Perfect Marriage Revenge (2023)

You will love to hate this? ;)

Actually no, you won’t hate this. :) It’s like the old-style kind of Kdramas, the kind I used to make fun of years ago lol.. It is quite additive watching this, so my suggestion is to binge- watch!

The storyline is pretty cliche, a typical revenge drama with a time travel twist. You have the evil stepmother and stepsister, and you will love to hate them. Somewhere in the middle your blood will start to boil watching each episode, but not to worry the good guys always win.

The chemistry between the main leads are pretty decent, and there is one really good kiss/ bed scene ;);) it’s a happy ending as well. So have a go at this and enjoy it :)

Revenge that was served, not quite so perfectly

The show really leaned into the FL’s “family” being trash - forced confinement, poisonings, murder for hire, verbal abuse etc. At times it was completely over the top as was the way in which the FL ended up being raised by them. Though this is a fictitious story, it was hard to suspend disbelief surrounding how she ended up in that household due to the extreme contrivances and coincidences.

Many of the characters in this were as dumb as a box of rocks. The FL was pretty dense to start, but thankfully she wised up after literally getting a new lease on life. But her ex fiancé was probably one of the stupidest characters I’ve seen in a while. He repeatedly made incredibly imbecilic decisions and was just…argh. It didn’t help that the actor in the role wasn’t that good. He only had two facial expressions, mindless stare into nothingness or mouth hanging open with a painful frown which I guess was supposed to convey shock and horror. He was awful.

The FL’s father was not only a horrible person, but he was pretty dense too considering he couldn’t see that his wife was a sociopath despite her repeatedly deceitful and abusive behaviors. The ML’s half brother also wasn’t the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but in hindsight I found nothing about that character made any sense. He was in the story purely for plot.

The revenge plot was okay, but I’ve seen better. The setup and execution lacked punch because the audience was oftentimes completely in the dark about what the FL was planning to do and the story didn’t build. It just moved along at an even pace. As a result, when the villains were finally taken down it was anti-climatic. Moreover, after everything the FL went through, I didn’t think it was realistic that she’d ever forgive her father. He allowed her to be abused in his household for years and did nothing about it. In the end, he didn’t deserve to be in her life or to walk away virtually unscathed.

The love story was a little ridiculous, but what else is new. The ML fell in love with a painting by the FL. Watched her from afar which led to him falling deeply in love with her. It can’t get anymore preposterous than this. But…the leads had really good chemistry, which made me a believer in their love. I would’ve liked to have seen more push/pull in their relationship before they got together. More close moments in the house they shared and a little more to their “honeymoon” would’ve been nice too. Though the revenge plot was lackluster I will admit I had a good laugh when the dumb ex boyfriend marriage plans got ruined when the FL’s stepsister showed up on his doorstep 9 months pregnant, declaring him as the baby’s father. He fought so hard and did so many utterly dumb and despicable things to please her and be with her. He finally got the spoiled insufferable brat just when he thought he’d moved on from her to greener pastures. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person.

Overall, this was entertaining enough to see it through to the end, but it wasn’t as well executed as it could’ve been.

Should have dropped this after 2 episodes

Sorry for the fans, I finished this because the reviews were so great, but it felt like forever to go through only 12 Ep, and I still do not get the enthousiasm...
From my point of view, every character is one dimension, their relationship not even remotely believable, the scenario and dialogues are almost always so un-interesting that they have to go for the most over-the-top twist to hide that their storyline is actually quite thin with tons of plot holes...
If you are interested in revenge or time-travel stories, there are certainly much better dramas available... All in all, drama is a good candidate for the worst drama I have ever seen.

Revenge drama turned into soap opera

Another drama with a very strong start. At first I was hesitant whether the FL would be able to go from sweet to a strong lead to get her revenge but glad she did quite well.

The chemistry between was good but their screentime decreased and whenever they were shown they just talked about how they are there for each other and nothing more. Here I would say it was because the antagonists got a lot of screentime.

Its a very typical typical k-drama... like they were slapping each other and throwing drinks and all. The male lead`s family was something like I would expect to watch in a drama aired before 2015. And the female lead`s family simply came out of Cinderella`s story.

To be honest the revenge wasn`t satisfying at all and if you are following k-dramas from quite sometime I think you`ll be able to foresee almost all the twists.

Overall its better to watch the drama keeping in mind that its actually more like a melodrama rather than a revenge drama.

Um dorama muito hypado mas que não é tudo isso

Sinceramente, eu dropei porque não conseguia ligar pra mais nada do que acontecia. Tem muitas reviravoltas ao mesmo tempo e é muito difícil de se apegar aos personagens considerando que não se tem tempo pra isso. O ritmo também é muito rápido, quase anticlimático, pois não se tem tempo de construir uma tensão. Coisas ruins acontecem, e logo em seguida se tem uma retribuição. Com relação a isso, apenas os dois primeiros episódios fazem um bom trabalho nesse quesito.
Eu li alguns capítulos da webtoon, então já tinha pegado alguns spoilers e sinceramente... A história não me cativou nem um pouco.
É um drama ruim? Não, mas também não é tudo isso. É mediano, nada surpreendente. A trama também é extremamente previsível.
O primeiro episódio é tão bobo que parecia uma produção de baixo orçamento. Talvez o formato da história funcione pra uma webtoon, mas pra uma série fica extremamente caricato. Você não consegue sentir uma profundidade real nos personagens, o que torna muito difícil de se torcer por eles.
O casal principal tem uma boa química, mas o plot é mais focado na vingança, deixando eles de lado em certo ponto.
Enfim... Dropei porque já não ligava mais.

Good Enough

Korean Drama '' Perfect Marriage Revenge '' is a fantasy melodrama with a nice start.

