Perfect Marriage Revenge

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
