Why Did I Get Married Too Movie Download Netnaija
Dagny Westall
An ill woman receives the final blow when she learns her bestie and husband are having an affair. She dies soon after, but is given a second chance at life. When she wakes up 10 years in her past, will she be able to change her future and wreak revenge havoc on the people who ruined her life?
Our fairytale turns the page to its final chapter, circling back to how it all began. With significant character growth and satisfying villain takedowns, the story remains imbued with magic to the very end, as our leads take their final steps towards a happily ever after.
EPISODES 15-16
Driven to desperation by his debt, Min-hwan pays Yoo-ra a visit at her hotel suite, requesting for her to provide the means with which to take Soo-min out. That works out perfectly for Yoo-ra, since Soo-min is holding an incriminating voice recording over her head. With a little assistance, Min-hwan will take Soo-min out and go down for murder, allowing Yoo-ra to wash her hands of these pesky shrimps.
If you want a contrast to MMH, try Call it Love (Disney +/Hulu US). It is also ostensibly a 'revenge' drama but one where (this isn't a spoiler as it's part of the premise) you don't really want her vengeance to succeed. The leads (esp ML) convey a quiet yearning that is beautifully done. It's more of a character study than a Makjung, but I haven't felt so invested in an OTP getting together for a while...
The show was elevated by Lee Yi-kyung and Song Ha-yoon. They both were perfect. And the ending for both of them (and the awful mother) was perfect. Yu-Ra was just added to die, and was a annoying character.
I like makjang, though, and was never under any illusion that this show was part fantasy, part makjang, part rom-com. I also don't require for "rules of fate" to be consistent as long as they're fun and don't end with philosophical musings on the painful nature of being human--and I thought this drama delivered on that.
My absolute favorite scene of this drama may end up being the physical fight between Soo-min and Min-hwan in the pension house. I literally sat up and watched every...single...second. Who was going to win out? Who was going to die? How was it going to play out?? I honestly usually don't focus on violence that closely--it was successfully not only about their physical relationship but also their mental states of desperation...and then also the way that the "fate" in this show was seemingly as much a roll of the die as it was about something fixed and directly transferrable.
It's that...or the last scene of Soo-min having a full-on mental breakdown in jail. The way the prison guards were calming her by rubbing her back while she was simply wild with fear and delusion was simply astounding.
New Drama Word for me: Makjang
Googled and found in Dramakicks.com:
"In the context of dramas, makjang is a type of drama that is difficult to understand or accept based on common sense or the moral standards of an average person. It chooses to play up outrageous storylines to hook viewers in despite how ridiculous the story goes. These dramas feature things such as forced situations/settings, tangled relationships, affairs, and birth secrets.
When I first heard about the show, I was concerned about the length whether show would have enough meat to fill out 16 episodes and my hunch proved right. The show would have been more effective with 12 or 14 episodes.
I wasn't fan of Yu-ra. She was just a plot device to punish villain's without getting lead's hand getting too dirty or turning them into darker shade of grey. She was their to increase episode count and to take on Ji-hyuk's fate and die.
I liked many things about this drama, particularly the outstanding performances. I also really appreciated the nice, long, complete ending that was delivered. Too often k-dramas stop short at the denouement and give us very little to savor for the completion. We even got a wedding scene.
@solstices, I like your take on the moral ambiguity aspect as I must admit this is the one piece of the story that just didn't quite work as well for me. I felt at times that Ji-won and Ji-hyuk manufactured situations to bring out the innate bad behaviors of the antagonists. Maybe I didn't watch closely enough. Would they have behaved as such otherwise? Was the gift of reliving those 10 years not enough for JW and JH? Ahh well, the story wouldn't have been quite as interesting without that and the transfer of fate rules.
I hope it's okay to say this now: I'm glad that this drama didn't handle the infertility storyline the same way the comic did. I'm also glad that it toned down the fates of Min-hwan and Soo-min. I really wish it had given Soo-min a different fate entirely, but alas.
The ending of ep 16 was happy, really happy, imo a little too happy. I felt that way about the comic, though. Such unadulterated happiness felt a little tonally off after the face of all that misery, especially when in the drama the main couple orchestrated a lot of the other characters' downfalls. I also wish they'd had more follow-up on the side couples, who I cared about far more than the main couple. We go that far into the future and we don't get definitive endings for Hui-yeon and Ms. Yang?
