What type of time travel drama is Marry My Husband? How good is this Korean drama?
Marry My Husband is a time slip (Time Travel) drama.This is a story about a woman in her forties. Her husband in Marry My Husband is a real loser, a real piece of work. Her best friend is having an affair with her husband and she is dying of cancer. The heroine of the story then is killed by her husband. Right before her death, she time slips into the past, back ten years. This information is not a spoiler, because all this action takes place in the first 15 minute. (Time Slip: Having no apparent means of traveling through time).
Quote: “The living should go on living. You are going to die anyway”. Best girlfriend explaining why she cheated with her with the husband of the heroine.
Marry My Husband is a great time slip Korean Drama, which is from a web novel and serialized Webtoon by the same name. In this drama, the Time Slip (Time Travel) is not just used as a cab ride to the past. Marry My Husband is trying to observe present assumptions about time slip (time travel). Our heroine is thrust back in time. While in the past, she attempts to change small details about her future miserable life that leads to an untimely death. However, she is not succeeding at making even very small changes. Her course for the future seems fixed and doomed to repeat itself. The heroine appears to have entered the crack of a parallel universe where changes to the future is not possible. The events keep readjusting itself to preserve the original outcome to preserve the past. This eliminates paradoxes. Changes to the future is assumed only possible when entering the open time loop section of the past or the open time loop of the wormhole. When changes are made, this sets up an alternative universe in the future which is different from before (A wormhole is a shortcut through time).
Even though the heroine may not be able to change her future, she reckons that she might be able to get someone else to substitute into her misfortune. Maybe she could get someone else to marry her no good husband, before it is time for her to do so. That way she will change her own time vector, because hers is now occupied by someone else. WOW! Whether the idea follows the science or not, this unique idea tries to address what to do if you don’t fall into the correct wormhole.
This substitution concept idea of Time Slip (Time Travel) is uniquely different from any time slip (time travel) ideas which I have explored thus far. As the Korean drama Marry My Husband progresses, we will see if she is successful with the time substitution idea. I am surely good for the ride though. It is a go for me for the Korean Drama Marry My Husband. Our heroine gets a second chance at second chances.
I think that Marry My Husband is going to be a major hit.
Cast

Ravishing
Just two episodes have been aired, but I have been controlling my breath already.Ji wan has lost everything. From the love of her life to the one friend she relies over her life-she holds nothing when death claimed her. But did her story end even before starting?
This is not just another tale of revenge. An impending love triangle has been has been hidden subtly. The love Ji wan did not get all the time is coming with an unexpected bounce. The boss with a frown is here. Don't miss the chef with a sweet and adorable smile. Ji Won is not focusing into getting love as she wants to find herself first. She is not going to let anyone snatch her dream this team. She is giving hard fight to her snob boss Mr. Kim and is counting every step as her weapon.
Korean dramas are widely popular for delivering time travel dramas. From Scarlett Heart Ryeo to Mr. queen, time travel dramas are more swoon worthy than other romantic dramas. This tale of revenge is more than slice of life. JI won is not seeking revenge, she just wants to change her fate. And to turn the table she is cooking curries which she did not find out last time.
Park Min Young as Ji won is ravishing. In the beginning, she is scared and struggling to understand what she has been put through. Her enactment from portraying a scaredy girl to confident Ji Won is a wholesome journey. In Woo has improved like a dream. From delivering sad and struggling Byeong In in Mr. Queen, to playing supportive and not so silent Ji Hyuk, he has come a long way. It is sad to hear that he is enlisting now. His chemistry with Min Young is on another level.
Life would become so easy if God starts giving us second chance once in a while. Turning the table and starting off on a new note is a complete different thing. I am jealous of you Ji Won!

