I Do I Do is modern and stylish. It’s sexy and fashionable. It’s funny and witty. And the main characters are so damn attractive, young, talented, successful and cool. They are the kind of people you want to be, or at the very least, wish that you knew. But above all these things, this drama is smart. It is perhaps the most cleverly written and well developed drama I have ever watched. I Do I Do takes conventional ideas and attitudes and challenges them head on, like that bully in the school yard that turns a kid upside down to empty his pockets for lunch money. Where other dramas tip toe around sensitive topics, this drama puts a spotlight on those social taboos, and its characters handle them with grace, style, courage and dignity. It’s truly inspiring. So many aspects of this drama were pleasing for me. But in this review, I want to highlight one actor in particular who absolutely shined. That person is Lee Jang Woo. I went into this drama expecting Kim Sun Ah to be amazing, and of course, she was. But what I was not expecting was to be blown away by this kid playing Park Tae Kang. Ironically, within the first few episodes, I had written Jang Woo off. I’d hastily decided that, not only was Tae Kang an annoying and useless character, but also that Jang Woo’s acting abilities were questionable. Less than halfway through the drama, I had to eat those words. While all four of the lead characters grow and develop beautifully, Park Tae Kang did a complete 180 in this drama. The change was so gradual and subtle that I looked up and found myself smiling like a giddy school girl at the mere sight of his face on screen. And I don’t think it’s so much that HE changes, but rather my understanding of him became clearer. It’s amazing how a well written story line and some good acting can alter your perspective and emotions so quickly!! Some might write this drama off too hastily because it starts off a little slower than most. But like any good story, it develops over time and gains momentum, getting better and stronger with each episode. I really can’t say anything bad about this drama. Nothing about it disappointed me. I wish I could literally embrace it in a nice, big hug. One more point I would like to make. I am not some kind of rocket scientist, but there are a lot of dramas out there that, I feel, insult my intelligence as a viewer. But this drama never did that. Not once. It never fell into the same old clichés or patterns. Through all 16 episodes, the actions of the characters were believable, consistent and rationale. Also, the events therein even surprised me, intrigued me or moved me emotionally. This is very rare for me. I really wish more dramas were like this one. And I hope I Do I Do can set a new standard for the quality of writing and acting that audiences desire and deserve.
