in wedding is not possible'', she plays Na Ah-jung, a struggling actress who is busy doing everything that falls under the category of “acting'', such as background acting, reality shows, and children's plays, while waiting for the big break that will never come. .
We first meet the bright, smiling Ah-jung on stage at a wedding, serenading couples as the bride's best friend. This also turned out to be an act. She was being paid to pretend to be a friend of her bride.
This foreshadows the very large role she will play in the show, as she will once again be pretending to be someone for the benefit of paying customers.

Ah-jung's desire to become an actress is a common dream shared by many viewers watching at home, as well as many other downtrodden Korean drama heroines. Like her previous characters, Ah-jung is driven and doesn't give up on her dreams despite repeated failures.
What sets her apart and gives her a comical edge are the many skills she has, as she repeatedly explains, “just in case.” In her off time, she scuba dived and learned how to ride horses. Both are useful skills when stepping up to be a Kagemusha of a lead actor, or an actor who doesn't.
Her skills also come in handy in real life, such as the martial arts she uses to fight off a group of young pornographers who deceived her by claiming they were filming an indie film.
She also has a rather special skill of jumping out of a moving car, which she performs perfectly and escapes from the character, but falls into a lamppost, which knocks her unconscious.
Ah-jung's unique skills may seem interesting, but the difficult reality for today's Korean youth, who increasingly have to find concrete ways to distinguish themselves from the already well-trained crowd. is reflected.
This new series is much more traditional. Although Chung puts her own spin on her familiar K-drama heroics, this project is the most conventional she's ever worked on.
Everything is dangerously close to being outdated, but there is one aspect that stands out. It's Do-han's sexuality.
Do-han is gay and keeps a very low profile. Due to social prejudice against his homosexuality, he is forced to hide his identity from everyone around him, except for Ah-jung, whom he met by chance when they were together in high school. .
Unusually for a Korean drama, Do-han's sexuality is the key to driving the entire story.Since then wedding is not possible ' is destined to be a love story between Ah-jung and Ji-han, and the fake marriage that will soon take place between Do-han and Ah-jung will eventually have to fall apart.
This means he has to confess and come out to his family, and it will be very interesting to see how the drama deals with this and how it depicts Do-han's love life in the future. So far, there have been signs that they are dating, but they have never exchanged a single word on screen with a potential lover, let alone kissed.
