Marry My Husband (2024)

The best time travel drama you will find

It's been a while that I found all korean drams more from the same. Most of them start really good and then goes downhill. But this one is.... a very surprinsingly execption. I was hooked from the day one until the last one. I didn't skip a single scene and I was counting the days to a new episode. And it's been a huge while since I've been like that from the beginning to the end. Why I'm saying this? Well, look around, you will see a lot of comments saying the same and this website is full of people criticizing a drama! That alone says a lot about this drama.

Okay, now that I talked about my impressions of this drama let's get to the real review and the reason on why this is pproblably the best time travel drama.

1) Plot. Although is a very "common" plot in Korea dramas nowadays, this one has a very good execution all the way until the end. The reason for that is simple: it sticks a lot to the webtoon, so besides some execeptions the director doesn't try to change a lot or mix things. So, since the webtoon had a good execution. The drama is as well. I feel like the writers were really careful in trying to stay loyalty to the webtoon. Kudos for them because it turned out very well because of it.

2) Cast. Well, what can I say about them? I think is no surprising that Park Min Young is a good actress, but jesus. I think in this drama Park Min Young set the bar high to even herself. I mean, the girl really nailed! I was so surprised by how good she was in this drama that I even paused for a second trying to understand because I didn't know she was THAT GOOD. Her chemistry with ML was good as well. The actor that played the ML was good, however I may confess I don't have much to say. But not because he didn't make a good job, is just that the others were so impressed that I wasn't so excited for the ML (or even with the romance aspect, even if they did a good job and the couple was amazing).

Saying that, I can't talk about cast without mentioning Lee Yi Kyung, who was amazing as well and stole the spotlight many times making you hate him a lot. But most of all, I couldn't talk about casting without talking about Song Ha Yoon. Someone, please, bring her an OSCAR! She was brilliant! Her scenes were incrediable and the way she portrayed the character was exactly what you would image for Soo Min! On top of it, her chemistry with Park Min Young was amazing, the scenes itself were the best in the whole drama. Really, this girl should have more lead roles in the future.

3) Music was good. But what I liked the most about the musics is that they knew exactly when and where to play it. So, the music didn't sound too repetitive or too out of nowhere just for the sake of it. Not much to say, but personally I liked a lot. Also, the scene where they discouver their identities with BTS song and then we had BTS playing was really cool. I don't like Kpop, but I found it very nice from them to use it.

4) Rewatch value? Personally I don't like to rewatch dramas, but if you are looking for something to rewatch, this one mighht be a good option.

5) Main characters and their relation - Let's just say that will end up feeling like you want something like this in your life. What MC does to FL is something that every person would dream of. He is literally perfect.

Bonus: There is no loose ends and the final episode end everything well without rushing it.

Side note: I wish they had developed one couple like the webtoon did.

Just what I was waiting for!

After a slew of really disappointing dramas, I was just waiting for that one show that will shake it all up and that was this one for me.

I was intrigued by the premise and was completely hooked by the end of episode one. I know some people love the larger than life characters but I love the quiet unassuming ones best, and this drama delivered that with the two leads. I sensed the zing with them from the very first interaction on the drama and it continued throughout. Some may call it boring, for me this is exactly what I love. I loved Soundtrack #2 for the same reasons.

I did wonder how the plot would keep moving once certain milestones were reached, and the curve ball was a surprise- though there are plenty of cliches in this show… I certainly think its been a while since I’ve seen a white truck of doom so I guess Korea is not ready to be done with that trope yet lol.

The sponsors were so overly obvious lol and I kept thinking bro come on, you can do your sponsorship job just as well, in fact better, by just being in the scene, no need to be so obnoxious!! Oh this Kopiko it tastes like real coffee and it will keep me awake ???times by a thousand hahaha.

The music was fairly low key, I mean if you are not paying attention you’ll not even notice it. There were the occasional piano pieces that were giving Crash Landing OST vibes, which was lovely.

Overall I was hooked on this from day one, I feel in love with the main couple - sometimes you see very rigid acting from PMY but I truly felt like she and NIW were very comfortable in these roles. So sweet!

I enjoyed it, on rewatch theres plenty of scenes I’d skip esp the obnoxious you know who who really isn’t even that attractive. I always wonder why money seems to make some people think they are Gods gift to society, cos it certainly wasn’t her appearance in this show. Though behavior/personality can make even a good looking person ugly.

A great show! So glad we had something to rectify the disasters being streamed on Netflix these days.

A RACE AGAINST FATE.....

A race against fate....a race against changing for the better, a journey full of healing and self reflection, a fight against your old self...all these can be used to describe marry my husband.

Marry my husband was that drama that won me over in terms of story telling with the consistency displayed and then with the relatable and diverse and complex characters and then the amazing acting displayed by every one in their own right.

