Boda Imposible (2024)

Disappointment…

Before starting to watch, I had high expectations for this drama, and the initial episodes gave me reasons to believe it would be a great rom-com. However, the further I watched, the worst it got.
Firstly, as it’s a romantic comedy, let’s evaluate the romantic aspect. I didn’t feel any chemistry between the main characters at all. While there might have been some spark when they argued in the early episodes, I couldn’t believe in their “unconditional” love once their relationship started.
Secondly, what’s up with the acting? The only character I could connect with was Lee Ji Han. Moon Sang Min was good and I think he has the potential to be a really decent actor in the future. Regarding Jeon Jong Seo, I don’t think she is a bad actress but I didn’t like her acting in this one at all, it felt a bit force (?) to me, it lacked authenticity.
However, the worst to watch was the main character’s brother; his acting didn’t convince me at all, but maybe it’s because his storyline was completely ruined by the writers. And of course we can’t forget about the annoying sister of A Jung and her unintelligent husband, who matched the ML’s stepbrother in behaviour. Whenever they appeared on screen, I wanted to skip their scenes.
Thirdly, some storylines were completely cut off, and the ending honestly made me laugh; it came out of nowhere.
Overall, I definitely won’t go back to this drama because there is nothing to go back to. I watched it, and I’ll forget about it in a week. As for the positives, I’ll check out Moon Sang Min’s future dramas because I’m curious about his development as an actor.

Not rom enough for its genre

Started out great with a spunky FL and cute ML, enjoyable despite the cliches. But once they started developing feelings for each other it all became too serious and melodramatic. The main story got side tracked with side stories - car accident secrets, business power dynamics, dysfunctional family dynamics and so on. Although a lot was going on, it felt like nothing much was happening to the main story. The important secret of the SML never got handled with grace but just conveniently announced in the end with him all of a sudden developing a spine after years of running. There was no character growth to be experienced along the show. The ML also became way too serious and sad, only a handful of the same expressions till the end of the show. All in all, something that started out so entertaining but fizzled out somewhere around ep9 and then was just a chore to watch till completion.

If you are going to watch, do it for Jeon Jong-Seo!

The story of a younger brother who falls in love with his future sister-in-law... without knowing that her fiancé is gay.
Yes, the plot seems interesting although not innovative.
However, while the first half is enjoyable and I liked it a lot, the second half is a letdown. It feels like the screenwriters lost themselves and resorted to gaudy drama.
On the other hand, I must say that the leads relationship is cute and adorable to see (although it was painful to watch the final eps filled with overdone drama). Also Jeon Jong-Seo acting is superb, I'm expecting a lot of her future roles as I became a big fan! Moon Sang-Min shined a lot as well and since he's still pretty young we'll probably see a lot of him in the future, mainly with ML roles.
Back to the plot, they wasted a lot of potential by not exploring Do-Han, the gay brother. Almost all the time the character is put on standby, unconscious about what happens despite his life being on the line. My biggest disappointment is that his development is literally non-existent – ​​he enters into a fake marriage with his best friend to hide his sexual orientation from his family, and as the story progresses there is no moment where he understands the burden he has placed on Ah-Jung, as well as that coming out of the closet is the only way to have peace with himself.
There are many other flaws consisting of not exploring a character and their drama, while a lot of screentime is wasted with Ji-Han and Ah-Jung denying their feelings instead of accepting and fighting for their happiness together.

TL;DR

If you don't mind overdone drama, go ahead and watch it, but do know that it fails by not developing some characters.
If you do mind, it's still worth watching, especially because of Jeon Jong-Seo – I hope you fall in love with her acting skills as I did. However, prepare yourself to see quality dropping in the second half.

Could have been a nice rom com

It started well, all elements for a nice rom com were there, humour, background story with a bit of suspens, characters designed as nice and villain and the plot was original and tackle a subject that isn’t spoken easily of on Korean tv…. Yet this drama lacks so much more they try to make it complicated more it became a mess. Characters reactions and emotions are all over the place and just don’t make sense. There is no love nor brother love nor family love starting from episode 9 only a bigger mess unfolding in the 4 last episodes.
Unfortunately it was a disappointment

Different

The drama was not as bad as some of the review says. it was different in a refreshing way. But the story is not for everyone. It needs a certain understanding to stomach it.

The female lead actress have much room for better acting, but I liked the main female lead character. she was not a damsel in distress. Na AhJung was headstrong and didn't get scared even in front of the grandfather/president.

There are points which has its own craziness. but I loved that there is a Kdrama with a LGBTQ+ character as one of the main characters. There are not many in that category.

My issue is that the end leaves a lot of questions unanswered, a lot of lose ends. We never fully find out what DoHan's issue was with his ex. The father's involvement in the accident is never revealed to the JiHan DoHan brothers. Etc.... Too many lose ends.

