I have no ntoes, I'm happy
Honestly, this is what I enjoy about kdramas - romance and revenge plot that are well-executed. There are many different complaints about the show, but I have no notes. The FL had been wronged so much by people close to her that she felt the need to get revenge and I must say, I enjoyed the way she went about it.I hate when shows have a revenge plot where the MC suddenly acts like they "forget" how evil the other characters are, so they let their guard down. That didn't happen at all here. In fact, she knew they were bad the whole time and didn't let up and even when they showed their darker colors, for the most part, she was prepared. I liked that Ji-Won took action; she didn't wait around for Ji-hyuk to do things for her, but she also didn't stop him from helping too much. And I like that as things ramped up toward the end, she kept going.
Idk, the story about how she regained her life bit by bit, reclaiming ten years of her life that was stolen from her...I loved it. I enjoyed the acting a lot and I actually love every character.
Even the evil people, like min-hwan and su-min. I like them as characters. I like that su-min was great at survival and that min-hwan, even though evil, had a strange charm to him. I like every character because they felt real. They didn't suddenly "have an epiphany about their wrongdoings," they were just evil and got more and more evil as the show went on. Su-min's acting was GREAT, so was PMY as Ji-won.
The intricate choices and how they changed the outcome were also very fascinating to watch.
I loved how caring and attentive ji-hyuk was. Ji-won really deserved someone like him.
I'm really a fan of this show.

Everything must have it's place
I honestly loved the story, acting, and twists and turns in this show. The BTS on this were even more fun to watch. The 'Husband' is so wholesome in real life, and as much as the show makes you hate him, watching his interviews and the BTS of the show makes him much like Tom Felton for Harry Potter fans. They hate him as Malfoy but love him as a person.Kang Ji Won with stage 4 cancer, and a best friend who can't live without her is dying. Her deadbeat of a husband isn't paying her medical, so she heads home, only to find her husband and best friend in bed, planning on how to spend the insurance money once she's dead.
She confronts them and, in the process, falls on a glass table, leading to her death. When she wakes up, it's 10 years earlier, and she has a second chance to forego all the bad. Her first lesson: What happened before still must happen. Her goal: Make her "Best Friend" marry her once-husband (who is currently her fiance/boyfriend? Honestly, I had trouble keeping this straight as she broke it off a few times at the start). Can she escape her fate of marrying a deadbeat cheater and find the happiness she deserves?
Yoo Ji Hyeok, her Chief Manager at work, starts to notice her, and their feelings grow. He starts to help her with her goals. He, too, has a secret.
I absolutely loved Kang Ji Won and Yoo Ji Hyeok together, and their chemistry was off the charts. His unwavering support of whatever she needed was heartbreaking to watch as he struggled with her plans, but it was heartwarming to know he trusted her reasons.
I fully recommend this as a watch albeit for older teens and adults, and not children.

SUPERB SUSPENSEFUL ROMANTIC DRAMA
Magnificent Drama. From start to finish - witty, exciting, suspenseful, romantic, life affirming. The two lead actors were spectacular to the point that they were real three-dimensional humans. Park Min-Young was such a great fighter!! She is one of my favorite actresses frim the 1st time I saw her in What's Wrong With Secretary Kim. Her match was Na In Woo, who I had not seen before, but he was fantastic - super handsome, kind, considerate, brilliant, a planner, romantic!!I loved her dad, his smile just charmed me. Wouldn't it be nice to have such a person in your life?
There are so many key aspects to this show - romance, destruction, redemption, memories, evil, greed, jealousy, love, friendship, protection. You will not have one dull moment.
Shout out to other key players - the evil duo were fantastic; the lawyer and the lady I think he loves - but why no confession?, the incredibly handsome, sweet, sincere chef and the ebullient cheeky sis, the judo friends, the jealous creepy woman - who could like her?
Plus, what I always crave in a romantic drama but rarely happens. This drama delivered in spades.
From start to finish, you will wish for no interruptions and want to spend 16 hours in sheer bliss.
Thank you to all cast, writers, production teams, writers, subtitlists, sound, music, sets, .... I know that like What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, that I will return to this drama again and again for an uplifting, dramatic, oft scary, romantic roller coaster ride.
Note that I've now placed all of Na In Woo's ouvre in my queue.

The best of 2024!
Having watched numerous revenge dramas and stories featuring characters getting a second chance at life, I was pleasantly surprised by the unique twist that Marry My Husband brought to the table. From start to finish, this series was thrilling. Every episode left me eagerly anticipating the next, craving more of the gripping storyline.What really impressed me was the balanced portrayal of power dynamics between the "good and evil" characters. Unlike some dramas where the main character is bullied until they finally fight back in the end, the main leads in this drama hit the ground with their boxing gloves on.
In my opinion, Marry My Husband stands out as one of the best dramas of 2024 so far. Its fresh approach and thrilling storyline make it a must-watch for fans of the genre.

Go for it
Marry My Husband" is one of the best dramas I've seen. While theme-based dramas aren't uncommon, this drama's uniqueness shines through in many aspects. One of its standout features is how the characters are given a second chance to rectify their past mistakes.The drama covers a wide range of themes, including humor, cruelty, bullying, love, jealousy, hatred, conspiracy, obsession, and regression.
I particularly enjoyed the ending, which fulfilled my expectations of a satisfying conclusion to a happy ending story.
Lee Yi Kyung's performance was outstanding. Having seen him in "Eulachacha Waikiki," where he showcased his comedic talents, I was surprised by his ability to portray a negative character in "Marry My Husband ." He demonstrated a range of emotions, from love and fury to comedy, obsession with power, and the cruelty of a husband. He truly excelled in his role.
Regarding the other actors:
The female lead delivered a remarkable performance, showcasing her exceptional acting skills. Her portrayal of the scene where she discovers that the person who dropped her home was her father, leading to her emotional breakdown, was particularly impressive. Additionally, her reaction upon returning to the year 2013 and seeing her husband was incredibly moving.
There were many small but impactful scenes throughout the drama, all elevated by the stellar performances of the actors.
The male lead also delivered a strong performance, as did his sister and the actor who portrayed the chef.

