Soundtrack # 1 was a delight!

***This review may contain spoilers***

It is a miniseries which tells a gentle, soft and pure love story. I love how we slowly discover that Eun Soo and Sun Woo have loved each other since a long time ago. I enjoyed all the “Bonus Track” at the end of each episode. These details showed how they truly love each other. I also like the theme of loving and respecting each other. They didn’t want to confess because they don’t want to break their friendship, but they also don’t want to restrain each other to achieve their dream in their career. The ending was very satisfying to finally see them happy together!

Han Soo Hee as Eun Soo was perfect. I haven’t seen her for a long time, and I forgot that she was very charming! She portrayed Eun Soo very well. Eun Soo is lively but also sensitive. I also like how stylish she was in this series. Her hair, her makeup, her clothes and her bags fit her very well!
Park Hyung Sik as Sun Woo was also great. He portrayed the gentle, nice, caring Sun Woo very well. I especially love all the scenes he saw Eun Soo with Woo Il. He was very jealous, and it made Sun Woo livelier and funny! I did love the scene in which Eun Soo met Woo Il for work and Sun Woo insisted on drinking the orange juice that Woo Il offered to Eun Soo because he knew she didn’t like it. His acting was great, and he showed a childish side of Sun Woo, which I really love!
The other actors also did a great job and added fun scenes to the series.

Finally, I really enjoyed this series. It was short, soft and gentle. There were no villains. Everybody has great intentions. It was only about love. It was like a breath of fresh air!

Marry My Husband is a real pleasure for the eyes!

*Storyline
Marry My Husband has a great theme of the second chance. At first, I hesitated to watch this series because I was worried about the fact that it could be dark and too dramatic. The first episode showed the life of Kang Ji Won (played by Park Min Young). She had such a pitiful life. Also, her husband and best friend were despicable. To my biggest surprise, the series had many feel-good moments and it was very addictive! There are also touching moments, like when Kang Ji Won discovered that the taxi driver in the first episode was actually…her father. I was pleased to see that the story didn’t revolve only around the villains. The ending for each villain was well-written to me and they all pay for their bad actions.

*Acting & characters
First, of course, I love Kang Ji Won portrayed by Park Min Young. It was the first time that I watched a series with Park Min Young, and I understand why she is famous. She could be funny and serious, and she is also pretty! She is very cute when she smiles! I love her smile! I also love the character Kang Ji Won itself. She was nice but she wasn’t naïve. She was rather smart towards people who wanted to hurt her.
I especially love Yoo Hui Yeon (male leader’s half-sister) portrayed by Choi Gyu Ri. She was such a carefree person, and she was like sunshine for Kang Ji Won. I love the fact that she is nice and carefree but not naïve. She could see and understand the bad intentions of Jung Soo Won towards Kang Ji Won right from the beginning.
I also like Lee Suk Joon (often called Mr. Lee in the series) portrayed by Ha Do. In the beginning of the series, he seemed to be the assistant of Yoo Ji Hyuk’s grandfather. He was more present near the end of the series. I was delighted to see the development of this character. In the beginning, he always looked calm and cold. However, he turned out to be quite interesting when it comes to Ji Huyk and his love interest Yang Joo Ran. He understood Ji Hyuk very well and he always wished the best for him. I was thankful to him because he was able to see the change in Ji Huyk and convinced the grandfather to approve Ji Won and Ji Huyk’s relationship. Ha Do Kwon did a nice job here as Mr. Lee Suk Joon. His character here reminds me of his character in “Bloody Heart” as the loyal bodyguard of the crown prince (which I also enjoyed).

*Favorite Moments
I love every time Kang Ji Won succeeded against the villains! Those moments were very satisfying and feel good! It became even better when Kang Ji Won was with Ji Huyk to fight against those evil people!
I love all the scenes of Ji Huyk and his half-sister Hui Yeon. Their interactions are very fun to watch!

*The Big Bonus in this series
I also think that the art department and the wardrobe, makeup and hair department’s crew did a wonderful job and made this series even more enjoyable. To me, it was a real pleasure for the eyes! These people made a huge difference for me. Everything was beautiful to me!
I enjoyed watching all the outfits of Kang Ji Won. I found her very cute in the beginning with long hair, glasses and conservative outfits. Later, she was very elegant with short hair and her new wardrobe. Her suits and her handbags fit her very well! Besides her, I also like how Ji Huyk was dressed. He looked handsome in all his three-piece suits.
The settings like Ji Huyk’s apartment or their office always looked neat and clean. Even if Ji Huyk’s family was very rich, nothing was too much or overboard. Everything looked just elegant.
