A scene from MBC TV series "The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry" [MBC]

"The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry" - Final episode (MBC TV, 9:55 PM)

Just like TV series "Pasta", "The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry" ended with a sweet kissing scene. But while it is possible to imagine that the couple from the former show would be in love and cooking together somewhere, the relationship between the latter couple Shin-young (played by Park Jin-hee) and Min-jae (played by Kim Beom) was nothing more than plain fantasy. There is nothing wrong with fantasy itself.

"You shouldn't be like that with someone who is around your mom's age", Ban-suk (played by Choi Cheol-ho) says to Min-jae (Kim Beom) upon seeing a seemingly intimate picture of him and Shin-young (played by Park Jin-hee) together. That comment Ban-suk made during preview showing of a scene shown for the press on the set of "The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry" on February 2 may probably speak for what all viewers of the show probably feel. And like so, there are a couple of scenes in the drama that the public can relate to but some which also brings several questions to mind. Why is the story about a couple composed of woman who is older than the man and why does it focus on the topic of marriage? These questions were asked during a press conference attended by director Kim Min-sik, actress Park Jin-hee and actor Kim Beom.

Park Jin-hee (Park): Other than the fact that it is physically draining, I am very happy to be shooting the drama....More

"What is precious leaves you, what I'm waiting for doesn't come and what I didn't hope for finds me", said Lee Shin-young (played by Myeong Se-bin), the main character in the original TV series "Woman Who Wants To Marry", which aired six years ago. Now in 2010, the same circumstances are facing Lee Shin-young, who at 34 has aged two more years in the story. Her boyfriend has left her because he could not handle a woman who still had big career ambitions, the new love that she is waiting for does not come and her career is not working out the way she had planned....More
