Marry My Husband (2024)

How April 12, 2023 is completely different now.

So, the writer of this review is a person who has a lot of free time, who has read both webnovel and webtoon, so I would like to say that despite knowing every part and twist, it has not bored me at any point. I can say that this was a very good adaptation of the webnovel.

The things I want to highlight about the drama-
1. DIRECTION AND SCRIPT WRITING:
+These two things are the main pillars of any series. As the novel has 188 chapters but the writer has covered it very well in 16 episodes.
+And the director's direction is commendable in the behind the scene, he is so clear about his vision that this scene will be like this or that...

2.CASTING:
+Starting with Kang Jiwon, Park Minyoung gave her 100% to the character, She played both sides, On one side a helpless woman and on the other side you can see a woman who can fight back till the end you can see her character growing till the end. You can say this is her comeback series.

+Now Yoo Jihyuk, if you watched 2D1N then you would know that both Na In Woo and Yoo Ji Hyuk are very different from each other, the way he maintained a plain face was quite nice. And his heavy voice adds a different charm to Yoo Ji Hyuk's character.

+Park Minhwan, till now many people knew him as Gwenchana but not anymore, now Merry Me is also in the race, Joke's aside but Lee Yi Kyung has played Minhwan very well, especially in Episode 14, In the series he played both funny and scary sides and portrayed them very well

+Jeong Sumin, you could say this series couldn't exist without her, if you hate her it means she played her role as an actor perfectly, Song Hae Yoon the way she perfectly portrayed the manipulative, ignorant, obsessive, jealous and crazy sides of Sumin through the entire drama truly deserves an award.

+Whenever Yoo Hee Yeon appeared on screen, she brought a different vibe. It felt as if Choi Gyuri was living the character.

+Baek Eun Ho, even though he got less screen time, he did not disappoint, even though the screen time was less, the chemistry between Choi Gyu Ri and Lee Gi Kwang was very good, one who talks a lot and the other who listen her, they portrayed it very well.

+Yang Joo Ran And Lee Suk Joon Both are the mature character in the drama, and done it very well. Mr. Lee nagging made his character a little different and enjoyable, or should i say Ms. Yang changed him...

+And finally, Our precious gem Kim Kyung Wook, his parts makes the shot perfect. You will get angry at this character, but as much as this character makes you angry, it also makes you laugh and sometimes even feel pity for him. But no matter what you say, he was the only person who is always there for Sumin.
=All the supporting actors did a great job but I can't highlight them too much otherwise there are chances of a lot of spoilers.

3.SOUND DESIGN AND MUSIC:
+The sound design of the drama is very good which enhances the intensity of the scene, And the 5 soundtrack makes the drama beautiful...

4.NEGATIVE POINT:
+ Sometimes it feels like everything is happening a little hurriedly.
+Several still cuts were released but later that parts cut from the drama.

In the end I would like to say that this show will keep you engaged from the beginning, Yes sometimes you might feel that why makers are diverting to new characters there is no point but everything happens for a reason, And the ending has been executed very well, which is very rare to be in the revenge drama.

JIWON AND JIHYUK BOTH LOST THEIR FIRST CHANCE BUT LIFE GAVE THEM ANOTHER CHANCE AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER, AND BECAME EACHOTHERS SOLID LAND.......

This series joined my favorites list!

Wow! Now this is a high quality drama, with a perfect beginning, development and ending! "MARRY MY HUSBAND" is a charming and engaging series... I believe it is one of the best Korean productions ever seen. Well-crafted plot, cast, soundtrack, performances and FORMIDABLE characters! The narrative is so good that it encourages us to watch the next episodes. I believe it enchanted not only fans of romantic dramas, but also specialized critics... DEAR, THE OSCAR IS YOURS! 🏆🥇😍 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Oh! I couldn't forget her.: All my admiration and a round of applause for actress Park Min-young, not only for her formidable performances, but for having TWO, yes, two perfect wedding ceremonies, with TWO fabulous actors (the first with Park Seo-joon in "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?" and the second with Na In-woo in "Marry My Husband".

