It's quite exciting (edited)
Even if the plot feels less fanfictional than the webtoon version I kind of prefer the series... I have my reasons like in the webtoon Ji-hyuk's character wasn't really shown as the genre was biased to revenge but as the series is basically Rom-com, the plot is really showing the character 'Ji-hyuk' ... Many are dropping it cause of the 'unreasonable' entry of Ji-hyuk's ex fiance but in my opinion we needed it to know more about his character. Ngl ep 12 was really frustrating and just like most (former) female leads' behavior, Ji Won way of handling made be go all crazy... But I kinda get it ig.... Overall I think the minor changes were quite needed and let's hope it can satisfy us till the end!Today was the last airing and I finished watching it... I am really satisfied with the plot specifically the death of Min-hwan made it really satisfying compared to that in the webtoon... Also Ji-hyuk's ex -fiancé's plot was quite well shown! Whoever changed the plot into this one I must say they did a great job... Likewise I too, am changing my prejudgment.

Park Min Young's comeback is strong and striking
A really good adaptation of a webtoon into a drama . From the start to end, the drama was engaging. The drama will make you feel for the characters be it hatred or sympathy, love or disgust. Each and every cast member played their part extremely well be it the main leads or side characters or the antagonist.PMY's comeback was phenomenal. After facing such a turbulent time in her life for past year where many expected her career to go down the hill, she bounced back with a stellar drama and took her spot back.
For me the star of the show is "Song Ha Yoon". She absolutely nailed her role and showed off her versatility. Hell I even forgot she is the same girl from the drama "Fighting For My Way". As much as I liked her character in that drama, I did end up hating her a lot in this one. She managed to do the same what Lim Ji Yeon did in "The Glory". So kudos to her.
Lee Yi Kyung's " Gwenchana Gwenchana" ain't working in this drama what his acting sure is. Dude played the role of a sleezy asshole extremely well.
The show is a worth spending time on if you are looking for some good and satisfying revenge drama.

My new favorite Park Min Young drama!
I usually go into dramas made from other works I am familiar with expecting disappointment. In the first couple of episodes, I even complained a bit in my head because I felt the lead was too timid in comparison. However, this drama was very satisfying to watch and I do not feel like it lacks in comparison to the original work in any way.The show really hit positive marks for me all around, it is hard to find many flaws. The script was good the cast was amazing and Kang Ji Won's transformation was satisfying to watch. The ending made me smile and I do not know if I can ask for much more out of a drama. I understand all dramas are based on personal preferences and opinions but I do not see how, if you enjoy this style of drama, anyone would not at least enjoy their time with this drama.
If I had to nitpick I'd say the sound design did not have an impact on me whether the music or effects, be that either positive or negative. And I have to wonder if Kopiko is trying to become the 999 of Korean dramas. They seem to be paying for a lot of in-drama advertisements.
I would highly recommend the drama the acting and script were both top tier in my opinion and made up for whatever minor flaws the filming had. A show I believe I will rewatch multiple times in my lifetime. I give it an excellent rating.

Excelente Adaptación de Webtoon
Amé el webtoon y me encantaron todos los cambios de la adaptación en este kdrama, aunque por momentos dudamos si eran aciertos después de ver el final sabemos que lograron poner en solo 16 episodios todo lo necesario para hacer de esta historia una adicción que nos tuvo anhelando los infames lunes por tantas semanas. Extrañaremos mucho los lunes y martes de Marry My Husband, tiene todo lo que podemos desear de una historia de venganza, romance, fantasía, comedia, con un cast genialmente seleccionado, tremendas actuaciones y mucha química en todas las parejas, con mención especial para la pareja villana. 10/10Cet avis était-il utile?

Needed a RomCom Kdrama and it barely helped
OST and Production were pretty good, loved her massive fashion upgrade from shabby to "has a hot-rich boyfriend that can spoil her"/"has her own money" switch up. I felt the main leads were too calculative and manipulative (I’m pretty used to MLs and FLs fighting evil with good but this drama felt way too different and not in the best way, I was partially siding with the evil guys till the end ?). In all, the storyline was okay, justice was served on all fronts, and it had its place for cute romance too.Cet avis était-il utile?

