A Esposa do Meu Marido (2024)

Show de atuação

Eu gostei bastante, só acho que dava pra ter enrolado menos no final e diminuído uns 2 episódios, mas em geral foi bem legal.
O elenco todo é maravilhoso e a Park Minyoung como sempre maravilhosa em tudo que se propõe a fazer, além da Song Hayoon que simplesmente deu um show de atuação e me fez ficar cativada pela sua personagem do início ao fim.
A história me prendeu muito e achei bem pensada. Eu amei o casal principal, eles são muito fofos e com uma ótima quimica, mas pra mim, a melhor personagem é a Huiyeon. Ela é uma querida demais, extremamente carismática e eu sempre ansiava pelas cenas dela ?
É um drama que eu veria novamente.

Someone missed something by a mile......

I'll keep this extremely short like the series should have been...... THE cast and plot drew me in, since I am a sucker for time travel and revenge plots....... and loved the first half .

BUT to be honest the build up was pretty anti-climatic. Without divulging the details the "revenge" is a little misleading , this is more of a 2nd chance kinda story. There is a lot of chaos in the story with vague "logical" travel rules, too many side stories which felt a little forced specially after the introduction of EX......well.....
.....
.....One line "Lost Potential".

so much yapping but the storyline is great

First of all, i'd like to mention that I have read the webtoon of this kdrama. And honestly, the storyline itself was great, however, I was disappointed that they casted Park Min Young out of all the actresses, since the main point of the webtoon was "an ugly duckling who has a beautiful best friend becomes gorgeous". With Min Young in this kdrama, they really failed with this, at least they could have tried harder. All they did was give her glasses and tie her hair in a ponytail, not to mention that her clothes were considered "ugly" in the kdrama but she was literally wearing fashionable office clothes with heels and later on just changed it into formal dresses. So casting a beautiful actress is weird when the best friend who was considered a goddess was on the same level of pretty. Just two pretty actresses in a kdrama, and that kind of beat the point of the webtoon and it was funny watching it and the kdrama producers trying to convince us that this girl is ugly because of her glasses and a ponytail.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed the other casting. All of them did an amazing job especially the villains. I just thought they did an amazing job at immersing themselves in this role. Also, the ML was amazing too, at first I thought that he was pretty far of from the webtoon but the more I watched it the more I liked it. I can see why he was casted.

Even though it was interesting, I was very bored at most scenes with the main couple. All they did was talk talk yapp yapp talk talk and the FL cry and talk nonstop. I just don't understand, there was literally no point of them making them talk so much boring stuff for like 10minutes straight and then make them cry afterwards.

I was also quite sad that the producers missed the opportunity to carry this drama with side couples. Literally none of the side couples had a normal screen time nor an ending.

All in all, I did enjoy the storyline itself, they made this kdrama surprisingly interesting to the very end, however, the constant talking and crying really made it weak. Other than that, I believe casting Park Min Young was pretty stupid for such a role lol, although the casting for others were amazing.

girl gets her bestfriend and cheating husband back, KARMA IS REALLLL

When I tell you, from start to finish I was soooo deeply invested in this story. I remember first finding out about this story through webtoon, people posting screenshots of a woman who has cancer finding her husband cheating on her with her childhood best friend. Its so deeply fried inside my brain that even though I’ve never read the webtoon, I still remember thise screenshots of the story.

And then when I heard its getting a live action? DUDE YES!

Like not one episode was boring.

I saw a lot of people dropped the show because they didn’t like the male lead, but honestly ever since I saw him in Mr.Queen I literally thought he was so handsome, and seeing him get a role that’ll get him recognised made me so happy! And I believe he did a very well job and I enjoyed his scenes with Jiwon.

Alright so overall, really good revenge plot- everything was just so satisfying. The thing is, I LOVE, time travel and revenge plots- and these two being mixed together?! Literally best thing ever. I promise you, you won’t regret watching this. Though the show isn’t a ten for me because there are some plotholes, like, they never explain why Jiwons fate fell on her ex boyfriend and not on Sumin? I guess Sumin always had her own fate of ending up in jail I guess?

