SYNOPSIS
This film is the story of a humorous but awkward episode in the life of Young-sun, a woman in her late twenties and on the heavy side, when she meets with a man to arrange a marriage. She has already banished any interest in getting married and falling in love from her mind. But her mother has pressured her to meet a man. Matchmaking for marriage is a niche market in the wedding industry.
It is a wonder that Young-sun can control her reactions and show either cheerful attitude or extreme sadness in the uncomfortable situation of meeting a man not by her own will but because of unbearable social pressures and parental expectations. (BYUN Jai-ran)
