SATISFYING ALL THE WAY THROUGH

I'm usually quite harsh on these types of shows where there is revenge but this show really captures a person's breaking point so well. HYJ had been thrown away by everyone she thought cared about her and when she wakes up a year in the past, she doesn't waste a second and immediately chooses to turn her back on everyone that betrayed her. Her attitude from that point on is just perfect! She doesn't back down and although she still struggles with the anxiety of being around her abusive family, she ultimately chooses herself at every turn.

I actually really liked Seo Jung Wooks character portayal. Of course he was a horrible person but his aura and even just the way he speaks reminds me of a classic Disney villain (specifically Shan Yu from Mulan). I think what sets him apart as a character is he's not a psychopath like Lee Jung Hye, he just never learned how to love anything or anyone including himself.

I kind of wish that the sister, Han Yoo Ra, ended up in a ditch somewhere tbh. God she was insufferable. Also no one found out that she's not actually biologically related to her dad. I do like that she ended up having to go back to that simp of a man, Se Hyeok. He deserves her simply for loving her so much he didn't care about hurting Yi Joo in the process.

All in all, I think this drama did a fantastic job of presenting a satisfying revenge plot. 10/10

An absolute must watch!

Yes, yes and yes. This has been one of the most addictive dramas I have watched. I was reluctant because I’m not a fan of revenge dramas but I’m glad I watched it, because it was so much more than that. There was romance, drama, revenge, karma and so many yes, yes moments. I have no regrets watching this. I honestly rewatched it while waiting on the last episodes. It was that good.

What I enjoyed most was the concept in general which was second chances or a redo, it coincides with the saying “If you knew then what you know now, what would you do?” The series is the epitome of, Show me what you’d do. And boy did she!!

My favorite elements were present: quick karma, chemistry, action, romance, strong and smart leads and the happy ending.

Uma das jóias desse ano! Espetacular.

Simplesmente espetacular. Atuação, trilha sonora, fotografia, direção, roteiro etc. Tudo impecável. Sung Hoon e Jung Yoo Min impecáveis nos papéis. Esse roteiro simplesmente espetacular com um desenvolvimento épico, sem muita enrolação e direto ao ponto. Foi incrível acompanhar esse drama. Esse drama veio para consagrar de vez o Sung Hoon como não apenas um rosto bonito, mas com uma carga incrível em atuação. Não conhecia a Jung Yoo Min, então foi um prazer imenso ver essa incrível atriz em todo o seu poder. Muito Bela e extremamente talentosa. Quem está em dúvida sobre assistir ou não, só assista e aproveite esse incrível drama.

I have NEVER

I can honestly say I have had it up to the last strand of hair on my head with some of these scripts. I have NEVER wanted to rewatch a first episode and search for leaked episodes until this moment.
Yes, there is a pitiful damsel and distress. However, from the direction they are taking, she will be her own Knight and Shining Armor to a certain extent. However, she does have Prince Charming helping her along the way giving her emotional strength, courage, and the will to push through. I wouldn’t say she does it alone but her willingness is the key factor. A person has to be willing. He is her everything and I’m falling in love with him for her. 😂
To sum it up, there’s a family who treated her like trash from the moment they took her home. The enabler adoptive father sucks. The horrible adoptive mother sucks (you would think YJ was the love child). The sister is the mean princess. Anyway, you will get mad, feel sad, be happy, have awe moments, cringe moments, and fall in love in each episode.

For the first time, all year, I can finally watch a drama and not worry about the actors doing a cringe job and focus on the plot. They are really walking me through this drama with them hand in hand. Thank you seasoned actors. Thank you!!!!
PLEASE WATCH. If it changes later I will be the first to update my review to give you a heads-up (for the bingers). I want to give it a 10 but I don’t want to jinx it.😂

What was all the hype for?

Maybe this gets better at the end but this was such a hyped up drama and I can't tell you why. The characters seem so 1 dimensional but in the worst way and the fl literally flips 180 overnight but not in a way that feels natural. The ML and FL seem so awkward and lack chemistry. I gave this a solid try but this drama was not to my liking at all.

Perfect revenge

Found the perfect one to look.
Can't wait to find out what the rest of the story is.
Duk looked like he knows Yi Joo from the past.
Predictions:
- He knows her and was in the crash too.
- She took her revenge about the paintings too.
- Finally marries him for real
- Ex fiancé cannot do anything about her new marriage

Questions to be answered:
- why was she really adopted?
- will her parents make themselves known?
- will she be happy with Duk?
- i hope her ex mother in law slaps her son on her behalf.