Also I guess you could say the way things ended in the end were a lil TOO perfect, like how did everything just fall into place perfectly ? Everyone who was single had a partner and got married and has kids like?? But I digress, I was really happy for Jiwon because holy shit, she really deserved the happy ending after going through all of that.

ALSO, was the ex manager (forgot his name but the guy who was an asshole at work), did he turn gay in the end? Because wdym he found his true self after love failed him….? I won’t jump to conclusions here but since this K-Drama is filled with villains, the least one I expected to have a redemption arc was the manager and it was so wholesome! I guess the ex classmates too but if I’m being honest their presence in the story wasn’t that special, when they showed up again I literally forgot who they were until I saw the girl in the middle and I memorised her cus she’s pretty lol…

Okay that’s all, I think the story was so cool- I wasn’t bored and I was so excited to wait for the new ep every time. If you’re like me and love revenge plots (as well as time travel), this is your show!!!

This is mostly a very satisfying watch.

Generally I don't like revenge-makjang dramas, but I like Park Min Young. I thought, let's just give this a go, worst case scenario I'll just drop it after a while. Overall this is a very pleasant surprise. The whole plot works a lot better than anything else I've seen in this genre before, mostly because villainous transgressions get quick -and smart- paybacks almost every single time and these are very satisfying & overall well written. Outside of Boa's questionable acting the cast did a phenomenal job as well and the whole thing is just very decently done, the production values are really up there with the best. So why is it not a 10 you might ask? In the second half there were 2-3 weak, messy episodes where the plot fell apart a little bit, though the drama managed to recover from these & wrapped up nicely too.

Skipped half the things after 8 episodes

Watched this simply bcoz of the heroine. I love her presence. Many have listed positive aspects. I'll concentrate on boring ones for change. This doesn't mean that I didn't binge watched it in 2 days ?:

* Things became boring the moment the 2nd female villain entered the viewframe. That actress is boring to look at especially when you compare it to how the two main villains were so refreshing to watch until then. Afterwards their habit of taking clues fr this new villain was too predictive. I get that her presence was meant to indicate ML lead's personal struggle against his fate but she simply comes across as irritating filler after 8th episode.

*Su Min didn't have to have childhood or familial connection to FL for her to have grudge against her. We know that ppl hold gudge and jealousy without any familial connection. This urge by showmakers to connect love or hatred to early years in such blatant way takes you away fr whatever little realism is present in the shows.

* Do all the disapproving grandparents need to use that sound note to speak?

The BEST thing about this show is main 2 villains upto 8th episode. I simply skimmed over the rest of the episodes. Don't have that much patience. Loved the heroine but the actors who played the villain couple stole the show making audience think about all the vile ppl of these sorts they have come across in their own lives

has both old-kdrama romance, thrill and revenge ... satisfying, enjoyed every episode

I loved almost every kdrama of PMY, so far. And, she rarely disappoints in choosing the best. Marry my Husband did not only have a promising story line and concept. But, the cast is every bit adorable and did great portraying each character.
I would gladly watch them do anything for another four episodes. They are that loveable.

This drama has one of those nice mixtures of original and cliché elements. It has, also, this old-kdrama feel-good side, especially at the beginning (partly because it's Park Min Young). But, it doesn't become repetitive and boring at the end. I love how it's engaging till the last episode.

In this show, there is a clear distinction between the good and evil people, without feeling cliché, unrealistic or exaggerated.

Spoilers!!!

My only complaint is the misunderstanding and the rift they created between the main leads at the middle of the story. They could've at least made her know the ex-fiancée wanted her man, after he became her man. She should not have felt so much guilt. I would had loved if they have handled the "not wanting affairs because my parents had affairs" differently. I may have been a little inattentive in those episodes. But, their feelings and thoughts are so complicated and implicitly said, that if you don't repeat the episodes over and over, you get the impression that "they find it had to not pursue love, despite the fact that their parents hurt them by doing it". The writing on the breakup was a little sloppy.

end of spoilers!!!

