Superb acting and entertaining story
I'm a Park Min Young fan and tend to enjoy the dramas she makes, but the actors that really surprised me in this drama were the ones playing villains. Lee Yi Kyung and Song Ha Yoon were brilliant.The story itself is entertaining - it gets very dark, but I felt it was well balanced with some lighter moments, often brought on by Yi Kyung or some of the supporting characters. I enjoyed watching it all the way through and would recommend it.
(My mom watched this before I did and thoroughly enjoyed it, too!)

Revenge that takes 4 extra episodes long to be served
A revenge drama that truly serves the revenge on the platter from episode 1.Marry my husband drama is good 10.5 episodes of perfect adaptation of web novel, 85% novel + 15% originality, then plot plot quickly turns original with it comes too many inconsistencies that can't be ignored, as if writers have ran out of ideas to fill in rest of the episodes. Even director's take cannot salvage the damage done by writers of the show. They could have simply put some time into existing character development rather than introducing new character just to make villains upper hand.
It may not be the best drama out there but had good start 1-6 episodes gives you feel of freshness, 7 - 10.5 episodes you would feel the quality is dropping but pivotal revenge moments pays off . Then comes the dread of 11-15 episodes which i believe can fast forward most of the scenes except the main leads.
Acting department song ha yoon n lee yi kyung brings there best games both of them invokes anger and aggression inside you; Park min young is good too, the weakest is Bae Geu Rin - she is miscast for the role and it is apparent from the moment she is introduced. Na In Woo is okay, rest out cast are good.
Definitely a one time watch, will i recommend it - if you have nothing to watch and want to off your brain or have craving for second chance at life kinda drama.

A very good revenge drama
Probably not as sinister as The Glory, but all the angst and anger towards the husband and best friend for sure! A little too much overacting from the support casts, but generally very good.Each episode will keep you wanting for more so I suggest to binge watch. The travel timeline and why fate had to still play out was a little confusing. For example: a couple had to get married, someone had to have cancer and someone had to die in a car accident. Just watch with an open mind.
Definitely highly recommended! :)

Good Enough
Korean Drama '' Marry My Husband '' is a fantasy melodrama with a romance to boot.The drama, first of all, has a strong start. The melodrama hits its peak then, with the villains being truly despicable, creating the right environment to cultivate a revenge plot hereby.
The romance was also cute, especially since the main couple had loads of chemistry.
On the other hand, the drama started getting messy, with idiotic twists, cheesy romantic scenes, and an ending that was rushed to conclude everyone's storyline.
At least, the performances were all enjoyable.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Clichê , talvez mas emocionante e envolvente com certeza
Como uma leitora do manhwa eu fiquei feliz que finalmente eles iam colocar um dos meus manhwas favoritos na tela mas ,quando vi o cast eu fiquei um pouco preocupada porque temos uma Park min young que não tinha feita uma personagem tão vingativa quanto a Ji Woo e temos um ator que eu nunca tinha realmente prestado atenção, mas as atuações foram muito boas .O drama é um enredo que nós não temos muito que é a regressão no tempo , e uma coisa que amei na adaptação é que eles incrementaram coisas que não teve não manhwa mas não saiu do enredo como a cena deles ouvindo BTS foi sensacional .
Os protas tinha uma química sensacional e os vilões foram sensacionais eu sinceramente não esperava tanto de um ator que é muito bom em comédia ser um cara tão escroto mas ele ainda trazia marca dele que é a comédia e deixou isso no personagem a atriz que fez a vilã foi perfeita porque ele passa a vibe da personagem de uma menina inocente mas que é uma grande pick me . Foi um drama que me fez ficar ansiosa toda a semana mesmo eu já sabendo o que aconteceria eu amei as cenas deles quando eram mais novos o drama foi muito bom Recomendo assistir se você está de saco cheio de mocinhas que só levam e não revidam e só aceitam o que acontece estão basicamente esperando um príncipe pra salva-las nessa história temos uma pessoa que está lutando pra viver uma vida onde ela é respeitada e Amada . E de um cara que não quer apenas deixar as coisas acontecerem mas luta por aquilo que ele quer .

Once you see it, you can't unsee it
Watching this, I finally realized Park Min Young has three talents: the radiant smile, the sorrowful watery-eyes, and the full on beautiful crying. As long as she cycles through those three strengths, she's stellar. However, the second the script asks her to show a nuanced performance, she's overwhelmed. (I'm never going to unsee that now) This became clear every time Song Ha Yoon appeared in a scene with PMY. One actress shredded the screen, the other looked wooden. The gap between acting abilities was obvious.Not all can be blamed on the actress. The script wasn't stellar either. Disappointing, because the series started off with a very gripping first episode, but the emotional grab generated during those few episodes soon weakened to a sloppy grip as the story unwound. There were plot holes, there were tropes, there were filler characters, there was some very obvious plot meandering--not surprisingly, under the weight of all this lack of originality, the story's momentum faltered. This gave me time to think about other things happening on the screen, like why did they create that character? He belongs better in a romantic comedy, no? Not only that, but what's with the new wardrobe? They have PMY sashaying into the office like she's strutting down a runway, while all the other office grunts wear wardrobes that say 'office grunt'. And they have all the females just loving her more the wilder and pricier her outfits get? Plausible? I think not. Also, why are glasses so maligned in fiction? Take a really good looking person, slap a less than flattering pair of glasses on them, and we suddenly we can't see that they're still a REALLY good looking person? Hello, Clark Kent...
It's never good when my mind wanders so freely.

