Regression Done Right (Mostly)
Okay, first off, regression plots own my soul. The second I saw Marry My Husband was about past-life regrets and second chances, I knew I was signing up for this ride. And let me tell you—it did NOT disappoint. This drama had me so hooked that I literally subscribed to the webtoon just so I could devour the original story ASAP. That’s how deep we’re in.
What I Loved
1. Kang Ji Won & Yoo Ji Hyuk’s Relationship: The way they built up Ji Won (Park Min Young) and Ji Hyuk (Na In Woo) was EVERYTHING. Like, they didn’t just throw them together for some romance fluff—they actually established their motivations in a way that made sense. They weren’t just randomly helping Ji Won for the sake of it; they were actively trying to change fate, and it made all their decisions feel justified.
2. Ji Won’s Growth: The slow but solid transformation from pushover to boss queen? Loved it. Watching her ditch her trash fiancé Park Min Hwan (Lee Yi Kyung) and fake bestie Jung Soo Min (Song Ha Yoon) was SO satisfying. The stocks investment? Genius move. The way she started speaking up at work and actually earning respect? GO GIRL. Nothing better than a female lead realizing she deserves better and actually doing something about it.
What Didn’t Work For Me
1. Ji Hyuk’s Fiancée, O Yu Ra: Listen, I get that they wanted to stick close to the novel, but adding her into the mix just made things messy for no reason. Min Hwan and Soo Min were already carrying the villain roles perfectly fine—why throw in extra chaos? The webtoon’s simpler approach was just better, period.
2. The Cutesy Act for Ji Won: I don’t know why they thought making Ji Won extra soft and cute was necessary, but it kinda killed the vibe. Park Min Young is amazing, but the innocent victim thing was a little forced—she didn’t need to act all delicate to make her struggles feel real.
3. The Grandfather Drama: WHY do chaebol dramas always need the skeptical grandpa subplot? Like sir, just look up her profile, she is literally your employee. The detective side quest was so unnecessary, and it felt like filler for drama’s sake.
Final Thoughts
Overall? Loved it. Not perfect, but still solid. If you’re into revenge plots with actual emotional depth, this one delivers. Just mentally prepare yourself for some unnecessary drama bits that’ll make you roll your eyes.