LOVE IT!!
This is my first time doing something like this, so I'll keep it simple (or try to ;))10/10 story:
I love the plot, and the small details hidden within it, for ex. Ji-Hyuk as a heart tattoo just like that Ji-wons dad would draw hearts on money. When the series is based on a webtoon I always expect something really good and this is delivered ( I'm even reading the webtoon lmao). I like how the webtoon resembles the K-drama a lot and that they didn't skip any part (not that I know of at least, so correct me if I'm wrong). I still have at least 6 episodes to go and I'm still interested in the plot (which is a miracle) so I think this drama deserves all the attention it gets. Also, I love Ji-Hyuk's and Ji-won's cute reveal (watch to know otherwise)
10/10 acting:
Of course, a rom-com isn't a rom-com without the rom-com queen Min Young!! I personally love her. The acting is also a 10/10 bcs of the way I raged in the first ep with Min-Hwan and Soo-Min (and throughout the whole series because of these two I swear...). They (the two actors that acted Min Hwan and Soo-Min) portrayed their hateable characters well and that's a talent.
10/10 OST:
I don't find anything bad or good in osts, I don't think it matters but in short, I don't listen or pay attention to the posts.
Rewatch Value 10/10:
I think this is rewatchable but I don't like rewatching series myself.
overall:
funny, has great acting, and gets you hooked.

Am really enjoying this so far as it is more about older adults (early 40s) going back 10 years to try and fix things whereas other drama series like: Twinkling Watermelon and A Time Called You are about adults going back to their teens to try and make changes to divert the future in some way.
Honorable mention:
Oh No! Here Comes Trouble -
This is another excellent drama series up there like TW and ATCY only it is about a teenage boy that survives a horrific bus accident with the same supernatural ability as his grandfather - no time travel in it plus it is about saving "souls" , however, it is just as fantastic!
Now back to Marry My Husband...
It is good plus each episode delivers something worth your attention - especially episode 10 which has whopper after whopper moments in it. Talk about getting what you want when it comes to revenge and cutting ties once and for all.
Am hoping this drama stays on track and doesn't digress as have been reading a few rumours as of late. No no no!
What I haven't liked in it so far is the overuse of someone liking someone else because of being smitten over something like a dog or kitten - why keep the kitten outdoors when it clearly has no shelter (at first) and also when it starts to snow?!?! It is totally cruel and makes no sense. Either take it to an animal shelter or home.
SPOILER ALERT!
I also don't like that the General Manager who is in love with Ji Won is doing nothing to save himself - when you think about it he is pretty much in the same boat as her and in order to LIVE the price is a "death for a death."
What else?
Although I don't think the female lead is attractive (plain face) she does nerdy, teen, mousy wife to a strong female really really well, however, becoming a strong woman due to a haircut or makeover is highly unlikely and especially overnight.
The female that plays her so called "best friend" does a good job of showing just how someone can be all innocent yet underneath is totally twisted and dangerous. Kind of like one character in "Beauty From Gangnam" (I think) only maybe a bit more over the top.
Am so glad I have never had a single friend like that in my life!
Anyhow, each episode is well paced, has no real unnecessary fillers and keeps you wanting more.
Well worth watching!

From okay to amazing in a few episodes
I will say that for the first few episodes I wasn’t super invested in this drama, but I’m glad I continued to watch. Everything becomes worth it around episode 5. I like that the lead isn’t too hesitant on getting back at the ones who wronged her. Male lead is adorably protecting her at all costs and the choices he makes become extremely understandable after a while. The antigonists suck and the actors do a great job showing that. The plot itself is very well connected. Can’t wait for more!Cet avis était-il utile?
Lacklustre
Oh dear - I suppose I'm in the minority when I say that I had to drop this show in disgust. Terribly underwhelming and lacklustre all around. Ironic really given the popularity of this show, but ultimately it just never managed to escape the shadow of its precursor, Perfect Marriage Revenge. Go figure!Cet avis était-il utile?
"This is undoubtedly one of the best K-dramas you'll ever watch!"
"Marriage My Husband" is an absolute masterpiece that delivers an exceptional viewing experience. The show boasts of a well-crafted plot that keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. The exceptionally talented cast brings the characters to life with their impressive performances.Some people may say that they are disappointed and want to get it over with. However, I believe that those who say that have either not watched the drama entirely or have a tasteless taste in stories.
The show is a perfect blend of great music and superb cinematography that provides a visual treat for the audience. It has everything that one could desire, including drama, revenge, love, frustration, sadness, anger, and much more. It's an adrenaline rush that will stay with you for a long time.
I strongly recommend watching this show without any spoilers, as the chemistry between the leads builds slowly and sweetly. Ji-Won's character is an inspiration for career-minded women, as she bands together with other women rather than fighting for individual recognition. The villains' characters are excellently portrayed, with moments where you can empathize with their situation and others where you want to punch them.
In conclusion, I would confidently rate this drama a solid 10000 out of 10. It's a masterpiece that deserves multiple viewings, and I'm confident that you won't regret giving it a try.