THE PERFECT CRINGE?
so i hesitated a lot to watch this because, well, the poster looked cringe, and the title sounded soapy and i was loosing hope on good dramas lately...WITHOUT SPOILERS, you only need to watch the first scene with the window to know that it will be a great show!! this quality cannot be faked!
the cinematography, imagery, the story, the parallels, lessons and how people change or don't change were amazing!
despite a cliché seeming 'cold' ML, with typical tropes, it was a well done one!
i often gave up on shows made by this FL although i love her a lot! i think she was phenomenal here!
the FL transformation throughout the show is lovely and inspiring, and i think this show tackles toxic and violent relationships well and inspires a healing journey!
i knew this show would be well done since its based on a solid webtoon: the producers can stay coherent more easily , but its a show that gets really messy with drama!
if you are looking for a classic drama, this is the PERFECT CRINGE!

Una nueva oportunidad
Una gran serie con intriga, venganza, romance (Un drama muy completo)Una nueva oportunidad, para poder cambiar errores del pasado malas decisiones
La protagonista se casa con un hombre que nunca la valoró ,más tarde a ella le da cáncer y piensa que la única que está a su lado es su amiga, pero más tarde descubre que su amiga y sus esposo están teniendo una aventura, en todo ese conflicto el marido la empuja contra un cristal y muere.
Ahora se encuentra 10 años atrás y tiene una nueva oportunidad para cambiar su destino, también tiene la ventaja de saber como es su amiga y su marido
Me gusta la enseñanza de este drama, a veces tu escoges quien está a tu lado, ella por falta de autoestima se conforma con poco ,pero ahora tiene que enfrentarse a todos los que la humillaron con la ventaja que los demás no saben que ella está al tanto de todo, también tiene otra oportunidad en el amor con una persona que valga la pena.
Me encanta Park Min Young es de mis actrices favoritas .nunca decepciona lo malo que se veía muy delgada para el papel
Me alegro todo el éxito que ha tenido el drama y que ella se hay podido librar de todo el escándalo con el novio
El protagonista principal me parece muy buen actor, a pesar de su personaje serio, es muy expresivo y me gusta su tono de voz, tiene una gran química con Park ming young me encanta verlos juntos.
Grandes villanos se robaron el show, todos los personajes muy buenos.
Enseñanza valorarte a ti mismo y rodearte de personas que valgan la pena.

Should have been a 10-12 episode drama.
Title: "Marry My Husband" – The Title Speaks for ItselfStory:
I was initially intrigued by the plot as I love a good revenge story. I liked the first half of the drama and how the lead’s situation was clearly presented. Also, you will understand all the back story and why she wanted revenge in the first episode. The story had a good balance of ups and downs, showing that not everything went the FL way. I appreciated how she effectively used her knowledge of the future and how she learns from fall backs or mistakes (a lot of lead characters in dramas do not learn HAHAHA). The rules of her rebirth were also explained, which added depth to the plot (ex: transfer of fate). Overall, the early episodes have a good flow.
However, After the supposed “revenge” of the FL, where her best friend marries the trash husband, everything went downhill. The ML and FL romance felt rushed and forced. There is no spark, no chemistry, no nothing at all. The ML character felt too flat. He did his job helping tho, but his scenes felt repetitive and SUPER green flag to the point that the character was too predictable and boring. Also, the addition of another character did not help but it only complicates the story. I found the character of the ML's ex-fiancée unnecessary TBH. Her character only complicates the story. Her presence felt out of place and didn’t make much sense. Also, the development of the husband’s (Park min hwan) character felt unrealistic. There were some cliché moments, but they were tolerable.
Acting/Cast:
AGAIN!!!! NO CHEMISTRY AT ALL between the ML and FL. The fiance was excellently portrayed in my opinion. He is funny and at the same time an effective antagonist while the best friend nailed the “irritating cute acting but psycho” persona.
Music:
The music was decent but not particularly memorable.
Rewatch Value:
Probably not. If I were to rewatch, Maybe the first episodes but even that is just okay. The latter half didn’t hold up as well for me.
Overall:
It was okay overall, a decent watch, but mediocre at best.

