A lot of K-dramas are all about romantic love stories, quarrels, kissing scenes, and displays of cute affection, and fans always love the guilty pleasure of watching a wedding scene. These wedding scenes don't only occur in the more fluffy dramas, but also in dramatic thrillers like Flower of Evil and fantasy stories.
What makes a good K-drama wedding? It's not just about the glowing bride and her gorgeous dress or her handsome husband-to-be. Fans take pleasure in the comical circumstances that take place before the big moment. There are also the elements of finally seeing the main couple declare their eternal love forever after all the turmoil and drama they've gone through.
Hee-Sung & Ji-Won (Flower Of Evil)
Flower of Evil is a melodrama about a seemingly perfect couple's life dissolving into shambles. Hee-Sung (Lee Joon-Gi) hides a dark secret from his detective wife that soon tests and ruins their marriage. The show is riddled with heartbreaking moments that make fans sympathize with the couple.
At the beginning of the show's final episode, fans see a flashback of Hee-Sung and his wife's wedding day. Hee-Sung explains that their wedding day is only an event and all that matters is her. The scene is emotional as Hee-Sung in real life is gravely wounded.
Yeon-Seo & Dan (Angel's Last Mission: Love)
The story of Angel's Last Mission: Love will have fans weeping and feeling extreme emotion. Lee Yeon-Seo (Shin Hye-Sun) was once a great ballerina who suffered an accident, leaving her unable to see. She's now feeling bitter and cold. Dan (Kim Myung-Soo) is an optimistic yet troublesome angel tasked with finding Yeon-Seo's true love, only to fall for her himself.
Their overall story made their wedding scene that much better. It was simplistic but perfect by all means. Yeon-Seo walks down the aisle with Dan by her side as they literally get married by Time. As a beautiful song plays in the background, they give their vows about not believing in any destiny but themselves.
Mi-So & Young-Joon (What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?)
What's Wrong With Secretary Kim? is a K-drama about a diligent secretary and her boss, who fall in love. Fans know that their relationship was passionate but also comical, as Young-Joon (Park Seo-Joon) had a jealous streak and didn't know much about love.
Their wedding day was something to marvel at. There were some good laughs and heartfelt tears. Before they take their vows, Young-Joon is so nervous he can't stop his leg from shaking. He admits he's never been this nervous, not even when signing billion-dollar deals. Their closest colleagues and friends applaud them as they walk down the aisle, and as they kiss, there's a montage that features all the kisses they shared that lead up to this moment.
Gi-Tae & Jang-Mi (Marriage Not Dating)
Marriage Not Dating's storyline was comical, as it entailed a plastic surgeon with no desire to ever get married and a shopgirl with no luck in finding a partner. To stop Gong Gi-Tae's (Yeon Woo-Jin) parents from meddling in his life, he has Joo Jang-Mi (Han-Groo) pose as his girlfriend.
Their wedding day was far from perfect and even comical. The couple has unresolved issues that lead to a fight before they take their vows. At the altar, their quarrel continues and even the guests get involved. As it starts pouring rain, the guest scurries away, as Gi-Tae and Jang-Mi start laughing. They exchange rings and share a kiss in the rain.
Dal-Mi & Do-San (Start-Up)
Seeing Dal-Mi (Bae Suzy) and Do-San (Nam Joo-Hyuk) get married at the end of Netflix's original series, Start-Up had fans sighing with content. The two characters went through a lot of heartbreaking moments, as Dal-Mi realizes that Dol-San isn't the same person from her childhood.
Their love prevailed, though, and in the final episode, there's a scene that shows a desk with Dal-Mi and Do-San as the CEO's of their own company and photos of their wedding. Fans don't actually get to see their wedding occur, but it still counts, and had fans feeling emotional.
Da-Jung & Dae-Youn (18 Again)
18 Again's storyline looks familiar, as it was based on a popular American teen movie, 17 Again, starring Zac Efron. The show followed a similar idea, as Jung Da-Jung (Kim Ha-Neul) files for divorce from her husband, Hong Dae-Young (Yoon Sang-Hyun). Dae-Young's life spirals downward and so he wishes to go back to being 18 again. Suddenly, he gets his wish.
He has a journey of self-discovery and realizes his wife's sadness and falls in love all over again. And the heartfelt and emotional story only got better, as Dae-Young return to his real age and remarries his wife. This time, though, he'll do it right and both are beaming with joy as they walk down the aisle. The scene finishes with a montage filled with the good and happy moments they had in their relationship.
Bong-Soon & Min-Hyuk (Strong Woman Bong-Soon)
Strong Woman Bong-Soon is a fan favorite K-drama for a reason. Besides the storyline and character, fans adored Bong-Soon (Park Bo-young) and Min-Hyuk's (Park Hyung-Sik) wedding. Fans had a good laugh in the meeting room scene before the couple got married. Min-Hyuk rushes in and is flabbergasted at how beautiful his bride is.
As their family and friends come in to greet them, there's even a small showdown between Min-Hyuk and Guk-Doo (Ji Soo), Bong-Soon’s childhood friend who was part of a love triangle with the pair. When Guk-doo goes to greet them, he jokingly says Bong Soon looks beautiful and she better be taken care of. Their wedding was beautiful and comical right to the end when they kiss and one of their colleagues, who has a crush on Min-Hyuk, screams, "Stop!" and throws flowers at them.
Hee-Kyung & Joon-Woo (True Beauty)
True Beauty became one of 2020's best teen K-dramas about finding beauty in oneself and it used many common tropes that had fans hooked. Fans couldn't help but laugh and marvel at the wedding between Hee-Kyung (Im Se-Mi) and Joon-Woo (Oh Eui-Shik) and they loved the second-lead couple relationship from the start.
The show was great because it showed a couple who defies gender norms, as Hee-Kyung is more stereotypically "masculine" and assertive, while Joon-Woo is shy and pensive, stereotypical female qualities. And their wedding day described them perfectly. Hee-Kyung accidentally gets her head stuck between the bars of a table. Unable to get herself out, they cut around her and she gets married with the bars around her neck. There's even a fun dance number.
Lee Yeon & Ji-Ah (Tale Of The Nine-Tailed)
When looking for an epic fantasy K-drama with a spectacular love story, Tale of the Nine-Tailed is highly regarded. Lee Yeon (Lee Dong-Wook) and Nam Ji-Ah's (Jo Bo-Ah) story is complex, as Lee Yeon is a powerful Gumiho, or creature from Korean folklore or legends. Ji-Ah is a reincarnation of his true love and wanted by supernatural creatures.
Their marriage scene in the show had fans emotional, as they finally get a happily ever after. Lee Yeon personally picks his bride's dress and makes her a flower crown. They exchange rings made of leaves and flowers and get married in a dreamlike meadow, sharing a loving kiss.
Goblin & Eun-Tak (Goblin)
The wedding between Goblin (Gong Yoo) and Eun-Tak (Kim Go-Eun) was a long-awaited moment for fans. From start to end, the wedding was perfect, as the curtain opened to reveal Eun-Tak in her dress.
Goblin is rendered silent staring at her and the two get married at night in a green field by candlelight. What made the wedding scene even more impactful was the following events, as Eun-Tak meets her end.
