He s young, good-looking and popular with the ladies. That is, until he finds out he s arranged to be married to a high school student! Sang-Min and his young bride live a turbulent and hilarious double-life as they find out if there really is life after marriage. Review Clocking in at almost two hours that you never want to end, My Little Bride is simply just what Korean romantic comedy needs at a time of trite formula and My Sassy Girl rip-offs.
