Perfect Marriage Revenge

What a surprisingly perfect show! I am a fan of contract marriages, revenge dramas, romances involving revenge and family dynamics, and this drama had it all. The actors were a pleasant surprise too, since I was seeing most of them for the first time, including the leads, and that when I have watched over a hundred K-Dramas already. I loved it that the story concluded in 12 episodes, and there were no unnecessary stretches that needed skipping or forwarding. I finished the show in two days flat, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for an interesting drama that keeps you hooked from start to finish!

For the first time I can say that one drama did proper justice to the original webtoon. When the announcement of this drama came out I was very sceptical about it. But after the first episode itself I was super impressed. Each single character did an amazing work. I was actually surprised to see that they were able to conclude the entire webtoon in the 12 episode drama. Few important points weren't included in the drama. They could have been included if it were a 14 or a16 episode drama. But again it could have been dragged unnecessarily.

Perfect Marriage Revenge left me somewhat pleasantly entertained, but the widespread acclaim and high ratings have caught me off guard.

It's a low-budget revenge drama featuring lesser-known actors, and while the acting is passable ( at least for the main leads), there's a tendency for over-the-top performances, especially in dramatic scenes. The storylines and plots are straightforward and simple, bordering on cliché, reminiscent of Latin American telenovelas with their impossible plots and surreal twists.

The drama introduced a time travel element, which, in my opinion, had untapped potential. The creators could have delved deeper into this intriguing aspect, but it felt underutilized. However, the romance between the main leads emerged as the drama's highlight. Their chemistry was palpable, injecting a spark into the narrative. Unfortunately, the backstory and the time travel arc could have been explored more extensively to enhance the overall depth.

Despite its predictable plot and unrealistic twists, managed to be entertaining so if you don't have anything else in your watchlist, give it a go.

There's an argument to be made about how Perfect Marriage Revenge had a perfect execution because it was a 12 episodes long drama and didn't have time for unnecessary conflicts. Everything took its right time and was resolved in a cohesive way with the characters development.

Both leads were compelling and had amazing chemistry, but the secondary characters were equally interesting to watch. All the performances outstanding and you can tell the actors are enjoying themselves in their respective roles.

On a story about a woman looking for revenge against her own family, this kdrama had a perfect balance between makjang and romcom. Making it an easy and fun watch. I highly recommend it!

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!!!
