Watched this from "recommendations" on my Prime. I was a skeptical at first, having no experience with the language or Korean dramas. It's funny, but after the first episode, you forget you're watching subtitles.

This is incredibly well-written and well acted. It grabs your emotions and makes you invest in the characters. There's enough back story to explain things without it going off on to some uninteresting tangent. There is great chemistry between actors (not just the lead ones) and an amazing sense of anticipation. Just when you think you know what's going to happen, a twist comes in. Realistic twists, not some far-fetched thing to wrap up a side story.

As soon as my phone pings, I'm on the tv to watch it full screen. I haven't felt such anticipation for a show in a very long time.

It's a fantasy revenge drama about a woman who witnesses the affair between her best friend and her husband, and is murdered by them, she goes back in time to change her future and seek revenge.

This kdrama is also based on webtoon. (This has became new trend), but as per webtoon readers, makers have done some changes.

You get invested in the drama from 1st scene.

Story progresses with ample twists & turns, though we already know where it is heading.

Casting of Park Min-young as FL and Lee Yi-kyung as main villain is perfect. Specially Lee Yi-kyung is not only good in his villainous acts but he was equally good in comedy scenes. Park Min-young does what she is famous for. Her acting is perfect.

Na In-woo has wooden face but he is ok as lead as his only duty is to support FL. Good enough romantic scenes between leads.

1st female villain, is good in dramatic scenes but she screamed a lot, which was annoying.

In later episodes they bring another female vamp, which is not needed, she just increases the screen time.

It's a soap opera type kdrama, good watch for kdrama lovers.

Supporting cast is good. Drama ends with predictable happy ending. I enjoyed watching it.

I've seen manhwa adoptions before (both with actors, as well as in animated form). Some better than others but when I stumbled over this one on my prime account, I dropped my viewing plans and cleared my schedule and watched the first 3 episodes (hours).

I don't know if it's the score (music), the scrip (that looks like it holds hand in hand with its source (love that 👌) or if the actors, direction or lighting and stylist had a finger in making this magical. Perhaps all of the above because it just CLICKED for me. I got swept off into the story, it took me where I first went in the manhwa and I couldn't say any negatives about it,

Sure, Su-min doesn't have her "pink'ish" hair, nor does a-hole of the year not his brown'ish hair but the actors ARE these characters. I have NO trouble believing them or notice who is who from a glance since the behavior (dirty or sweet) shines through everyone of the main cast.

Deep respect for the actors here. Not sure if they read the manhwa and laughed, cried and raged at some characters and that's why they are so incredibly adjusted to just BE THEM! But everyone had me mimic their faces. I was so caught up in it! Sumin pouted and I wondered why my brows hurt: I was glaring at her while at the same time "mirrored" her pout because I was so deeply invested into it.

When our heroine cried, feared or raged internally I "felt" all those emotions and was sobbing at several points, to the point that I had to apologize to the rest of the house that I just found a REALLY GOOD series, so that's why there is cheering, shouting and crying 😅

Needless to say, I cannot speak highly enough for this.

I know some will take issue with the lack of hair color on a few character, however I understand and have to respect the different culture of "blending in" rather than looking like a peacock in between shoots (or have horribly wigs that fans would perhaps also fault them for).

Read the webtoon version, then came across the drama version. Thoroughly enjoyed it . The pure acting, expression and overall everything was flawless.

The cast did a great job. I absolutely dislike Koreans for their boycott culture if some scandalous comes up in someone's personal life. Whatever the actress does in Ber personal life doesn't matter as long as her performance is worthy!

Everyone worked impeccably to ensure the drama was a great success. The couple's chemistry is explosive, and despite many transformations, the plot nevertheless stays together and entices viewers to watch more episodes. I'm eager for the scenes of REVENGEEEE and for the couple to start dating. I'm engrossed in the drama.

This had incredible acting but I REALLY enjoyed how wonderful the storyline and directing was. Many newer series don't have anywhere near the creativity and enjoyment this show had. THANK YOU SO MUCH! There was drama but also some fun along the way, It was so nice to to see a story that yes had some tension but the viewers also had the opportunity to cheer on those who had been victimized in the past.

Most people have normal challenges to deal with but it was so heart warming to watch those who had been abused and hurt overcome and come out the winners. Everyone got what they deserved and it would be hard to not have a smile when this story ended.

The headline actually mean, the movie is awesome... I actually forgot I was watching a subtitled movie. All cast actions are good ... Have always Love park Min-young movies.... But this is just so nice and interesting.... Plus the funny scenes made it so lively.... Kudos to all casts.

