About
You’ll likely like Late Marriage if you enjoy tight family dynamics and tradition-vs-love drama, with some very frank scenes; Not for you if you want a warm, feel-good tone, like Girl on the Bridge or The Apartment.
Pros: strong performances; cultural tension; intense romance | Cons: thin script; dragging scenes; divisive content
