When Life Gives You Second Change, GRAB IT!!
I watched it mainly cuz of its REBIRTH/ TIME TRAVEL concept and cuz am a huge fan of it, Yes this can be a new thing to some people watching it, but to me, it wasn't, there are many..like over 40 short Cdramas (full version) are available on YT and other platforms, that are based on same REBIRTH concept (am calling it rebirth cuz FL dies and then travels back in time so you find these dramas labeled as rebirth Chinese dramas on YT). I LOVE THIS concept as it's very fascinating as life gives a second chance to dumb/innocent/naive FLs who ignore all red flags that their partners give in a relationship, in the name of love. They get a chance to correct their mistakes and to fight back. But some FLs still get bullied and go through shit as they are very soft-hearted..(they are hopeless). well in most of these dramas FL becomes badass and shows no mercy on people who wronged her, that's why I enjoy watching these dramas. They all have pretty much the same story, FL's boyfriend and best friend/stepsister have an affair behind her back, and later they kill FL, ML is someone who had a crush on FL but either got rejected or never expressed his feelings to her, he tries to save her but either ends up dying with her or after punishing people who killed her (su***de)cuz he cant live without her. mostly only FL travels back in time, sometimes even ML goes back in time but that's very rare. Even though the concept is the same I watched over 40 movie-length dramas cuz after traveling back in time FL has a UPPER HAND most of the time as she knows what whats gonna happen and who scheming against her, whom to trust and who not to trust. evil-doers keep worrying about FL's attitude change and they can't wrap their heads around how she knows everything and why she behaving the way she is. and that's SOO MUCH FUN!!This show had all these things that are expected but as it isn't a short story and had to make 16 long episodes they added a lot of extra but entertaining things like stories of side characters, FL's every emotion is shown clearly like how hurt she was cuz of her best friend's betrayal and they even showed how soo-min handled her family as a wife by continuing to manipulate her husband and mother-in-law. there were some WTF moments like how Min Hwan reacted when he thought Ji Won was pregnant with his child vs how he reacted when he thought Soo-Min was pregnant that difference is very bizarre. I did watch the webtoon but won't comment on it as we still dunno if they gonna show the same thing or not so I better refrain from mentioning my thoughts based on the webtoon. I hope they use better reasoning in the show though, in the last 3 episodes.
I also want to mention that they chose very talented cast members, I like the FL(actor)( watched all her shows), her foodie bestie, and her school crush. oh yeah, how can I forget the most entertaining character of all Park Min Hwan..haha he is a hilarious, Waikiki show guy right? All his roles are entertaining.

Finding your own happiness
Kang Ji Won taking her revenge, growing and finding her own peace and happiness is all very dear to me. Her character was just so wonderful and wholesome, I am so happy she found her happiness and took back control of her own life. This show was really good from start to finish, even if episode 12 was maybe a little rough for our couple – I didn’t care and it wasn’t even as bad as people said, honestly, some were incredibly dramatic lmao.Ji Won finding two new girl-friends was just so pure and beautiful, and all three of them being happy in the end fulfilled me too! I wish we would have gotten more of Eun Ho x Hee Yeon and Mr. Lee x Mrs. Yang because they were all so cute in their own way, but the show didn’t give them as much room 😔. I also think that BoA is not very suitable as an actress for this role, her acting was really bland compared to Song Ha Yoon and Park Min Young, who acted like rent was due. Overall, very satisfied with this show, I am happy to know that it was successful and that we got the most beautiful K-Drama wedding ever!❣️
----
This rant is from a couple weeks ago lol, anyway:
One thing that has bothered me a lot while reading the comments on this page, is that people seem to be too focused on the "taking revenge" part of the story. In my opinion this show isn't about revenge, it's about self-discovery and self-growth. It's about finding peace, and getting rid of something that has ruined you before but that you won't let define you this time. In her previous life, Ji Won put herself last, not even second or third, but last. She was never her own priority, people walked all over her, she got sick and then she was accidentally killed (but how much longer until MH and SM actually killed her?). In her second life she gets a new chance. She gets to get rid of SM and MH, yes, but she also gets to change her appearance, she gets to learn and do new things, she gets to enjoy life, she gets to meet new people who truly appreciate her, she gets to find her inner peace without needing anyone's apology in order to get it.
Her newly found self isn't perfect, and we see how it's a slow progress because she was abused (twice) after all. People complaining why she didn't leave MH once she travelled back are so... annoying? Are you watching the show? Do you understand the characters? SM is a scumbag because she likes taking things and people away from Ji Won. It happened with Eun Ho in highschool and it happened again when she stole her "other half's" husband. If MH isn't Ji Won's, there is no fun is stealing him from Ji Won. Because THAT is the catch. SM is truly a deranged and nasty woman because she does everything in her power to isolate JW from anyone so that she is the only person ever (which is, surprise, pretty abusive).
Ji Won is playing mind games, planting insecurity and at the same time a sense of superiority into SM and MH's minds. They THINK she has no idea, but of course she does. That's the whole plan. Ji Won is not a weak woman here, she's a victim of abuse - several kinds of abuse actually: domestic, emotional, physical. Like, she's BEEN through it. And you want her to be normal about it? Do you think she's healed in 2 seconds just because she took revenge and found a decent man? You don't heal from stuff like this that quickly. Sometimes, it comes back. And we get to see that from time to time.
That's it, anyway, the show is great. I like the visuals and the acting as well as the OST! The cinematography is also great, especially in E11 when JW and JH went to the beach 🥰🥹 I'll go more in depth once the show is over.

