Just Lame...Unfortunately
My 4 categories are Acting/Cast, Writing, Direction/SFX/Music, Entertainment Value.It's so disappointing every time I witness a drama self destructing...
Acting/Cast: Just okay. The female lead's acting started off strong in the first episode or two, but it quickly dive-bombed off a cliff. What her acting regressed in to reminded me of the female lead's acting in the beginning of Perfect Marriage Revenge. Except, in Perfect Marriage Revenge, her acting improved as the drama progressed. It was like she was trying to imitate the female lead in The Glory, but only at random moments, so she just seemed like she had a split personality for no reason. Then, that split personality acting turned into cookie-cutter basic female lead personality (which is an absence of personality). The best acting is probably from the second female lead and maybe some side characters. The male lead is boring too. If you're going to have no personality, at least have good chemistry with the female lead... 2/10
Writing: Literally the same plot as Perfect Marriage Revenge. I was hoping that this drama would at least be an improved version. Unfortunately, I ended up giving them the same overall score, but for different reasons. The leads weren't as likeable and didn't have as much chemistry in this drama. However, the villains were a lot better and the entertainment value was a bit higher. This drama also has some entertaining side characters as opposed to Perfect Marriage Revenge. The drama really goes downhill when the character Oh Yoo Ra is introduced in episode 11. The original villains were good enough - I don't know why they felt the need to add in another villain towards the end of the drama. Oh and you know how in every single romance drama there's a point about 2/3 into the drama where the leads "break up"? Well...simply the introduction of this new character is the catalyst for it here...and it's such a dumb reason. I started hating the female lead. I described her as being "self-righteous" (a very unattractive trait in my opinion). Also, the male lead does some ridiculous sacrificial lamb BS that was so cheesy and lame. I couldn't believe the drama had devolved into this stupidity. On a positive note, I liked the added complexity to the "rules" of fate and the detail of the female lead's father being involved in her second chance. 3.5/10
Direction/SFX/Music: The direction got drunk and wouldn't go home... I'm not a fan of the OST. And the intro...I usually don't mention intros because they really don't matter at all, but in any case, it's terrible. It doesn't fit the drama, but whatever. I can say that the beginning of this drama was well directed. The female lead's reaction to waking up ten years in the past, face-to-face with her abusive ex that had just murdered her was on point. It was so realistic...seriously, it was the highlight of the drama. Too bad the writers couldn't maintain that same energy for the rest of the drama. 4.5/10
Entertainment Value: Very entertaining through the first half of the drama. It takes a turn for the worst when an additional character is suddenly introduced in episode 11. The female lead started to really piss me off and her acting became a mess. The drama started getting cheesy. This wasn't supposed to be a Makjang right? It felt like more of a Makjang than Perfect Marriage Revenge did...and not a good one. 5/10
Overall, I gave this drama a 4/10. Highly disappointing, but it did get some things right.

I think the most important thing is to like the plot of the story, I love revenge
I think I'm going to really like the drama, I love this plot of the protagonist getting a chance, you know, I find it so engaging. I thought the leads were beautiful, I love this actress and I think she's going to act a lot. The first episode was the kind that hooks you, you know? It makes you curious about what will happen in the future. Anyway, the drama reminds me a lot of Perfect Marriage Revenge, which excites me because that drama really got to me and I consider it the best of 2023. Oh, I saw that the main actress lost weight for the drama, and I was amazed because the woman delivers so much, my god. Anyway, I'm anxious for the other episodesEsta resenha foi útil para você?
Great but destined to not be a Masterpiece
The drama was great in the initial episodes, but soon it lost touch. There are some good life lessons to learn. And the pacing is good, but not the best. Su Min and Min Hwan stole the limelight. Even though they were antagonists, there presence was better than that of male leads. Male lead chemistry, I feel, is kind of off at the beginning, but soon it becomes good.I think they were not able to portray the year 2013. It's 10 years ago, but for that timeline, all they did is change mobile phones to old Samsung phones while everything was still the same. I think they would have created a good nostalgic theme, but that was not the intention. Still, that thing had potential. I am happy with this drama but it's not much memorable and I rate it 8/10 overall.