No quería comparar pero ...

Este drama tiene todo lo que le faltó a Perfect marriage revenge.
No es que Perfect marriage revenge este mal, sino que le faltó corazón, le faltó ese algo que Marry my husband logra perfectamente y es engancharte desde el inicio, no te aburres para nada, quieres que los episodios duren más porque está tan bien logrado todo que te metes en la historia y quieres que todo le salga bien a la prota, te enojas y sufres con ella, pero tambien te alegras en los momentos de felicidad; con esa segunda oportunidad quieres verlos felices y que a los desgraciados que le hicieron la vida imposible quieres ver que les pase lo peor, y creo que todo eso se logró tambien por las excelentes actuaciones de todo el elenco. Cada uno supo llevar su papel, que maravilla.

•Me encantaron los personajes principales y los secundarios.

•Y también salí super fatisfecha con el final. Hacía mucho tiempo no veía un final tan bueno, se tomaron su tiempo y no se ve todo a las prisas como pasa en la mayoria de dramas.

Idk

Idk what i was expecting from this movie but it was surprisingly better than i expected.
Although the first 2 episodes were a little bit confusing but it all came through understanding.
The acting was marvelous. But this i was really expecting from Park Min Young since she is one of my favourites female korean actors. I loved Na In Woo masculinity and his acting. But the most i loved it was that in had a really good ending with all.
The ending was ''patiently'' ended instead of quickly thrown away.
Overall i think is really worth watching it because it holds up the interest and in has no boring episodes.

I wanted to like it but unfortunately, it is a miss for me...

I like the premise of the series: a revenge storyline with a travel back to time to make things better is a set up I find particularly enjoyable. Overall, it is the revenge part of the drama that I liked the most, with all the manipulation of the villains. However, the romance could have been better.

I also feel that the pace was not good. There were too much storylines that I did not care at all about. It could have been much tighter with less episodes. I would have liked less office-heavy storylines. The ending felt dragging with a lot of repetition. I know that the script is doing a mirror between some situations and put in parallel past events, but I would have preferred the story to really be more tight. There were some entertaining moments when the heroine is super badass but it is in between a lot of filler, even more so towards the end.

I have mixed feelings regarding the cast performance. I think Lee Yi Kyung and Song Ha Yoon had the best performances in the drama but their characters were also the most interesting (and with potentially as much screen time than the main leads). Sadly, I never got onboard on the main romance. I found Nam In Woo a bit too stern and bland in the role, lacking emotions...He has some swoony lines but I did not feel it. Not sure if it is the script, a directing choice, or simply the acting. I usually like Park Min Young and here she had some badass and emotional moments, but on the chemistry side for the romance, it also felt lacking. Other than them, the support cast did an okay job but no side characters felt really interesting to me.

Regarding production, I did find it pretty standard for nowadays South Korean dramas. I did not find any scenes particularly striking and the OST is for me forgettable as well. I also must acknowledge an obvious challenge in the directing / filming of the interactions between the leads. Na In Woo and Park Min Young huge height difference, which I found cute, did prevent sometimes camera work to film them on the same frame (and when it was the case, I felt it was a bit strange at point).

I would not recommend this to people as at the end it took me so much time to complete it because of the draggy pacing. There are for sure some elements of the story I found exciting regarding the overall revenge plot but the romance did not really work for me unfortunately. I'm left to ponder if I would have enjoyed more the series if it had been shorter (and therefore with less repetition on the storylines and the office/corporation hijinks).

When life gives you a second chance, grab it and own it

Marry My Husband centers around an ill woman who receives the final blow when she learns her bestie and husband are having an affair. She dies soon after, but is given a second chance at life.

Marry My Husband makes it easy to fall in love with protagonist Kang Ji-won – and that’s already half the battle won for this K-drama. Park Min-young effortlessly portrays her as smart and kind, though not in a superficial way, but a little too naive and trusting. Yet, she’s learning from her past (or, in this case, future) mistakes and evolving as a person. Thankfully, it’s a gradual process that allows the audience space to root for Ji-won as the show progresses, while acknowledging that she can’t possibly handle it all on her own.

