see i like almost everything ab this show, i hop it stays good till the end 🤩
