Marry My Husband

Watched this from "recommendations" on my Prime. I was a skeptical at first, having no experience with the language or Korean dramas. It's funny, but after the first episode, you forget you're watching subtitles.

This is incredibly well-written and well acted. It grabs your emotions and makes you invest in the characters. There's enough back story to explain things without it going off on to some uninteresting tangent. There is great chemistry between actors (not just the lead ones) and an amazing sense of anticipation. Just when you think you know what's going to happen, a twist comes in. Realistic twists, not some far-fetched thing to wrap up a side story.

As soon as my phone pings, I'm on the tv to watch it full screen. I haven't felt such anticipation for a show in a very long time.

I've seen manhwa adoptions before (both with actors, as well as in animated form). Some better than others but when I stumbled over this one on my prime account, I dropped my viewing plans and cleared my schedule and watched the first 3 episodes (hours).

I don't know if it's the score (music), the scrip (that looks like it holds hand in hand with its source (love that 👌) or if the actors, direction or lighting and stylist had a finger in making this magical. Perhaps all of the above because it just CLICKED for me. I got swept off into the story, it took me where I first went in the manhwa and I couldn't say any negatives about it,

Sure, Su-min doesn't have her "pink'ish" hair, nor does a-hole of the year not his brown'ish hair but the actors ARE these characters. I have NO trouble believing them or notice who is who from a glance since the behavior (dirty or sweet) shines through everyone of the main cast.

Deep respect for the actors here. Not sure if they read the manhwa and laughed, cried and raged at some characters and that's why they are so incredibly adjusted to just BE THEM! But everyone had me mimic their faces. I was so caught up in it! Sumin pouted and I wondered why my brows hurt: I was glaring at her while at the same time "mirrored" her pout because I was so deeply invested into it.

When our heroine cried, feared or raged internally I "felt" all those emotions and was sobbing at several points, to the point that I had to apologize to the rest of the house that I just found a REALLY GOOD series, so that's why there is cheering, shouting and crying 😅

Needless to say, I cannot speak highly enough for this.

I know some will take issue with the lack of hair color on a few character, however I understand and have to respect the different culture of "blending in" rather than looking like a peacock in between shoots (or have horribly wigs that fans would perhaps also fault them for).

The headline actually mean, the movie is awesome... I actually forgot I was watching a subtitled movie. All cast actions are good ... Have always Love park Min-young movies.... But this is just so nice and interesting.... Plus the funny scenes made it so lively.... Kudos to all casts.

The most scene that made me Wowwww was episode 9...... The twist in the episode, suspense and the enthusiasm that comes from the plot is . Let's just say I love the movie so much and I hope the writer will continue writing more interesting stories. Job weldone to all cast and crew for being positive and good....

It's a fantasy revenge drama about a woman who witnesses the affair between her best friend and her husband, and is murdered by them, she goes back in time to change her future and seek revenge.

This kdrama is also based on webtoon. (This has became new trend), but as per webtoon readers, makers have done some changes.

You get invested in the drama from 1st scene.

Story progresses with ample twists & turns, though we already know where it is heading.

Casting of Park Min-young as FL and Lee Yi-kyung as main villain is perfect. Specially Lee Yi-kyung is not only good in his villainous acts but he was equally good in comedy scenes. Park Min-young does what she is famous for. Her acting is perfect.

Na In-woo has wooden face but he is ok as lead as his only duty is to support FL. Good enough romantic scenes between leads.

1st female villain, is good in dramatic scenes but she screamed a lot, which was annoying.

In later episodes they bring another female vamp, which is not needed, she just increases the screen time.

It's a soap opera type kdrama, good watch for kdrama lovers.

Supporting cast is good. Drama ends with predictable happy ending. I enjoyed watching it.

I honestly had very little expectations for this, but it's surprisingly kept me interested so far. It's got comfortable pacing, nothing moves too fast or too slow. There is no dragging or overextending of emotional moments, it feels like everything is moving just right.

At the same time, I have to say I really dislike the tendency of kdramas to "justify" the main couple by throwing in flashbacks of how they've actually met before. Marry my husband joins other very good and prominent dramas with this cardinal cringy sin, which I completely dislike. I think it even takes away from the plot.

Otherwise, I really like and feel inspired by the storyline of having the second chance to do your life all over- and I really like that the main character does a full makeover physically and mentally. She questions her own past actions and decides she is going to fight for herself. She chooses to no longer be a pushover, and tries finding people who deserve her. I think it's really fitting to have this drama released in this day and age.

I heard it's a webtoon adaptation- I don't really know much about the webtoon so I can't comment on how well it was adapted. Regardless, the drama stands pretty well on its own, in my opinion.
