Perfect Marriage Revenge (2023)

Too Much One sided Drama

2nd wife's son and a daughter of wedlock perfect couple
why this OLD granny is so one sided with younger son
why whole world is so easy for this couple
i mean this drama places problems for couple and resolve it even before problem is explored
SHORT 12 EP REVENGE DRAMA IN WHICH ONE SIDE IS PURE EVIL AND ONE SIDE IS SAINTS
THIS BROTHERS ARE FIGHTING BECAUSE OF THAT OLD GRANNY BEING TOO MUCH
I GET IT WHAT THEY DID TO OUR FL WAS so wrong, but the main culprit of that her ex bf, she has no revenge for him
but because that idiot liked her younger sister she took revenge of younger sister not the man

it is called selective revenge
bad people suffer ? i mean half of bad people are still with her including her father grandfather and ML
ML took advantage of mentally abusing woman and force himself on to her and made her pregnant
FL only took her revenge on his stepmother Why because she is stepmother and stepmother should be bad person, even if she hasn't done anything she was already a bad person. Drama Logic
and her sister who i don't think did anything that was so bad against her anyways, it wasn't sisters fault that FLs boyfriend liked her ? she took revenge on her sister for being liked by a coward man ?
the Main culprit of everything was just forgotten ? SML was reason of everything but she don't want to take revenge on him because director told her not to..
her jerk father is forgiven because he provided semen for her birth.......
grandfather is forgiven because he isn't worth taking revenge on.....
i don't think FL improved her situation at all, from one abuser to another(ML) it just a transfer of slave in which slave think she WIN

its hard to link to this main leads because the are having everything too easy in there story
struggle is what makes viewers connect to characters
i started this show just to watch Sung Hoon playing male lead here but his acting is so flat much lower then what he showed in five enough and Woori

Might include spoiler

I really love the chemistry between FL and ML, it's so overwhelming. Sitting beside each other and just talking casually is already thrilling what more when they are looking at each other eyes.
In the beginning, I feel devastated how everyone around her is acting normally behind their devil intention towards her, her so called husband, the acting supportive sister (during the preparation of her wedding), and that ever evil adopted mother. On the other hand, she shows nothing but pure kindness and warm smile to everyone. But, after that "time travel" and her revenge started, just wow, the warm kind hearted woman turned into someone that you're probably regret once you messed up with. And she found a right and perfect knight who will stay at her side and will protect her at all cost.

I just loving this revenge drama more and more 💜 Kudos to all cast!

I'm posting this comment for some friends from BOD.

NOTE: this review was used as a thread while watching the drama with friends. So, you can get our live reactions to the drama in the comments zone.

Production: cheap. The direction looks between weekly and daily drama. Which is nothing to be ashamed of, as the visual quality of these dramas has definitely improved in recent years. I just assume that the budget is limited. As for the actors, I dont see them often, and some of them are more regular of the sitcom/makjang with 50+ episodes. A few familiar faces and names used to support roles. Especially Jin Ji Hee (from Penthouse). Anyway, there are still good actors.

Episode 1.
First ~20 minutes. Disparate. Avalanche of scenes and characters, difficult to link. Lines of exposition under your nose and worst: people talking about other people you've never seen, and about situations that still don't mean anything. Impossible to memorize or concentrate.
And to nail this in a coffin: no catchy or dramatic scene; apart from the gallery director's shout-out to her assistant Madame Oh and Yu Ra looking at Se Hyeok cam. I had the impression that I hadn't watched anything, that my mind was elsewhere, and that it was so painful that I didn't feel like watching again to take down the information I could only miss.

An incomprehensible misstep coming from the writer of "Feel Good to die", whose exposition was good, and the first scene excellent. By the way, I rec this drama in the comedy-fantasy genre (no romance).

However, things quickly work out like a miracle. The writer insists on repeating names and links. Normally this would be cumbersome and annoying, but here I really needed it. Good scenes appear: people looking at the heroine's painting, their acerbic comments, then the meeting between FL and ML.
It's done, the drama is on track, and the rest of the episode gets better and better. Auction scene, accident, hospital. Funny wink with the big white truck. Like to say the drama will subvert or parody makjang tropes.

Episode 2.
The heroine's change of attitude is not credible. She changes completely.
But hey... I'm not picky, I'll accept that and see what happens.
The rest is a straightforward story, obstacle after obstacle. All focused on the main character. So, of course, it works very well. Everything is crystal-clear, and there's no difficulty in situating the characters as there was at the beginning. The pace is fast, and scenes enough dramatics. It's OK!!
A few clichés with the ML, but again, it all works. It seems naive, but even the romantic scenes are good. It's ultra-easy to watch and understand. No mining, even the flashbacks are laid out naturally. I hardly see any hidden tricks. It's classic, popular storytelling with the aim of giving pleasure to the audience. If you like the drama, thank the screenwriter first!

