111. Marriage, Not Dating 연애 말고 결혼 (2014) Korean

Han Groo, Yeon Woo Jin, Jinwoon, Han Sun Hwa, Heo Jeong Min, Yoon So Hee

Drama Rating: 8/10     Neck Score: A

Finally, a cute little drama that stays consistently awesome the whole time. I don't know if it was better that I waited to start it until it was almost over or not.  On one hand it's so awesome I wished I had learned that sooner, on the other hand waiting meant that I could marathon it... which I did, but that is not the best thing health wise to do.  Seriously, once I started watching it I couldn't stop, until I had watched it all.  What's better than a contract marriage?  A contract engagement with the purpose of getting the family to object and refuse the marriage.  Apart from the obvious hating of the other girl, who was weird, I loved everyone in it (well the cheating dad is obviously not included as well).  The main couple has to be one of the cutest and funniest couples ever.  I also like how its somewhat realistic, as in the pace and the problems as things that might actually need to be dealt with and not completely over the top.  Naturally it still is, but this is a drama.  Even when things were bad it stayed cute and funny and it was never draggy and lame.  Seriously, it was a romcom that stayed a romcom the entire time.  How often does that happen?  It usually is good until episode 12/13 and then all the sudden it's a melodrama.  Nope.  This was romcom gold the entire time.  Loved it.

30. Can We Get Married? 우리가 결혼할 수 있을까 (2013) Korean

Sung Joon, Jung So Min, Lee Mi Sook, Kim Young Kwang, Han Groo

Drama Rating: 5/10      Neck Score: A-

I watched this for Sung Joon, the little bro from Lie to Me, and came out thoroughly impressed by Lee Mi Sook, who was the mom in Love Rain.  Such completely different characters and both played so well (she does this every time as I saw when I watched Lee Soon Shin).  This had enough plot and characters/couples to justify it being a 50 episode family drama, but thankfully it was not.  It's about a single mom with two daughters and a single younger sister who is trying to keep them all happy.  She's tacky, assertive, loud and fast talking, and I love her.  Especially when she talks to the stuffed animals that her daughter's ex-boyfriend gives her vs the one her perspective son-in-law gives her- beating up one and loving the other.  There is a lot of mom drama, which is a bit annoying, but also a lot of different love stories.  The aunt falling in love with motorcycles (and maybe a biker), the older sister leaving her douchey husband, the younger sister working out the kinks so she can get married, the best friend having constant fights with her boyfriend and maybe getting a crush on her friend's fiance.  Yeah, lots of drama.  I still didn't like Jung So Min.  Didn't like her in playful kiss, still not my favorite in this.  But with Sung Joon and Kim Young Kwang there are plenty of necks to love.