The natural and unforced chemistry between th leads accompanying their beautiful and heartwarming story....

This drama will receive a full score for me because it kept me entertained all throughout....it gave me a sense of connectivity to both the story and the characters.

The ending was so beautiful and heartwarming and emotional and satisfying and amazing and poetic and I can use a million words to describe it.

The emotional and we'll thought out dialogue was also a major strength to this drama.

It has been a roller coaster ride of emotions and Iam glad to see everything being wrapped up beautifully at the end.

Marry my husband is my first kdrama of 2024 and definitely an unforgettable one....it was HOME.? Iam gonna miss my home

Feminine rage, revenge and karma

This drama is based on the webtoon by the same name but there are a few differences. It follows Kang Ji Won who is sent back ten years into the past after being betrayed by her husband and best friend. When she finds herself in 2013, she decides to change her fate but finds out that what once happened, needs to happen again in some form or another. The story is quite well-paced, but there are a few details that felt unnecessary; just some drama that felt like it was added so that the creators could reach the 16 episode mark. A few details were different from the webtoon, which was a little annoying like the fact an entire character was introduced into the drama while another one was never shown.

I've been a fan of Park Min Young's dramas for a few years so of course, I was happy to see her in this one. She did a very good job of getting you to root for Kang Ji Won. I found myself cheering her on, hoping she would get her revenge. Na In Woo does such a good job of playing the supportive male lead that will do anything for her. The two made such an adorable couple in this drama. Lee Yi Kyung, who plays Park Min Hwan (Kang Ji Won's boyfriend/2023 husband) did such a good job of playing such a trash person. Wow, I've seen him in other dramas but god, I hated his character in this. Song Ha Yoon, who plays Jung Soo Min (Kang Ji Won's horrible best friend) was so convincing as a psychotic unhinged person. I don't think I have seen her in anything else but damn, her character was so hateful in this!

I don't usually rewatch a drama unless it is one of my ultimate favourites like 'Strong Woman Do Bong Soon' but I think I may rewatch this in the future. The main couple are just so cute together! I also would enjoy going back and seeing all the things that were different because Kang Ji Won went back in time.

If you are looking for a cute romance, satisfying revenge, unhinged characters, and time travel, then this is the drama for you.

If you're given a second chance, don't run from it, SEIZE IT!

Hello readers!!
If you've been watching edits on your TLs of any platform, I suggest you bag it and actually watch this series because I can never express how I felt from ep1-16.
Marry My Husband is the adaptation of a webtoon of the same name and there are contexts of marriage, cheater scumbags and teenie tinie love triangle that was so perfectly dodged. Must I say the fantasy adds so much meaning to the storyline. The overall philosophy of adulting, work-life balance, friendships, judgements of characters and karma is too perfect
Personally the negative characters ate too good with their roles. It'll forever scar me to see them in a positive light which is the beauty and trademark of the drama.

While it may not be everyones cup of tea personally I mark this drama as probably the best kdrama of this year alone and once you're watching it, you'll see it for yourself!!

The Perfect Revenge

This drama didn't disappoint me from the start to the end! But ofc i was so nervous and angry because of characters like Min Hwan & Soo Min ●⁠_⁠_⁠●
Anyway, Loveeed it .
I want to review it in a few points:
1- every episode was full of emotions and i loved to watch Kang Ji Won raise up for herself, making some real friends, and fighting for her life.

2- every girl needs her Ji Hyuk ! What a safe place you are ㅠㅠ he was really there for her.

3- the chef and the foodie girl ( Eun Ho and Hee Yeon) were a great energetic couple, i wanted to see more of them. So cute !!

4- How charming is the lawyer : Lee Suk Joon ( ahh one of my fav men in this drama)

5- The acting was amazing, i think everyone in this cast did a great job, so well done.

6- i love how they took the wedding photos so seriously hehe, it was so elegant that you might believe it's a real wedding.

7- the perfect drama if you are bored.


I don't know why i see many negative comments from the web novel readers, so let me tell you as a reader, it's okay if tge novel and the adopted work art not the same, it's not supposed to be a copy, so enjoy them both and stop being so serious ♡

Everything must have it's place

I honestly loved the story, acting, and twists and turns in this show. The BTS on this were even more fun to watch. The 'Husband' is so wholesome in real life, and as much as the show makes you hate him, watching his interviews and the BTS of the show makes him much like Tom Felton for Harry Potter fans. They hate him as Malfoy but love him as a person.