Episode 3+.
The drama is fun to watch. It focus on the main story without loosing time on side-plots, what I like a lot.
It's 12 episodes but 1h15 each. What is a 15h drama, close to the regular x16 one hours ones.
The attitude of the FL becomes more credible, as she's struggling more with her old-self.

Even with low budget, the director can sometimes paint beautiful scenes and aesthetic:
For example the scene in the night bar with very vivid colors, magic lights, reflection in mirror, blurry effects.

It's not a drama we can take too seriously (and I guess it's not the intention of the writer).
But I find myself involved regularly when it's enough dramatic. A bit like in The Penthouse.

This is a bonafide discovery

I am watching Perfect Marriage Revenge real-time.

Perfect Marriage Revenge is a drama which is really outside of my comfort zone, but I thought that I would give it a try to expand my horizons. The actors are not my usual circle of friends either. However, the opulent life style and the Blue Plate fashions on display alone seemed worth the price of the time commitment. The drama is about marriage and revenge (go figure) and being clueless in Korea. Also, it is about marriage musical chairs. Nonetheless, I did find this drama enticing on a gossip worthy level. However, just when you think you have this drama all figured out, Perfect Marriage Revenge dramatically jumps into hyperspace. The drama becomes a whole other animal. It is very sexy (in a PG13 sort of way) and complicated, with a drama twist.

Don’t forget to take time to explore the fashions on display. The reason for revenge, however, will floor you. Based on a web drama, Perfect Marriage Revenge is a Romance Marriage Drama. Personally, I would call this a melodrama. While Perfect Marriage Revenge may not win awards for writing, it may win for inventiveness and acting. Right now, there is lots of Head Talk (Talking to yourself about the drama) with this one. You betcha.

The MC is not harsh enough.

It's actually a good series, and it has some good start. But if you have been reading Cnovels or revenge novels, you can easily differentiate the MC from those similar characters. I have to emphasize on this part as this was indeed a revenge series.

For one, she's not harsh enough. I've seen revenging female protagonist before and they can be really badass, but the MC was just around or below the average. The first revenge she did was the only time I felt satisfied with. The next ones are too amateur. I get that she has to transition to her villain era and I liked that there's a character growth for a change, as most if not all of those revenge stories and movies I've seen has already a determined and badass character change at the start. But it's been 8 episodes already and she was still somewhat affected by changes, she's easily troubled, she can sometimes be smiling evilly to her enemies but she can also be seen cowering and wearing her troubled emotions on her sleeves. Her emotions can be affected with petty throws from her enemy. Again, there's nothing wrong about that as that was her character, but I was expecting an unaffecting, equally and more harsh, vicious, scheming and tough protagonist.

Her revenge left me unsatisfied. She's the good girl revenger. When trouble comes I instead worry for her if she can fix it. She's not the typical character that you can rely on that no matter what the enemies throw, she'll just smile evilly and even throw a bigger boulder to her enemies. She really needs to learn from those existing similar characters.

I also don't get the necessity of the marriage. I like it more if she focuses more on her revenge while doing it alone. I like it if they're independent enough not to rely on a man for her revenge.

Anyway, it's actually a good one and was worth watching. Despite all my misgivings from it, I still enjoy and will continue watching it. I just have to voiced out these things. Though the revenge part was prolonged and hashed out, most people might enjoy this.

Drama intenso

Realmente he amado este dorama, hace mucho que nada me atrapaba. Su historia, aunque un poco exagerada o poco creíble, da inicio a una serie de eventos que cada vez se ponen mejor. Me encanta los personajes, sus emociones tan intensas y como la protagonista debe ir cambiando para enfrentar cada situación que se presenta, por su lado el protagonista, siempre me ha gustado, ahora un poco más adulto sigue siendo muy atractivo y su actuación es buena.

Realmente uno se concentra tanto en la historia, que los capítulos pasan rapidísimo y ya quiero saber que va a pasar, espero siga igual o mejor en lo que venga.

A heroine of all betrayed wives!!

OMG, you have to watch this drama! I think i found a really good writer who is finally have an ability to lift women's power up.
and I think i found my ideal betrayed wife
heroine who will not put up anymore all the BS that people around her threw at her underestimating her, thinking she's fool, naive and stupid.

When you watch the first 60 minutes of the first episode of the drama ( 1 hr. 10 min per episode), it's probably hard to watched because all you see within that time frame is the character of the female lead's naivety, pathetic and it angers you to watch the people around her treating her like some kind of fool. My only comfort within that time frame is the very promising interaction of my guy Sung Hoon and our FL Jung Yoo Min.
But anyways please, dont give up! Bcoz towards the end of the first episode is the beginning of FL's transformation from being weak and naive to a badass one. The character development of the fl , happened right away in ep 1. And if you like the ending of ep 1 , you will be happy more🥰👍❤️ in ep 2. Also , Our male lead Sung Hoon ❤️really surpassed my expectation in this drama . Both ML and FL have a very good chemistry🥰!
What I liked in this cheating/ revenge drama
Is that unlike other betrayed wife drama , it will take many more episodes first before the wife's character action of revenge will be executed and no romance , sorry but if i watch a drama like this , i always prefer to have a romance and not just revenge, ill get bored but that just me. Also , you will not be disappointed of our main leads on- screen time, they have fairly descent time appearance on screen Ep 2 is the best example. Kudos to the writer!!

