So many cringe scenes is right! They both lack the kind of character or personality that makes you want to know more. After the 1st episode, I don't want to see more of her or more of him or his mother. They're all a mess.

Exactly. Why should she have to answer for her great grandfather? She didn't pick the family she was born into. None of us did. What is she supposed to do about her lineage. It won't change history.

Couldn't agree more. Bland, timid, even lifeless. Toned down, dull.

The series had so much promise. Lots of villians. Mysterious plot. Great actors. It definitely didn't live up to its potential. The love story included!

In the last scene, the carabiner clip handing on her bag (camera zoomed in on it) is a major clue to their ongoing love. The open ending was giving away a big spoiler with the clip. Their love is not over..

For starters, the kidnapper is a full-on psycopath with hair trigger anger. He just murdered the shop owner where he was buying a knife.

I agree. For me, this drama is one of the standouts so far in 2026. Most dramas grow tiring midway through. Not the case with The Husband!

I'm glad this has become one of July 2026's most talked about K-dramas. It earns it every week. Not the usual pablum that so many k-dramas serve up. Kim Dae Myung is nailing it. Namkoong Min is oozing with mysterious qualities. Lee Seol is showing amazing range - no makeup, wet, dirty PJ's as almost her only outfit through Ep. 6. She is very compelling. Written well - the plot has you fooled week after week.

I love that the men and women on this dating show have interesting and varied careers (that was true on S1 as well). So many Kdating shows feature mainly models, wanna be actors/actresses and dancers. It's refreshing to see a better cross section of the country represented. It's a very organic and "real" look at Korean moms as well and showcases what relationships between sons and their mothers and daughters and their mothers really look like. It's also very compelling to see mature contestants seriously looking for marriage. So many Korean dating shows feature men under 26 years of age and/or women in their very early 20's.

Why do they have a 29 and 32 year old playing the two male high school rivals? I get that they look young, but if the premise of the drama is high school, the casting seems off.....

I think a lot of men in their 30's are thinking about children so pairing up with women in their 40s might not be successful.

I very much agree with your opinion. The show was amazing at the start, lost its charm in the middle and never recovered. I think it could have been awesome from start to finish if it was a time travel drama where a Josean woman finds herself in modern Korea. Instead we got the soul swap/reincarnation muddle taking up most of the oxygen.

So true. Very few have a 10 out of 10 beginning, middle and end. What are your favorite Kdrama's of all time?

I'm just the opposite. I'm way more interested in the modern tinmeline and its comedy! I guess this drama has something for all of us.

I would say that this is one of the sleeper hits of the season. On paper, the write-up didn't sound that appealing. And it didn't seem like the actors cast for ML and FL would have much chemistry. Not true! They're bringing the heat! The drama is quirkly, unexpected and enjoyable. It's outside the box in some surprising ways.

So far the Perfect Crown is delivering "perfectly!" The locations, cinematology, lighting, camera work are magnificent. The writing is catchy and entertaining and the ML and the FL are creating sparks and chemistry. It's the best rom com drama I've watched in 2026. I can see why it's doing so well in Korea and globally.

She looks extremely emaciated. It's almost painful to see someone so thin. She does seem like an odd choice for a show about bread, pastries & desserts. She seems better suited for a show about extreme weight loss...

This is a fun and unique dating show. The contestants have real jobs other than model or influencer. It's such a refreshing change from Singles Inferno. The scandal of one of the female contestants is such a shame. She lied on the application forms so it's on her and not the production team. In spite of this, I thing it has legs to run on for many seasons. The mothers' participation and all of the intertwining dynamics seems authentic and entertaining. I'm looking forward to season two!

It's crazy that the guys aren't turned off by her insecurity, need for attention and insincerity. She goes after multiple men in front of everyone. It's surprising that they are not tuning her out.

You make an amazing point! Only because we were allowed to live can we be for or against anything.
