Perfect Marriage Revenge (2023)

A perfect, 'Perfect Marriage Revenge'

Rarely do I find myself genuinely fond of both leading characters, but in this series, I couldn't help but root for them throughout. It's tough to witness even fictional characters endure exploitation and abuse, but the satisfaction of seeing them grow stronger and seek revenge is truly rewarding.

As the description suggests, this series revolves around the opportunity for a fresh start in life and love. Yi Joo takes charge, steering us through her journey of perfect revenge—a thrilling, romantic, and sometimes scary adventure. I'm glad I joined her on this ride because it was absolutely worth it.

Well that hit the spot

This was very well done and the entire cast did an amazing job.
It had some romance and revenge of course more revenge if always
welcomed but it was good. The male/female leads were fantastic and
the supporting cast was just as fantastic. From the wardrobe that the
cast had right down to the slightest thing in production it was spot on.
I read the webtoon and there was some things that they changed but
it still came out ok in the end. I was however a bit nervous that the
a lot of important things would get left in since they only had 12
episodes but it all came together. Maybe if they had the episodes
run an extra 5-10 minutes they could've had time to add in some things
though. Like it would've been a good thing to have the two sisters run into
each other a few times after it was all over and I really was looking forward
seeing that. I wanted Han Yoo Ra's nose to be rubbed in the fact that her sister
was living her best life. This is a show that I'll have on my rewatch list.

Ninguém esperava que fosse ser tanto

Por mais que o primeiro episódio pareça um belo novelão mexicano e, a abertura e os posters, deixem a série com uma cara de baixo orçamento, perfect marriage revenge acabou sendo um dos melhores dramas desse ano.
Os personagens são interessantes, o plot principalmente é ainda melhor e existem muitas reviravoltas durante os 12 episódios. Algumas coisas são previsíveis, mas você fica feliz que tenham acontecido daquela maneira.

Cada personagem tem a capacidade de roubar seu coração ou te fazer odia-lo profundamente, não existe um meio termo aqui!
É um drama um pouco mais curto mas não deixa a desejar em nada. Tudo aconteceu no momento certo e os episódios não são nada apressados.
E não se preocupe, o final não é ruim! Assista sem medo de choro.

Agradável de assistir

Esse drama realmente foi surpreendente, nem eu dei a mínima pra ele quando vi as poucas coisas sobre, mas depois de todo o alvoroço que foi todo mundo falando sobre e até amigas comentando tive que assistir e gostei muitooo.
Parecia novela mexicana de tanto plot twist que teve e eu nunca tinha visto um drama com tantos atores desconhecidos, acho que isso diz muito sobre o motivo de que ninguém dava nada por ele no começo, mas a trama realmente é muito boa, confesso que assistindo parecia até um conto de fadas, ela ser adotada, maltratada depois encontrar um cara tão incrível e sair por cima
Além da química do casal, que foram uns fofos, você se envolve com a história. Acho que não tenho muito mais pra dizer, gostei da forma que a vingança foi feita, simplesmente tudo de ruim que fizeram voltou pra eles da mesma forma.
O final que eles mereciam e a gente tanto queria

Honestly perfection

I'm normally not one to say a show is perfection, but I truly I felt this show hit all the sweet spots and did not leave you unsatisfied by the end. It never slowed down and there wasn’t any messy outside stories or drama that left you bored between scenes.

There have been so many cliche damsels in need of saving series that I was unsure on watching this one at first. But I am so glad I gave it a chance. I'll keep this as short and sweet as i can, since so many others have probably said the same with this being such a popular drama but I honestly had to write a review of one of my new favorites or I would burst!

While the main focus of this series was more about overcoming traumatic events both main leads went through in childhood and as adults, the love story between the main leads was still very sweet and to watch as they both started to find their sanctuary/home where they could both finally feel at peace with each other was beautiful to watch. They honestly grew together, and the male lead was amazing in how he cared for her. He is the epitome of what a partner should do and be when faced with someone they love who has gone through trauma.

First of all, the women in this series are the POWERHOUSES which I Ioved:
The female lead was nothing short of a woman learning to take control of her own life. Yes the male lead helped her but she was not a wilting flower when she discovered her own strength to fight. She didn't wait around for the male lead to solve all the problems, while yes she did lean on him when she needed to and he did the same, she was at the forefront of unraveling the web of deceit and hate her stepmother wrapped around her family before serving revenge on all of those who hurt them.

