Before We Get Married

I am giving all my 10 stars to Jasper Liu, the male lead actor. Never watched a Tawanese drama before and I absolutely loved him in it and would have never continued it except that he intrigued me from the very beginning so I had to continue watching it and he did not fail my original expectation all the way through to the end. Quite honestly I didn't realize when starting this series that he was the same person that I watched previously in "Together" until I looked up his biography when I finished. I was quite surprised as loved that travel series so much but when I watched it I never heard of him before and his counterpart Lee Seung-gi was always one of my Top 5 favorite K-drama male leads, so I kind of associated it with him. I went back and took a look at my review of that since I was curious, and here was my subject line "Would have given this 100 stars" and that was directed at both actors even though I never heard of him before which was extremely rare - the only time I have ever done that. So true to form, he caught my attention again, so there has to be something to Jasper as a star.

Didn't care too much for the lead female as even though the script was written the way it was I really didn't like some of the smirks on her face, and it was just too much. These scripts seem to follow the C-Drama style of the female rebuffing the male over and over and over and over again until you can't stand it anymore which isn't my favorite, although I did like the more adult theme of it which was nice to have a change in that direction. Jasper played that part of the CEO that endures alot of pressure perfectly, and was extremely romantic in every scene. Hope to see more of both him and also more themes that are mature like this. I didn't see anything R rated IMO - (just alot of really romantic kissing) I am just assuming it is the idea of the more mature theme that gave it the rating, but very good. Didn't care for the ending too much (no thanks to the female lead). Don't know if anyone else noticed in the last episode that the female lead was wearing earrings that said "CRAZY" but that was my impression of her the whole time. #Crazy #Jasper Liu.

In a departure from the typical "pure love" C-Romance story, this show delves into the issues of falling out of love, cheating, and casual sex. Aside from the somewhat racy subject matter, however, in terms of actual substance, the rest of the story isn't particularly unique and generally conforms to the standard C-Drama mold.

Please note that if you prefer soft and sensitive guys who keep a respectful distance and wait for the woman to make the first move, this show probably won't be your cup of tea. However, if the overbearing, alpha-male CEO archetype is your flavor, then you're in luck (although thanks to Jasper Liu's "sweet-guy" features, his character's behavior often seems more mischievous than obnoxious) .

In short, if you go for classic C-Romance but often wish they had more actual romantic contact or some real-world grit, this one is worth a try. Recommended!

ROMANCE RATING: * * * 9/10. Despite it's R-Rating, the most provocative part of this film is the subject matter itself. Yes, there were some semi-taboo shots (people showering/using the toilet), as well as a few bedroom scenes (two of which featured undressing), but they showed less skin than you would see at the beach and were mainly suggestive because of their context. By western standards they would receive no more than a PG-13 rating.

That being said, Jasper Liu and Puff Guo had decent chemistry together, and shared quite a bit of "skinship." However, most of their romance was in the form of longing from a distance, and there were only 4-5 kiss scenes, (2 of which were tied to bedroom scenes). So yes, there was more romantic contact than your average C-Drama, but definitely not what I would have expected for an R rating.
