A very good revenge drama

Probably not as sinister as The Glory, but all the angst and anger towards the husband and best friend for sure! A little too much overacting from the support casts, but generally very good.

Each episode will keep you wanting for more so I suggest to binge watch. The travel timeline and why fate had to still play out was a little confusing. For example: a couple had to get married, someone had to have cancer and someone had to die in a car accident. Just watch with an open mind.

Definitely highly recommended! :)

Good Enough

Korean Drama '' Marry My Husband '' is a fantasy melodrama with a romance to boot.

The drama, first of all, has a strong start. The melodrama hits its peak then, with the villains being truly despicable, creating the right environment to cultivate a revenge plot hereby.

The romance was also cute, especially since the main couple had loads of chemistry.

On the other hand, the drama started getting messy, with idiotic twists, cheesy romantic scenes, and an ending that was rushed to conclude everyone's storyline.

At least, the performances were all enjoyable.

So, overall, six out of ten.

Clichê , talvez mas emocionante e envolvente com certeza

Como uma leitora do manhwa eu fiquei feliz que finalmente eles iam colocar um dos meus manhwas favoritos na tela mas ,quando vi o cast eu fiquei um pouco preocupada porque temos uma Park min young que não tinha feita uma personagem tão vingativa quanto a Ji Woo e temos um ator que eu nunca tinha realmente prestado atenção, mas as atuações foram muito boas .
O drama é um enredo que nós não temos muito que é a regressão no tempo , e uma coisa que amei na adaptação é que eles incrementaram coisas que não teve não manhwa mas não saiu do enredo como a cena deles ouvindo BTS foi sensacional .
Os protas tinha uma química sensacional e os vilões foram sensacionais eu sinceramente não esperava tanto de um ator que é muito bom em comédia ser um cara tão escroto mas ele ainda trazia marca dele que é a comédia e deixou isso no personagem a atriz que fez a vilã foi perfeita porque ele passa a vibe da personagem de uma menina inocente mas que é uma grande pick me . Foi um drama que me fez ficar ansiosa toda a semana mesmo eu já sabendo o que aconteceria eu amei as cenas deles quando eram mais novos o drama foi muito bom Recomendo assistir se você está de saco cheio de mocinhas que só levam e não revidam e só aceitam o que acontece estão basicamente esperando um príncipe pra salva-las nessa história temos uma pessoa que está lutando pra viver uma vida onde ela é respeitada e Amada . E de um cara que não quer apenas deixar as coisas acontecerem mas luta por aquilo que ele quer .

Once you see it, you can't unsee it

Watching this, I finally realized Park Min Young has three talents: the radiant smile, the sorrowful watery-eyes, and the full on beautiful crying. As long as she cycles through those three strengths, she's stellar. However, the second the script asks her to show a nuanced performance, she's overwhelmed. (I'm never going to unsee that now) This became clear every time Song Ha Yoon appeared in a scene with PMY. One actress shredded the screen, the other looked wooden. The gap between acting abilities was obvious.
Not all can be blamed on the actress. The script wasn't stellar either. Disappointing, because the series started off with a very gripping first episode, but the emotional grab generated during those few episodes soon weakened to a sloppy grip as the story unwound. There were plot holes, there were tropes, there were filler characters, there was some very obvious plot meandering--not surprisingly, under the weight of all this lack of originality, the story's momentum faltered. This gave me time to think about other things happening on the screen, like why did they create that character? He belongs better in a romantic comedy, no? Not only that, but what's with the new wardrobe? They have PMY sashaying into the office like she's strutting down a runway, while all the other office grunts wear wardrobes that say 'office grunt'. And they have all the females just loving her more the wilder and pricier her outfits get? Plausible? I think not. Also, why are glasses so maligned in fiction? Take a really good looking person, slap a less than flattering pair of glasses on them, and we suddenly we can't see that they're still a REALLY good looking person? Hello, Clark Kent...
It's never good when my mind wanders so freely.

THE PERFECT CRINGE?

so i hesitated a lot to watch this because, well, the poster looked cringe, and the title sounded soapy and i was loosing hope on good dramas lately...

WITHOUT SPOILERS, you only need to watch the first scene with the window to know that it will be a great show!! this quality cannot be faked!

the cinematography, imagery, the story, the parallels, lessons and how people change or don't change were amazing!

despite a cliché seeming 'cold' ML, with typical tropes, it was a well done one!
i often gave up on shows made by this FL although i love her a lot! i think she was phenomenal here!

the FL transformation throughout the show is lovely and inspiring, and i think this show tackles toxic and violent relationships well and inspires a healing journey!

i knew this show would be well done since its based on a solid webtoon: the producers can stay coherent more easily , but its a show that gets really messy with drama!

if you are looking for a classic drama, this is the PERFECT CRINGE!

