A Esposa do Meu Marido

Kang Ji-Won (Park Min-Young) is married to Park Min-Hwan (Lee Yi-Kyung), who is very lazy and in debt with a useless father and appaling mother. Kang Ji-Won discovers she is terminally ill then catches her husband and her only friend Jung Soo-Min (Song Ha-Yoon) in bed together. She accidentally dies and is re-born ten years previously. She decides to change her "new" life by making Jung Soo-Min marry Park Min-Hwan. She also gains in confidence and determination.

Now what I have not seen anywhere in any of previous reviews is the comedy of this series. Touted as a Revenge drama - yes I suppose it is. BUT I never stopped laughing as it was so totally unreal and the brilliant acting of the husband, Park Min-Hwan (Lee Yi-Kyung), is just so good. Don't know how they managed to keep a stright face even filming this as I was just folded over in laughter. As far I am concerned its a COMEDY!

I honestly had very little expectations for this, but it's surprisingly kept me interested so far. It's got comfortable pacing, nothing moves too fast or too slow. There is no dragging or overextending of emotional moments, it feels like everything is moving just right.

At the same time, I have to say I really dislike the tendency of kdramas to "justify" the main couple by throwing in flashbacks of how they've actually met before. Marry my husband joins other very good and prominent dramas with this cardinal cringy sin, which I completely dislike. I think it even takes away from the plot.

Otherwise, I really like and feel inspired by the storyline of having the second chance to do your life all over- and I really like that the main character does a full makeover physically and mentally. She questions her own past actions and decides she is going to fight for herself. She chooses to no longer be a pushover, and tries finding people who deserve her. I think it's really fitting to have this drama released in this day and age.

I heard it's a webtoon adaptation- I don't really know much about the webtoon so I can't comment on how well it was adapted. Regardless, the drama stands pretty well on its own, in my opinion.

Read the webtoon version, then came across the drama version. Thoroughly enjoyed it . The pure acting, expression and overall everything was flawless.

The cast did a great job. I absolutely dislike Koreans for their boycott culture if some scandalous comes up in someone's personal life. Whatever the actress does in Ber personal life doesn't matter as long as her performance is worthy!

Everyone worked impeccably to ensure the drama was a great success. The couple's chemistry is explosive, and despite many transformations, the plot nevertheless stays together and entices viewers to watch more episodes. I'm eager for the scenes of REVENGEEEE and for the couple to start dating. I'm engrossed in the drama.

Watched this from "recommendations" on my Prime. I was a skeptical at first, having no experience with the language or Korean dramas. It's funny, but after the first episode, you forget you're watching subtitles.

This is incredibly well-written and well acted. It grabs your emotions and makes you invest in the characters. There's enough back story to explain things without it going off on to some uninteresting tangent. There is great chemistry between actors (not just the lead ones) and an amazing sense of anticipation. Just when you think you know what's going to happen, a twist comes in. Realistic twists, not some far-fetched thing to wrap up a side story.

As soon as my phone pings, I'm on the tv to watch it full screen. I haven't felt such anticipation for a show in a very long time.

I've seen manhwa adoptions before (both with actors, as well as in animated form). Some better than others but when I stumbled over this one on my prime account, I dropped my viewing plans and cleared my schedule and watched the first 3 episodes (hours).

I don't know if it's the score (music), the scrip (that looks like it holds hand in hand with its source (love that 👌) or if the actors, direction or lighting and stylist had a finger in making this magical. Perhaps all of the above because it just CLICKED for me. I got swept off into the story, it took me where I first went in the manhwa and I couldn't say any negatives about it,

Sure, Su-min doesn't have her "pink'ish" hair, nor does a-hole of the year not his brown'ish hair but the actors ARE these characters. I have NO trouble believing them or notice who is who from a glance since the behavior (dirty or sweet) shines through everyone of the main cast.

Deep respect for the actors here. Not sure if they read the manhwa and laughed, cried and raged at some characters and that's why they are so incredibly adjusted to just BE THEM! But everyone had me mimic their faces. I was so caught up in it! Sumin pouted and I wondered why my brows hurt: I was glaring at her while at the same time "mirrored" her pout because I was so deeply invested into it.

When our heroine cried, feared or raged internally I "felt" all those emotions and was sobbing at several points, to the point that I had to apologize to the rest of the house that I just found a REALLY GOOD series, so that's why there is cheering, shouting and crying 😅

Needless to say, I cannot speak highly enough for this.

I know some will take issue with the lack of hair color on a few character, however I understand and have to respect the different culture of "blending in" rather than looking like a peacock in between shoots (or have horribly wigs that fans would perhaps also fault them for).
