Bride of the Century has been confirmed as a 16-episode drama, which was what I thought all along until those 20-episode chatter started. I’m both happy and sad, thrilled it’s not going to drag out any conflict to fill ten more episodes, but of course sad that there is just six more episodes left to spend with this delightfully loopy treat. Episode 10 rocked my socks off, and also rocked a little more than that when respect to a certain bed in a certain villa after a certain wedding. It’s not even a spoiler to say that Doo Rim and Kang Joo got married in this episode, and I do love how that drama doesn’t rely on the element of surprise or any narrative reversals but delivers satisfaction with maximum gutsiness. There’s a ghost? She continues to show up and both scare and educate Doo Rim. There are plotting moms? Both of them up their ante and it’s a wild game to see which one succeeds in their nefarious plot. But the best part of BotC was showcased in episode 10 by plucking the OTP out of all the craziness around them and giving them (and us) some much appreciated happy times.
Chosun TV posted some scene cuts from episode 10 and it’s a lot of fun to watch even before catching the episode subbed or reading a recap. The first scene is Kang Joo and Doo Rim’s private wedding, which I’ve wrapped my mind around Doo Rim marrying Kang Joo as Yi Kyung. The wedding isn’t legal until it’s registered anyway, so I figure Kang Joo won’t get around to registering it before he cottons on to the real identity of the girl he loves. I also think the stakes are too high for Doo Rim in marrying Kang Joo, if she doesn’t survive the wedding night then what’s the point of telling him who she is. Plus she is fully aware of the risk that Kang Joo may not forgive her for the deception, so in that case I’ll throw my support behind her since the whole shebang is out-of-this-world ridiculous to begin with. The second scene cut is after the wedding when Doo Rim makes Kang Joo wear a couple’s outfit with her, and while they are eating at a street stall Kang Joo gets picked up by an adorable tween eyeing his hotness. Doo Rim immediately stakes her claim to her man and I was LOLing forever at their adorableness.

What a great morning! Thank you! Still in bed but started lurking this site already! Looove it! But scared of things to come to our OTP…
I was squeeing endlessly with the cute.
But I’m still upset that she hasn’t revealed her true identity yet.
But next weeks episode looks like it’s about to go down and Hubby will realize something is off.
From an objective point of view this drama seems rather average, but it put some kind of spell on me. During the latest two episodes I squealed like a teenager. There’s just something in the way Kang Joo and Doo Rim look at each other… They have sizzling chemistry. Their hugs are really passionate, much different from the usual “awkwardly hugging a tree” style. Moreover, I can’t believe that there was actually a bed scene! A very discreet one, but still. Have drama gods finally started answering my prayers? If yes, then please give us a satisfying ending. Pretty, pretty please with a cherry on top~!
[On a side note, before BotC I never found Lee Hong Ki attractive. Now I think that he’s the perfect combination of sexy and cute (reminds me of Yoon Shi Yoon). He should definitely keep this hairstyle. I also like that his character smiles a lot more now. And the way he waves… Pure adorableness! I have to admit, I replayed the waving scene a couple of times. ;D]
I agree. LHK on You Beautiful wasn’t even on my radar; however, I so want the OTP to go out in real life. Oh, and have real babies ;D
i second that!their chemistry really daebak in BOTC. both of them so flirty at BOTC presscon and Hongki following Jinsung on instagram the same day she made the acc. I’M GOING DOWN WITH THIS SHIP!
LOL i’m glad i am not the only one. I replayed the waving scene countless times !
I love how Doo Rim has totally melted Kang Joo into a mushy romantic guy who will wear couples’ shirts.
I love this drama!
I loved the cute scene…
Thanks for the post! The first thing that I always do when I wake up is look this site…
Thank you very much!
I was greatness but the end was a big NOOOOO moment but the preview helps…”You…Who are you?”
The wedding was not officiated by anyone, reminiscent of Goong (the one in Macau). Can this type of wedding be registered? Just wondering…
No right? Don’t they just need witnesses to register at the office? You don’t need a celebrant.
Haha did they just show pre marital sex in a K drama? I am highly amused. Different from the one in INR3.
Am I the only one who didn’t see the beginning of a bed scene or the hint of one? Also, does any one know the orchestra or group of people who sing that version of “Ave Maria” in the 1st video, please? I would like to look for it on YT.
I agree – a kiss does not a bed scene make. And they wake up fully clothed the next morning? (On a side note – does no one wear pajamas in this drama? They’re always going to bed in the knappy clothes they wore all day!)
That reminds me of Ojakgyo Brothers, where the main couple was wearing matching pajamas and they both had wet hair during their first night together. It looked ridiculous. 😉 However, I agree that on ordinary nights they should sleep in some kind of nightwear. Oh well. Dramas!
They were in bed, cuddling, then they looked at each other intensely and started kissing, during which the light slowly went out. To me it was pretty obvious… It’s a common tv trope called “sexy discretion shot”. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SexyDiscretionShot
Thank you for the link! I have been on that website before, but I had forgotten its address. I need to clarify that when I read this post, I had not seen ep. 10 yet, because it had not been posted online (on the websites I go to). So I thought Ms. K had included them in the videos she had posted, hence my surprise at not seeing (all of) the scenes she had mentioned, which was why I asked my question. It’s OK if she didn’t include those scenes, it is just that I expected to see them, that is all.
Oh, then I’m sorry that I misunderstood you. At least my link was useful, heh. 🙂
Apology accepted! And yes, the link was very useful. 🙂