Should have been a 10-12 episode drama.

Title: "Marry My Husband" – The Title Speaks for Itself

Story:
I was initially intrigued by the plot as I love a good revenge story. I liked the first half of the drama and how the lead’s situation was clearly presented. Also, you will understand all the back story and why she wanted revenge in the first episode. The story had a good balance of ups and downs, showing that not everything went the FL way. I appreciated how she effectively used her knowledge of the future and how she learns from fall backs or mistakes (a lot of lead characters in dramas do not learn HAHAHA). The rules of her rebirth were also explained, which added depth to the plot (ex: transfer of fate). Overall, the early episodes have a good flow.

However, After the supposed “revenge” of the FL, where her best friend marries the trash husband, everything went downhill. The ML and FL romance felt rushed and forced. There is no spark, no chemistry, no nothing at all. The ML character felt too flat. He did his job helping tho, but his scenes felt repetitive and SUPER green flag to the point that the character was too predictable and boring. Also, the addition of another character did not help but it only complicates the story. I found the character of the ML's ex-fiancée unnecessary TBH. Her character only complicates the story. Her presence felt out of place and didn’t make much sense. Also, the development of the husband’s (Park min hwan) character felt unrealistic. There were some cliché moments, but they were tolerable.

Acting/Cast:
AGAIN!!!! NO CHEMISTRY AT ALL between the ML and FL. The fiance was excellently portrayed in my opinion. He is funny and at the same time an effective antagonist while the best friend nailed the “irritating cute acting but psycho” persona.

Music:
The music was decent but not particularly memorable.

Rewatch Value:
Probably not. If I were to rewatch, Maybe the first episodes but even that is just okay. The latter half didn’t hold up as well for me.

Overall:
It was okay overall, a decent watch, but mediocre at best.

a satisfying revenge story that should have left romance alone

this show is at its very best when it showcases the FL and the SFL. their scenes are electrifying, elevated further by song ha yoon's exemplary portrayal of the abominable soomin. FL serving both SFL and SML what they deserved is the heart of the show, and it is so very satisfying to watch the SFL + SML slowly ruin themselves all the while thinking they have the longer end of the stick, and only realizing too late that they've walked straight into the trap they thought they laid for FL.

but that's what the show is good at. the revenge.

the romance between FL and ML is already bland and unengaging in and of itself, but it becomes criminally annoying when juxtaposed with the off-the-charts energy of the revenge story. i found yoo ji hyuk's character especially uninspired. he's a run-of-the-mill cardboard cutout love interest that was thrust into the midst of two well-established, fully developed characters. what is good old 'rich boy with a dark past' jihyuk against the disgusting minhwan, a weak-minded clown of a unapologetic scumbag, or the ruthlessly manipulative, deliciously narcissistic soomin? i wasn't a fan of na in woo's portrayal, either. it's almost always the same sad, tortured expression, and you can argue that it's just how his character is, but to me it felt like emotional constipation and a little too reminiscent of his performance in Mr. Queen (which i was not a fan of either). the latter half of the show spent too much time on FL & ML's romance, and added further unnecessary makjang elements only tangentially related to the core revenge against SML & SFL, so if you don't like the romance, there's essentially nothing to gain from those scenes. let's not get started on the addition of the totally eyeroll-inducing ex-fiance character.

that said, the revenge was schadenfreude at its finest and will get you invested in the story for a good chunk of the show's run. the latter half of the show, however, was a major letdown in its failure to focus on what we care about most -- jiwon bringing about soomin's downfall.

Great concept, mediocre execution

I am writing this review as someone who hasn't read the webtoon.
I am someone who really enjoys revenge plots, it feeds my soul to see bad people be put in their place, however, this drama, on many occassiona, just had me feeling frustrated instead of happy.

What I liked
1. Wonderful performances by supporting cast - I love almost most of the supporting cast of the show, including actors portraying Sumin and Jihwan. To pull off villains that make your blood boil is not an easy task and these two nailed it. It was genuinely infuriating to see them manipulate and gaslight Ji-won.
2. Jiwon learning to stand up for herself, and face Sumin on her own as much as she could. It was nice to not have Ji hyuk be her knight in shining armor all the time.
3. Jihwan's death, it was satisfying to see him die the way Jiwon had, instead of it being Sumin. It was a plot twist I enjoyed.

