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.