Kang Ji Won with stage 4 cancer, and a best friend who can't live without her is dying. Her deadbeat of a husband isn't paying her medical, so she heads home, only to find her husband and best friend in bed, planning on how to spend the insurance money once she's dead.
She confronts them and, in the process, falls on a glass table, leading to her death. When she wakes up, it's 10 years earlier, and she has a second chance to forego all the bad. Her first lesson: What happened before still must happen. Her goal: Make her "Best Friend" marry her once-husband (who is currently her fiance/boyfriend? Honestly, I had trouble keeping this straight as she broke it off a few times at the start). Can she escape her fate of marrying a deadbeat cheater and find the happiness she deserves?

Yoo Ji Hyeok, her Chief Manager at work, starts to notice her, and their feelings grow. He starts to help her with her goals. He, too, has a secret.

I absolutely loved Kang Ji Won and Yoo Ji Hyeok together, and their chemistry was off the charts. His unwavering support of whatever she needed was heartbreaking to watch as he struggled with her plans, but it was heartwarming to know he trusted her reasons.

I fully recommend this as a watch albeit for older teens and adults, and not children.

SUPERB SUSPENSEFUL ROMANTIC DRAMA

Magnificent Drama. From start to finish - witty, exciting, suspenseful, romantic, life affirming. The two lead actors were spectacular to the point that they were real three-dimensional humans. Park Min-Young was such a great fighter!! She is one of my favorite actresses frim the 1st time I saw her in What's Wrong With Secretary Kim. Her match was Na In Woo, who I had not seen before, but he was fantastic - super handsome, kind, considerate, brilliant, a planner, romantic!!

I loved her dad, his smile just charmed me. Wouldn't it be nice to have such a person in your life?

There are so many key aspects to this show - romance, destruction, redemption, memories, evil, greed, jealousy, love, friendship, protection. You will not have one dull moment.

Shout out to other key players - the evil duo were fantastic; the lawyer and the lady I think he loves - but why no confession?, the incredibly handsome, sweet, sincere chef and the ebullient cheeky sis, the judo friends, the jealous creepy woman - who could like her?

Plus, what I always crave in a romantic drama but rarely happens. This drama delivered in spades.

From start to finish, you will wish for no interruptions and want to spend 16 hours in sheer bliss.

Thank you to all cast, writers, production teams, writers, subtitlists, sound, music, sets, .... I know that like What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, that I will return to this drama again and again for an uplifting, dramatic, oft scary, romantic roller coaster ride.

Note that I've now placed all of Na In Woo's ouvre in my queue.

Second Chances

Park Min Young once again brings her A-game along with a very strong cast. This drama is technically a Revenge drama but it's so much more nuanced than that.

The female lead is killed by her husband and then wakes up in 2013 and realises she has the opportunity to live the time again and do things differently. The drama has a really interesting take on "fate" - where other dramas might note that you can't shake your fate, in this drama the female lead realises that while you can't shake it - you can try and shift it to other people and in that escape it. From there, a very clever game of manipulation starts to take place moving all the pawns around to try and shift her fate and make a better life.

I really enjoyed the plot, i've kinda binge watched it over a couple of days because I was hooked, I wouldn't say it's a complex plot - there's plenty there but you're not going to get a headache trying to keep up. It's technically time travel, but again, this is very understandable and watchable without a physics degree :)

Park Min Young is always excellent, paired with Na In Woo, who frankly towers over her. His character starts out dull and lifeless but just as Park Min Young's character undergoes a transformation so does Na In Woo - though he does struggle to set aside the plastic personality a bit, it definitely improves.

Standouts for me in the cast other than the leads were Song Ha Yoon who plays the utterly unhinged best friend, once you've watched this - go and contrast her performance towards the start of the drama with who she is towards the end, really talented actor.

Lee Yi Kyung is always a favourite to watch but where normally he's doing comedic stuff this is really quite nasty and a very different side. Done well. I was still expecting him to yell "CAJA!!!" and run off though... (hopefully you'll get the reference).

Last one - Choi Gyu Ri - incredibly bubbly character and just brought a lot of light and fun to scenes she was in.

Music was excellent throughout, frequently found myself banging the arms on my chair with the rhythm of some of the upbeat songs it has, but there's a nice range in the OST.

Overall, well worth the watch!

The best of 2024!

Having watched numerous revenge dramas and stories featuring characters getting a second chance at life, I was pleasantly surprised by the unique twist that Marry My Husband brought to the table. From start to finish, this series was thrilling. Every episode left me eagerly anticipating the next, craving more of the gripping storyline.

What really impressed me was the balanced portrayal of power dynamics between the "good and evil" characters. Unlike some dramas where the main character is bullied until they finally fight back in the end, the main leads in this drama hit the ground with their boxing gloves on.

In my opinion, Marry My Husband stands out as one of the best dramas of 2024 so far. Its fresh approach and thrilling storyline make it a must-watch for fans of the genre.
