Perfect Marriage Revenge (2023)

Dramatic in the way that webtoons always are

The premise of this show is interesting: mistreated girl gets a second chance at life and revenge. Even if I hadn’t already found out this was based on a webtoon, I would’ve figured it out eventually. The plot twists and hard to believe coincidences would’ve spelled it out for me.

The acting is pretty good. There are a few points where the adoptive mother and daughter dipped into melodrama. There were also a few times where people just behaved strangely like slapping others or throwing drinks which felt more like children throwing tantrums more than adult behavior.

There were a ton of plot points that were just impossible to believe. Also many points where the bad guys used the press to villainize others and I couldn’t understand why the public opinion was so nonsensical. Also, there were some pretty dramatic accusations and a general lack of reaction to them. So, I’m a little confused at the directional choices.

Also, the end of the revenge plot was a little anticlimactic in my opinion. I just wanted it to hit a little bit harder.

Simply put, this is a melodramatic soapy show and if you like revenge shows, you’ll probably get something out of it. If you’re expecting something closer to Penthouse or The Glory where the plot seemed a lot more intricately planned (at least, s1 &2 of Penthouse), you’re going to be a little disappointed. However, it’s the best Viki original I’ve seen thus far.

Boring

I found this drama really boring and uninspiring. Things keep on happening all the time, new drama and new revelations, but theres no substance to them or the reactions that follow because its so constant that it leaves no breathing room for getting to know the characters. I have seen some people praising this aspect of the drama because it cuts out the fluff, but theres really no reason to root for anyone in this drama without the fluff or buildup.

Besides that, the acting is just not good. I would say two people, thankfully including the fl, Jung Yoo Min does a good job acting-wise. Almost everyone else either overacts (Its supposed to be dramatic, I know, but it was too much even then) or underacts and speak like they are just straight up reading off the script with 0 conviction.

Overall, not a good watch, would not recommend it.

fabulous drama

This is one of the best Dramas I have watched this year. The Story was fabuous. I am not into Revenge Dramas but I am so glad I watched this one. The firste Episode was enough to hook me. Great Story Wonderful actors and really satisfying outcome. The Male lead is still excellent and gorgeous. The female lead was truly amazing. Overall I recommend this . 12 Episodes was plenty. I cannot for the life of me understand why any one would take the time to leave a nasty Review. It spoils it for others and demeans the effort made by everyone involved in the process. So if you don't ike something don't waste your time spoiling it for everyone else. Keep quiet. No one cares .

Assista e tire suas conclusões.

Eu comecei esse dorama quando tava lançando mas os primeiros episódios eu achei tão chato que dropei, essa semana comecei dnv pulando os episódios que tinha assistido. Assim, talvez por que eu leio muito webtoon eu achei tudo a mesma coisa , mesmo enredo meio arrastado em algumas partes... Os episódios finais eu achei meio "meh" pra falar a verdade. Em geral, acho que você tem de assistir pra saber se é do seu gosto ou não. Não é um dorama ruim só sinto que falta alguma coisa. Dou 8.0/10.0, não acho que é um dorama que reassistirei, talvez daqui a alguns anos eu dê uma nova chance e mude de perspectiva sobre este drama.

WATCH IT OR NOT?!!?

mhmm I'll keep it short.

This short MAKJANG was actually quite entertaining and extremely surprising at times lol. The main theme here was definetly revenge and done correctly. Considering it was my first makjang experience that I can think of it was definitely a 10/10 in that sense.

I thought it was gonna have a sad ending or something boring or they are just gonna leave a cliffhanger but the ending was actually quite appropriate and fitting.

This was definitely a good drama and worth binging if you got time as each and every episode was great and had quite a few plot twists, I knew it was gonna be over the top being a makjang was so it was totally fine and made it quite entertaining and even funny at times.

I would recommend this for sure for people looking for a good drama to watch quickly and the romance in this was more of in little bursts and it was more plot orientated on the "Cinderella gone rouge" aspect.

Well that's it for this short review, hope it was helpful.

Awesome ?

