A Esposa do Meu Marido

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).

Read the webtoon version, then came across the drama version. Thoroughly enjoyed it . The pure acting, expression and overall everything was flawless.

The cast did a great job. I absolutely dislike Koreans for their boycott culture if some scandalous comes up in someone's personal life. Whatever the actress does in Ber personal life doesn't matter as long as her performance is worthy!

Everyone worked impeccably to ensure the drama was a great success. The couple's chemistry is explosive, and despite many transformations, the plot nevertheless stays together and entices viewers to watch more episodes. I'm eager for the scenes of REVENGEEEE and for the couple to start dating. I'm engrossed in the drama.

I just finished watching this for the second time.

I have to admit I thoroughly enjoyed it all over again.

I especially loved the action and chemistry between the male and female leads it was exceptional. It would be easy to see how some could not understand how difficult it really is to show little to no emotion. I know I thought that the first time I watched it. If you noticed that around people, early on, his emotions were nil yet when alone he began to display more and more.

It was a shame, that although the second female lead had very real and dangerous mental/emotional issues, no one really named it.... they only reacted or responded to it.

Again a real 10 star and when I think how many of us would like to have a 'do-over', it made it even more enjoyable!

This had incredible acting but I REALLY enjoyed how wonderful the storyline and directing was. Many newer series don't have anywhere near the creativity and enjoyment this show had. THANK YOU SO MUCH! There was drama but also some fun along the way, It was so nice to to see a story that yes had some tension but the viewers also had the opportunity to cheer on those who had been victimized in the past.

Most people have normal challenges to deal with but it was so heart warming to watch those who had been abused and hurt overcome and come out the winners. Everyone got what they deserved and it would be hard to not have a smile when this story ended.

Park Min Young babygirl you will always be famous! Finally a role that fully showcases all her acting chops. Need a tragic, miserable character that's going through the worst time of their life? Do you want to then see said character fight back and grow and figure out how to be happy in her own terms? Wanna see a slow burning love story with all the kdrama romance magic? Well then this is the drama for you! I absolutely loved it, even the makjang-esque parts of the plot. The secondary characters were also incredibly well written and were lovely in their own way getting their own full thought out stories. I'm giving it a 9 only because I think the story could have been balanced differently and also I didn't love the male leads acting. I think with a different lead next to Park Min Young this would be even better. But besides that it's great!