The most scene that made me Wowwww was episode 9...... The twist in the episode, suspense and the enthusiasm that comes from the plot is . Let's just say I love the movie so much and I hope the writer will continue writing more interesting stories. Job weldone to all cast and crew for being positive and good....

I honestly had very little expectations for this, but it's surprisingly kept me interested so far. It's got comfortable pacing, nothing moves too fast or too slow. There is no dragging or overextending of emotional moments, it feels like everything is moving just right.

At the same time, I have to say I really dislike the tendency of kdramas to "justify" the main couple by throwing in flashbacks of how they've actually met before. Marry my husband joins other very good and prominent dramas with this cardinal cringy sin, which I completely dislike. I think it even takes away from the plot.

Otherwise, I really like and feel inspired by the storyline of having the second chance to do your life all over- and I really like that the main character does a full makeover physically and mentally. She questions her own past actions and decides she is going to fight for herself. She chooses to no longer be a pushover, and tries finding people who deserve her. I think it's really fitting to have this drama released in this day and age.

I heard it's a webtoon adaptation- I don't really know much about the webtoon so I can't comment on how well it was adapted. Regardless, the drama stands pretty well on its own, in my opinion.

I don't know even where start. Couple years ago had the chance to read the manhwa, and I was so into the story. What a wonderful news when it came out the notice that we would see it on live action. And from the first episode, OMG, the chosen actors were so on point. The script its so similar to the original one. I've been screaming like a crazy, getting mad, crying. And my heart can't wait to see the next episodes each week. The story is very shocking, and you can easily get into Jiwoon's life, understand her, and get encouraged with her, hoping that she can recover the life that she could live once before, being happy, and be loved. Many of us has experienced betrayal from a loved one, and that's why this kdrama is so loved and expected every week. I highly recommend this show, and manhwa.

Kang Ji-Won (Park Min-Young) is married to Park Min-Hwan (Lee Yi-Kyung), who is very lazy and in debt with a useless father and appaling mother. Kang Ji-Won discovers she is terminally ill then catches her husband and her only friend Jung Soo-Min (Song Ha-Yoon) in bed together. She accidentally dies and is re-born ten years previously. She decides to change her "new" life by making Jung Soo-Min marry Park Min-Hwan. She also gains in confidence and determination.

Now what I have not seen anywhere in any of previous reviews is the comedy of this series. Touted as a Revenge drama - yes I suppose it is. BUT I never stopped laughing as it was so totally unreal and the brilliant acting of the husband, Park Min-Hwan (Lee Yi-Kyung), is just so good. Don't know how they managed to keep a stright face even filming this as I was just folded over in laughter. As far I am concerned its a COMEDY!

Korean audio English subtitles.

Finally a k-drama that is working towards breaking down the misogynistic modalities of the k-dramas that came before it! While this series cannot be classed as truly feminist, I do applaud a step in the right direction that it offers. Besides from being socially responsible, in that it is not working to actively promote the patriarchy like so many other k-drama's, it's also very entertaining and for me thoroughly enjoyable. It was suitably gut wrenchingly awful at times and heartwarming at others. You know that lovely cathartic process, or a cleansing of emotions that one comes to expect when watching a k-drama. Thank you for an excellent delivery.

The writing goes downhill ever since episode 8, and goes downhill fast. It seems they are trying to drag the plot longer because the it was received well initially.

The later writing really convinced me that the main character deserves to have a tragic life and die. It's all because of her terrible personality.

Imagine someone gives up at the first sight of difficulty, refuse to listen to any explanation and deeply involved in her own beliefs and refuses to listen to any reasoning. Also makes audacious assumptions and don't even bother to prove if those assumptions are right or wrong. Hey I have an assumption and I'll just live by it. That's what her sounds like.

It's horrible too watch at the later episodes. You always wonder how they can write her so bluntly stupid just in order to push the story longer mindlessly.

This show really started on a high note, it was refreshing and the acting was great. But it let its own success shadowed the whole show.

I loved the webtoon so much so i was pretty excited when this released. But man I was disappointed. The lead actress seems timid and watered down version of what was actually the character of ji won. The lead protagonist is supposed to change after coming back from dead. But I see no oomph or pizzaz or badass attitude in her. Miscasting imo. For other characters i pretty much like them. This is just my opinion. I have seen another manhwa which was adapted into a drama but loved everything about it. But this drama doesn't tick all the boxes for me. Its just fit for a one time watch if you are having leisure time.

