The message that we can take from this film is if not all life goes smoothly, especially life after marriage. Towards the end of the film, we can see the reason why Kim To-Il's mother chose to divorce her husband. And also we can see that here the blessing or support of the family is very important. Kim To-il's parents, who were angry when they found out that their daughter was pregnant, finally helped when Jang Ho Hoon disappeared.

The quite iconic scene is when all the players are gathered on the badminton court towards the end of this film . There, all the families had arguments with each other about Kim To-Il who decided not to marry Jang Ho Hoon. There was an inner debate there, but after Kim To-Il thought and got a spiritual shower from his mother, they finally decided to get married. 

Besides being funny, this film can also make the audience moved with their family relationship. Although they often argue, but on the other hand they love each other. The strength of Kim To-Il and Jang Ho Hoon's love here can also be used as motivation, if in a relationship there must be problems and they can resolve it as well as possible. This light film with a good setting  and an interesting story is a must for you to watch!
