Marry My Husband (2024)

started watching this cuz I love me some second chance / revenge stories and I'm happy that I did. The story flows steadily as we get to see our FL find strength and allies while the antagonists get closer and closer to their doom. Revenge doesn't happen over night and its entertaining to watch Jiwon use her knowledge from future to lure Soomin and Min hwan to get her past fate.
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.

I normally don’t like to watch revenge dramas, but after “The Glory”, I became less reluctant to watch this sub-genre. I don’t like time-travelling shows either, unless it is done well. So I went into this drama with not much expectation, except I haven’t seen Min Young since “Her Private Life”, so I thought I should give this a chance, and boy, I’m glad I did.

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.

Marry My Husband começou muito bem. Apesar de eu estar preparada preparada para não gostar, pois a premissa lembrava muito o drama "Perfect Marriage Revenge", drama que não curti tanto. Mas fui surpreendida positivamente nos primeiro episódios.

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.

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
Multiple Baeksang Arts Award winner Park Min-young (Marriage in Contract), Na In Woo (River Where the Moon Rises), and Lee Yi-kyung (Welcome to Waikiki).

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.

04/02/2024 (Feb).

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!

"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.
