Familiar Wife

This KDrama made me happy, laugh, sad, and mostly tears of joy. If you are married with kids the this Kdrama will hit you harder, do yourself a favor and watch it, because you will learn alot how to have a perfect relationship with your partner.

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.

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.

Though similar at first to "Go Back Couple", that is only superficially: this series is more mature, poignant, sad, and joyous. As usual, Ji Sung takes a narrative and gives both humor and grace that keeps the viewer focused far more intimately than most actors can achieve. His beauty and depth are mesmerizing. And when you hit ep. 8, you know this is special. However, that is the height of the series, and the rest is mostly standard: good not great, especially for Ji Sung.

What an underrated show! I stumbled across it by accident, and watched the first (and only?) season over the weekend.

Certain pieces were quirky, corny, slow, and forced, but were necessary for the conclusion. The sci-fi aspect to the show really hit home when they realized they had choices.

The casting was PERFECT -- and I cannot stress that enough.

This is a message to all divorced people, or anyone with questions about their choices. You don't need to disrupt your entire timeline to make better choices concerning your attitude and relationship RIGHT NOW.

I LOVED THIS SHOW. Please don't create a sequel. It is perfect as-is.
