A New Low for Me (to finish watching this)
*note: I have never watched any other version, since others saying this is a “Marry My Husband “ remake, so I don’t have anything to compare
I thought Samantha’s role in Queen of News was interesting (kind of grey character) so I was interested to see this one where she is the FL (I also watched her in the variety show Joyful Grownups 2 and found her charming there). I am a native Mandarin speaker but my ancestral homeland is south enough (and dialect close enough) that I can reasonably understand Cantonese. But I don’t know if it’s a cultural thing or what but this story was just way too out there.
I get that she “travels back” to before she marries that gross Mark but just how much does she need to put up with?!? I guess that’s the beauty of this is to show anyone (male or female) that being a pushover does you no good. Also the show spent too long on the Ryan crushing on FL (I think they keep spelling her name Senna), that was just completely unnecessary. I did like in her “second” timeline that she was able to show up that stupid Sherman multiple times, from the classmates’ reunion to even her wedding (who was the one who told Sherman’s mom? That’s still a mystery to me). Her blaming Senna for her miscarriage was just the ultimate pinnacle of despicableness (thanks Sherman’s mom for once). Finally she gets fired.
The worst is the ending. Although Sherman finally does the right thing in the end, you don’t know what happens to her after she’s in the coma (she is now penniless and a vegetable). That despicable Mark is also not (yet) punished by the law but you only just know he is chased by the creditors. Although big bro finally “turns around” in jail, that was just way too easy. ML and FL are finally together but so lame - the only kiss the entire show was that accident from many episodes ago. Even the villains got so much more action than they did.
That ending song was horrible and really grated me (hence just one star for music). It was just so corny!
I do regret watching but unfortunately I am a never dropper so had to finish (also hated the speed these episodes came out). Better off watching Queen of News or Themis.
