Pesadelo Maravilhoso (2015)

Funny, heartwarming, predictable, and just great!
I've wanted to watch this movie for months, and once I found it subbed I couldn't wait to see it. First of all the actors were great. Uhm Jung Hwa,Song Seung Hun, and Kim Sang Ho are veterans. You can always expect great acting from them! I was actually impressed by Seo Shin Ae, she's improved a lot since The Queen's Classroom. It was a great cast, and this type of role definetly fits Um Jung Hwa.
The story itself wasn't new at all. Like some people were discussing in the comments, this movie is a remake of a remake of a remake. However, it was my first time watching and I found it to be a very heartwarming family movie. The plot moves at a nice speed and you might even shed some tears here and there. It's not groundbreaking but it is entertaining. Watch it, you won't regret it! Personally I'm always looking for these types of movies. Seeing someone's world get turned upside-down
I honestly cannot remember a single song from this movie. There is a soundtrack CD, with a lot of songs, but they just didn't register with me.
Overall---: I'll definetly be rewatching this movie. It has comedy, drama, and even romance ( although not enough ). I was satisfied by the ending and I think it could even have a second part. The actors fit their characters extremely well and the plot had enough twists to make it a memorable movie.

Great story of single female attorney who is so uptight and bougie. She gets into an accident and is given one month to live as another woman. She finds herself married with 2 kids and a housewife. She lives in a dingy neighborhood with crazy neighbors who gossip at any give moment. She struggles in the beginning esp when the family is relying on her for food and stuff. It gets even funnier when the husband wants to sleep in the same bed and hes a stranger to her. She learns alot from the family and in the end is willing to give it up for the sake of their well being. Its a fun movie full of laughter and emotions

Have you ever had a moment to as yourself "What if?"
What if I get to live an entirely different life from what I have today?
What if I only have a month to make a difference in my life?
What if I loose all the money, fame prestige and power that I have?
What if I get to have Song Seung Hun as my husband (a lot already had done this one I suppose).

Now here is a movie that tackles a few of the most common what ifs in human existence. And it delivers the answers to those questions in a manner that is light, funny, and will give you all the right feels.
It may have had a weak start that is borderline to cringe worthy for being unoriginal and may at times reminiscent of another movie or drama of the same plot and background, but as the story flows you'll forgive its flaws and misses to be alright and forgivable. It is super predictable, to that point that you can almost call yourself a fortune teller but even then, the movie ends in the best way possible that you'll find yourself (swooning to Song Seung Hun) happily contented with the package as a whole.

You will not laugh your ass off, but you will definitely have that genuine smile, you will not be bawling over a box of tissue paper but you'll definitely have a tear here and there, you won't have that heart wrenching experience but it will give you a satisfying feeling that will make your two hour slouch in front of your screen worth it.

I don't want to change my 1st ratings but I'd give this a 8.5 after the rewatch

the ending was way too rushed and sudden tbh, and Director Kim being her dad made me go "wth" xD
also I didn't remember this had a near sexual assault! though thankfully the made it a reversal point about her past self so it went by ok.
though I also think 2 things made things too complicated, 1- if the son got sick becasue they switched the mom and the fls "genes" and it disappeared once she went back, then wouldn't that mean the incident with the daughter and the fl protecting her didn't happen?
like how much do they remember? how many things didn't happen becasue they reswitched?

the dynamic between the fl and her new "husband" was funny, finally though a ml that was sweet and not pushed over by his wife (real wife) xD he really did love and respect her, and they seemed to have a nice healthy relationship even though they had a shotgun wedding as teens (don't know how old the ml was) maybe wait, he was same aged as yeonwoo cuz he said he went to her class? so 39? and his wife was 34. so they got married when she was around 18 and he was 22?


I think this was Song Seung Heon best work, he should do more sweet mature roles instead of the crazy or immature roles.

Feel good with a right ending

Good story.

STORY - nice story about a lawyer that is killed by mistake in heaven and, to return to her rightful place, has to take the place of the mother and wife in a family. She has to endure a completely different life, but in the end, she understands that love and be loved is the best thing she can have.

ACTING - good. All is done with competence

MUSIC - Did not pay attention to the OST

REWATCH - if I stumble with this I can watch it again. However, it will not be in my rewatch list!

OVERALL - good story. If you like light feel good and a little comedy this is good to watch. The ending is good, because I have in my mind the follow up...

A review from an Indian Viewer

The enactment of the lead role by Uhm Jung-hwa? is simply outstanding. All the other characters also have given their best. I liked the movie for its universal appeal of Karma and how love changes everything. With this movie i have become a Fan of Korean movie and will definitely watch any interesting Korean movies in future.The concept of The Family has been highlighted where happiness of all family members is priority , not money.

A movie to be watched by all, and is worth a re-watch . It has a simple and wonderful story.Although ending of movie is good, but could be explored from other angles and hence a next part of it makes sense.

Be Happy

Wonderful Nightmare was so good. I really liked it and I wish someone would want to watch it with me so I can watch it again...I don't want to watch it again by myself because I would want to share thoughts. This movie goes into some very serious topics such as rape, social status, and moral values about life. This is not a movie to watch if you want a lighthearted humorous film. Though, Wonderful Nightmare has some funny moments, it really pushes the female MC to reconsider her career path, morals and values, and reflect on her own actions in her past. I think she had a wonderful change in character after seeing how other lives and I absolutely LOVED her realization about how she wanted to live her life after the events of the movie takes place.
The ending is actually a happy ending in my book because I let my imagination take the wheel from that last scene. The acting and pacing were both good too!
