3. Rom-Com With Modern and Traditional Vibes
Whether you prefer traditional K-drama tropes or more modern storylines, “Wedding Impossible” is a win-win because it blends traditional rom-com feels with more modern and unique K-drama flavors. There’ll be some moments that will remind us of scenes from classic K-drama rom-coms from the 2000s, but the story won’t feel outdated and will be relatable to modern-day issues. For example, while it’s typical for the mother-in-law to be the one opposed to a union, in this case it’s the brother-in-law who tries to sabotage their nuptials.

Jun Jong-seo added, “There are a lot of genre romances these days. I think this one will give off a scent reminiscent of traditional dramas from the past.”
