THE MATCHMAKERS - PHOTO ESSAY

The drama "Wedding Battle," which is creating a new history in the genre of fusion historical dramas by ranking first in both the Monday-Tuesday drama slot and the overall OTT rankings, is being published as a photo essay. This work, which became a hot topic for featuring the first-ever divorced character roles by lead actors Rowoon and Joyhyun since their debut, is being praised for its endearing and skillful acting, fresh storyline, and stylish direction as the series progresses. The preview videos shown as a teaser for each episode have proven its hot response by making it to 'real-time recommended videos'.

Embodying a variety of messages from comedy, melodrama, mystery, to politics, and exuding diverse charms, this piece is regarded as the 'Joseon version of Love Actually' and 'Joseon version of I Am Solo,' respecting the tastes of all viewers. It offers dating techniques that could be used right now with your 'some' men or women, despite its historical setting in the Joseon Dynasty. The bold statements of women critiquing gender discrimination and stereotypical views on marriage are quite audacious. The 'sadly funny' wishes of common old bachelors who all want a 'pretty girl' as the top criterion for a bride also add a touch of reality and humor to the drama. Matching is not an easy task, after all. Eventually, getting involved in a murder case, the efforts of two couple managers to overcome various challenges wisely and wittily to succeed in matchmaking are both adorable and admirable. The point of interest in the latter part of the drama, which is rapidly heading towards the end, is the increasingly undeniable and affectionate romance between Jeong-woo and Soon-duk. The "Wedding Battle" photo essay is a book for fans who have supported and watched the process of even the matchmakers falling in love with each other, much like avid watchers of a dating program. It has been prepared with as much care as a 'saju-danja' sent from the groom's house to the bride's house before marriage.

The photo essay includes iconic scenes filled with beautiful moments and heart-fluttering quotes from "Wedding Battle," as well as behind-the-scenes shots that have never been revealed before. To commemorate the publication, an unprecedented production team, including lead actors Rowoon and Joyhyun and directors from various fields, participated, enhancing the value of the photo essay. The actors Rowoon and Joyhyun expressed their affection for the drama and its viewers with handwritten signatures and thank-you messages, while the directors who made "Wedding Battle" a special fusion historical drama explained the meaning and symbolism behind each scene in the work commentary. The photo essay compiles "Wedding Battle," loved for its excellent aesthetic completion and the chemistry between the actors, into one substantial volume, much like a 'wedding album'.