What I disliked
1. The main leads - I disliked both of their characters, especially Jiwon's. Her pure and naive personality felt unreal and stupid and instead of pitying her situation, I only ended up feeling mildly annoyed at her decisions. Even after time traveling, she continued to take forever before she grew a spine, and by the end of it, I was rooting more for Jooran than her victory. Jihyuk's character was the blandest male lead one ever had in kdramas. Having his entire existence revolve around Jiwon's happiness made him one-dimensional. Surely, they could have explored his relationship with his fiance in detail, and explore his arc. He basically was like just there.... most of the time, and it was boring to watch him on screen. The chemistry of the main leads also was lacking, and I was left feeling uncomfortable whenever they hugged, because of how forced it felt.

2. The writing taking a nosedive after episode 11. I didn't mind the addition of Yoora to the plot, they needed a scapegoat to share Jihyuk's fate, while also being connected to him. But damn, they failed the execution. Her character too had no depth, no rational explanation behind her motivation other than she was ruthless... which we didn't actually get to properly appreciate because of the lack of context. Also it didnt make sense why she would use Jihwan considering how pwerful she is, let alone sleep with him and bail him out of jail. Crappy writing.

3. The fact that no one stands up against that shitty manager, its so irritating. Surely someone would have, it just felt so ..... weird that everyone just tolerated that behaviour. Surely Jihyuk's sister could have had him fired, especially since he underperforms.... it was stupid.

Overall.. this was a one time watch, and I played most of it in 2X speed.

Got her lickback and then got her man

Kang Ji-won is one of my favourite mfl’s ever
Yoo Ji-hyuk’s dedication NEVER wavered and I love him for that (and his visuals)
Hui-yeon is my goddess
Mrs Yang finally traded her dutty husband for some eye candy (that man was so ugh idek how to phrase it, he’s just yummy)
Eun-ho was bearable when he finally got a clue
Park Min-hwan is— sorry, *was* the embodiment of the dirt on my shoe, and I hope the flames are consuming him in the fiery pits <3
Jeong Su-min is a crazy whore and can burn in hell, a correctional facility is way too good for her <3
I pray on my knees that Oh Yu-ra is engulfed by Lucifer’s fire in eternal suffering <3
Both Su-min and Ji-won’s living parents can burn in hell <3

This was such a smart plot line with *perfect* casting and amazing pacing throughout most of the show (it got a bit messy towards the end). The first episode *immediately* pulls you in and encourages you to keep watching. I love the revenge plot, I love the collaboration, I love the romance and how it actually helped the mfl protect and better herself, I love the physical intimacy, I love the female friendships (except 1 obvi), I love the craziness of it all. I just love this show!!

But I do think that the show could have commented on the theme of domestic violence in long-term/committed relationships and its statistics: if Ji-won didn’t die by her husband’s hand, then Mrs Yang would have without outsider intervention. I think it speaks to how common domestic abuse is. I wish the show shed light on that, but I do know that they are still quite conservative when it comes to speaking on certain matters.

Overall reveiw -Marry My husband

Adapt Nover based marry My Husband drama is Good revenge,Rom drama. My overall opinion It can be said that the performances of the villain characters in this drama are very good. It is so effective that it makes you hate the characters even knowing that it is an act. Soo min is acting very well and it must be said that she has acted as she deserves a best supporting actress award. Lee yi kyung was able to highlight Min hwan charcter eka very deceitful loser very well in the story. When yu ra character appeared in ep 12 then the story felt confusing but it matched very well with the ending. Other characters were also very well acted.

I will not talk much about the main character this time. Because their performances are excellent as usual. chemistry between main characters is best it can be score 10/10. But I feel that it would be better if the chemistry between Baek Eun Ho and Yoo Hee Yeon and the story time were extended. The example that can be taken from this story is that our destiny is not decided by luck or misfortune, but by the choices of which people we associate with. But as the saying goes, we don't get a second chance, so choose carefully which people we choose to hang out with.

5 Reasons to Watch Marry My Husband

1. Exciting Mix of Makjang Twist
One of the best makjang dramas I've ever watched! When I discovered the plot involved marriage affairs, I never expected it will be a delightful mix with comedy and fantasy elements. Each episode kept me hooked!

2. Thrilling Revenge for Betrayal
The revenge storyline is incredibly satisfying and each twist is fulfilling with the heroine ensuring karma for each villain.