LOVE IT!!
This is my first time doing something like this, so I'll keep it simple (or try to ;))10/10 story:
I love the plot, and the small details hidden within it, for ex. Ji-Hyuk as a heart tattoo just like that Ji-wons dad would draw hearts on money. When the series is based on a webtoon I always expect something really good and this is delivered ( I'm even reading the webtoon lmao). I like how the webtoon resembles the K-drama a lot and that they didn't skip any part (not that I know of at least, so correct me if I'm wrong). I still have at least 6 episodes to go and I'm still interested in the plot (which is a miracle) so I think this drama deserves all the attention it gets. Also, I love Ji-Hyuk's and Ji-won's cute reveal (watch to know otherwise)
10/10 acting:
Of course, a rom-com isn't a rom-com without the rom-com queen Min Young!! I personally love her. The acting is also a 10/10 bcs of the way I raged in the first ep with Min-Hwan and Soo-Min (and throughout the whole series because of these two I swear...). They (the two actors that acted Min Hwan and Soo-Min) portrayed their hateable characters well and that's a talent.
10/10 OST:
I don't find anything bad or good in osts, I don't think it matters but in short, I don't listen or pay attention to the posts.
Rewatch Value 10/10:
I think this is rewatchable but I don't like rewatching series myself.
overall:
funny, has great acting, and gets you hooked.

04/02/2024 (Feb).
Am really enjoying this so far as it is more about older adults (early 40s) going back 10 years to try and fix things whereas other drama series like: Twinkling Watermelon and A Time Called You are about adults going back to their teens to try and make changes to divert the future in some way.
Honorable mention:
Oh No! Here Comes Trouble -
This is another excellent drama series up there like TW and ATCY only it is about a teenage boy that survives a horrific bus accident with the same supernatural ability as his grandfather - no time travel in it plus it is about saving "souls" , however, it is just as fantastic!
Now back to Marry My Husband...
It is good plus each episode delivers something worth your attention - especially episode 10 which has whopper after whopper moments in it. Talk about getting what you want when it comes to revenge and cutting ties once and for all.
Am hoping this drama stays on track and doesn't digress as have been reading a few rumours as of late. No no no!
What I haven't liked in it so far is the overuse of someone liking someone else because of being smitten over something like a dog or kitten - why keep the kitten outdoors when it clearly has no shelter (at first) and also when it starts to snow?!?! It is totally cruel and makes no sense. Either take it to an animal shelter or home.
SPOILER ALERT!
I also don't like that the General Manager who is in love with Ji Won is doing nothing to save himself - when you think about it he is pretty much in the same boat as her and in order to LIVE the price is a "death for a death."
What else?
Although I don't think the female lead is attractive (plain face) she does nerdy, teen, mousy wife to a strong female really really well, however, becoming a strong woman due to a haircut or makeover is highly unlikely and especially overnight.
The female that plays her so called "best friend" does a good job of showing just how someone can be all innocent yet underneath is totally twisted and dangerous. Kind of like one character in "Beauty From Gangnam" (I think) only maybe a bit more over the top.
Am so glad I have never had a single friend like that in my life!
Anyhow, each episode is well paced, has no real unnecessary fillers and keeps you wanting more.
Well worth watching!