Firstly I would like to apologize to whoever is reading this I know this is way to long. the system was letting me submit until I reached the word let so 😞.(I hope you read it till the end). THANK YOU! 😊

I absolutely adored this drama! It not only entertained me, but it also allowed me to relive cherished memories from the past. The manga that inspired this drama was truly remarkable, and I couldn't help but dive into its pages. It served as a beautiful reminder of bygone days. The performances of the female and male leads were nothing short of extraordinary. Their acting provess truly shone through, capturing the essence of their characters with such authenticity and depth. It was a delight to witness their talent unfold on the screen, leaving me in awe of their abilities. I understand that this message might not reach many people, but I cannot stress enough how highly I recommend this drama. It resonated with me on a profound level, offering solace and strength during even the most difficult times. The story's portrayal of familial challenges, where one's own family becomes an adversary, struck a chord within me. It reminded me that, no matter the circumstances, one can find the courage to persevere.If you're looking for a captivating drama that will touch your heart and leave a lasting impression, this is it. Trust me, it's worth every minute of your time. And for those who are interested, I'm more than happy to share the name of the manga. Just leave a reply, and I'll gladly provide it to you. I sincerely hope that you will enjoy this drama as much as I did. It has the power to uplift and inspire, reminding us of the strength we possess even in the face of adversity. So, grab some popcorn, sit back, and embark on this incredible journey. And remember, if you're interested in exploring the manga that inspired it all, just let me know. Happy viewing!

Great Revenge Romance Drama

Perfect Marriage
Revenge 📺:Viki

Melodrama, Time Traveling, Romance, Revenge

As a reader of the webtoon, I am very happy with this adaptation.

PROS:

◇The writing
◇The pacing, no filler episodes, and there was always something happening.
◇The changes made from the webtoon/ manhwa.
◇The intro and outro song.
(Meangingless by Collie & Halo by Yerim Sohn)


CONS:

◇The budget was low, but the whole product felt like an early 2000s Meolodrama (soap opera). So maybe it's not really a con.

◇I wish we would see more of the relationship of the leads in the 2nd half. I did read the webtoon, so this didn't bother me as much.

Webtoon makjang done right

TL;DR - a 120 episode makjang drama condensed into 12 episodes done right. A much better version compared to the webtoon that has more depth and is overall, a fun watch that hits both dramatic and romantic moments that you expect from a Cinderella revenge story plot.

I'm currently nearing the end of reading the webtoon version but can already say that this live action drama version, in my opinion, is much more enjoyable and digestible. The flow, script, and depth in this is much smoother and the actors do a great job enhancing their characters and making this story with its exaggerated characters from the webtoon, believable. The balance between the cute comedic moments to cheering for the FL during her revenge was so well done; it really made me hooked from the first episode without prior knowledge of the webtoon/plot.

A Cinderella revenge story that's entertaining, fleshed out, and easily watchable. FL in my opinion did a great job and was another reason I was hooked from the beginning. I've watched her since her daily 120 episode drama days and was glad to see her play a non-evil main lead. She really has improved over the years and this drama really showed her charms. The veteran actors and younger cast had great chemistry.

A watch that goes as you expect it to, cheesy flaws and all, but is still entertaining and well converted from its original format that gets you hooked from the start.

okay

"Okay, so let's talk about 'Perfect Marriage Revenge' - it's like this high budget soap opera that you stumble upon, you know? The show's kinda hanging in there with an okay storyline, but let's be real, it's not winning any awards for quality. The acting is all over the place, but hey, it's what's keeping this ship from sinking completely. You've got your classic soap opera drama, the kind that's so over-the-top it's almost charming. But here's the kicker - there's this villain that's just, ugh, the worst. Like, you can't help but hate her guts, and her daughter? She's doing her best like she does petty things here and there , but honestly, she's just holding the crazy mom back. It's a wild ride, not gonna lie. If you're into high-budget melodrama and can forgive a bit of acting inconsistency, 'Perfect Marriage Revenge' might for you and i welcome to the team

Bad Adaptation and Acting

If I hadn't read the webtoon, I wouldn't have even considered watching this drama. Not familiar with the female ML and the male ML always plays the same type of roles. The story doesn't follow the webtoon at all. Not only are things in different order, but they changed a lot. For example, the secretary also went back in time and died on the same day as the MLs, but that was never mentioned. Furthermore, his dad actually died...The webtoon also doesn't mention anything about art forgeries.
I liked Ji Hee (Yura) in Penthouse and in older dramas where she had child roles, but she's just not suitable for the character of Yura. The high heels don't make her look older and her character just feels forced.

I'm really not sure how this drama has such a high rating...not recommended.
