Story

Ami, heartbroken from her recent breakup, finds a man on a dating app who’s looking to marry someone ASAP. So, she agrees to marry him immediatly. However, they soon will realize that they actually work at the same company. So, they decide to keep their marriage a secret.

Shanai Marriage Honey presents an adorable romance. The love story was instant, straight from the first episode, but, despite the fast pace, it had many sweet moments.

The romance, actually, had almost close to nothing drama and it was a smooth sail from getting married to falling in love.

There were a lot of steamy scenes too between the couple, and it helped a lot that they had chemistry. They were both so cute and, even though the drama didn’t scratch under the surface, the characters were compatible.

Overall, Shanai Marriage Honey is a light drama, that focuses on the relationship rather than anything else, and it is not only easy to watch, but fast too.