From okay to amazing in a few episodes
I will say that for the first few episodes I wasn’t super invested in this drama, but I’m glad I continued to watch. Everything becomes worth it around episode 5. I like that the lead isn’t too hesitant on getting back at the ones who wronged her. Male lead is adorably protecting her at all costs and the choices he makes become extremely understandable after a while. The antigonists suck and the actors do a great job showing that. The plot itself is very well connected. Can’t wait for more!Was this review helpful to you?
Lacklustre
Oh dear - I suppose I'm in the minority when I say that I had to drop this show in disgust. Terribly underwhelming and lacklustre all around. Ironic really given the popularity of this show, but ultimately it just never managed to escape the shadow of its precursor, Perfect Marriage Revenge. Go figure!Was this review helpful to you?
"This is undoubtedly one of the best K-dramas you'll ever watch!"
"Marriage My Husband" is an absolute masterpiece that delivers an exceptional viewing experience. The show boasts of a well-crafted plot that keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. The exceptionally talented cast brings the characters to life with their impressive performances.Some people may say that they are disappointed and want to get it over with. However, I believe that those who say that have either not watched the drama entirely or have a tasteless taste in stories.
The show is a perfect blend of great music and superb cinematography that provides a visual treat for the audience. It has everything that one could desire, including drama, revenge, love, frustration, sadness, anger, and much more. It's an adrenaline rush that will stay with you for a long time.
I strongly recommend watching this show without any spoilers, as the chemistry between the leads builds slowly and sweetly. Ji-Won's character is an inspiration for career-minded women, as she bands together with other women rather than fighting for individual recognition. The villains' characters are excellently portrayed, with moments where you can empathize with their situation and others where you want to punch them.
In conclusion, I would confidently rate this drama a solid 10000 out of 10. It's a masterpiece that deserves multiple viewings, and I'm confident that you won't regret giving it a try.

If you read the webtoon, I know your feelings...
I personally was expecting more as I have read the whole manhwa on it.The scenario at the end isn't the same as the manhwa. It is adapted so it makes sense about a little twist but I was expecting it to be same as the manhwa. A little disappointing but the series is amazing. I thought I knew the story well but there were changes. TBH webtoon was better than the drama but drama did complete few missing things from the webtoon.
The plot about the revenge , rebirth , second chance and many things about the plot is amazing.
Acting is nice. Story is nice.
Overall I give it a 4.3/5
A kdrama worth watching after a long break from it.
Until the end it kept me waiting...
It would be amazing if there is a second season highlighting a story regarding the supporting characters.

another marriage revenge drama done well!!
at first i thought its going to be exactly like perfect marriage revenge since it had almost all the same conflicts but marry my husband has done well to differentiate it from pmr. pmr was more focused on them healing from the trauma (mostly the fl) and they didn't have to change themselves much. here both our ml and fl had to learn things on their own, heal by themselves and decide how to change their destines. the characters were well developed from the 1st ep to last. the change jiwon has from the helpless naive girl to a happy and smart woman, jihyuk from a shy guy to a man who is not afraid to take chances. even the villains are well developed. sumin and minhwan are such complex villains, i could talk abt how great of a character sumin was. there is a question to ask, would u rather be a girl like jiwon(past one) or a girl like sumin when you face someone like minhwan. all the other side characters were good too. my only problem with the show is how anti-glasses they are. like be real, their glasses DID NOT make them unattractive. anyways so satisfying to see the revenge, here is to more revenge dramas

Trust No One
Jung Soo Min is best described as a FRENEMY ... Love with your head not just your heart!I am not really good at pronunciation
Korean Names , but that lady, the victim (main character) ... Am so glad she got a second chance to life and paid back her so-called boyfriend and friend in their own coin
She gave them the taste of their own medicine and they choked 😂😂😂
Though I am curious , if they returned from 2023 to the year 2013, does that mean that the other characters returned as well???
I would love some clarity on that aspect

Restored Balance through a Renewed Fate
This revenge romance thrill ride hinges moreso on awareness in creating a fair balance against those who have manipulative and distructive schemes. The leads and supporting cast were wonderful in conveying such a layered ebb and flow of tension and emotional impact. Soo Mins character was noteworthy and memorable. Ji Wons character was iconic. The performances were not assumptive or tropie. The chemistry between the leads felt destined which was heartfelt and compassionate. The edge that the writers brought in through subtle twists made every minute and the redemption end satisfying. It was cinematically brilliant at points that mattered most. Well Done, cast, crew and production!!! THIS IS A MUST WATCH!Was this review helpful to you?