In the end I'm gonna say what I've said before: the drama did a good job trying to improve upon things, but imo in the end was still limited by the source material. My complaint was that Soo-min in the comic was like a cardboard cutout villain, and in this drama Soo-min was a great character, while the role of cardboard cutout went to Yoo-ra.
I just have to add this as more evidence to my theory that revenge stories just aren't for me, unless the story ultimately ends with the person deciding to let go of their anger and desire for retribution and live their best life.
I'm with you on the ending. I thought they would find a way to punish the bad people that involved the realization that those people were simply irrelevant. Maybe it's my American sensibility, but I found the way Ji won and Ji hyuk behaved to be distasteful, and I didn't find the rationale that they had to engineer events so that the good people avoided the bad fates very convincing. The acting was great as usual, but the story left me unmoved and unsatisfied.
I thought the drama veered from the source material in order to really try to convince the audience that the bad people were bad enough (despite the leads giving them chances) that they had to meet their demise.
My tastes run more towards the darker side of the drama spectrum, so I've been watching stuff like A Bloody Lucky Day and A Killer Paradox recently. The problem with Marry My Husband is that, for all its fluffy rom-com accoutrements, its revenge element is almost identical to what you might find in the shows mentioned above. Like Lee Tang in A Killer Paradox or Ji-an/Jin-man in A Shop for Killers, Ji-won is in a kill-or-be-killed situation (or, even worse, a kill-or-Joo-ran-dies situation). In fact JW's situation is arguably worse: you might escape from a phalanx of hitmen if you're extremely lucky, but you can't run away from fate. So I find it very hard to condemn JW and Ji-hyuk, both of whom have already died violent deaths once before.
I do blame the writer, though. What's with JW's dad being such a sinister figure, letting death play such a crucial role in his game of second chances? I was hoping that things could get resolved without anyone dying, but alas it was not to be.
I agree with most of what has been written here (and thanks @solstices), but I really needed Ji-won to fully address that her MOTHER WAS PART OF A PLOT TO KILL HER before she could be that happy. I mean, a little therapy, please?
Yes, that part definitely seemed randomly left off as a loose end. I thought we might get a 2-for1 jail visit scene in the end, where Ji Won is visiting her mom and Su-Min, both in each their jails. And they could have shown how each person was still trying to manipulate Ji-won, which might have given her some moral justification for everything she had done to bring them down. And that visit would definitely have made Su-min go cuckoo!! A lost opportunity
Song Ha-Yoon was stunning in this role. Her character was the most interesting, she wasn't a clown villain like LYK, her reasons and her ways were well written. Her acting did justice to her role. It's sad they went on the makjang side with money, murders by adding a new villain etc because I don't think her character needed it.
Welp, that ended. Liberal fast forward button. Also they started using a weird filter at the end there, hmmm. The beginning was meh with some good points, but then it went to hell and just became bad, but at least I got my bean.
3. To answer your question, lol. At the end of the year we all do a count of how many shows we have watched. A bean per show. So I got a bean for finishing this terrible drama, so I can add it to my bean count at the end of the year. Then depending on how many beans you get, you can give as many beans as you want to your favorite shows of the year. It is just a fun thing dramabeans does for us beanies(commenters). I hope this answered your question.
No, old dramas don't count. ?
I only started watching new dramas towards the end of 2023, otherwise I just went picking whatever looked fun, was liked by others, and preferably had a "no" to the question "Is the ending sad" on DoesTheDogDie.com
I think you made a good choice catching up on the older ones ...a great way to pick up on the beginnings of some of the tropes that are standard in Kdramas and are still evolving. I also enjoyed watching some of the bigger stars in their earlier works which brought them into the spotlight (like Ji Sung in 'Secret Love' and "Kill Me Heal Me" ---both such different projects) or Jang Hyuk's breakthrough comedy in "Fated to Love You". Hopefully you found some other classics. Too bad there's no bean count for the 'oldies but goldies'. Some of my favourite watches are from 2013---2017. Maybe a 'Vintage Bean' count would be fun one year.
