Starring Cast: Cha Tae Hyun and Bae Doo Na

After 3 years of marriage, a couple find themselves on the verge of divorce.  Their extremely opposite personalities have made their relationship increasingly difficult to bear, and they just aren’t sure it is worth it anymore.  As they wrestle with this new stage in their relationship, the husband meets his first love and her “husband’.  And the two couples develop an unusual and unlikely friendship that gives them each a sounding board, as they spend their time together talking about love, family, and marriage.  Each one will face important choices about their wants and needs, and what they hope for their own futures.

But for some, this focus on conversations may not hold your interest.  The story is very slow moving and prefers talking about situations rather than actually showing them.  At times, the action itself is almost non-existent.  But this cast is excellent, so if you enjoy slow-paced, realistic, character driven stories, this one is definitely worth a watch.  I give ‘Matrimonial Chaos’ an 8 out 10 ramen.
