Oct 04, 2023

Upcoming rom-com drama “The Matchmakers” has dropped a new teaser!

“The Matchmakers” tells the story of the meeting between the young widower Shim Jung Woo (Rowoon) and young widow Jung Soon Deok (Cho Yi Hyun) as well as the struggle the two go through together to marry off Joseon era’s unmarried women and men who are considered older than the typical prime age range.

The newly released teaser video begins with a wedding march playing in the background as Shim Jung Woo and Jung Soon Deok introduce themselves proudly. First, the widowed son-in-law of the king Shim Jung Woo heads to Seungjeongwon (the Royal Secretariat during the Joseon dynasty) in his light pink hanbok (Korean traditional clothing) as he showcases his intense presence with a solemn facial expression, saying, “I have been writing appeals related to marriage [annulment] for eight years.” He continues, “There are no cases about marriage that I don’t know about.”

Then, Jung Soon Deok captures attention by introducing herself as “the goddess of matchmaking,” fluttering her red jangot (a type of overcoat worn by women of the Joseon Dynasty). Jung Soon Deok adds, “There is no failure for me!” raising viewers’ anticipation by foreshadowing the meeting between an experienced marriage annulment petitioner and the goddess of matchmaking.