Get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions!
It's the typical time-travel vs revenge plot, but with so many twists!Marry my husband! it takes us on a captivating journey of fantasy, romance, and time travel. This enchanting series flawlessly blends a mesmerizing storyline with genuinely incredible chemistry between the leads.
The drama centers around two people who, through a twist of fate, find themselves transported ten years back in time. As they navigate this new reality, their paths cross, but guess what? One has a revenge to take and the other one has a first love that wants to pursue.
The first leads have awesome chemistry. You will literally be mesmerized by the palpable chemistry between them. The second leads, oh well! you will hate them greatly. They are the devil himself lol
Also, the visually stunning cinematography, complemented by well-chosen sceneries, elevates the mood. The aesthetics are magnificent.
overall, if you're in for a romantic fantasy drama with a great plot and chemistry, don't miss it:)

Revenge for whom
After stellar reviews, jumped to test the waters. Well, this was mediocre revenge story more glamour camera for the FL since her acting is blerg.Story: death, cheating humans, death, rebirth, angst galore, vexing grandpa, mysterious aide - nothing new in kdrama world.
Acting: FL & ML were muted angst filled humans, providing little development of character for 30+yo, supporting actors offered character & insight. Strongest actor was the SFL who portrayed a deeply troubled mental paragon. This female actor was far more compelling & interesting compared to the FL.
Music: nothing memorable
Overall: watch if you love the FL or SFL. This should have been a 12eps drama. The stretch of 4eps was another example that viewers are given mediocrity so drama overloads can make more $.

Promising start but went downhill
My review may not be adequate like others since it is not based on proper research. I read the manhwa for the sake of watching this drama and it incidentally was my first manhwa. I was completely hooked on the manhwa. It was fast-paced and had satisfied ending for each character. Including all the side characters and also their villains. It gave proper reasoning for all past but here it was rushed. Even though the drama was 16 episodes it couldn't do justice to the webtoon. Here, there was no chemistry between the leads. I know many will disagree with me but it could've been better. In manhwa, it was slow-paced but there was an intensity in their relationship. There was reasoning for every small detail as in how Jiwon moved into the new apartment, that allergy fiasco, and the other leads' relationships. The casting of Jihyeok was not good. I'm not saying that this actor is not looking but he couldn't do justice to the character. The villains were properly cast and their acting is the only good part of this whole drama. The best part of the manhwa that the drama failed to present was that Jiwon was kickass in the manhwa. Here, it felt forced. Especially all those so-called self-defense moves. I could rant about every single detail. But to summarize this review the drama was a mediocre remake of an excellent manga with not-so-appealing casting, average acting, inadequate storyline, screenplay, and production, an unnecessary introduction of new characters, not proper closures for other characters, and a lackluster ending.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

How did the director mess up such a good story? Bests me and beats the score
‼️A super lengthy review‼️I mean how hard can it be to make a series. I know it is a very difficult task but you have a well laid out story, and great actors so how can someone mess this up so badly.
I had a lot of expectations with this one but it was a total let down. There is a way of connecting to your viewers but pulling emotional cards is definitely not the way. Too many emotional cliches only bore the audience.
The way the director and the writers have carried this out is totally wrong and boring. It has so many cliches that it is reminding me of the heirs. The original story was pretty firm and nice so I don’t get why they changed the complete story for cliches.
Ji Won is not coming out as a strong character nor is Su Min coming out as a villain. Su Min feels like a character dead set on coveting the ML in manhwas who are always idiotic and annoying.
Tbh this series could have done very well on so many grounds but the story is disappointing. I was bearing with it but after I saw the fiancé/ ex gf cliche I was so done. And what’s up with the self sacrifice ? I am not watching an army movie that I will see self sacrifice.
How did the man survive the truck only god knows.
The ost is nothing great too. Nothing that will make me you know want to sit and enjoy the songs it’s just normal. And for some reason no matter how I try I cannot see the Chemistry between those too. Oh also the sponsor placing is way too obvious and it is almost hilarious.

Not a nail-biting revenge drama, falling short in the end.
Barring the last few episodes, this is a good drama. Strong start, great cast & acting - the revenge plot dwindled towards the end with some unnecessary elements. Guess, the ending/revenge being satisfactory or not would differ people to people & hence affect the overall liking for this drama. For me, it wasn't the triumphant-fist-pump-the-air kind of revenge in the end that I love so I was unsatisfied. But the writers tied up all the knots- which makes it a decent if not great finish. Main for me the revenge arc was average : 5-6 out of 10. It had great potential but was not suspenseful/unexpected & felt mediocre when delivered in the final episodes.Fav Aspects:
1. The female friendships
2. Men (ML, Chef, U&K Lawyer) being such green flags
3. Decent Antagonists (the FL's friend & boyfriend/fiancé)
What I Did Not Like:
1. Ep 12-16 were rushed, had unnecessary angst & characters (eg: ML's ex-fiancée & greedy parents)
2. Lead Pair Chemistry was Lacking (yes, even with all the hot kisses)
3. Wished Ju Ran & Yoo Hee Yeon (the support FLs) had more time for their stories & not just hints at the end.
Overall: 7/10
Decent one-time watch given the hype & media coverage, but not something I will rate in my top 10 list of revenge dramas.

