Revenge is a dish best served with green beans

Let's be real. Could I resist a series called " Until I Destroy my Husband's Family"? Nope, I couldn't.

Otto no Katei wo Kowasu made may have been a low budget series and may have gotten a bit draggy towards the end, but no one can deny that it was entertaining.

Matsumoto Marika is splendidly overacting from beginning to end, as many of the actors and actresses in the series. I may have not read the manga, but the drama definitely had the right vibes. The plot itself was entertaining for the most part, even though there were some predictable moments, especially if you have watched similar series in the past. The ending was not that great, writing-wise, but it was good enough. Lastly, thumbs up to the people responsible for the music (♪ Galileo Galileiii ♪)!

In simple words, Until I Destroy my Husband's Family is an entertaining revenge drama, that would definitely benefit from less episodes, a higher budget and a better written ending.

When payback is being handled, there will be drama!

With the drama titled "Until I Destroy My Husband's Family" the storyline points towards being a heavy revenge-driven drama. Which it definitely is!

The plot is wrapped in a slice of life- and thrilleresque way which drives forward the plot unveiling of a long scam.
Minori, the female lead, actress portrays her with so many emotions which is a huge interested from my perspective. The silent
retribution she takes is beyond gratifying!

A big part of setting the tone to the drama is the music. Both the opening and ending songs add character to the plot and is incorporated to add the finesse and the emotions when needed. Not only that, they come to be very catchy!

After finishing the show, I did believe that the drama sadly dragged on for too long. After a dramatic vengeance that was wrapped up and with various episodes to go before the end, the show lost the "spark" it previously had as it now tackled the characters trying to move on from the events. As the revenge no longer drives the story forward, romance and angst took its place. The ending wasn't perfect and turned more into soap drama.

Given that, I do think this is a fun watch if you are looking for a revenge drama with dramatics. And if the music hooks you in, you know you will be watching the story unfold!

BIKIN DARAH MENDIDIH

Demi apa ini menurutku salah satu dorama terbaik musim ini( ≧∀≦)ノ dari segi alur, cast, sampai akting semuanya keren dan bikin merinding terutama alur ceritanya yang se-mebangongkan itu( ゚ー゚)

bayangin dari awal kenal-pacaran-nikah selama 17 tahun ternyata orang yang paling lu sayang, suami, ayah dari anak lo ternyata punya keluarga lain yang sudah dia sembunyiin selama 10 tahun?! the f—((( ̄へ ̄井)

ini drama dan masalahnya cukup bikin greget, karena yang terlibat bukan cuma suami MC tapi ibu mertua juga pura-pura baik selama ini( :゚皿゚) jadi kek makin asdfghjkl banget t____t jujur ini tuh cocok banget buat yang suka tantangan selama nonton drama, wajib nonton iniiiiii!!! gamau tau.

Best cheating revenge drama

Never thought it would be this entertaining. I love all the plot twist in this the drama..
Really can't expect what comes next. Love how they arrange the story and when to reveal the secret behind everything.
If you're looking for a satisfying revenge drama, this is it. The actors really did a good job bring the character to life. I'm satisfied for every act the main character do. All the culprit get what they deserve.
The best about this drama is, it teach you in a fair way, just because you're a victim didn't mean other people didn't get hurt too. and when you think you have hurt other people, you might have hurt yourself too. :)

Fluff is not what to expect from a revenge drama, but the first half of the series can easily drained you by watching the characters slowly revealing their true characters and turning against the female lead (Minori). This makes it clear that some people are disgusting in nature to the point beyond help, and as Minori pointed out to Riko in the rooftop scene, people who hurt their closest ones don't deserve sympathy. The pain from deception and betrayal leaves a long scar that prob takes many years to heal. I was satisfied with Minori's father siding with her and helping her to fulfill her revenge, then I was dissapointed in the second half of Minori's redemption arc because she basically got swayed by a younger man who used to be her student and also her ploy for revenge. For a second, I thought I was watching chuukagusei nikki because it felt like a sudden change of narrative. Although it is entertaining to watch, the romance between them felt forced and didn't make any sense. I was happy with Minori's choice of her being independent and her belief that a woman doesn’t need a man to be happy. The story should have ended there, with Riko starting a new life with her daughter, Yudai and his mom getting their consequences, and Wataru starting his career, it would have been a satisfying conclusion.

Rating: 8/10. Watch if you like dark psychological drama around marriage and affairs.