If you read the webtoon, I know your feelings...
I personally was expecting more as I have read the whole manhwa on it.The scenario at the end isn't the same as the manhwa. It is adapted so it makes sense about a little twist but I was expecting it to be same as the manhwa. A little disappointing but the series is amazing. I thought I knew the story well but there were changes. TBH webtoon was better than the drama but drama did complete few missing things from the webtoon.
The plot about the revenge , rebirth , second chance and many things about the plot is amazing.
Acting is nice. Story is nice.
Overall I give it a 4.3/5
A kdrama worth watching after a long break from it.
Until the end it kept me waiting...
It would be amazing if there is a second season highlighting a story regarding the supporting characters.

A melhor mesada que um pai poderia ter dado...
Finalmente terminei de ver esse drama que no inicio do ano todos estavam esperando. Eu acompanhei praticamente todos dos 14 primeiros episódios junto ao lançamento da amazon, mas deixei os dois últimos episódios para e depois e não me arrependo da decisão. Esse drama foi impecável do começo ao fim, acho que para algumas pessoas depois da resolução de parte da problemática da vingança nos primeiros episódios, o dorama pode se tomar um pouco enfadonho na reta final.Entretanto, o desfecho dos personagem foram perfeitos. Achei um pouco corrido, sim mas não diminui nem um pouco todo do trabalho feito nesse drama. Não tenho muito o que comentar sobre, além de que é maravilhoso.

Uma história que realmente mexeu com meus sentimentos
Uma história sobre amor e amizades. Mas não apenas sobre bom amor e boa amizade. O drama aborda com maestria, o relacionamento abusivo vivido pela protagonista Kang Ji Won, que sofre com o comportamento repugnante de seu marido. Pra quem já vivenciou esse problema, é muito triste ver como ele trata ela, mas depois a gente como é encorajador a força que ela tem pra dar a volta por cima. A história também retrata as falsas amizades, a gente pode até achar a Jung Soo Min uma descarada e ficar chocada com atitudes dela, mas infelizmente existem amizades tóxicas assim no mundo real e a gente tem que saber lidar com elas, como feito brilhantemente pela Kang Ji Won.Me fez realmente refletir sobre o que eu faria se tivesse uma segunda chance na vida.
Gostei muito dos diálogos, alguns muito bem escritos que te chocam, te empolgam e fazem você torcer pelos protagonistas e se revoltar com os antagonistas. Assisti tudo em três dias, pois o enredo realmente te prende e ficamos querendo saber logo o que vai acontecer, só desacelerou um pouco nos últimos dois episódios.

another marriage revenge drama done well!!
at first i thought its going to be exactly like perfect marriage revenge since it had almost all the same conflicts but marry my husband has done well to differentiate it from pmr. pmr was more focused on them healing from the trauma (mostly the fl) and they didn't have to change themselves much. here both our ml and fl had to learn things on their own, heal by themselves and decide how to change their destines. the characters were well developed from the 1st ep to last. the change jiwon has from the helpless naive girl to a happy and smart woman, jihyuk from a shy guy to a man who is not afraid to take chances. even the villains are well developed. sumin and minhwan are such complex villains, i could talk abt how great of a character sumin was. there is a question to ask, would u rather be a girl like jiwon(past one) or a girl like sumin when you face someone like minhwan. all the other side characters were good too. my only problem with the show is how anti-glasses they are. like be real, their glasses DID NOT make them unattractive. anyways so satisfying to see the revenge, here is to more revenge dramas

Muy débil para ser un drama de venganza
Este drama tenia excelentes villanos, excepto por Yura, probablemente si hubieran elegido a una mejor actriz, no me hubiera quejado tanto, pero que mala interpretación de Boa. Sobre la protagonista creo que fue demasiado dócil a pesar de todo lo que le hicieron, por eso la actuación de Park Min-young quedo opacado y no porque ella sea mala actriz, sino que el personaje era bastante débil. Y sobre el protagonista, vi que muchos se quejaron por la elección del actor, pero a mi me encantan esos personajes green flag y él fue un verdadero encanto.Cet avis était-il utile?
