The recent finale of King the Land got me thinking about K-drama weddings. Sometimes they can come across as a little unnecessary or over the top — a symbolic way to show that our OTP is on their way to a happily ever after. And sometimes they seem just right for the story as part of our characters’ journeys and growth.
Weddings come in big and small sizes, from the lovely flower-strewn scene we saw in King the Land to quiet, understated events like in Temperature of Love. This last one, by the way, is the only wedding I have ever cried at (real or fictional) because I love the story and the characters so much and I felt every step of their struggle. And that’s the thing that can make or break a good wedding scene, I think — it’s about just how much we want these characters to make it, and how hard we’re rooting for them to succeed. Well, that and the massive amounts of pretty usually involved, from the decked-out venue to the brushed-back bangs.
What are some of your favorite wedding scenes? Why do you love them?