But, I am nit picking because this is one of the best dramas I have seen in the couple past years.
This is not all fluff, and has some pretty dark and heavy aspects, but, I am sure I will watch it again and again in the future.
Thanks to everyone who made it happen, from the director, the amazing actors, the writers of the manhwa and web novel, and those working behind the scene.

The better the villain bigger the hero

I enjoyed it very much. The first six-eight episodes were nerve-racking, the FL were in such a vulnerable state that I was worried for her, I wanted her be safe and, win this battle.

The two villain really stole the show. Specially, Song ha yoon really deserve all the awards, she is terrific and, terrifying in the drama. If she does not get best supporting actress award then, it would be such a shame.

Lastly, Park min young done a great job as the lead, I think this was her best performance after a long time. She portrayed the vulnerability and, how the character gets strong slowly, she really put heart and soul in this character.

The drama is also very engaging from start to finish. Recommended.

What time is it? Oh, it's 11:30am!

This was my gateway into the kdrama multiverse and I would highly recommended it for most newbies in the space. The story is intriguing enough to make you keep watching but it has a few clichés and typical cringe moments well known in the community.

Story
Loved this story line. Hindsight it 20/20 and our FL was able to go back and see all the red flags. Who wouldn't want to rewrite their fate? I enjoyed the way they played with the butterfly effect and how destiny will always find someone. Ji-Won was Our precious Ji-Hyuk was literally a Green Forest.

Acting/Cast
While there is so much uproar over the ML and FL, I thought they were both pretty good. The villains were also very well casted. I was definitely rooting for them to fail at every chance.

Music:
Not my favorite. The main song kind of ruined some of the romantic moments for me.

Rewatch Value:
I happened to rewatch for the review and would say it is one I could revisit again later down the road.

Very good. If you read the Webtoon you will notice there are a few changes that were unnecessary

9/10 is my rating. This is a 2024 South Korean time travel, revenge romance with 16, 70 minute episodes.

First I provide a unique synopsis then review

Synopsis

In 2023 Kang Ji won (Park Min Young) is married to Park Min Hwan (Lee Yi Kyung) and is living a miserable life where she is emotionally abused by her husband his mother. Things worsen for her when she is diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer. The one bright light in her life is her “other half”, her childhood friend Jung Su min (Uhm Seo hyun). Or so she thinks. What remains of her life is completely shattered when she finds her husband and best friend in the midst of an affair. Even worse they are not remorseful and mock her poor condition. Things get physical between her and her husband and he winds up pushing her, in her weak state, into a glass table. As her life light dims, she hears her best friend and husband talking about life insurance and how she was just going to die anyway. She comes to finding herself having traveled back in time to before she married her murderous spouse (2013). Fate has given her the opportunity to change her life path and get revenge on those that wronged her. You want my husband? Well you can have him. She discovered she can change her fate by having key events transfer to someone else. And she cannot think of anyone who deserves her horrible husband more than her former best friend. Can Jiwon get revenge, change her fate and find love in the second chance?

Review

This is an interesting and unique time travel romance. It ends happily. I would watch it again and recommend it to others. I read that Park Min young went on a very restricted diet to be even more thin for her role as a cancer patient and want to say she just, overall, did an outstanding job of portraying the role. I think she is a remarkable actress and I seek out series where she is in a lead role. Having seen Lee Yi Kyung in comedic roles, I was unsure he could play the sleazy, evil ex husband well, but he did an incredible job making the viewer loath the character.

Spoilers

I think it is a dramatically different experience watching this after having read the web novel and/or webtoon versus never having read either. It does follow the webtoon closely, which is good, but there are some deviations I do not think improved the story line or made it better adapted to a live show. I think they did it to add intrigue but, to me, the events from the webtoon were compelling enough.

