TV Review: Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency (2019) (Historical Rom-Com)

Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency (꽃파당: 조선혼담공작소)
2019
16 episodes
M
Historical Rom-Com
Netflix

When a peasant suddenly becomes king and is unable to wed his first love, he turns to Joseon's top matchmakers to transform her into a noblewoman. (Synopsis)


Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency was a really fun series. I liked the premise and characters. The plot was a bit out there at times on the believability scale, but it was more comedy and romance than accurate historical drama, so that was part of the enjoyment. It was great to get the backstories of some of the supporting characters too as the narrative progressed, as they were almost as interesting as the principals. All up, this is a drama that will tick all the boxes if you enjoy historical (almost) settings, a blend of emotional drama and comedy, and a compelling love triangle. I am giving it 4.5 stars.