AMAZING
WAO QUE JOYITA DE DRAMA!!Que linda manera de iniciar el año, buen drama, que te engancha desde el principio al final.
La actuación de cada uno fue INCREÍBLE, especialmente de los villanos, lo dieron todo y espero que le den su reconocimiento por eso.
A pesar de que el drama a mitad de historia se desvía un poco del original weebtoon, me gusto, ¿que ese drama que agregaron fue innecesario? SI , pero no me impidió disfrutar del resto.
Otra cosa que no me gusto es que los secundarios quedaron muy de lado en la historia, quería que el romance entre ambos ship floreciera

Was going great until...
Just to warn you, I'm a big fan of keeping a screenplay as close to possible as the original novel/webtoon. This drama was going great until they introduced a fiancée for ML who NEVER EXISTED in the webtoon. I could tolerate the other changes - ML committed suicide in the webtoon. He didn't die in a car accident. FL didn't know about ML being reborn until much later in the webtoon. That was a nice twist that was surprising to even the reader. Grandpa was not your typical chaebol patriarch who made arranged business marriages. He was a cool dude - he even had a ponytail. I seriously don't know why these screenwriters have to follow the 'old' Asian template of business marriages & fiancées showing up and ruining ML/FL's romance. Not only did ML have to play the noble idiot (my 2nd most hated drama device) but now there's a fiancée that never existed in the webtoon (my most hated drama device). That's when I had enough and stopped watching, picking it back up at the end. I literally had a short-lived temper tantrum because once again, a screenwriter ruined a perfectly good drama. It's bad enough that Netflix did a hatchet job on my favorite all time webtoon, A Business Proposal; now the screenwriter had to add the MOST ANNOYING drama device out there to Marry My Husband - a fiancée for ML.To top it off, I honestly don't think the director understood the characters in this drama at all. Both Ms. Yang and ML moped around the entire time - they were perpetual rainclouds. I didn't get that in the webtoon from Ms. Yang at all and ML was reserved but not depressed. He blushed a lot in the toon. Grandpa was not your typical meddling rich chaebol - honestly, ML's entire family was wonderful. I think the only ones who nailed their character was ML's sister (my favorite character in the toon besides the leads), possibly FL & Sumin (although she wasn't as fluffy and feminine as she was in the webtoon). As for the husband, the actor playing him is just too likeable for me to hate him. He came across as just a lazy dope who thought with his man part rather than the despicable character he was in the toon.
When the screenwriter changed the plot elements, he/she introduced some questions like - FL knows ML was reborn so why doesn't she ask him how he died and get to the bottom as to why he's so depressed all the time? And why is ML depressed? If FL can change her fate, why can't he? Besides, if FL doesn't die, then he won't be in the 'death car' coming back from her funeral. His depression and gloom doesn't make sense. Why doesn't he try to change his fate like FL????
Despite these changes, the drama was good (and amusing at times - Panties Park) until ML's so-called fiancée showed up. It wasn't necessary and was a completely made up element. I would rather the episodes get cut down to 14 if they didn't have enough material rather than add this old, annoying, worn out drama device. K-Dramas have evolved beyond the arranged marriage trope, screenwriter!

0 chemistry, badly written
The music is very bad in this drama. I feel like it did not add anything to the story at all.Acting was lacking from all of the characters. They were written in a way that i was unable to connect with any of them.
The female bad one was mean for no reason, even a beginner writer could have written a better plot line for the villain . The other fiance like she just started doing evil things without reason , so unrealistic everything how is written. It was very hard to finish this drama. Super disappointing and boring all the way.
The couple had absolutely 0 chemistry. They were dry and boring even on the kisses scene and marriage. None of the “couples” had any chemistry. A waste of time this drama. I am use to masterpieces and this is not one of them

I really loved this drama
I really loved this drama.The romance is on point, it doesn't go super fast but it doesn't go super slow either.
It has comedy, tragedy, drama, suspense and a fantasy factor that turned out wonderfully.
I really like everyone's acting, I like the tension of always thinking about how things will change in the present, the acting is at the perfect level of seriousness.
It has those gasp moments that make your heart flutter
I liked the ending, you feel relief with the decisions that led to that outcome.

Marry my husband aka the perfect revenge Drama.
This drama is the definition of a perfect drama. Everything from the beginning to the casting to the plotline, characters and even the minor changes from the original webtoon didn't ruin the drama. It was so good! My god I had a blast with this drama. The ending? perfect! This drama is the drama of the year! it's the ending which most k-dramas lack and Marry my husband did it all. it has the most strong, kind and the most evil that knew no bounds character. kudos to the producers and directors who killed it. I can't express how satisfied and happy I am with Marry My Huband. To see Park Min-Young finally in a good script and exceptional drama. k-neztines tried to cancel the drama because of Na-In woo not being handsome? go cry about it! Seeing a new face was so refreshing and he isn't handsome or yall just judgemental? People like these truly can't be happy. As for the Oh-Yura plot. Many said it was unnecessary and kept complaining about it not understanding that any drama based on webtoon is never the same and this plotline was a major twist and much needed one, so please understand the story before you even start whining about it. Some said it's slow! They are many fast-paced ones go watch that. There is a reason it's slow because its meant to be like that. I LOVED IT!Was this review helpful to you?
