Kdrama Review: I Do, I Do

Three minutes into I Do, I Do, Tae Kang referred to his motorcycle as “Beyonce” and that was the moment I knew I’d fall in love with this drama.

Not only had I’d yet to watch anything remotely similar but it was so refreshing dealing with a story about adults (and well, a fetus). The dialog was always quick and entertaining and even when it was something I’d probably heard before, like the very popular “you amount to nothing/you’re a loser” arguments in dramas, it still contained it’s own style.

The low blows were no joke, causing even me to in a breath like I’d been the one insulted. But the high points, were worth it, once making me squeal and literally crush my body into a bedroom wall, pulling my blanket closer like an excited child. (Seriously, I’m not even sure what kind of noise I made and what’s my age, again?)

One thing I really loved about Tae Kang and Ji An, is I found it totally believable that there could be a spark between them because they play each other’s strengths and weaknesses so well. I mean, even watching them fight- they know just how to hurt each other and I think the best way to know how to hurt someone is to be able to understand that person for who they are. Because I think these characters could do that, I found their love probable. Also, if you know how to hurt someone, you can learn how to love someone by doing the opposite of what causes their pain.

I was Ji An’s #1 fan from the beginning because she was bad material, kicking and taking names, no bull, for real. All while looking absolutely chic, my god (and whoa, girl, those legs!). I’m not even into dresses or shoes that much but I seriously want every piece of clothing and item accessory that was shown in this show delivered to my house by tomorrow night.

I don’t know who was in charge of wardrobe or where they got all that stuff from but bless you. Bless your soul and your fashion sense, you deserve eternal happiness.

The only thing that ever really bugged me was how thin Ji An looked for pretty much the whole drama. Like in the beginning, I get it but three months into a pregnancy? And still that thin? …Alright. But when she did have a bump, it looked odd like it was too low on her body.

Now it took me a couple episodes to realize why Jang Woo seemed so familiar to me. I’d watched a few We Got Married episodes of his (which I need to get back to because they were really good) and he’s so cute and charming, ah.

“You’re so cute!” fell out of my mouth more than once while he was in a scene. Can I just say, I love his complexion or is that too weird?

Unfortunately, the ending was totally whack. Sixteen hours leading up to a futuristic dream sequence? Come on! I don’t even get to see her see her baby for the first time? I don’t get to see the three of them as a family? I don’t get to know if Ji An and Tae Kang ever get married? What happens to the maternal shoe store? Like?

And the worst part is, obviously none of this will ever be answered ever in history of the existence of the universe.

But anyway, this drama has definitely taken a special place in my heart. And since I crammed it’s entirety into my brain within three days, now it’s time for a deep post-kdrama sadness slump.