3. A Journey of Starting Over
It's heartwarming to witness our heroine given the opportunity to make things right. Everyone deserves a second chance, especially with a strong support system by their side.

4. Office Sismance
Finally we have that perfect bestie we all wish for our heroine. She's the mood of the series! Here's to hoping for more vibrant characters like her in the future!

5. Meet The Villain You’ll Love to Hate
Song Ha Yoon succeeds in portraying both an irritating villain and the ultimate pick-me girl. Kudos to her for delivering an impeccable performance that contrast with her usual protagonist roles.

Unique Things:
Right from the first episode, I found myself rooting for the struggling heroine, cheering her on as she bravely confronts each toxic character one by one. Watching her going through physical and mental transformation throughout the series was inspiring.

Also let's give a round of applause to the Dad character for blessing the story with a reliable and supportive male lead. The allowance concept in between second chances are brilliant!

And when it comes to romance, Park Min Young's chemistry with her on-screen partner is always exceptional.

Beware of spoilers ahead

I have to say, the karma and revenge in this drama were spot on. The downfall and death of the ex-husband was satisfying, although I wish he had suffered from his debts a bit longer. And the twist with the ex-fiancée’s car accident? Brilliant.

I just a bit disappointed with Mrs. Yang’s cancer subplot. I was hoping for something more unexpected, like a misdiagnosis. As I hope the cancer goes to Su Min instead. Lastly, I don’t think Yu Ra’s character was entirely unnecessary. She helped tie up the loose end of the car accident for our male lead. But a little clue about the fiancée from the start would have been perfect.

Now, let’s talk about one of my new crush from: Na In Woo. I’m thrilled to see him shine in such an amazing drama after his last makjang, Jinxed at First, which I didn’t really enjoy (sadly, as I love both leads). Here’s hoping he gets more spotlight in the future!

I usually wouldn’t rewatch a makjang drama, so don't mind the rewatch value as this one excelled in so many other aspects.

Sem Graça

No geral, achei um drama sem graça.

Os quatro primeiros episódios são bons; dá vontade de acompanhar porque os antagonistas são repugnantes e você quer que Kang Ji-won consiga se vingar deles. Quando ela entende o que aconteceu com ela ao voltar ao passado e a missão dela, e começa a pôr o plano de vingança em prática, dá aquele ânimo de torcer para que tudo dê certo, se a Soo-mim ou o PMH vão ser mais espertos e darão uma invertida nela. Mas no decorrer dos episódios, tudo sempre dá certo para a Ji-won; todo plano, por mais mirabolante que seja, ela consegue cumprir com êxito, não se frustra, não tem contratempo, nada. E qual é a graça de acompanhar uma história assim? Qualquer coisinha que os antagonistas fazem, dá errado. Até coisas simples como pegar o número da barraca, pá, não conseguiu. A Ji-won se transforma em uma fodona ardilosa rapidamente.

Já o outro protagonista, Yoo Ji-hyuk, é um personagem tão pobrinho, que o arco do advogado, que é um coadjuvante, tem mais desenvolvimento do que o dele. Dezesseis horas requentando o problema dele de ser esquivo, e não tem quase mais nenhuma nuance, além de ele financiar a vingança da Ji-won. YJH está sempre nos momentos quando convém, com as sobrancelhas franzidas e com uma cara de "quero ir embora". Ele não tem história própria, fracassa na tentativa de um triângulo amoroso sem desenvolvimento, e é apenas um suporte para Ji-won baseado em um encontro bobo. Até achei que aconteceria alguma coisa quando Oh Yu-ri aparece, mas foi só pra encher linguiça mesmo.

Me pergunto também como a cabeça da Soo-min pode ser tão boba. Uma mulher de trinta e dois anos, que provavelmente carrega vinte anos de frustração, mágoa e até mesmo ódio, que quando criança tomou coragem de se aproximar de Ji-won, pegar a carteira dela e depois fingir que a tinha encontrado, simular que gostava dela, e no decorrer do drama, tem umas atitudes que faria sentido se ela tivesse, sei lá, uns dezessete anos? No máximo vinte? Entendo que ela subestimava a Ji-won no começo dos episódios, mas no decorrer da trama, ela não poderia ter tomado noção e intensificar o nível dos conflitos, não? Só da Ji-won ter tirado a máscara da Soo-min no reencontro da turma, era para ela ter aberto os olhos e ter parado de vê-la como inofensiva.

Meus pontos positivos foram: acompanhar a jornada da Sra. Yang e até onde essa história iria (o que não diria que foi tão positivo assim).
