A Esposa do Meu Marido (2024)

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.

They shouldn't have changed the original plot...

When I fisrt learned there would be a TV series adaptation from this webtoon, I got really excited. To be honest, I started reading marry my husband once, but couldn't last more than three episodes because I found it really hard to digest. Jiwon's story is not just sad, but devastating in any way.
Nevertheless, I could finish reading it and finally started watching the drama. I must say: it's a whole experience! It catched my attention from the first episode until the end, the cast was amazingly selected so they could look just like their characters. And the tension is real.
But what made me sad was the fact that in the middle of the story, they added another character, who's not a part of the original story and changed the whole storyline. In my point of view, the true villain wasn't that bad compared to Ji Hyuk's ex-wife or even the real Sumin, the one in the webtoon series. Probably the worst flaw, but thankfully it didn't ruin everything at all; it could just have been better.

Tudo começou com um webtoon…

Tal como tinha dito anteriormente em outras reviews, li o webtoon e uma parte da novel e adorei o plot do início ao fim! Quando soube que iam fazer um kdrama baseado nele, chorei. Hoje choro mais uma vez, não só por ter acabado mas também porque queria que tivesse sido perfeito e não foi…

As personagens estavam fantásticas, consegui odiar a Sumin e o Minhwan como nunca antes, porém estava à espera que o avô do Jikhyung fosse o Lee Deokhwa e que a mãe dele aparecesse, mesmo que só por um episódio. Houve tanta coisa que ficou por mostrar! Este seria um dos poucos kdramas que pediria para que fizessem pelo menos 18/20 episódios. Mas o que está feito, feito está!

Props: para o Lee Gikwang como Baek Eunho, não era quem eu visionava, mas surpreendeu-me.
Curiosidade: para quem não leu o webtoon, não há ex-noivas prometidas ciumentas e psicopatas. Esses momentos foram desnecessários e não trouxeram nada pra história a não ser perda de tempo.

P.S.: o meu vizinho arrebentou com o cabo da televisão e internet ao cortar uma árvore enquanto eu escrevia isto.

I had to leave a review. Firstly, i love revenge dramas and it was satisfying to see a revenge drama where the victim did not have to throw his/her life away to achieve the revenge. The FL and ML had me rooting for their relationship the whole way. There were no unnecessary characters, every character served a purpose( oops! Almost forgot the second lead’s dad). In comparison to other dramas, this did a better job of weaving the advertisements into the story.
Hats off to the second female lead, she really got my blood boiling and had me screaming delulu! at my TV screen.
I will definitely recommend this drama and can see my self watching again. I loved the lesson being sent …>the fact that a person doesn’t show their pain or wear it on their sleeves, doesn’t mean they have it better than you.

vale 100% la pena

La historia narra la vida de la protagonista y como esta termina muerta por culpa de su esposo y mejor amiga y despierta años atrás, antes de casarse con su esposo y su objetivo es impedir ese futuro, aunque ella no será la única que viaje en el tiempo.

Una historia de romance, venganza y no dejarte por nada ni nadie.

Un drama que me dejo encantada, desde el inicio prometio y cumplir, lo disfrute, me reí, anéxele la venganza y todo pasaba increíble, solo hubiera querido que la antagonista sufriera mas, incluso el final fue bastante bueno, no siempre pasan las cosas como uno piensa.

el ost es sencillo pero muy acorde a la serie, toda la musicalizaron en la serie fue adecuada y te llevaba a los momentos claves, la musica en si te iba contando la historia.

Sobre las actuaciones, como siempre Park Min Young es una estrella, es una actriz que disfruto de todo los trabajos que hace, desde que la conocí nunca me ha decepcionado. Las actuaciones de todo realmente fueron muy buenas, algunos los conocí en este drama, y espero seguir viéndolos mas adelante.

Recomiendo verlo? claro que si, a todo a que que ame las historias de venganza y nuevo romance, esta es su historia, se disfruta y seguro que no van a querer soltarla.

It's quite exciting (edited)

Even if the plot feels less fanfictional than the webtoon version I kind of prefer the series... I have my reasons like in the webtoon Ji-hyuk's character wasn't really shown as the genre was biased to revenge but as the series is basically Rom-com, the plot is really showing the character 'Ji-hyuk' ... Many are dropping it cause of the 'unreasonable' entry of Ji-hyuk's ex fiance but in my opinion we needed it to know more about his character. Ngl ep 12 was really frustrating and just like most (former) female leads' behavior, Ji Won way of handling made be go all crazy... But I kinda get it ig.... Overall I think the minor changes were quite needed and let's hope it can satisfy us till the end!
Today was the last airing and I finished watching it... I am really satisfied with the plot specifically the death of Min-hwan made it really satisfying compared to that in the webtoon... Also Ji-hyuk's ex -fiancé's plot was quite well shown! Whoever changed the plot into this one I must say they did a great job... Likewise I too, am changing my prejudgment.

Park Min Young's comeback is strong and striking

A really good adaptation of a webtoon into a drama . From the start to end, the drama was engaging. The drama will make you feel for the characters be it hatred or sympathy, love or disgust. Each and every cast member played their part extremely well be it the main leads or side characters or the antagonist.

PMY's comeback was phenomenal. After facing such a turbulent time in her life for past year where many expected her career to go down the hill, she bounced back with a stellar drama and took her spot back.

For me the star of the show is "Song Ha Yoon". She absolutely nailed her role and showed off her versatility. Hell I even forgot she is the same girl from the drama "Fighting For My Way". As much as I liked her character in that drama, I did end up hating her a lot in this one. She managed to do the same what Lim Ji Yeon did in "The Glory". So kudos to her.

Lee Yi Kyung's " Gwenchana Gwenchana" ain't working in this drama what his acting sure is. Dude played the role of a sleezy asshole extremely well.

The show is a worth spending time on if you are looking for some good and satisfying revenge drama.
