Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Remarriage & Desires is worth clearing space for. The writing in Remarriage & Desires treats its characters as people first, plot devices second. Through an exclusive matchmaking agency, women strive to marry a desirable bachelor and into the highest echelon of society. The performances from Kim Hee-seon and Lee Hyun-wook give it more weight than the premise alone would suggest. Remarriage & Desires premiered in 2022. The writing trusts the audience to sit with ambiguity rather than wrapping everything up in a tidy conclusion — it is the approach that separates good drama from great. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Remarriage & Desires is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. The tonal similarities to Olive Kitteridge are real, though Remarriage & Desires carves out its own identity quickly. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Kim Hee-seon is the centre of it, and it is one of their strongest performances on record. The patience it asks of you early on is paid back with interest.

Remarriage & Desires wrapped up in 2022, created by Lee Geun-young — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
