It was good until ....
Feb. 20, 2024
Marry My Husband could have been that A/S-tier Kdrama of 2024. So much hopes and endearment for this drama until it crashed and meticulously added unnecessary plots during its episodes 12-15.5.
As someone who have read the webtoon, I did expect changes to the plot. However, I still believe that even after reading the webnovel version as well. The webtoon is just the best version of Marry My Husband.
Now on the good of the Kdrama version:
- The first 12 episodes were done well.
- Even with the subtle changes of the plot, you can tell that everything was moving at a desirable pace the keeps you hooked until the latter episodes.
- The growth of the characters were also well done during this portion of the series
- The subplots were amazing and were still connected to the main plot. In a sense, that it gives more flavour. More texture to the series. (talking only about up to ep 12)
The bad:
- Yura's subplot single handedly ruined the show for me.
- I personally hated all of her scenes, and it just made me skip everything and put it on fast-forward.
- I love BoA as an idol but oh my god, her acting skills did not help either with Yura's character. It made everything so bland, annoying, like she is not giving anything. Her expression were bland. I just think that maybe if a different actress portrayed Yura, then maybe I would have liked her subplot more. ?♂️ I still think that Sumin was the better villain and she's all the villain that we needed to be honest.
- The disappearance of the other characters subplot. Yes I am hoping that the kdrama could at least cover the lovestory of Eun-ho and Hui Yeong as well as the female manager who got divorced from her husband. I just wished that at least they followed and gave details like the webtoon did. I feel like these two subplots could have easily outshined and taken over whatever length of airtime that Yura took.
Rewatch quality? Yea of course Ill rewatch this again. Only ep 1-12 then jump ep 15.5-16
Overall feeling I really just wished they sticked to the webtoon version. I could have taken a 14 episodes instead of 16 episodes if that means Yura will be removed from the storyline.