Park Min Young babygirl you will always be famous! Finally a role that fully showcases all her acting chops. Need a tragic, miserable character that's going through the worst time of their life? Do you want to then see said character fight back and grow and figure out how to be happy in her own terms? Wanna see a slow burning love story with all the kdrama romance magic? Well then this is the drama for you! I absolutely loved it, even the makjang-esque parts of the plot. The secondary characters were also incredibly well written and were lovely in their own way getting their own full thought out stories. I'm giving it a 9 only because I think the story could have been balanced differently and also I didn't love the male leads acting. I think with a different lead next to Park Min Young this would be even better. But besides that it's great!

The fantasy storyline is beautifully translated by actors, directors and of course the writer. Very captivating story, absolutely entertaining. It raises the question, what will you do with your second chance if given one. It is best to take action and make decisions that you won't regret whatever challenges it may bring. The positive and assertive action taken by FL definitely influenced all the good people around her, most especially the ML who is normally seen as boring, though he has all the money and power anyone will ever have. Basically whatever you are or do, don't be anyone's doormat. Good one to watch again.

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.

Marry My Husband is incredible. The performance of P,MY and the rest of the cast are impeccable. Each one brought something different to make the drama a huge success. The chemistry between the couple explodes and even with many changes from Manhaw, the story holds and makes us want to watch more episodes. I can't wait for the revenge scenes and for the couple to actually get together. I read Manhaw and I'm loving the drama. I just hope there's no love triangle and that the protagonist's grandfather isn't a bore. I hope it only gets better and the ratings continue to grow. May Marry My Husband win the world.

There were some good moments in this show and plenty of positives but so many ideas weren't handled fully. The changing of fate and some of the love plots for example. The baddies carried the show more than the goodies but the decisions of the crackers of the made no sense.

I didn't feel like I wasted my time watching this show but I also wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The most disappointing aspect was that this 7/10 could have easily been a 9/10 with a bit better writing.

Having said that there were a lot of positives so if this is your kind of genre go for it. The baddies served their comeuppance but by the end of it all I kind of thought the goodies could have used some karma for their misdeeds too.

I've been totally hooked since episode 1. I love everything about this drama. PMY and Na In-woo have a great chemistry. The supporting cast is great too and I'm glad to see Lee Gikwang make a return to acting after 6 years. He's one of the rare idols who can actually act. I've seen the 6 first episodes so far so I can only hope the quality of acting and realization will remain top notch with the next 10 episodes. I didn't read the webtoon and I'm happy to discover the story every week without any bias. The choice of PMY as MFL was a good idea. She shows fragility and strength beautifully. I can't wait for the next episodes. I wish this drama a lot of success.

Ha Yoon, Yi Kyung, honestly, you guys saved the show many times. I don't know if the drama will be interesting without them. They stole the spotlights effortless, especially Ha yoon. They made a wonderful job choosing the main evil characters, but I won't say the same for the main leads, I'm still disappointed, they've could do a better job.

Min young is a good actress. I saw her previous works, she was amazing, especially in "Healer", but unfortunately she didn't stop playing with her face, and that made her expressions frozen no matter how edgy she's.

Na in woo, I love him, he's handsome and talented, but this role is not for him.

Honestly I haven't seen all of it yet but the ones I have watched left me in utter awe. The main lead actress is honestly so great at portraying the character she got and its a binge worthy show imo. I'm hoping it has romance in it too as i'm a sucker for a romance drama.

I heard that the show is based off the webtoon but the webtoon wasn't all that good. I was a little worried that it wasn't going to be the best show but it seems like everyone who has read the webtoon likes the series so much better and now I know why.

This series is a ten out of ten for me,the actors are great and I can't wait to finish the series already!

It's hard for me to get into dramas these days. As someone who started watching them when they first came to the states (more accessibly) in roughly 2011ish, I felt like so many stories were just the same, but with less of a story line because it's been done. I miss the days of them being so ridiculously stressful to watch I wanted to throw something. Think moments of legend of the deep blue.

This drama had me hating the characters including the leads at times, the, liking them, then frustrated. The fact it evoked so much emotion seriously means a lot. Like let me re-iterate that I struggle through most dramas these days. I found it refreshing and honestly love the actors, although I'd say the "villains" are much much weaker than the leads. I also don't think some people realize that Dramas are basically leveled up Soaps. Seriously there's always going to be cheesy, soapy moments mixed in. That's just the nature of it. Regardless, the acting and story line was good. I also chuckled at the way the leads found out the truth. A funny add in.

Would I recommend this? Yes. I put it off after being recommended it by 2 friends and I should have watched sooner. Enjoy!
