"Marry My Husband" is the story of Ji Won, a woman who feels inferior at work and at home. She supports her family, even though she is mistreated by her husband and mother-in-law. One day, Ji Won discovers that she has terminal cancer and, while she is in the hospital, she has no idea that her husband is cheating on her with Su Min, her best friend. She caught them together and was killed at that moment. In a twist of fate, Ji Won goes back in time to before all this happened and gets a second chance at life to change everything. The only problem is that she has to give her fate to someone else.
The interesting thing is not the time travel, as many dramas do that, but the issue of changing fate: she cannot change the things that will happen, but she can change the person it will happen to. Ji Won's plan is incredible: she saved herself and even got her revenge. Min Hwan and Su Min got what they deserved, and Ji Won got her happy ending.
Ji Won and Ji Hyuk are a cute couple with great chemistry, but for me the romance isn't the focus, since Ji Won's revenge plan is more important than that. Seeing her transform into a strong and independent woman, and no longer a victim, was worth it.
This was a drama full of controversies, the funny thing is that none of this was because of the story, but because of the actors. Let's be honest, this is ridiculous. I like South Korea, but I hate the importance of public opinion, the power they have in the entertainment world, to the point that anything can destroy someone's career... that's exactly why the suicide rate is so high.
Instead of focusing on Park Min Young and Na In Woo's amazing acting, the only thing people mentioned was Min Young's ex-boyfriend and that In Woo was too ugly to be the lead. Where does that make sense? But the important thing is really the drama, and I have to say that it's a great production.