Perfect Marriage Revenge is a great revenge drama within a contract marriage plot. The actors did a great job bringing their characters to life and the leading couple has great chemistry. The fact that the drama was done only with only 12 one hour and ten minutes episodes makes the flow of the story fast paced but very little is missed in character and plot development. The main storyline in this drama is the event that, after dying, the leading lady is brought back in time for a second opportunity in life and her choice to take revenge on those that hurt her in her past life. Thrown into the equation is a leading man that does everything in his power to protect her and make her realize that she is worthy of been loved and cherished. The leading couple is great expressing their feelings and communicating even after some twists put them in awkward positions since their relationship develops with a steadfast and sincere love that allows them to heal each other. Overall, the drama is very well done and the actors’ performances, even the overly dramatic ones, were done well, making the drama very entertaining and giving the audience a well thought out revenge plot without making the leading couple crazy and evil for vengeance. Enjoy it!

AHHHHH

I just really enjoyed this drama lol
I CRAVE a satisfying revenge scene and this kdrama DELIVERED. I hate when antagonists don't get served justice or walk away with a slap on the wrist but the mom/sister seriously got what they deserved. The female lead came back stronger after getting a second chance at life; I sometimes can't stand when FLs are weak and powerless and depend on a male lead for everything. I'm not usually into afterlife/second life series but this one was really good.
Overall, I highly recommend this drama if you like justice being served.

Perfect Marriage Revenge? More like Perfect Midday Nap.

I gave this drama a fair shot before calling it quits. The setup felt eerily familiar, and my brain kept wandering back to Marry My Husband, which did the whole “second chance at life and revenge” premise with more conviction and emotional grounding. Over there, the leads were actually likeable — people I wanted to root for. Here, I mostly wanted to shake the male lead awake; he looked two yawns away from a nap in every scene.

To be fair, Marry My Husband had the advantage of time and context — coworkers with history, quiet familiarity, and believable chemistry. In Perfect Marriage Revenge, Do Guk and Yi Joo meet and suddenly we’re meant to buy into this destined connection, but it just doesn’t land. Even the villains feel flat in comparison – they were surface-level and predictable, offering no real tension or complexity.

The emotional stakes felt thin, and the drama leaned heavily on genre structure without building the depth needed to sustain interest. Perfect Marriage Revenge may appeal to viewers who enjoy stylized revenge setups, but for me, it lacked the pull and payoff to justify continuing.

Un drame revanchard qui s'assume...

Voilà un drame de revanche qui va jusqu'au bout des choses sans prendre la route du pardon. Plutôt que de montrer patte blanche (comme ce serait habituellement le cas), Perfect Marriage Revenge garde sa cape vengeresse jusqu'à son dernier épisode.

Dans un drame comme celui-ci, j'attends toujours le moment où le karma viendra faire son travail. Tout au long de l'histoire, on me fait ressentir des émotions négatives envers les antagonistes au point que je n'attends qu'une chose, une punition. Et c'est toujours incroyable lorsque ça arrive.

La mère (Lee Jung Hye) et la fille (Han Yoo Ra) sont des purges qu'on déteste, qu'on méprise et qu'on imagine plus d'une fois dans un broyeur. Elles sont méchantes et cruelles dans le seul but de pourrir la vie de Han Yi Joo et d'être supérieures à tout et tout le monde. Leur chute est aussi exquise qu'un nounours en guimauve (et j'aime vraiment les nounours en guimauve). Si elles sont assez caricaturales (tout comme une majorité des personnages), cela n'enlève en rien la haine qu'on alimente envers elles, ni le plaisir quant à leur destin. Le seul envers lequel j'ai eu un élan de sympathique à un moment donné n'est autre que Yoo Se Hyeok. Le type est juste amoureux de la mauvaise personne. Si cela n'enlève en rien ses agissements à l'encontre de Han Yi Joo, c'est bien le seul que je peux voir comme victime de manipulation affective.

Le couple est très agréable à suivre. Leur évolution semble un peu rapide, mais le rythme permet de rendre l'ensemble entraînant. D'ailleurs, le rythme est bon sur toute la durée du drama. Il se passe toujours quelque chose au point qu'on a pas le temps de s'ennuyer. Bien sûr, certains éléments ne sont pas nouveaux, cela dit l'ensemble fonctionne par son rythme, son ambiance et ses acteurs/actrices qui sont tous très bons.

En bref, un drame de vengeance et quelques griffures ici et là. Si certains points sont sans surprises et avec des personnages un peu stéréotypés, il n'en est pas moins un drame plaisant avec cette pointe de satisfaction quant à sa ligne vengeresse qui s'assume jusqu'à son final.

