I’ll admit it, I’m such a sucker for gorgeous wedding pictures. Atmospheric, dreamy, romantic, brightly lit wedding pictures with the bride in an elegant voluminous gown and the groom in a classy fits-perfectly tuxedo. Today All About My Love starring Shin Ha Kyun and Lee Min Jung ended its very ratings disappointing run with a happy ending for all. I’ve had quite a few folks extol the virtues of this drama and asking me to check back in on it, and with this happy ending I might just do that. It’s a shame this drama couldn’t interest the general viewing audience whether in Korea or online since its disastrous ratings might lead to fewer adult snappy rom-coms to be made, and those are my favorite rom-coms if done right. My first impression of AAML was simply that it was chaotic and not narratively sound. I love these wedding pictures of the OTP and only wish Lee Min Jung could be a little more…..what’s the right word……passionate. Shin Ha Kyun is one of the most passionate actors, whether he’s in character or simply evidencing a passion for his craft.
While I loved Lee Min Jung in Big, it was more like she was the perfect foil for Gong Yoo‘s character and performance and he was the reason I was so addicted to that drama. But more and more she leads me to conclude that she’s rather on the dead fish side. Almost all her kissing responses are chaste puckering and she’s never ever given me the impression that she enjoys it all that much. I don’t need her to be jumping her leading men in character, but an actress who wants a career as romantic leading ladies need to make the audience believe that she is attracted physically to the man. Lee Min Jung can show me she’s falling in love or is in love, but the physical chemical side of male-female attraction she fails miserably at. Oh well, she does have the luck of wearing a wedding dress in every one of her dramas after she broke out in Boys Before Flowers (followed by Smile, You, Midas, Big, and now AAML). Of all the wedding dresses she’s worn this one is my favorite, along with her hairstyle with the simple low ponytail with the feather accessory on the side. Or one can say that her best accessory is Shin Ha Kyun.

Beautiful and romantic wedding pictures. Will wait for your review on this drama. Thanks
i think she was passionate in her earlier dramas, but in her recent stuff she's dead fish. maybe her real-life boyfriend doesn't want her to be, because she has definitely become colder and so has my love for her :(
I think this is the first drama she actually made it all the way down the isle and back up it as a married women, though. I haven't watched all the others, but I'm pretty sure she (okay, her character) got jilted in one way or another in all of them.
She had her happy big wedding in Smile, You. She was a jilted bride in the beginning though. Lol
I thoroughly enjoyed this. It reminded me of American 1930s-1940s romantic comedies. Except those comedies were often star vehicles for Claudine Colbert, Katherine Hepburn, Rosalind Russell. Here I think Shin Ha Kyun was the driving force.
I have no idea how Korean politics work, so I don't know know preposterous the set up was, but the narrative felt sound and was series was enjoyable, light, and fun. I think folks let a good piece of entertainment pass them they. I think it will have a strong afterlife.
Since Boys over Flowers i haven't watched any movie or any drama of hers for more than 30 min. She is a gorgeous woman, but her acting makes me cringe. Sadly she is one of those actresses i rather look at, than watch anything she's in. Nice pictures by the way
I love Lee Min Jung she was fabulous in "Big" but her character was slow
I was a fan of "Big" until that sucky ending. LMJ has her charms but I agree she falls short at those pivotal moment.
I used to think there must be an rule within the broadcasting companies that only one lead at a time can show passion in a Kdrama but there have been a few scenes in some tvN dramas I've seen which lead me to believe I may be mistaken.
I dropped AAMR at the halfway mark when I realised I was fast-forwarding through a good 80-90% of the drama. Maybe I'll return to ff through the rest of it, now that I know it ends happily.
(sidenote: I think AAMR ended yesterday, not today.)
I admit to not having a liking for her cause I just didn't ever connect with her characters. Maybe this is just a phase I am in, but I actually liked her ok here. I still don't think she is all that passionate and convincing in a rom-com, especially on the "rom" side of things, but I liked her pairing with SHK. SHK totally was the life of the show. He pulled out all the stops and once I got back the hair, I marathon nearly the entire drama (up to ep 11). It's actually because several people recommended this drama in your thread to revisit it, that I actually revisited it. I'm so happy I did. I think the story has heart and as I said, SHK was great. I liked the OTP but I also don't know how ridiculous the politics were.
In any case, I still liked this one and it comes with a happy ending. And no really really horrible tricks to separate the OTP. I was happy in dramaland.
You should check out the new drama Shark with Son Ye Jin and Kim Nam Gil. It's very intriguing, especially the second episode. I came upon it by chance and I'm quite pleased with it so far.
Yeah, I stopped watching this drama.. I might finish watching it in the future...
