Visually striking, the lead stars of The Matchmakers tangle in a wedding battle.
Rowoon and Cho Yi Hyun are displayed in the main poster romance version of the coming KBS2 Monday-Tuesday series.
The Matchmakers is a comic melodrama about a struggling matchmaker. Set in the Joseon era, an old maid and an old bachelor work together in a grand wedding operation.
In the drama, Hanyang’s most resentful man, Shim Jung-woo, and Jeong Seon-deok, a widow who lives a double life, will join forces. They are set to present Joseon era’s version of Love Actually in which they marry single people of Joseon.
Accordingly, The Matchmakers is written by Ha Su-jin, who showed the power of novel material and superb narrative through Sell Your Haunted House. Steering the production is director Hwang Seung-ki who showed off his delicate directing skills in Memorials, Justice, and Review Notebook of My Embarrassing Days.
The collaboration aims for a unique drama that breaks the ‘prejudice of love’ by completing witty and pleasant characters in a story that will showcase beautiful visual beauty.
“The Matchmakers” Drops Striking Character Poster of Rowoon and Cho Yi Hyun
In the main poster unveiled, Jung-woo and Seon-deok are drawn in a picturesque shot with colorful lotus lanterns in the background.
Jung-woo reaches out to give a lotus lantern and naturally places his hand on Soon-deok’s shoulder, revealing the height difference between them. Seon-deok, who is close enough to be held in Jung-woo’s arms, shows warm eyes with a gentle face, creating a sweet vibe.
The text on the poster says: “I’m not in love with you.” It appears above them, raising expectations for their adventure to marry Joseon’s single people.
The production team explains the romance version’s main poster aims to capture the heart-pounding moment shared by Jung-woo and Seon-deok who completed romantic visuals from head to toe.
“The Matchmakers which is Joseon’s version of Love Actually, is filled with laughter and affection. It aims a refreshing and delightful romantic historical drama packed with emotions. Please look forward to it.