The things that were different from the comic to the webtoon:

1. In the comic the Yoo Ji Hyuk (Na In woo), her former college classmate, who harbored an unrequited love for Jiwon, discovered her body after realizing she was missing from the hospital. He was so devastated by her death that he killed himself in the ocean. He didn’t ever have a fiancé and Jiwon was his one true love. He always knew he loved her but stayed away because he thought she found happiness elsewhere and didn’t want to interfere. That’s why he made an effort to get closer to her when they regressed. He wasn’t going to let her husband ruin her life again. In the live action version they chose to have him die in a car accident which, I felt, was less impactful.

2. In the Webtoon version, the lady supervisor, who becomes a good friend of Jiwon, had a very different romantic story. In the Webtoon, Yang Juran’s (Gong Min jeung) love interest was younger than her and had a fun, carefree personality. Because her married life was so difficult and she was so serious at work, it made sense for her to fall for the younger man. There was some moral conflict in the comic about whether it was okay to fall for him, but she lost out at the end. In the live action, Mrs. Yang’s love interest is Lee Suk jun (Ha Do kwan) who is an austere, older executive who is unapproachable to most but shows a softer side to Mrs. Yang. It took out the whole Noona trope and added in a cold executive vibe which I did not feel was a good fit for a side romance.

3. In the webtoon, Jiwon convinced Mrs. Yang to get tested for her stomach and that’s how she found out early enough to fight the cancer. It became a plot hole, in the live version, when Mrs. Yang’s cancer was not terminal like Jiwon’s was in the Webtoon version. Yet, in the live version, Mrs. Yang caught the cancer early, without any intervention from Jiwon. That type of cancer is infrequently caught in the early stages so it made less sense for Mrs. Yang to catch it early all on her own.

4. In the live action version, I didn’t like how active of a role Jiwon had to take to take down Minwan and Sumin. In the scene where she catches them cheating, she gets in a physical altercation with Sumin and Minwan which makes it look like she was the aggressor and the push that wound up ending her life was just them fighting back harder than they should have. They did not highlight, in the live action, that she was still alive after she fell against the glass table and they did nothing to try to save her life. The moral ambiguity continued through the live action when Jumin was completely willing to let Sumin die in her place. In the comics, once Minwan and married, they continued to attack each other. They self destructed. Minwan’s azoospermia took a more active role. After su-min “lost” her fake baby, the mom was a nightmare about conceiving and blaming her all the time. The home life was hell with the mom. She went to get fertility testing at the moms behest and demanded Minwan get tested too and that’s how she found out. She brought it to the mom and the mom was so angry she had a stroke. In the webtoon , Sumin became her mother-in-law’s sole caretaker and tormented her to get revenge for the way she was treated. But she was also was cruel to the mother-in-law after the stroke simply because she was not a very nice person as evidenced in the way she treated Jiwon when she had terminal cancer. Sumin’s evil nature was further revealed in the Webtoon when she resolved to kill the mother-in-law by putting air in her IV line. There was a witness and she was caught and sent to prison. Meanwhile Minwan decided to get ride of Sumin for insurance money and cuts her brakes. He hears about his mom and rushes over, forgetting about the brakes and dies. Sumin then escapes from custody and tries to run over Jiwon with a car but Mr Yu jumps in front to save her and goes to the hospital. SuMin is captured again. In the webtoon, Sumin, the mother, and Minwan bring about their own destruction while the Jiwon and Jihyuk build their relationship and remain happy. I liked that the Webtoon did not make Jiwon actively steering events so that others died. Having them self destruct made her a much more heroic and sympathetic character.

5. In the comics the characters weren’t quite so intensely bound by the concept of “transferring fate”. No one died by a coffee table again. Their actions had a real impact on the timeline and they weren’t as helpless.

