The unique plot
While time travel may not be groundbreaking, the unique twist of combining it with a revenge theme in Marry My Husband adds a refreshing touch to the storyline. The original character, Ji Won (Park Min Young), is initially portrayed as a submissive individual, resembling a doormat who allows her husband to mistreat her without resistance. However, when armed with the knowledge of her husband's betrayal, after time traveling Ji Won transforms into a more courageous and assertive character, fueled by the desire for revenge.
The prospect of Ji Won resetting her life, aided by Yoo Ji Hyeok (Na In Woo), to confront those who wronged her, including Park Min Hwan (Lee Yi Kwang) and Jung Soo Min (Song Ha Yoon), adds an intriguing layer to the narrative. The inclusion of subplots involving other characters further enhances the overall appeal of the storyline, promising a compelling, unique, and multifaceted plot.
Well rounded cast
In a first-time collaboration, Park Min Young joins forces with the emerging actor Na In Woo, known for his role in the 2022 K-drama Jinxed At First, where he starred alongside Girls' Generation's Seohyun. In Marry My Husband, Na In Woo takes on the character of Yoo Ji Hyuk, becoming Ji Won's new love interest following the mysterious time travel. The plot later unveils Ji Hyuk's unrequited love for Ji Won, adding an intriguing layer to the storyline.
Lee Yi Kyung, recognized for his comedic brilliance in Welcome To Waikiki, surprises viewers by embracing a different persona. Contrary to his iconic comedic role, Lee Yi Kyung tackles a new challenge in Marry My Husband, portraying Ji Won's cheating husband, Park Min Hwan. This departure from his usual comedic persona will showcase his versatility as an actor.
Song Ha Yoon, portraying Jung Soo Min, is set to showcase a new facet of her acting skills. While previously playing Kim Ji Won's supportive best friend in the popular K-drama Fight For My Way, this time, Ha Yoon embodies a different role as Ji Won's best friend in Marry My Husband, but with a less pleasant and kind personality.
Lee Gikwang steps into the shoes of Baek Eun Ho, a popular and handsome chef with a shared history with Kang Ji Won and Jung Soo Min. The intriguing twist lies in what course of action Baek Eun Ho will take upon reuniting with Kang Ji Won, his first love from high school, adding a layer of complexity and anticipation to the storyline.
Completing the cast, Gong Min Jung transforms into Kang Ji Won's colleague, Yang Joo Ran. Previously facing setbacks at work and in life, Joo Ran undergoes a change as she encounters Kang Ji Won in her second life, promising an additional subplot to enrich the overall narrative.
Park Min Young’s transformation
Talented actress Park Min Young dedicated herself to a physical transformation, reaching a weight of 37 kilograms to authentically portray Ji Won's character, who battles cancer, in Marry My Husband. The production team commended her commitment, noting that Park Min Young spared no effort in realistically embodying the role of a cancer patient, leaving everyone on set surprised. The upcoming series will skillfully capture the evolving vibes of Kang Ji Won before and after her revival, and fans are encouraged to show keen interest.
Expressing her thoughts on the drastic weight change, Park Min Young stated that it was her way of accurately conveying not just the physical appearance but also the emotional pain her character had to endure.
Furthermore, the actress opted for a short haircut to accentuate Kang Ji Won's transformation after traveling back in time. She emphasized the distinct purposes and auras of the past and present versions of the character, while also striving to create an intersection that highlights their shared identity as the same person.
Based on a beloved Webtoon
