Perfect Marriage Revenge

I would classify this as "Kdrama - Melrose Place Style." It moves pretty quickly. It's not filled overly cliched Kdramas scenes (umbrella rescue, brushing teeth together, adults kissing with their eyes wide open.

The plot is straight forward with lots twists. Some predictable, some not.

The acting was a little eh in places but the FL did wonderful in her switch up. Sung Hoons voice sometimes is a little too deep so his lines come out like a Broadway performer but he's still pretty!

I'd absolutely recommend this if you want a more American night time soap feeling show versus a typical makjang.

Yes, It's a low-budget drama , but it has a lot of unique things, nowadays drama doesn't have. The simplicity, the excellente chemistry, the no exaggerated acting, and most importantly the warmth vibe.

To be more specific, I'm talking about the ML and FL. The others were so annoying except the ML's mother and grandmother ^^

Lastly I had a crush on Sung hoon during "My Secret Romance" and Idk why, but he disappeared suddenly, till now I heard about this drama and I renewed my love for him, I really want to see him more, his natural /warm acting and charming appearance should not get wasted.

Btw: Why do I always end up liking the less popular actors with beautiful talent, but zero luck? This man right here (sung hoon) has a huge potential but unfortunately misguided. He need to challenge himself and try other genres beside romance.

For fans of Love Marriage Divorce this glossy revenge drama should have been great fun. The cast has so many familiar faces from that show including Sung Hoon and Lee Min Young. It's great to see the lovely Lee Min Young in a lead villainess role all dressed to kill. Total contrast from her sweet role in LMD. Also some of the older generation are here too like the Professor and Golf Resort owner. I enjoyed Jung Yoo Min in Red Balloon where she really shone. Everyone is well dressed and elegant. Even the older generation is great with Lee Mi Sook and other top older actors.

This is a makjang style revenge drama. A woman is murdered but goes back a year and changes things. The cinderella gets her justice. It's quite satisfying to see the bad guys get punished one by one very clearly. It's not rushed for the end like some earlier revenge dramas. In fact the happy part is very long. But some parts of the story are just not well written enough. The villains are too one dimensionally simplistic. Unlike better revenge shows PMR has weak scenes and is often not exciting. Some of the characters' actions and dialogue are unconvincing. There isn't enough humour either. And I did not feel an emotional connection with the characters. Didn't love or hate them. At least Penthouse was funny if over the top. Btw Jennie from Penthouse plays a villainess here. The direction is oddly stiff and unnatural and the pace is monotonous. I don't know why they made the heroine Jung Yoo Min act in such a way. Often just staring blankly. She was so good in Red Balloon. Towards the end there is an interesting twist I wasn't expecting that brings things together.

This is a slightly disappointing show after the brilliance of Love Marriage Divorce which was so wise and funny. But I still had to watch it because it was so great to see the LMD cast again. The most interesting thing is their outfits. Oddly there is another show with a similar premise Marry My Husband. Hope that one is better.

This is fantasy romance drama with a great lead in Jung Yoo-Min. She's incredibly stunning her presence of camera always draws you in. Her performance also makes you easily fall for her and route for her. You could feel the wave of emotions she goes through. You smile,cry and laugh with her through it all. The main lead guy is a great compliment to her as they had great chemistry.

The show is very well made and unlike most K-dramas it doesn't drag the plot. It moves very fast to its conclusion which makes this a good drama to watch. It's not perfect but the supporting cast do a great job as they played their roles well. You know they're good when all they do is leave a bitter taste in your mouth when they're on screen.

I liked it very much although the last episode was underwhelming. It's always like this with most K-dramas they usually don't know how to close out shows. They usually end up doing the most but it wasn't that bad. Nevertheless it's a great series but definitely is a bit overrated by many viewers like many other shows.

The ratings are so high for a reason. This is a superbly entertaining drama. Every episode is exciting. Many series falter towards the latter third but Perfect Marriage Revenge doesn't let up of a minute. But it isn't just dramatic for the sake of being dramatic. It keeps within plausibility. The hypocrisy of society is laid bare. How different people deal with infidelity is another issue tackled head on. The most heart breaking aspect is the effect of battling on impacting all your loved ones.

The cast is well chosen and act very well. Not an easy task. SungHoon really shines. Fans will be thrilled Bang Sung Hoon. And the success of many a dramatic scene rests on his effective but not overdone performance.

The soundtrack is delightful and effective. Gripping and all too close to reality. The script, the performance, everything about this show will blow you away. Surprisingly, this K-drama delivers a very compelling and realistic glance at those intricate relationships and charged moments one married faces, while getting involved in infidelity. Acting, sound, cinematography and emotional involvement - worth it!!!
