Amazon’s “Happy Marriage?!” review



In which I applaud the main leads and some of its supporting cast, but lament the remaining cast and some badly enacted scenes...

I stumbled upon Amazon’s Original Happy Marriage when, like most of us these days, I flicked through Amazon, Netflix and other streaming services, trying to find a new series to watch to kill the lockdown time. It was a mixed bag in the first place, but I’m glad I stick to it and watched till the end. At least I can say that I like Dean Fujioka, though I think he’s a better musician than he is an actor (like Lee Jong-hyun a better musician than an actor, but both ikemen are still lovely to watch). But I also found Shirasu Jin, an actor about 22 years old who I think should be cast alongside Okada Masaki soon enough due to his acting talents. Oh, and Seino Nana is a darling actress as well here!

Anyway, “Happy Marriage?!” is a tale about a sales girl who was rescued from her poor living condition because a rich man offered him marriage. Sounds like a Cinderella story? You got that right.
