Synopsis
A princess who refuses to let the court and the stars pick her husband sets the whole plot in motion. The Princess and the Matchmaker (궁합, 2018) is a Korean period rom-com you can watch online on iFILM, a breezy Joseon-era costume piece led by Shim Eun-kyung.
Princess Songhwa is supposed to accept whichever suitor the palace astrologers endorse. Instead she hires the kingdom's sharpest reader of marital compatibility to run the horoscopes of four candidates she has chosen herself. The reading turns into a tour of the capital, court politics tangle with fortune-telling, and something the charts never predicted starts growing between the princess and the man hired to map her fate.
The film keeps things light and ornate — palace silks, a wink at the whole idea of destiny, comedy where you might expect melodrama. If you enjoy Korean historical rom-coms and want charm over heavy stakes, this one fits a relaxed evening. Stream The Princess and the Matchmaker (2018) online on iFILM.