a satisfying revenge story that should have left romance alone
this show is at its very best when it showcases the FL and the SFL. their scenes are electrifying, elevated further by song ha yoon's exemplary portrayal of the abominable soomin. FL serving both SFL and SML what they deserved is the heart of the show, and it is so very satisfying to watch the SFL + SML slowly ruin themselves all the while thinking they have the longer end of the stick, and only realizing too late that they've walked straight into the trap they thought they laid for FL.but that's what the show is good at. the revenge.
the romance between FL and ML is already bland and unengaging in and of itself, but it becomes criminally annoying when juxtaposed with the off-the-charts energy of the revenge story. i found yoo ji hyuk's character especially uninspired. he's a run-of-the-mill cardboard cutout love interest that was thrust into the midst of two well-established, fully developed characters. what is good old 'rich boy with a dark past' jihyuk against the disgusting minhwan, a weak-minded clown of a unapologetic scumbag, or the ruthlessly manipulative, deliciously narcissistic soomin? i wasn't a fan of na in woo's portrayal, either. it's almost always the same sad, tortured expression, and you can argue that it's just how his character is, but to me it felt like emotional constipation and a little too reminiscent of his performance in Mr. Queen (which i was not a fan of either). the latter half of the show spent too much time on FL & ML's romance, and added further unnecessary makjang elements only tangentially related to the core revenge against SML & SFL, so if you don't like the romance, there's essentially nothing to gain from those scenes. let's not get started on the addition of the totally eyeroll-inducing ex-fiance character.
that said, the revenge was schadenfreude at its finest and will get you invested in the story for a good chunk of the show's run. the latter half of the show, however, was a major letdown in its failure to focus on what we care about most -- jiwon bringing about soomin's downfall.

Très bonne série
Beaucoup de choses vues dans les Kdrama, (le camion blanc, la famille toxique etc) mais l'intrigue de revanche est plutôt bien amenée et les personnages ont un passé qui se dévoile petit à petit .C'est l'histoire d'une femme crédule, insignifiante et soumise (Park Min Young) qui meurt en apprenant de terribles vérités tuée des mains de son mari (Lee Yi Kyung) qui était avec une autre ... elle se réveille 10 ans plus tôt, mais cette fois, elle connait la fin et donc décide de changer sa vie.
Cela dit ce n'est pas simple, si elle change son destin, quelqu'un doit le prendre !
Elle attire l'attention du chef du bureau, le ML joué par Na In Woo toujours excellent, qui ne semblait pas s'intéresser à elle dans sa vie précédente...
Avec un casting brillant comme celui ci, on apprécie les acteurs qui sont à fond dans les personnages (l'actrice principale pas grosse, a perdu du poids pour ce rôle...) Les 5 leads sont brillants, et les supports également.
La performance de psychopathe de Song Ha Yoon est à souligner.
Dommage que Lee Gi Kwang n'ait pas eu assez de temps à l'écran selon moi

Great concept, mediocre execution
I am writing this review as someone who hasn't read the webtoon.I am someone who really enjoys revenge plots, it feeds my soul to see bad people be put in their place, however, this drama, on many occassiona, just had me feeling frustrated instead of happy.
What I liked
1. Wonderful performances by supporting cast - I love almost most of the supporting cast of the show, including actors portraying Sumin and Jihwan. To pull off villains that make your blood boil is not an easy task and these two nailed it. It was genuinely infuriating to see them manipulate and gaslight Ji-won.
2. Jiwon learning to stand up for herself, and face Sumin on her own as much as she could. It was nice to not have Ji hyuk be her knight in shining armor all the time.
3. Jihwan's death, it was satisfying to see him die the way Jiwon had, instead of it being Sumin. It was a plot twist I enjoyed.
What I disliked
1. The main leads - I disliked both of their characters, especially Jiwon's. Her pure and naive personality felt unreal and stupid and instead of pitying her situation, I only ended up feeling mildly annoyed at her decisions. Even after time traveling, she continued to take forever before she grew a spine, and by the end of it, I was rooting more for Jooran than her victory. Jihyuk's character was the blandest male lead one ever had in kdramas. Having his entire existence revolve around Jiwon's happiness made him one-dimensional. Surely, they could have explored his relationship with his fiance in detail, and explore his arc. He basically was like just there.... most of the time, and it was boring to watch him on screen. The chemistry of the main leads also was lacking, and I was left feeling uncomfortable whenever they hugged, because of how forced it felt.
2. The writing taking a nosedive after episode 11. I didn't mind the addition of Yoora to the plot, they needed a scapegoat to share Jihyuk's fate, while also being connected to him. But damn, they failed the execution. Her character too had no depth, no rational explanation behind her motivation other than she was ruthless... which we didn't actually get to properly appreciate because of the lack of context. Also it didnt make sense why she would use Jihwan considering how pwerful she is, let alone sleep with him and bail him out of jail. Crappy writing.
3. The fact that no one stands up against that shitty manager, its so irritating. Surely someone would have, it just felt so ..... weird that everyone just tolerated that behaviour. Surely Jihyuk's sister could have had him fired, especially since he underperforms.... it was stupid.
Overall.. this was a one time watch, and I played most of it in 2X speed.
