The drama tells the story of Kang Ji-won (Park Min Young) who dies at the hands of her husband and best friend after finding out about their affair. She is transported 10 years into the past and is determined to change her fate.
At a press conference, the director and cast discussed the drama.
Here are five reasons to watch “Marry My Husband”:
1. Romantic comedy queen Park Min Young
Actress Park Min Young is the queen of Korean romantic comedies. The actress has starred in countless hits including her most recent drama “Love in Contract.” You can always count on quality acting from her, and she won’t disappoint in “Marry My Husband.” She said, “Besides small details such as her gestures, how she uses her voice, her clothes, and her hairstyle, I focused on creating a person who truly hit rock bottom. Given my age, I thought about when else I would be able to pour this much passion and energy into a character, so I put my all into creating this character.”

2. Characters that you will love and love to hate
Stars portray different characters in “Marry My Husband” including Yu Ji-hyeok (Na In-woo) and Baek Eun-ho (Lee Gi-kwang). About his role, Na Inwoo said, “He’s someone who can provide everything for the person he loves whether it’s an emotional or material need. His only flaw is he’s a bit clumsy at expressing his feelings.” Lee Gi-kwang stated, “Eun-ho is like a sunflower. He’s only ever liked Ji-won and he has a lot of cute lines. He’s someone who can express innocent and child-like love.” There are also the backstabbing antagonists like Park Min-hwan (Lee Yi Kyung) and Jeong Su-min (Song Ha Yoon). Lee Yi Kyung playfully commented, “He’s a detestable character even from my perspective.” He and Song Ha Yoon also joked about how each other’s character was sometimes worse than their own.

3. Sweet justice and revenge
After dying at the hands of her treacherous husband and best friend, Kang Ji-won is determined to get revenge after she is transported to 10 years in the past. Director Park Won-guk said, “It’s a refreshing drama where the villains will get punished without mercy.” Park Min Young added, “Kang Ji-won has a lot of anger, to the point where she has no mercy and does not forgive her enemies.” The revenge is all the more satisfying considering the sweet and sacrificial nature of Kang Ji-won.

4. Taking control of destiny
Befitting the new year, “Marry My Husband” is also about a new chance at life as Kang Ji-won takes charge and decides to live a completely different life the second time around. Director Park Won-guk said, “It’s a series where she makes way for a new fate. She meets good people, has new experiences and opportunities, and gains courage. It’s a story where she changes her gloomy fate into one that is sparkling.” Park Min Young also said, “Kang Ji-won is a character who has low self-esteem, is warm-hearted, kind, and not independent. She’s a person who has had a lot stolen from her.” It’ll be cathartic to see Ji-won embrace her new lease on life. In fact, it can provide inspiration for viewers who wish to change their fates as well.

5. Romance
“Marry My Husband” is a melodrama with the plot being full of betrayal and revenge. However, there will be moments of sweet romance that one can look forward to. Park Min Young commented, “Ji-won never experienced receiving love so when she does, it feels overwhelming. She’s an extremely lonely person, so I was very happy that she was able to receive a lot of love.” With a character deserving much love, the romance will be all the more sweet when Ji-won receives love from those who support her, such as her first love Eun-ho as well as her newer love Ji-hyeok.
