I’ve liked UEE ever since Ojakgyo Brothers. But now after finishing Marriage Contract, I am her FAN. She is such a gem. Not a sad drama fan, but Marriage Contract is a good one.

    I think UEE works best in a family drama or melo setting. Maybe experienced co stars help lift her up. Because even I was convinced that she is a great actor after Marriage Contract. But then came Manhole and it didn’t work out there. She just poured her heart out in MC and was in the hands of a good director. I don’t know how she is doing in the family dramas she has been doing recently but I think that is her territory not rom coms.

      Jbtw did you watch MC on Netflix? I am planning to rewatch it but I’m wary Netflix might have destroyed the subs.

        Ah yes, did watch it on Netflix. Everything was ok though. I haven’t really had any problems with Netflix subs so far.

          The problem I have with Netflix at times is the soundtrack. I watched knowing bros and suddenly they were dancing to random music (i think instrumental music) instead of a kpop song. Haha

      She was good in Hogu’s Love, a rom-com! Not as good as Marriage Contract, but still memorable. Sometimes casting also matters, aside from genre.

        Yes basically it can be your co stars, story, direction but a great actor will still shine through if any of this goes wrong. UEE was great in MC but everything else in that show was too.

        Really? I should try Hogu’s love then. Think I’ve seen it on Netflix also. UEE was also good in My Husband Oh Jak-doo btw.

          Hogu’s Love is one of my favourite dramas! It seems a bit over the top at first, but if you stick around, the story and characters are actually really sweet. Hogu is a breath of fresh air, he’s quite different from typical male leads.

    I definitely think family dramas are her thing, but “Marriage Contract” definitely is a stand out for her acting career overall thus far (girl has so many years ahead of her!!) and definitely a gem 💎 I think “Marriage Contract” also having Lee Seo Jin as her co-star— and this also being one of his breakout performances— also really helped 🤗🤗🤗❣️❣️❣️ Ugh I could gush about this drama any day, any time, any where, and some needs to stop me every time that I get the chance to gush about this drama or else I won’t stop 😅😅 I just love it and it’s just so dear to my heart ♥️

      Though I’ve heard quite a lot of praises for this drama, I just got a chance to binge-watch it two days ago. It really lives up to the hype! Both leads’ performances are just great, love their teary eyes and ready-to-order tears. The little girl is also adorable.
