The concept of an arranged marriage is often
difficult to accept, especially amongst less traditional adolescents today.
Sweet 18 (Nang Rang 18 Seh) covers this very premise and the story begins when
Kwon Hyuk-joon’s grandfather, the head of the traditional Kwon family agrees to
an arranged marriage between his grandson (Lee Dong Gun) and Yoon Jung-sook (Han
Ji Hye) when Yoon Jung-sook is born. 18 years later, the two families lose
contact because soon after the contract is signed, Jung-sook’s family encounters
financial issues and is forced to run away.
Meanwhile, Jung-sook has grown up to be a rebellious and strong-willed girl who
just wants to live her life as she sees fit. With little aspirations, she is the
direct foil of her achievement-bound counterpart, Hyuk-joon. When the two meet
each other, they clash horribly; Jung-sook thinks her fiancee is nothing but
boring, and Hyuk-joon believes Jung-sook to be nothing but an immature child.
The rest of the series follows their life living together as a couple, and the
obstacles they are faced with. When Hyuk-joon’s first love reappears and wants
to claim Hyuk-joon for herself (despite the fact that he’s married), who will
Hyuk-joon choose? His first love Ga-young, or immature spunky Jung-sook?
