Marry My Husband

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 honestly had very little expectations for this, but it's surprisingly kept me interested so far. It's got comfortable pacing, nothing moves too fast or too slow. There is no dragging or overextending of emotional moments, it feels like everything is moving just right.

At the same time, I have to say I really dislike the tendency of kdramas to "justify" the main couple by throwing in flashbacks of how they've actually met before. Marry my husband joins other very good and prominent dramas with this cardinal cringy sin, which I completely dislike. I think it even takes away from the plot.

Otherwise, I really like and feel inspired by the storyline of having the second chance to do your life all over- and I really like that the main character does a full makeover physically and mentally. She questions her own past actions and decides she is going to fight for herself. She chooses to no longer be a pushover, and tries finding people who deserve her. I think it's really fitting to have this drama released in this day and age.

I heard it's a webtoon adaptation- I don't really know much about the webtoon so I can't comment on how well it was adapted. Regardless, the drama stands pretty well on its own, in my opinion.

Kang Ji-Won (Park Min-Young) is married to Park Min-Hwan (Lee Yi-Kyung), who is very lazy and in debt with a useless father and appaling mother. Kang Ji-Won discovers she is terminally ill then catches her husband and her only friend Jung Soo-Min (Song Ha-Yoon) in bed together. She accidentally dies and is re-born ten years previously. She decides to change her "new" life by making Jung Soo-Min marry Park Min-Hwan. She also gains in confidence and determination.

Now what I have not seen anywhere in any of previous reviews is the comedy of this series. Touted as a Revenge drama - yes I suppose it is. BUT I never stopped laughing as it was so totally unreal and the brilliant acting of the husband, Park Min-Hwan (Lee Yi-Kyung), is just so good. Don't know how they managed to keep a stright face even filming this as I was just folded over in laughter. As far I am concerned its a COMEDY!

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!

The headline actually mean, the movie is awesome... I actually forgot I was watching a subtitled movie. All cast actions are good ... Have always Love park Min-young movies.... But this is just so nice and interesting.... Plus the funny scenes made it so lively.... Kudos to all casts.

The most scene that made me Wowwww was episode 9...... The twist in the episode, suspense and the enthusiasm that comes from the plot is . Let's just say I love the movie so much and I hope the writer will continue writing more interesting stories. Job weldone to all cast and crew for being positive and good....
