Familiar Wife

My second K-drama with Seong Ju after 'kill me, heal me'. I really thought he was more for comedy, fun, but in this show he shows a deeper performance. This is a more mature romance, with ups and downs and the time travel part. I love the fantasy condiment in k-dramas, so I enjoyed this very much. I enjoyed watching this in 3-4 days, and the last 5 episodes all the afternoon in a free day. All the actors are great and when you finish watching, they became your friends too. You know how they will react, because of the true performances, script and direction. I have a pleasant smile after watching the last episode. I hope you too :) (Check my list 'Favourite Korean Dramas / Comedies')

I am an avid kdrama watcher and I will regard this drama as my favorite of all time. I am sincerely wondering why it doesn't have a higher rating. To begin with, the chemistry between all the cast is amazing, each and every side character as well. The main leads are tremendous actors and I regard Han Ji-Min as my favorite actress because of this drama as well as her others. This drama truly lets her shine and we get to see so many of her talents in acting. Secondly, the plot is superb. It is both a story easily heard of but also uniquely performed. I really appreciated how the plot was not only for Ju Hyeok to realize what was really wrong in his marriage, but for Wu-Jin as well. It is absolutely realistic and tremendously easy to fall in love with. Lastly, I read many reviews stating that the last few episodes were dull and I'll disagree by saying those were my favorites! We really got to see the sweet behavior between the main couple as what should have happened in a marriage that is healthy and communicative. Over all, it is hard not to fall in love with all the characters in this show. I must say I will honestly miss watching it. I 10/10 recommend it to everyone, even those who barely watch Korean shows.

No idea why it got all the negativity but for me it was deep and sad and funny. You knew the places where the male lead is being an ass but you are still rooting for him because the actor is very convincing. The main couple's chemistry is beyond amazing. The second lead is cute too. What more do you want??!! The events that were happening kept me interested up until the end. But it would have been so much better if the male lead could go back to the previous version of his wife and make things better for themselves and clean the mess they created. Anyways I can't stress enough on the acting ability of ji sung...no other actor could have pulled this off.

This drama is simply excellent. I think Familiar Wife hits that sweet spot between fantastical romance and relatable reality. Despite the large role played by elements like 'destiny', Familiar Wife never fails to feel like an everyman's story, one that everyone can see themselves be a part of. This drama had so many applicable life lessons and such larger than life characters, it was a complete joy to watch them. Familiar Wife requires a slightly mature and forgiving audience, because these characters are flawed, not unlike real humans. They make mistakes, learn, and make more mistakes - and that's how life works.

It's an amazing drama! This drama is perfect if you're looking for not so heavy storyline but still with good plots. You will like their chemistry and they're humorous too! A good drama to binge watch :)