To that end, Ji-won is surrounded by a cast of equally charming, if fairly one-dimensional, characters. There’s her bubbly co-worker Yu Hee-yeon (Choi Gyu-ri), who gives Ji-won a makeover, well-meaning but meek assistant manager Yang Joo-ran (Gong Min-jung) and her stoic but secretly soft-hearted boss and love interest Yu Ji-hyuk (Na In-woo). They are as tropey and archetypal as K-drama characters come, but in a way that’s also their job, to not detract from who we’re all here for: Kang Ji-won. It may not be the most groundbreaking of shows, but that’s not what it’s trying to be either. This Korean drama knows it’s a guilty pleasure through and through, and embraces that wholeheartedly. There is something immensely satisfying about seeing a carefully drawn-out, deliciously manipulative revenge plan slowly but steadily unfold onscreen. It satisfies by giving the audience exactly what they want by letting Ji-won get her payback, with a handful of unexpected twists that are just enough to keep viewers running back for more.

My Rating : 8.4/10

So. Much. Fun!

This drama started airing on the first day of the year and it began with a bang. The story and sequence of events were gripping and held my rapt attention for weeks. I enjoyed the ride so much but my experience dipped towards the end. I imagine that having to wait between episodes contributed to that. But overall, an incredible showcase of acting skills. The four lead actors were spectacular - their characters are unforgettable. I loved the fact that our ML, Yu Ji-Hyuk is not the typical good-two-shoes 'green flag' love interest with no discernible flaws. He is generous and attentive but he can also be ruthless, and he doesn't shy away from that fact. And the 'master villain'? I have to give her a shout - she had me worried sick. A truly terrifying character portrayed excellently well.

GRACIAS POR TANTO, PERDÓN POR LO POCO.

Desde su anuncio la tuve en la mira, pero mi despite me llevo a ignorarla hasta que termino su transmisión. Sin duda, lo agradezco porque me hubiera desesperado esperando nuevos capítulos todas las semanas.

Me duele no darle las cinco estrellas, pero no puedo dejar de lado el poco desarrollo que reciben las parejas secundarias (hablando sobre todo de Eunho y Heeyeon), que uno de los personajes más nefasto no recibió un castigo digno y que la aparición de Yura me pareció DEMASIADO. Siguiendo las reglas del universo, alguien tenía que morir para que Jihyuk siguiera con vida, pero fácilmente podían hacerlo sin agregar a una prometida secreta que solo se menciona UNA SOLA VEZ en todo el drama antes de su aparición.

La pareja principal es prácticamente perfecta, tanto en desarrollo como su relación. La química de los actores es perfecta y no se siente apresurado ni repetitivo. Ni hablar de los antagonistas, tan despreciables que solo esperas a ver que pueden hacer después para superarse y verlos sufrir, es casi satisfactorio. Un drama romántico que sale de lo convencional. Tiene varios giros que te toman por sorpresa y te mantiene atento para darle play al siguiente capítulo. Eso sí, no es para dominguear, ya que se llevará bastante tiempo de tu día si tu plan es verla de corrido.

En conclusión, que envidia te tengo si es tu primera vez viendo este drama. Agarrate de tu silla porque te puedes ir para atras.

great plot, mid execution

thanks to this drama i realized i don't like to binge revenge dramas, and that i prefer to watch them as they air.

park minyoung is one of my favorite actreess and i loved watching a drama that styled her her age. her performance was immaculate and really helped you feel her pain.
jeong sumin became one of my favorite villians and i really wish the second half of the revenge was focused on her, as i feel she had potential to do a lot of damage. she had so much potential, i really wish we had gotten a change to see her thrive because oh yara opaqued her.

overall a great drama. i wish the production team had done better to bring it to life in terms of plot and pacing.

ps: i loved the bts nod here! finding out you're not the only one in the past because of a bts song was neat.
