The first character stills are out for the upcoming jTBC cable drama Can We Get Married? The drama stars Lee Mi Sook as a career woman matriarch with two daughters, the eldest is married to a doctor while the youngest is a teacher preparing for her upcoming wedding. The drama revolves around four couples who are either married and going through their own problems or preparing to get married, aiming to show that getting married is not just about an event but about creating a lifetime together. Playing the pair of youngsters preparing to get married is Jung So Min and Sung Joon, while her older sister is played by Jung Ae Yun who is married to Kim Sung Min in the drama and during the course of the show they end up dealing with their divorce due to his philandering ways. Another young couple will be played by Kim Young Kwang and Une, while Choi Hwa and Kim Jin Soo add their comedic mix to their own likely dysfunctional relationship. Apparently Lee Mi Sook’s mommy dearest character wants the best for her daughters’ marriages but her constant hovering likely creates tension between the couples as well as with the in-laws. I love Jung So Min but Standby was a pass for me since sitcoms aren’t my thing (unless its the perfect perfect I Live in Cheongdamdong, which also aired on jTBC), so this is ideal for me to finally get back to seeing her on my screen. Sung Joon hit it big with Shut Up: Flower Boy Band and I still have to get to watching that drama since I’ve heard so much good vibes about it. I have a good feeling about this onscreen coupling, so hopefully the story will be equally as promising. Lee Mi Sook has had a series of blah dramas for me (Cinderella Unni, Thousand Day Promise, Love Rain) so I’m hoping she bucks the trend here. The drama is premiering on October 3 for a scheduled 20 episode run.
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…
If Wang Xing Yue ever needs extra money he can be a professional dubber for…

I really can't wait to watch this one... if only to support Jung So-min coz I LURVE her so much! And Standby completely just tanked her character and I'm sure that the way her character went wasn't what she signed up for in the drama.
I'm totally watching this, not only for Jung So-min but also Sung Yoon whom I loved in Shut Up Flower Boy Band.
This seems like a typical weekend family drama that should run for 50 eps. 20 eps seems awfully short. Love the cast but the story is not really my thing so I think I'll be skipping...
Ohhhh...can't wait! Love Sung Joon in Shut Up and of course MinMin is always a fave. So looking forward to seeing her again. And it looks like cable dramas are on a roll these days, I really hope that this one will be a hit too! :)
Joon and So Min together?!! Hold on, I need a moment! Lol Yes to SUFBB and a definite yes to Sung Joon. One of my favourite actors of this year.
Omg, GREAT leads. I never really thought of them together but this can only mean good things. Sung Joon rocked in SUFBB (which you simply have to watch, Ms. Koala) and I've loved JSM since Playful Kiss.
Not sure about the plot, since tVN's The Marriage Contract lost my interest fairly quickly. But JTBC has had a pretty good track record so far so I'll definitely give it a try!
omg. i put off watching shut up flower boy band for 9 months. worst mistake of my entire life, even if I was preparing for the SATs haha. WATCH IT!!! Jung Eui Chul has long been one of my favorite actors ever, but that drama gave me 5 new boys to look out for. Also, Jung So Min is an amazing actress, and so expressive. You're right when you say that Lee Mi Sook's last dramas have all been boring..but she's been the most hilarious thing about them all. Her scenes in thousand day promise are what kept me going.
So excited for this!!!
Can't wait to see sung joon.
also if you ever get to watch shut up flower boy band be prepared with tissues.
o man I need to watch Shut Up Flower Boy Band soon too...its been on my hard disk forever....i've missed Jung So Min so much since I passed on Standby too....my first and only impression of Sung Joon has been in White Christmas (Koala unni you need to watch this !!!!) and frankly I thought he was very green there....I did find Kim Young Kwang better there though I realize most folks seem to have a poorer impression of him thanks to Bachelor's Veggie Store and his other choices....anyways I'm so glad to have these three in another drama....as far as rom-com dramas go, I don;t have very many expectations anymore...I just hope this is cute
Honestly, the story doesn't appeal to me in any way. BUT! Sung Joon and Jung So Min <3 I adore Jung So Min! I love Playful Kiss, and I have been following her since then. I wish Standby were a better sitcom because I couldn't watch past episode 15 even though I really tried to. I hope this drama is good because JSM is talented, but hasn't been getting good roles. Also, Sung Joon was awesome in SUFBB! He was wasted and useless in Lie to Me (but that drama was all about the main couple), but SUFBB made me fall for him. I can't wait to see them as a couple :D
thanks koala for the article!
of course as a Minnies, Im super excited to see MinMin back at the drama land!
and Sung Joon with MinMin? I adore Sung Joon from his other drama especially the SUFFB! I really hope they would have a great onscreen chemistry and the also hope that the drama is something that would tug our heartstrings!
