Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, The Matchmakers Season 1 earns its spot. The Matchmakers Season 1 gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. In the Joseon era (1392-1910), the young widow Jung Soon-deok has lived an eventful life. She married into a powerful family, but has since lost her husband. She lives a double life, going under an alias when she acts as a matchmaker, pairing up eligible bachelors with suitable brides. Rowoon and Cho Yi-hyun lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2023.

There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Rowoon anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
