Watashi no Otto to Kekkon Shite

Just finished episode 6 and I can't wait to watch more every Friday. Personally I like this version so much better than the KDRAMA. The original version is a WEBTOON comic so the KDRAMA version is NOT the original. And so far I think the JDrama does a great job of showing the personalities of the characters, especially the Director. He may seem reserved but he genuinely cares about Misa and will whatever it takes to save her. I love their relationship and how gentle he is with her. The flow of the story is paced very well, and although some parts are different from the WEBTOON I can still tell where we are in the story. I can't wait to keep watching.

The start was good; you can see that it's supposed to be nuanced but it just slightly falls short. I agree with most other reviewers that it lacks the charm of the Korean version. It's the ending that's the problem, it's not satisfying. Villains: no one gets their just desserts and the female villain sill gets to traumatized the FL which is all she really wanted. All the other awful people the ruined the FL's first life just drift off out of the storyline with no satisfying consequences. The built up to the big finally never reached its peak and the big finally was similarly lacking. The last 2 episodes at least felt rushed, if they'd done 12 episodes instead of ten then they could have at least padded out the story more. I also agree that the chemistry between the FL and the ML was lacking and not at convincing as people who are convinced that their love is doomed or even just half convinced - I don't think it's the actors faults though I think it's down to the writing and directing. Also the dramatic moments never truly felt dramatic (somehow).

Overall I went into this thinking it was a more gritty less comedically punchy version of the Korean show, and it definitely tried to be but it really just fell to short to satisfy.

On the other hand it was still very good.

I haven't watched a drama in a while, partly because I've been busy and a little bored. But somehow today I was idle, and happened to watch Marry My Husband ver Japan. And do you know this is very unexpected?

Yes! I'm a hard follower of the weebton line and of course I've also watched the K-drama version. But honestly, I swear to god this dorama is crazy awesome. All the plots are on point. The acting of the cast is also awesome. I just think I would say I prefer the Japanese version nowadays. This drama managed to make me cry many times, feel disgusted, annoyed, excited, angry at the same time moved, funny, and happy very well. The chemistry of the 'misa's father' figure with misa is so strong unlike in the k-drama. It feels very relate. Let me say I'm over the moon about it, but I swear when I saw the acting of little Misa and Reina, I couldn't help but smile. It was a wholesome scene. This drama also managed to make me shudder at how Misa's execution was done. It was so dark!!! Anyway, it's crazy good.

You guys should try watching it and you won't regret it.

I'm not really a fan of Japanese dramas, but "Marry My Husband" completely changed my perspective. This is the only Japanese drama that truly captured my heart and left a deep impression on me. From the very first episode, I was drawn into the story and couldn't stop watching. It's a drama filled with raw emotions, unexpected twists, and a beautiful message about love, betrayal, revenge, and personal growth.

What I loved most was the character development. The lead female character was so relatable, and her journey from pain to empowerment was inspiring. You could feel every emotion she went through - from heartbreak, anger, and sadness, to strength, courage, and healing. The way she fought for herself after being betrayed by the people she loved most was powerful and moving.

The drama also made me reflect on life, relationships, and second chances. It reminded me how important it is to value ourselves, to walk away from toxic people, and to never be afraid to start again. Every episode was engaging and full of meaning, and even the side characters had depth and unique stories.

The acting was top-notch, the music enhanced the emotional scenes, and the pacing of the plot kept me hooked. "Marry My Husband" is not just a revenge drama - it's a story of strength, forgiveness, and finding love and happiness in unexpected places. I honestly didn't expect to love it this much, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance.

I highly recommend this drama to anyone looking for something emotionally powerful, with meaningful lessons and unforgettable characters. It's one of those rare series that stays in your heart long after the final episode.

This was the second time I have watched an Asian/Japanese TV series, after recently watching "Heaven's Coin" - an excellent Romance Drama series. This one didn't disappoint either, despite the fact that I don't understand Japanese language and had to have subtitles turned on.

A slightly unconventional twist in the story with a return to life after dying. The only negative for me with this story, is the fact that it often switches between points in time, without any indication of when events were happening - around the year death happened, or after death and that time the characters went back to. Usually when TV dramas or movies go back and forth in time there's usually a clear indication of what time the scene is in, such as displaying in screen the year, or maybe switching to black and white to show it's in the past. While it was a little bit of a negative for me, and the reason I gave it 9 stars, rather than 10, I would still recommend watching it, because it's ability to keep me interested and wondering what's going to happen next.