read the webtoon instead. TRUST ME
I read the webtoon a couple of days before this drama ended. I watch series once they're done so that I can binge them, that's why the original story was VERY fresh in my mind when I started watching MMH.At the beginning the series was pretty okay. I was curious; I laughed some. The FL's husband had a great balance between 'evil' and hilarious even if it wasn't how his character was portrayed in the webtoon. He did great overall, and I like him as a comedian and person in general.
The ML was a problem for me even before starting. I don't like his acting. I don't like his 'image' or the energy he proyects when acting. He was a bad match for this character. There, I said it. He had no nuance, no 'mystery'. He was a plain piece of bread. No depth. No flavour. I had absolutley NO curiosity about who he was or what his true intentions were, totally opposite of how I felt in the webtoon. There was ZERO chemistry between him and the FL. That is saying A LOT since PMY is an AMAZING actress and has AMAZING chemistry with her co-stars. She goes all out. Every. Time. I love all her dramas. She is trully a magnificent performer. I could see how hard she was trying to carry her co-star. I carried though from ep.10 almost purely out of loyalty to her. I skipped through scenes from ep.14, I was bored out of my mind.
Now. About the plot changes. Some were okay, they changed the order of some things and the dates as well (I asume to make the actor's ages more credible). The addition of that certain new female character was completely unecessary and uncalled for. The only explanation for it I can come up with is that they wanted to have a 16 ep. drama and couldn't find a way to fill the run time without bringing some nonsense into the mix. The webtoon is pretty crazy and ridiculous in the things these people do to take revenge, however the new mayor plot change towards the last 3rd of the series simply cheapened the show. A true shame.
Somehow, this show removed the suspense and intrigue of the story. I don't know how that's posible. I really don't think it had anything to do with the fact that I already 'knew the story'. Even with the changes they made it was somehow predictable and executed half heartedly. In the webtoon I remember feeling true fear for Su-mins character. She is CRAZY. Like bat-sh*t crazy. And I could feel it in my SOUL. The actress did great in the first half of the show but her intensity slowly diminished as the story went on (I think it was the writting that changed her direction). She didn't feel crazy anymore, she just looked loud and obsessed. Don't know if I got my thoughts across properly there but that gives you an idea.
I just wouldn't watch this show. If I could go back to my past self from a couple days ago, I would simply tell her to enjoy the Webtoon and cherish it because that's as good as it's going to get. The chemistry is palpable in the webtoon, I couldn't stop scrolling!!! I even bought coins to read it all in one day!! That's how good it is.
This show on the other hand, was not.
Marry My Husband was another drama I hoped would become a favorite that just didn't even come close to the mark.
Oh well, off to search for something new. Still a few weeks away form Captivating the king, Branding in Seonsu, and Doctor Slump!

Disappointed ...
The storyline started off strong in the first few episodes. But with the character if BoA coming in,it has sadly veered so far off course. This observation was also noted by some netizens as well.Everything just feels off right now. I cannot comprehend why the FL's fate has transferred to co-worker Yang. This considering that she isn't even considered as a main character in the story. It would have been more realistic if the second lead was the one experiencing this series of bad luck situations
Park Min Young's acting has also turned into something so predictable. Na In Woo can definitely fit into the role of a ML given the right script. He has the height and build for it. I enjoyed Lee Yi Kyung's character because he does provide a bit of a comedic relief despite being a shady character. If anything, he and Song ha Yoon have proven that they can steal the show. They both delivered their characters superbly. Being a hateful villain for me is a testament of a great actor....
Anyway.... 2 episodes to go and I will be done with this....

A little disapointed!
I've read the webtoon and i loved it so i was expecting more from the drama but sadly...they changed too much.. the acting was good of course. i know all the actors... but really they didnt do what it had to be done with the story i mean.
they took out scenes that were important, they changed the timeline of the events,they even changed the personality of some characters... they put in drama that was not necessary and not in the webtoon...if i say more i'll basically spoil the whole drama...I am gonna watch til the end the drama but that is not gonna change my point of view sadly.
i understand that some stuff are not gonna be the same but this is too much in my opinion.
what should i say... disapointed.