Revenge is a dish best served cold...like the cooling plotline of Marry My Husband
If you want to watch Marry My Husband chances are that you either are a fan of one or more of the actors or you enjoy a good revenge plotline (or both!). The drama starts out very heavy with a terminal diagnosis followed by an ultimate betrayal of trust and love. Sprinkle in some time travel and the stage is set for what one hopes is a salty revenge tale full of thrown water glasses, screaming at each other in public places, and tears. Lots of tears.What you get is....some of that. And when you do get it, the drama is really good. For the first half of the drama I was very interested in Kang Ji Won's quest for revenge and her budding entaglement with Yoo Ji Hyuk. I appreciate the acting of Song Ha Yoon -- she really made me despise Jung Soo Min and her neverending craftiness. I also found the plot device of fate still having to play out (whether it plays out on Kang Ji Won or someone she knows) to be really well done and interesting as well. For the first half of the drama I found myself eagerly waiting for the next episodes to drop so I could find out what happened next in the quest for revenge.
But then the plot just...cools. I don't know of any better way to put it than the plot just cools down. I think it happens in earnest shortly after Kang Ji Won and Yoo Ji Hyuk realize they both have time traveled. The way that this is revealed (through BTS songs) was interesting, but then the pacing gets all funky. I found this change of pace to be a bit jarring - almost like a car stopping and stalling. The change in pacing threw me out of the story so much that I was no longer invested in their budding romance at all...which became the main plot point over the revenge. Some episodes there were a million things happening and other episodes weemed to drag on. I accidentally fell asleep during two of the episodes....oops. By the time BoA entered the drama portraying Oh Yoo Ra I was pretty much done with the story and ready for it to end.
By the time the drama was over I was definitely ready for it to end. Did I enjoy it? Yes, I think I did despite what I would call its flaws. Would I rewatch it? Nope.

Darker, Deeper
Marry My Husband is a show I began anticipating after learning about Park Min Young's dedication to the role. I have read the webtoon but not the novel on which this is based.Darker
Compared to webtoon the story is darker and intense. After 9th episode, whatever fluff and fun was left had been drained. The sudden genre change took time to adjust and the viewing became a chore. Upon acclimatising, the twists and turns are justified to nicely put a bow on it and give the perfect ending.
Deeper
The character development is deeper, making it easier to understand each character's actions like Yura and Sumin's. Although Yura's character comes off as unnecessary, the ending disproves it.
Not a 10
Sometimes a bit draggy to intensify the drama and the sudden genre change to melodrama makjangish vibe prevents this from making it into my favourites of 2024.
Top Notch acting
Song Ha Yoon and Lee Yi Kyung stole the show. On a side note, Park Min Young felt like a fashion goddess, " like you could wear that to work?!". Na In Woo was cute. He was different and better than his previous work Jinxed at first. Choi Gyu Ri was the best cast. Gong Min Jung was a bit stiff not sure if the character was meant to be like that. So good to see Ha Do Gwon in not a crazy-villain-role.
Music
Bad Liar and My All Dreams come true are easy on the ear. But the nod to BTS was a chef's kiss.
Marry My Husband nudges to not put up with regrets and fight on.

Song Ha yoon and LeeYi kyung both do an incredible job playing their roles as Soomin and Min hwan. You know one is a great actor when you hate the character they play with passion. Never felt any pity for them ....like EVER. I wanted them gone in a sense that I wanted Jiwon to succeed in her revenge plan but at the same time wanted them to stay cuz watching them was entertaining. There are some interesting side characters and I wished we saw more of them as I think their stories were a bit rushed such as Yang Joo ran, Mr Lee, Eun ho and Yeon hee. all in all these are the strong points that made this watch enjoyable for me but now let me talk about small issues that kept me from giving it a 10. These might sound a bit childish but I couldn't ignore them while watching.
1. Yura . I understand the point of her characters existence and her roll in the "fate" aspect of the story but god she's hard to watch . I was not enjoying the chaotic evilness she brought to the story at all. we already had strong antagonists. competing with them cant be easy but Yura is in no way an interesting character at all. she's a cliche of all stuck up, rich brats from kdramas ever. the actress doesn't help the situation eighter. She is pretty awkward on screen. Also the addition of this character gave it a Makjang feeling ( search the term if you don't know the meaning) but everything became extreme all of sudden.
2. Music. OSTs are something I normally don't pay attention to. Here they use some bts songs to reveal a plot twist ( trying to not give out spoilers ) but the way they went about it was ..... something. Cuz why they decided to play spring day and dynamite SO LOUDLY?? them talking about it was enough. Im an Army so of course I was giggling and kicking my feet but that was just weird.

This drama asks: what would you do with your life, if given a second chance to relive it? Ji Won travels back in time to do just that, after dying not from terminal cancer as she was pre-destined to do, but from an argument with her husband and her best friend about their infidelity. Ji Won uses this second chance to turn her life around, refusing to become the doormat she once was, and using the knowledge she gained from her future, to mitigate her losses and transfer them to somebody else.
It was also during this time travel that she learned about her unrequited boss’ feelings for her. It turns out that Ji Hyeok has been quietly supporting her all along despite her obliviousness.
This drama was filled with so much angst and intrigue that I relished every moment of it. I also liked the brooding Na In Woo when he shoots heart eyes at Park Min Young’s character. It is the first time I’ve seen In Woo as a main lead in a drama and he didn’t disappoint. I’ve loved Min Young since "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" so I already knew what I was expecting and she delivered.
Perhaps the only thing that prevented me from throwing a bottle at the TV is my hope that justice will be served in the end. It was frustrating to see Min Hwan and Soo Min acting so entitled and devious, as if the world owed them something and both blaming others for their misfortunes. Min Hwan’s mother is no better. I wanted to rip her hair out for treating her daughter-in-law so badly.
Despite these frustrations, “Marry My Husband” is a highly entertaining watch.

