Marry My Husband (2024)

The beginning of this drama was great. It was very engaging and together with the characters we discovered what had happened. I was curious what Ji Won had to do to change her life and how she would achieve it. However, around episode 10/11 it became predictable. I didn't have as much fun watching this drama as I did at the beginning. That's why I stopped watching it several times and then came back to it. But don't get me wrong, this drama is really good. With top actors, great OST and plot. After episode 11, there was simply an element missing that would completely absorb me.


I don't think Yura's appearance was a bad idea. It added to the plot and ultimately made sense.

Revenge that takes 4 extra episodes long to be served

A revenge drama that truly serves the revenge on the platter from episode 1.

Marry my husband drama is good 10.5 episodes of perfect adaptation of web novel, 85% novel + 15% originality, then plot plot quickly turns original with it comes too many inconsistencies that can't be ignored, as if writers have ran out of ideas to fill in rest of the episodes. Even director's take cannot salvage the damage done by writers of the show. They could have simply put some time into existing character development rather than introducing new character just to make villains upper hand.

It may not be the best drama out there but had good start 1-6 episodes gives you feel of freshness, 7 - 10.5 episodes you would feel the quality is dropping but pivotal revenge moments pays off . Then comes the dread of 11-15 episodes which i believe can fast forward most of the scenes except the main leads.

Acting department song ha yoon n lee yi kyung brings there best games both of them invokes anger and aggression inside you; Park min young is good too, the weakest is Bae Geu Rin - she is miscast for the role and it is apparent from the moment she is introduced. Na In Woo is okay, rest out cast are good.

Definitely a one time watch, will i recommend it - if you have nothing to watch and want to off your brain or have craving for second chance at life kinda drama.

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!

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.