The drama indeed starts off strongly, with the makjang vibes really rocking it, as the main female lead was being bitten down again and again by her evil adopted mother and her daughter. The love story that started to bloom was quite interesting as well.

And sure, there were some really idiotic things happening to the characters, but the melodrama allowed the story to be excused from them. The ending, however, and the episodes towards it, were all something that the makjang genre didn't support. The drama started focusing more on the romance, hence, it didn't have enough time to wrap up nicely the rest of the storylines. And, the fantasy element that was used in the first episodes and was forgotten in the middle ones, was brought out again, and wasn't handled smoothly, rather, it was quite rushedly concluded.

So, overall, four out of ten.

This was a wish fulfillment drama.

The story isn't all that compelling and it sure as hell isn't anything you haven't seen before EXCEPT for the fact that we came out the dugout winning and continued to. It was refreshing and entertaining to see our leads (especially our FL) fight back with as much venom as was thrown her way and not fail at every turn.

and after all the suffering that we've put ourselves through watching almost every FL get treated like a floor rag and being magnanimous in return, this drama provided us with the opportunity to watch and cheer one on as she got her pound of flesh back with impunity.

but even that lost its allure after a while and the feeling of satisfaction wasn't enough to carry such a basic script and subpar acting

(also, i truly believe that all the wardrobe funding went to the sister cause what were those outfits that man was in. he was dressed like someone's grandpa half the time and I 100% believe he'd never seen the inside of a fitting room)

The concept was very simplistic and has been done before, but the script writer was given simple tasty ingredients and managed to flesh out a script that avoided to many cliches, and stuck with the simple straightforward theme. The script avoided the biggest mistake that plagues a lot of writers, trying to put an overly realistic spin on the story and trying to be different. The classic are that for a reason nothing wrong with “tried, true and tested”.

The director did a good job of staying out off his own way and let the story flow naturally.

The actors overall did a nice job and avoided overacting which generally plagues Makjangs, making this one of the few off this genre I can watch.

Sets where okay, no great emphasis on production value, the wardrobe was good with minimal emphasis on costume design, everyone’s wardrobe reflected their character, which showed that thought and planning went into them.
The product placement was not over the top and intrusive like you see a lot of the time.

Pacing was good and crisp, no lagging.

1st and 2nd act were smooth like freshly churned butter in french country side boulangerie. And thank goodness there were not crazy breakups in the 3rd and we got revenge served with a great heaping helping off the warm and fuzzies.

I’ve rewatched twice already, enough said.

NOT WORTH THE HYPE but watch and decide for yourself

Personally, I hated this drama. It came HIGHLY recommended to me and it fell so very flat and flopped so hard. Everyone was praising it like it was the best drama of 2023. Really?????? Not by a long shot when dramas like Destined with you, My Demon, Welcome to Samaldri, See you in my 19th life, Twinkling Watermelon etc exist.

Not going to lie, I watched this drama and I was hooked by the pilot episode. Despite usually avoiding Sung Hoon's dramas like the plague (MR ONE EXPRESSION), I really did like the main female lead and was willing to give the show a go. I feel like the first few episodes were semi-ok and piqued my interest but the acting of the Stepmother was so OVERDONE and CRINGE even for a makjang drama and then every single episode was torture to finish. Thankfully the drama is short so I pushed through it. The chemistry of the leads kept me going where the storyline was boring and predictable etc.

I guess I couldn't take the drama all that serious when they essentially did CONTROL COPY AND PASTE to the entire Love Ft Marriage Divorce cast into this drama. Seriously it was a joke.

It's a drama that I will never rewatch but it wasn't the worst kdrama that I've ever seen either. I just get really mad with people praising it like it was the bes thing ever. Watch and decide for yourself.

It could have been better

The drama starts out with a positive light and I got hooked at first, but after the first few episodes, I got disappointed with the storylines direction.

The drama was supposed to be based on the FL lead's revenge journey towards her family but it was not a satisfactory in my opinion.

The payback was a little too lenient for my taste, I expected more due to the fact that her mother, sister and husbands family were all mean to her and took advantage of her gentle personality.

After she was given a second chance her character didn't seem fired up to bring down the people who had wronged her in her previous life.

The paintings were nice and looked realistic, the ML's mother was nice but I didn't like the ML's wardrobe, his clothes were very baggy and made him look funny.

The accident that happened between the ML and his brother was not fully explored, his trauma was not covered in an understanding way.

The ending seemed a bit rushed but the leads looked adorable.

I just finished watching Perfect Marriage Revenge some hours ago and i will say it is really good. When this kdrama was ongoing, i decided not to watch and wait for all the episodes. After all the episodes were out, i was always procrastinating and finally, I've being able to watch. These are my reviews;
1. The drama is really good and i understood the hype of it when it was ongoing.
2. All the characters were perfect for their role. I've known sunghoon for while now but haven't seen his series yet until now and i will say it was worth it.
3. My little problem was that i expected a more intense revenge like that of 'The Glory' but the revenge here wasn't like revenge but a karma rather. The ending for all the villians were okay but not okay.
Thus, i will rewatch perfect marriage revenge but in 10 years time.
Also, i think the FL had her revenge so easy. She had a lot of people on her side when she did nothing. Anyway, GOOD JOB.

A second chance

It was a story about the girl who always ill treated by her family. One day limit had exceeded when she came to know her husband was cheating her and she can't handled this . And then she met an accident ,that accident gave her second chance to ae the think correct but she never understand the date which had been mentioned on her hand . Even I had also not understand what that mean . Once again she met an accident that vanish the date from her hand and she thought that the date had disappeared so might be everything would be all aright.
Everything was nice in drama ,except I didn't get the logic of date.
Actors were good.