The Stepmother and stepsister were the epitome of villains, they did not pull any punches or rely on the men on the side lines to fight for them UNLESS it was part of their plan to use them. The stepmother was honestly amazing since there was zero overarching redemption arc for her, she was evil through and through which made her even better as a character. The step-daughter was more so spoilt than evil but she was still given her just desserts just like her mother.

The in-law women (mother, grandmother, sister, cousin - in -laws) were all strong, take no guff business driven individuals who took matters into their own hands when faced with obstacles. With the matriarch of the family being the grandmother who was the founder of the company, she worked as a carpenter first and grew from there, and never let others define what she could do which you can see mirrored in the the other women of this family who fight tooth and nail to protect those who they deemed family.

While the husbands and the evil brother were key with having the storyline progress, they were less dominant characters compared to the women in most respects. Although the evil brother does play a huge role in the finale, he's in between spoilt brat and evil demon level of the step mom and step sister of the female lead.

All in all I encourage you ALL to watch it so that viki can make more amazing originals like this one.

Sorry.....

There's no strong emotional development between the main leads; the male lead's acting is average; there's no proper explanation about the future (present). If there's time travel, going back to the present is an important element of the story, but without dealing with it, they give a simple ending with the past. 
 
This drama is good for K-drama beginners (time travel genre), but after watching many time travel dramas for me, they presented a simple revenge drama with the time travel element.
 
They had the choice to create a more dynamic relationship between the main leads by using her ex-boyfriend, and they had to create love triangle points too, like one spring night, but did not utilize those elements. It's better to sometimes use a third person to create strong emotional development between the main leads, like One Spring Night. If they use it more, it will become trash.

A good watch for me

I was patiently waiting every weekend for more episodes.

There are many things I love about this drama :
- the fact that it’s fast pace.
- there is something happening every episode and satisfying scenes
- love the leads chemistry
- ML’s family (except the brother) is wholesome. She finally found a family to give her the love she deserves, with her mother too.
- I always get spoiled because I love it, but we have some pretty interesting twists
- ML is such a green flag
- Both leads help each other and heal each other. They are each other safe place and home
- I found the revenge pretty satisfying, even if the father should have suffer more maybe. But still, in the end she’s on good terms with her dad and grandpa. That still okay for me.
- FL’s leads « family » and the ex + his family were so crazy and delusional. I was shock at time and it was something to watch. I was kept entertained
- perfect happy ending
- I was laughing so hard at the ex and the « sister » ending and when she showed up. The karma, he wanted her, he got her. Now a life of misery awaits them ahah got what they deserved
- the villain’s acting was so good, they were good at making us hate them


Some minus point :
- FL was kinda weak, got better towards the end
- I would have liked more romance, but since the plot is interesting and the revenge is more the focus, it’s okay. We still got sweets moments.
- I’m sorry, but ML’s wardrobe was hideous. It looked so bad for most of the drama.

Probably one of my favorite drama. I wasn’t bored, no unnecessary scenes and pretty satisfying. It keeps us hooked for more

The best revenge is massive success.

There’s an argument to be made about how Perfect Marriage Revenge had a perfect execution because it was a 12 episodes long drama and didn’t have time for unnecessary conflicts. Everything took its right time and was resolved in a cohesive way with the characters development.

Both leads were compelling and had amazing chemistry, but the secondary characters were equally interesting to watch. All the performances outstanding and you can tell the actors are enjoying themselves in their respective roles.

On a story about a woman looking for revenge against her own family, this kdrama had a perfect balance between makjang and romcom. Making it an easy and fun watch. I highly recommend it!

Perfect!

Literally sooo good! I loved it so much. Perfect acting, Perfect Romance, Perfect Revenge! Ahhhh so good! Never a dull moment. So worth the watch!

Sung Hoon finally landed himself a perfect role! He did so good. I'm so proud of him haha. Such a great ML. FL did so well too, especially for being a not so seasoned actress. She's so pretty.

I think it's safe to say I loved everything about it and I'll definitely be rewatchung. I love that it's only 12 Episodes, otherwise I feel like it would have dragged, but it was literally perfect:)

Highly recommend 10/10