If I could describe this series in one way, it would be WASTED POTENTIAL. Initially, I was loving this series, but as I continued watching, I became more and more disinterested in the characters, especially Ah Jung’s and Ji Han’s relationship, which sucked because at first I loved their relationship. Their dynamic was funny and enjoyable to watch. I especially loved that scene where they got drunk together despite still “hating” each other, but even though they had a strong start, the chemistry between them was gone the second that Ji Han realized he had feelings for Ah Jung. I honestly wish their relationship stayed platonic because the romantic aspect of their relationship ruined their dynamic. Ji Han had more chemistry (romantically) with Chae Won than he had with Ah Jung, and that should say a lot. Whenever Ji Han and Ah Jung are on screen together now, I found myself wishing for the scene to be over. I can’t stand watching their relationship anymore. It’s so boring now. And Ah Jung and Ji Han’s relationship isn’t the only thing I can complain about. There’s so many other things that made me dislike this series, like the lack of focus on the **initial** plot, which is the fake marriage. Instead of focusing on that, they only focused on developing Ji Han and Ah Jung’s relationship. It pissed me off whenever a scene with Ah Jung and Do Han would come on, and all Ah Jung would talk about or think about was Ji Han. Like, please SHUT UP. Not only that, but what’s up with all the unnecessary characters and conflicts? If they were going to have a side couple, they could have at least made it interesting, but no, they couldn’t even do that and with Do Han’s ex, the evil siblings, and all the other conflicts that come after that. They should have picked one conflict and stuck with it instead of making multiple and underdeveloping each one. Anyway, there’s probably more I can complain about, but that’s all I can think of right now. I know it probably seems like I hate this series, which isn’t far from the truth, but I’m giving it 6.5 stars because I genuinely did enjoy the first 6ish episodes. I just wish they executed everything properly instead of messing it all up.

A good rom com story but lacks the chemistry between the leads.

I enjoyed the webtoon and the drama did manage to live up to it too a good extent.
The cast was good and each member did justice to heir character.

Honestly when I heard Jeong Seo being casted for the role, I was quite skeptical of whether she can pull of the role as most of her roles till now had nothing to do with rom-com stuff but she for sure impressed me.

The drama is good, lighthearted and humorous. It is quite different from the cliche romcom dramas and also manages to shed light on topics of how LGBTQ folks live and are treated in a country where it is still not openly accepted.

The chemistry between the leads is lukewarm. It just didn't feel organic or warm or sizzling . Maybe due to the casting or execution but it was a letdown.

It started with a good pace but went a little draggy in its last episodes. Overall it is a good one time watch.

Good, but

It’s good l, really good for now. Story good, acting good… but chemistry between main roles is ….
Kim Do Hwan is a good actor. He has a lot of potential, but this role isn’t for him. I feel he cant enter the role very well. I watched most of his drama. But this time role wasn’t wrote for him.

Female lead is a very very good actress. But I dont know maybe my bad, but she isnt suitable for romnatic genre in TV. I watched the call and nothing serious but I always feel she should play in artistic style loke independent movies or festival movies. She has big screen potential.

And also chemical between ji han and ah jung… I can’t feel it. His love is very rush and unrealistic. An jung tried to play with him. When they drank alchocal together first time its look like very weird. Ah jung look like she like his attention. But when she feels something like that she must to stop this fake marriage.

In the end, FL and ML looks like brother and sister. Their chemistry never look like lover.

Lower your expectations....

I remember appreciating the unique execution and the plot I had seen but not seen before but then again in the latter episodes something felt lacking.....

So this is basically a drama about a female lead actress who gets into a wedding contract with her gay best friend as a way to help him....and mean while our male lead is like the blockage of their relationship who doesn't want them to get together so he keeps plotting and plotting to separate them even goes as far as trying to seduce her to steal her away but then ends up falling in love with her.

So I was excited to see how this was going to go I loved how our female lead was written to be witty smart and out spoken...and then I loved how our male lead was ambitious and came off rather as selfish well atleast he had personality and that's something that lacks in many romcom character and let's just say I was also happy that for once we get a romcom without including murder into the plot...all of this got me hyped for the chemistry and then the character development but now Iam not so sure how I feel any more.

The story was intruiging and exciting but it lost its charm along the way because some things started to drag out....the leads chemistry got lost and alot didn't sit right with me....the relationship between the leads that Iam supposed to believe is very deep wasn't even dived in properly so it feels non existent and not believable....the character development is all over the place in that the characters keep going back and forth and repeat.....it's kind of tiring to be honest.

Well despite this disappointing me towards the end I still have to appreciate the few good parts about it like the way the female lead and the second female lead are written...the subtle yet impactful acting by the entire cast and then the beautiful osts and the natural comedy......the drama lacked more in the writing department and even the good parts about it count save it for me....

The ending was okay either way I recommend this if you not going to be extra critical about the plot and you just want something to pass time with.
