Synopsis |
|
These days, there seems to be just too many single working women in their 30's.
These women have spent all their years accomplishing their dream and now stand
all alone. They turn to men now hoping to settle down but all the fine guys have
been snatched away by young girls who were only concerned about getting married.
Now they try to fall into self-hypnotism that they are better off than being trapped
in an unhappy marriage but they can't help feeling being all alone and lonely.
"Marry Me" is a story of how women in their thirties come to face with
life and discover something new about their lives.
30 year-old spinster reporter Sin-Young was once called a "troublemaker
reporter" but she clenched her teeth and kept digging into her work. Finally
all of these efforts were rewarded with a prize for getting a scoop. As every
dog has his day, she also gets hers and is offered an audition for news anchor.
But again, her destiny doesn't leave her in peace and brings her the news of
her long-time boyfriend's betrayal. He leaves her to marry a girl 12 years younger
than Sin-Young.
Soon-Ae, a 30-year-old stewardess, is the breadwinner of her family who supports
her ailing father, a utterly hopeless widow aunt and another hopeless cousin.
To her, her family comes first before anything else and this scares all the
men away. There was one man who didn't leave her but he was only taking advantage
of her company card that gives discounts to luxury goods. One day, she bumps
right into her boyfriend with another woman on the very spot and in enormous
rage, she beats him up. Very soon she's introduced as "the Crazy Crew"
worldwide and she gets fired.
Seung-Ri is renowned for her numerous love affairs. Hiding this splendid past,
she marries a man of a plutocratic family and goes to New York. She proudly
returns to Korea to give birth to her baby. Then, she shocks everyone when her
baby turns out to be white. She gets kicked out from her husband's family as
well as her own parents. The source of this misfortune goes back to when she
tried to get back at her playboy husband by also having an affair. Though it
was only a one night stand with an American guy, she now can't turn back the
time. What's more, she hears that her baby died as soon as he was born. From
then, she starts her life again in Seoul with her friends Sin-Young and Soon-Ae.