6. There was no ex fiancé in the Webtoon. It was a huge cliche and caused way more drama than necessary. Oh Yu Ra (Kwon Bo ah or simply BoA) was a bland, stereotypical spoiled chaebol type with little dimension beyond “she’s just crazy”. It created a love triangle that was completely unnecessary to the plot.

7. The twist that Mr Yu regressed as well was made way too early in the show. In the comic it was a last reveal, and done through a letter while Mr Yu was in the hospital. Jiwon learned everything he had done for her and how long he loved her and why he died before. Her father brought him back from death. He overcame his fate to be with her.

8 The romance between the sister, Yoo Hui yeon (Choi Gyu-ri), and the chef, Baek Eun Ho (Lee Gi Kwang) was way cuter in the comics. They barely developed it in the show. She tried really hard to win his heart and he had lingering feelings for Jiwon but eventually came around. They shared a love of desserts.

**MAJOR SPOILERS***

I didn’t expect to like this so much. It’s over the top and makjang in some parts but very entertaining just like - or maybe even better, than the webtoon it's based on.

Park Min Young is very charismatic. Asides from having an amazing smile, she has this likable quality that makes you want to be her friend and root for her character onscreen. Her ability to both laugh and cry at the same time in one of the later scenes is a good showcase of the turmoil her heroine goes through and how it affects her.

All performances here are good and it’s impossible to compare them since we are talking about very different personalities, so what I expected from each of them was different as well. This is a female centric show and the female lead is the main character; the rest are supporting characters, but it works. Kang Jiwon is likeable, displays both strength and vulnerability, and tries to proactively use her knowledge of the future in subtle ways to turn her life around. She does get a lot of help from other characters, but this makes it more believable.

Su Min, the antagonist, also does exceptionally well. She is merely catty in the beginning, but she devolves into one of the most disturbing characters…the type of person who would try to drown you in one minute, then send a love letter to you the next. She does just that. At the end of the series, I still couldn’t figure out if she loved the female lead or hated her. Her obsession with Ji Won was very chilling.

I also liked the male lead, Ji Hyuk, a lot. His character may seem boring but it balances out the rest of the more extreme, personalities. He starts as a passive character who does nothing, is confused by his feelings towards Ji Won and as a whole is very regretful when she dies. But by the end, he becomes one of the most decisive, supportive and devoted male leads…as well as being an extremely kind person who brings out the best in her. I thought they had an adorable chemistry.

I was more confused by Min Hwan, the male antagonist, because the actor had a very comedic manner that it made me wonder if they should have gotten a more serious actor. I got some genuine laughs out of his stupid facial expressions and ridiculous way of talking and thinking that I had to remind myself that he was a killer who was violent towards women!

One of the strongest points of this drama is the lessons it had. Not just about literally having second chances in life, but the importance of valuing yourself and surrounding yourself with the right people…not just in terms of choosing the right partner when it comes to romance, but also in terms of forming genuine friendships. Anyone who has chosen the wrong friend, who has been betrayed by a loved one or worse, whose loved ones betrayed them, might get something out of this. Also, it wasn’t just about choosing the right friends who care about you, but also about being supportive of other women. It was great how Ji Won didn’t just grow into a woman who learned to care for herself but also one who cared for others…her support for her female co-workers (one who was experiencing something similar to what she did in the past) was a great message.

The character of Yura was one of the few things I disliked about this show…she just didn’t fit in and felt like an evil Mary Sue they added last minute to create more drama. They already had enough of that with Su Min and Min Hwan.

Leia Mais

The beginning of this drama was great. It was very engaging and together with the characters we discovered what had happened. I was curious what Ji Won had to do to change her life and how she would achieve it. However, around episode 10/11 it became predictable. I didn't have as much fun watching this drama as I did at the beginning. That's why I stopped watching it several times and then came back to it. But don't get me wrong, this drama is really good. With top actors, great OST and plot. After episode 11, there was simply an element missing that would completely absorb me.


I don't think Yura's appearance was a bad idea. It added to the plot and ultimately made sense.