Never missed an episodes since day 1 it was aired!
Finished watching an amazing show of the year! The entire cast was perfect for their roles. Initially, I felt it was strange to see Mr. Gwenchana in a serious role, but after a few episodes, both antagonists started making my blood boil. The acting was awesome, and I want to give a special shoutout to Park Min-Young, Na In-Woo, Lee Yi-Kyung, and Song Ha-Yoon for their exceptional performances.It was seriously amazing to watch this show, and I had been waiting for new episodes since January 1st. I was dying out of curiosity to know what would happen next. This show is a MUST WATCH! It has an amazing plot that keeps you curious from start to end.

Marry My Husband estava bem mais interessante e as cenas da vingança dos primeiros episódios foram de lavar a alma. Porém, a partir do episódio 10 a qualidade dos episódios começou a cair. Os vilões quase sempre encontrando novas formas de continuar infernizando a vida dos protagonista e o pior de tudo, uma ex-noiva, saída do magma mais profundo do inferno, entra em cena para tornar tudo ainda mais enervante. Como se ter Soomi e Mihwan como antagonistas já não fosse suficiente, a Ji Won ainda teve que lidar com uma ex-noiva psicopata. As cenas de "lavagem da alma" com as vinganças foram substituídas por cenas e mais cenas de vilões tramando contra os mocinhos. Sinceramente é muito masoquismo.
Com relação a atuação dos atores. Apesar de achar o ator protagonista muito bonito (já achava isso desde Mr. Queen) aquela constante expressão de dor, acaba tirando a emoção da cena. Parecia que ele estava com dor de barriga o tempo todo, não conseguia levar a sério. Já o ator que fez o vilão, Mihwan, foi muito bem. O personagem dele é odiável, mas ainda assim é engraçado. O ator é ótimo com a comédia, então é um pouco conflitante rir com ele e ao mesmo tempo sentir raiva. Mas quando era para deixar com raiva ele atuava com perfeição. Ótimo ver que ele pode bem mais do que apenas fazer rir. E a atriz que fez a amiga da onça Soomin também deu show de atuação.
É um drama bom, porém meio arrastado a partir do episódios 10.

When Life Gives You Second Change, GRAB IT!!
I watched it mainly cuz of its REBIRTH/ TIME TRAVEL concept and cuz am a huge fan of it, Yes this can be a new thing to some people watching it, but to me, it wasn't, there are many..like over 40 short Cdramas (full version) are available on YT and other platforms, that are based on same REBIRTH concept (am calling it rebirth cuz FL dies and then travels back in time so you find these dramas labeled as rebirth Chinese dramas on YT). I LOVE THIS concept as it's very fascinating as life gives a second chance to dumb/innocent/naive FLs who ignore all red flags that their partners give in a relationship, in the name of love. They get a chance to correct their mistakes and to fight back. But some FLs still get bullied and go through shit as they are very soft-hearted..(they are hopeless). well in most of these dramas FL becomes badass and shows no mercy on people who wronged her, that's why I enjoy watching these dramas. They all have pretty much the same story, FL's boyfriend and best friend/stepsister have an affair behind her back, and later they kill FL, ML is someone who had a crush on FL but either got rejected or never expressed his feelings to her, he tries to save her but either ends up dying with her or after punishing people who killed her (su***de)cuz he cant live without her. mostly only FL travels back in time, sometimes even ML goes back in time but that's very rare. Even though the concept is the same I watched over 40 movie-length dramas cuz after traveling back in time FL has a UPPER HAND most of the time as she knows what whats gonna happen and who scheming against her, whom to trust and who not to trust. evil-doers keep worrying about FL's attitude change and they can't wrap their heads around how she knows everything and why she behaving the way she is. and that's SOO MUCH FUN!!This show had all these things that are expected but as it isn't a short story and had to make 16 long episodes they added a lot of extra but entertaining things like stories of side characters, FL's every emotion is shown clearly like how hurt she was cuz of her best friend's betrayal and they even showed how soo-min handled her family as a wife by continuing to manipulate her husband and mother-in-law. there were some WTF moments like how Min Hwan reacted when he thought Ji Won was pregnant with his child vs how he reacted when he thought Soo-Min was pregnant that difference is very bizarre. I did watch the webtoon but won't comment on it as we still dunno if they gonna show the same thing or not so I better refrain from mentioning my thoughts based on the webtoon. I hope they use better reasoning in the show though, in the last 3 episodes.
I also want to mention that they chose very talented cast members, I like the FL(actor)( watched all her shows), her foodie bestie, and her school crush. oh yeah, how can I forget the most entertaining character of all Park Min Hwan..haha he is a hilarious, Waikiki show guy right? All his roles are entertaining.