I cannot wait for the next episode, mainly i will be looking forward for FL and ML 's contract marriage and the process of their love blossoming while living together.
I will be looking forward FL's revenge to her family, the scumbag husband, the witch step sister and also it will be interesting how tge FL navigate to deal with ML's family( ML's mom seems like tge main hard core to deal with). But from what i saw ML's character, he seems like in love with her already and will be backing her up 100% specially now that he found out what FL been through
From her family.

A Revenge Saga With Fantasy Element

Adapted from the webtoon “The Essence of a Perfect Marriage” (완벽한 결혼의 정석) written by Young (영) and Lee Beom Bae (이범배), MBN’s latest makjang on the block is a revenge saga with a fantasy twist. Starring Sung Hoon and Jung Yoo Min in the lead roles alongside an ensemble casting that includes Jin Ji Hee, Kang Shin Hyo, Oh Seung Yun; the show uses the time-tested formula of “Contractual Marriage”. We have a conniving family scheming and plotting against their adopted daughter, a high-handed chaebol heir looking for an escape route from the arranged marriage scenario and a brother-in-law vying for his sister-in-law’s affections; seems like a perfect recipe for disaster, right? What makes this show exciting and spicy is obviously the revenge element; the natural chemistry between Sung Hoon & Jung Yoo Min is so flawless, you can’t help but root for them. Let’s talk about the first two episodes, so you can decide if you want to watch it!

Embora seja perceptível que foi uma novela com baixo investimento, conseguiram entregar muito amais que os doramas deste ano. Já faz um tempo que a coreia tem quisto inovar com histórias e roteiros diferente e mirabolantes. Isso foi mais que perceptível esse ano. Quem é dorameira raiz vai concordar comigo que os anos de ouro dos dramas coreanos foram 2016/2017. Como a romantica incuravel que sou adoro esse repetéco de romance cliche com CEOs, contratos de casamento, enimes to lovers, etc. Fazer o feijão com arroz não é demérito. A gente amaaaa.
A história foi ótima. AMEI a trilha sonora (Halo está no top da minha playlist agora). A atriz principal é linda de morrer e excelente atriz. Sou apaixonada pelo Sung Hoon. Fiquei feliz de ver ele fazendo um dorama de romance que me interessasse. Mas vamos falar a verdade que ele não é lá excelenteee ator. Mas melhorou do que era na época de My secret romance então meus parabens pra ele.
O resto do elenco entregou tudo também. Coreia sempre entrega tudo nas emoções, né. Você consegue sentir a dor, raiva, loucura dos vilões e também a bondade, amor e sinceridade dos mocinhos.
Bem, esse dorama foi um presente de 2023. Fazia tempo de não dava gritinhos de entusiamo e ficava com o coração quentinho com um dorama. Os únicos dramas coreanos que proporcionaram isso esse ano foram esse e "love to hate you".
Acredito que quem deu avaliações negativas não entendeu o propósito do drama.
Não é toda novela que tem que ter o mais extraordinário roteiro, atuação, efeitos sociais e etc.
Acredito que esse dorama cumpriu com o propósito dele. Que foi entregar o básico que dá certo. E como deu certo. Sai feliz demais, querendo encontrar outro parecido com esse. E não encontrarei...

Perfectly Sweet Revenge

Thoroughly enjoyable series. Maybe found one episode that was a bit weak but otherwise, it's a really fun ride. Didn't expect much when I started but I'm glad I picked it up!

The FL is an exceptionally talented artist who was adopted into her family and always felt like an outcast. One day after being betrayed by her step-mother, she ends up in an accident, passing away and waking up 1 year in the past. She becomes determined to rewrite her mistakes and get revenge starting with cancelling her wedding. The background set in the first episode felt a bit tedious but has relevant information that the FL later uses to exact her revenge.

The ML is a welcome green flag and made the perfect partner in crime throughout the series.

All the actors did a great job, especially the negative characters that brought the necessary spice to the show.

The ending was so perfect. Almost like a fairytale. And yet I didn't see it coming. I loved the plot twists the show introduced and the theme song is catchy as heck!

Definitely recommend watching this series!

vengo a quejarme.

Realmente quería que este drama me encantara.
La historia está bien, el problema es que siento que lo hicieron a la carrera, siento que hay situaciones en las que te quedas pensando: bueno, ajá, pero cuentame más, que pasó?
Hay demasiadas elipsis.
Dan a entender que ya sabes lo que pasó con algunas situaciones o algunos personajes, me dejan algunos pequeños hilos sin terminar y hace que se sienta desordenado y apresurado.

Aparte de ese pequeño tropiezo, me gustó bastante, pude empatizar con la protagonista, y sufrí cada minuto que le hacían la vida imposible.