Un bon dosage de vengeance et de romance

Après le très décevant "Boss & Me" (version chinoise) que je venais d'abandonner en cours de route tellement l'héroïne enjouée et neuneu m'agaçait à force de ne jamais s'affirmer (à sa décharge, ce drama a presque 10 ans donc bon...), la série coréenne "Perfect Mariage Revenge" a été un parfait remède ainsi qu'une excellente surprise.

Bien qu'elle n'évite pas les clichés habituels (une Cendrillon abusée par tous se voyant offrir une seconde chance et décidée à se venger, l'habituelle romance avec le PDG beau gosse d'une grande entreprise, secrets de famille et luttes de pouvoir, une mère & une sœur adoptives machiavéliques cherchant à pourrir la vie de la FL...), cette histoire sait les agencer de manière logique, efficace et sans temps morts. Ainsi, malgré certains rebondissements qu'on voit parfois venir à l'avance, il se passe toujours quelque chose et à aucun moment je ne me suis ennuyée. Ajoutez à cela des dialogues pertinents, des jeux d'acteurs relativement bons, des personnages consistants, le tout relativement bien dosé, et vous obtenez un drama coréen parfait pour occuper un week-end cocooning. Par ailleurs, la série sait aborder avec justesse les conséquences d'abus psychologiques et la difficulté de se libérer d'une famille toxique alors qu'on a désespérément besoin d'être aimé. Il faut souvent un déclic radical avant d'ouvrir les yeux et de s'autoriser à choisir une nouvelle route, et si le procédé n'est pas nouveau (après sa mort dans un 1er épisode où elle s'en est pris plein la gueule, l'héroïne a l'occasion de retourner une année en arrière et de changer le cours des choses), en tout cas il est pertinent et efficace.

Vengeance et romance s'imbriquent relativement bien, et même s'il est évident que le côté vengeance est surtout un prétexte à l'installation de la romance, le dosage reste assez bon. Une fois qu'elle a enfin ouvert les yeux et cela de la manière la plus douloureuse qui soit, notre héroïne apprend à s'affirmer et rend tous les coups qu'elle a reçus. En cela, le drama est plutôt jouissif et fait office de bonne catharsis quand on vient de se taper une énième daube présentant de manière romantique les abus de pouvoir d'un patron froid et tyrannique sur la pauvre employée au bon cœur qui affiche une moue puérile et boudeuse au lieu de voler dans les plumes de ceux qui profitent d'elle. D'ailleurs, même si nous avons droit au beau PDG, l'histoire parvient à s'écarter de ce schéma traditionnel en développant une romance saine malgré un point de départ téléphoné (un mariage à durée déterminée conclu comme un contrat où chacun y trouve son compte). Dès le début le ML se révèle comme un partenaire respectueux des traumatismes de la FL et le parfait soutien dont elle a besoin pour reprendre confiance dans les autres, et à aucun moment il ne cherche à abuser de la situation. Quant à l'héroïne, elle est loin de la classique demoiselle en détresse. Il est vrai que le support du héros est crucial au début, néanmoins cela découle de ses décisions à elle sitôt qu'elle a choisi de prendre sa vie en main et de chercher les ressources nécessaires là où elles se trouvent. Après avoir expérimenté une dépendance affective avec son ex, elle se montre désormais plus indépendante et sa nouvelle histoire d'amour est beaucoup plus équilibrée. Certains ont pu s'étonner dans les commentaires que l'amour du ML pour l'héroïne est un peu rapide voire facile, pour ma part son affection m'a semblée logique et compréhensible au vu du déroulement de l'histoire et des révélations ultérieures, d'autant qu'il a également vécu un traumatisme familial. Sachant cela, il est normal qu'il s'identifie en partie à elle et que cela favorise le lien qui les unit. Et même si j'ignore si c'était intentionnel - en tout cas ça m'a sauté aux yeux et j'ai trouvé ça plutôt futé - la série réussit à mettre en parallèle deux situations où cette notion d'identification est présente, mais dans le premier cas (le 1er époux reconnaît son propre côté pitoyable dans l'image que lui renvoie la FL) cela ne peut aboutir qu'à l'échec alors que dans le second, ça devient constructif grâce au soutien qu'ils s'apportent mutuellement pour atteindre un objectif commun.

En conclusion, si on passe sur ses rebondissements parfois attendus et ses méchantes un peu caricaturales, on profite pleinement de cette histoire rythmée, bien agencée et construite intelligemment. Un drama qui ne renouvelle peut-être pas le genre, mais qui fait du bien au moral.
