Perfect Marriage Revenge (2023)

much better than expected. I recommend a watch

I have read marry my husband and the manhwa for this show. The manhwa is just a cheap copy of marry my husband but I must say that the drama did 10times better.

The story was not something out of the ordinary just a general plot with some not so strong villains. tbh I did not really see a villain hear and I was more curious about Yoo Ra then the main leads.

Acting and casting was amazing but I could not help but think of the fl as a damsel in distress and someone who needs protection. I could not see her as a brave and fierce fl as I has hoped.

personal thoughts aside I should say it did a great job as in drama works it is rare to see a second chance drama. The plot held out nicely and the ost was great. The plot full of unexpected twistes and turns.

and most importantly a happy ending

In the end I recommend a watch

The sizzling chemistry between the leads is cherry on cake

No Spoilers:

A broken girl meets a savior with a sad past and together they decide to take on all those who have scarred them. The highlight of the show was the chemistry between the leads.
Jung Yoo Min is made for main lead roles and she proved it in the show, while Sung Hoon charming as ever too did well.
Each and every character played their roles so well, you do end up loathing and loving them.
I was sceptical at first as the webtoon had quite many chapters and whether they will be able to get the entire story arc done in 12 eps and not rush it but they certainly hit the bullseye.

A good drama to watch after a slump

I don't usually write reviews for the dramas that I watch but I feel like I should write one for this one.

From the very first episode I was hooked. It was enjoyable and interesting. It has some aspects as like a "cinderella story retelling", except with a few more changes which are definitely more interesting than an actual retelling.

The music for the drama was picked out quite well and it fit the scenes perfectly.

The cast did an amazing job!!! Even the actors that played the villains did an incredible job based off of how much I despised them.

The main plot line was revenge, but I feel like the story slowly morphed into something even more, something quite healing for the main leads.
Overall, this is a very good drama to watch, especially if you're someone like me who has been in a drama slump for a good year or two.

Everyone gets what deserves

For me, the first TV series that Song Hoon suited very well. Maybe he has just matured with age and as an actor, but he entertained me here. Apart from him, I didn't know most of the actors. The casting for negative characters was excellent. Stepmother played her role awesome. The main female character was sympathetic. The transformation from a "gray mouse" and a poor woman to a woman seeking revenge was great. The lies, fakes, exploits, insults...etc. The concept of the accident, return in time and the fateful meeting/love was super contrived. Although, on the Big Day, I expected it to be something more to explain: the sign on the hands and why they had it. And the screenwriters were more daring with the romantic scenes. They were very beautiful.

I thought the plot was really good, but the acting wasn’t. I felt this was WAY over acted. I liked the theme song, but I thought the music throughout the drama during certain scenes, was very annoying. I felt like I was watching a soap opera from the 1970’s. I had a hard time getting through this one. It did have a lot of good plot twists, but the things I mentioned ruined it for me. Apparently other viewers don’t agree with me, because of the high rating. I would never sit through this again. Maybe my rating is too high the way I feel, but like I said, the overall plot was good. I did like the ending though.

Guilty pleasure at its best!!!

So where do I start with this one?

I would normally never praise something of this genre since I usually drop them after a few episodes in, but not this one. I binge watched the whole thing with a grin on my face.

Disclaimer: The story in itself is nothing special, if anything i would say it is so bad that it is so good!

It has all the ingredients of a regular soap opera. You have the typical female lead with a very pitiful past and an even worse present, the sad rich handsome male lead, the bad to the bone antagonists, all in all, just what you should expect from the usual tropes in a revenge story. Nothing out of the ordinary.

So, what sets this series apart from the ones of its genre?

The pace of the story (editing) and the chemistry of the whole cast. The leads are great together and you cannot help it, but cheer them on and wish them a happy ever after. The antagonists get their well deserved horrible end.

Big KUDOS to the writers, director and production team because the execution is at its best. Not one dull moment.

Overview:
Story: Crazy!!! Loads of shit happening constantly and lots of twists and turns as well, silly at times but super great.

Acting/cast: Perfect casting for this genre. I specially, love the lead actress, she is fantastic. She really grounded this character without turning it into a wimpy lead and I think that’s the main reason it worked so well.

Music: Nothing spectacular, far from memorable. However it wasn’t irritating, so I give it a pass.

Rewatch value: I wouldn't be surprised if i find myself rewatching it in the future.


Overall: This series is as crazy as addictive and satisfying as any great melodrama can be. So give it a go, you won’t regret it!!!

A K-Drama that with a splash of the past

This K-drama remind me heavily of the older melodramatic shows. It's seems as the time passes by the cliche melodramatic romances are becoming less popular. Despite that, Perfect Marriage Revenge hooks viewers from the first episode. Without dragging the drama, the show allows you to stay hooked without becoming bored.

However, I will say the show is predictable, but I think that comes with the cliche essence of it. It still is a satisfying watch and enjoyable.

Acting:
In my opinion, the acting was pretty good. My favorite performance was from Han Yoo Ra. Maybe because I liked her acting in penthouse, but she really puts her heart into these villain roles. She was my favorite in terms of performance. Some may call her acting a little over the top but it was fitting for this genre and keeps the viewer hooked.

Music:

I loved the OST sooo much. Especially the one at the ending credits. It fit the vibe of the show and sticks to your brain.

Overall, I enjoyed this drama. I would recommend this for people who want to get into k-dramas but don't want a purely romance show. It was solid and well executed.

Good

I really love that it kind of felt a bit like soap opera like Hollywood kind of drama but in a way that's really works. like it's not cliché or like super dramatic even the OST reminded me of Indian dramas. anyway, I think there's a perfect drama, like a quick drama that was a perfect mix between a good love story and a revenge story that isn't kind of annoying and super intense. It was perfect in the sense that it was light-hearted. The Leads also had perfect chemistry. They were believable as a couple. I wouldn't say it was like emotionally invested but it wasn't really taking me out of the story so that was good overall it was really a good drummer because as soon as they've finished it like even before I finished it looking for another drama that I had similar vibes to it. Before like I even finished episode 12 so like that's how I knew I really want her. Anyway the mean girl is really pretty I just had to say that. It really pains me to say this but even the step mother was really really pretty like I was just like wow she's really pretty but she was so annoying and I hated her so much and that's how you know like the actress was really good. I think overall agree characters portrayed with you and I enjoyed it a lot.

Ouvi tantos comentários elogiosos nas redes sociais sobre este drama que resolvi assistir, pois já tive boas surpresas ao assistir dramas que estão em alta (como, por exemplo, Alquimia das Almas), começar assistindo com desconfiança e no final concordar que o hype foi merecido. Mas infelizmente não foi o caso deste drama. Não funcionou para mim. Não consegui ver as qualidades apontadas pelos muitos comentários elogiosos e só continuei assistindo até o fim porque são poucos episódios e ainda esperava encontrar "essa qualidade" que tanto se comentava. A única coisa que concordo é que o orçamento do drama foi visivelmente baixo. O enredo da história é bem novelão mexicano ao estilo Maria do Bairro (não necessariamente uma crítica, dependendo do seu gosto) com vilões bem caricatos e perversos e uma mocinha ingênua, mas decidida que resolve se vingar das maldades que sofreu. Achei os protagonistas bem sem graça e não vi a química que todos alegavam ter. Os episódios de quase 60 minutos para mim foram demasiadamente longos e enfadonhos. Mas se você curte novelão dramático esse é perfeito.

Somewhat satisfying but something is missing???

overall the drama was easy to watch despite the plot of a super-abused FL but for me, Everything was predictable. Even the "mother is alive" is predictable part since it became too obvious when they showed her scar multiple times and that she was overly protective of the FL. Even the ML having feelings for her from the start is also predictable... But that bit was what I liked since in almost all dramas that I watched it was always the FL who fell first.
Also in the middle of the drama, nothing special happens, they are not fillers but they are also not special. You will get it when you watch it. Sometimes the FL contradicts herself almost all the time in the first part of the drama and maybe that is because of her trauma (I am justifying her actions :) hehehe)
Also, I need to mention, that the ML's outfits are a hit or miss. I mean he is the CEO so when you dress him in a Polo shirt then it does not give us the CEO vibe so that is a miss, however, when you take into consideration that he is the CEO of his own created company maybe he is cutting into his finances? (hehehehe) then that is a hit also, Sung Hoon still looks good in those outfits. I just wanted to mention it.
So aside from the above mentioned, it is still a watchable drama. Some may think that the chemistry between the leads is not there at all but for me, it was ok since their love story is not typical. One is for seeking revenge and the other one is for his unrequited love that he does not even fully realize. I have a big crush on Sung Hoon and (I may get hate on this from his fans but this is my own opinion) he may not be the greatest actor I have seen nor the most handsome one but there is just something about him that I need to watch his drama...

mixed feelings

i have mixed feelings about this drama. On one hand it was a rollacoaster of emotions with an amazing plot, incredible actors' performances and unimaginable plost twists but on the other side... I don't know I can't understand if I got attached to the characters or not... for some reason I feel like at the start I was very fond of them while towards the last 3-4 episodes I want forward only to see the plot unfolding cause the story was so addicting. Props to the female actresses, from the main to the villains, they all did an amazing job the acting level was phenomenal that's for sure. Overall I liked it even though I feel the last three episodes lacked of something the first ten had ..
