Marry My Husband 내 남편과 결혼해줘 [2024]

At this rate, it almost seem like anyone entangled with Ji Won inherits her karma. Still don't understand why Manager Kang got her fate, and now it looks like she's becoming Ji Won because her husband also is cheating and it might lead to her death. But some things are still different in the sense that Manager Kang has parents who love her whom she can rely on, and because Ji Hyuk has a Specialist on stand-by, her cancer can be cured.

 

As I have expected, Su Min won't necessary live the same marriage life as Ji Won because she's not the type that will let things slide. It's already evident, and OK, she's not super smart but at least still not as stupid as Min Hwan.

 

The ex-fiancée is frustratingly annoying. 😅 It did not help either because BoA's acting is not good. Did she approach Min Hwan in the webtoon, too? I read in comments that it was Su Min who was supposed to run her car at Ji Won.

 

With Ji Hyuk saving Ji Won, is this equivalent to the car accident he had 10 years later because it isn't time yet.

How, though? She'd need proof that he borrowed money from her. I can't remember if they recorded anything in writing?

 

I thought there was some IOU earlier. Can't remember. In any case, she can't be so silly not to have proof since she set out to trap him with the loan.

I think the moral of the story is the character of the person. In both Ji Won and Ms Kang's case, both were weak and bullied by the husband. That is the connector. But like you say, Ms Kang is becoming strong and has support, so she likely will recover, divorce the cheating husband, and strategy man can step in!

Is that BoA?! I was frustrated with ep12. Ji Hyuk held on to her hands tightly and yet Ji Won was the one to fling it away, in front of the ex! Then she goes on to break up with him because of her insecurities. That's as good as giving your man up to the other woman. How stupid is that. Then so much of the episode is her moping after the breakdup, which was caused by herself 🙄

 

[gilaswan]

I don’t remember the high school mates being at Sumin’s wedding at all in the webtoon. And there was no ex-fiancée at all either in the webtoon, so this plot line and character written in is quite annoying. It’s suddenly gotten very “trope-y” which is quite disappointing. And so we go through this whole sudden pull back and angsty pain from Jiwon when this whole story was supposed to be about triumphing from what had previously dragged her down - her tendency to just give up and give in to what looked like an “inevitability”. The way she’s suddenly backing off from the relationship with Jihyeon because of an ex does not make sense to me. After all, she’s an ex. It’s not like as though he was having a relationship with her (Jiwon) while still being with Yura. He had cleanly broken it off with her. It’s just Yura being (again another trope) a rich brat of a bully. And so extreme to want to plot Jiwon’s death by car accident with a truck?? Wow, how many of those tropes did they throw at us in a single episode??

Seems I'm wrong. She must now seduce Park Min Hwan, so that the cancer will transfer to Su Min? 🙄 This is beginning to sound ridiculous.

 

I hope she made a will, so that they will not have motive to kill her anymore.

 

But that scene between Su Min and Ji Won in ep13 was good. Gave me goose bumps.

 

[mademoiselle]

Episode 13 was so boring. I wasn't very interested to see the recount of what happened 6 days ago.

 

Also, I find myself wondering whether Park Min Hwan and Jeong Su Min are competing to see who is the stupidest. Or they just decided they will take turns?

 

Now that Ji Hyuk is awake and recovering, can he please take care of his crazy ex-fiancée that comes out of nowhere wreaking havoc? I know she's in the manga, but she wasn't that involved in making a mess. I just... really dislike this side plot, and the person playing it is just not working for me.

 

I would much prefer that screen time is given to Su Min and Min Hwan because these 2 can act.

 

I agree, @Chocolate, the show doesn't seem to explain anything. Not that I expect it will. How was the acting between them? Both good or one is better than the other? Seems like Knetizens have now noticed the actress playing Su Min and praised her for good acting.

@mademoiselle@Chocolate Have we all but fizzled out for this drama? Hahaha… I read the episode synopses for both episodes this week but can’t seem to bring myself to watch it. It’s suddenly gotten quite lame. Alas… I was enjoying the interactions between Jiwon and Jihyuk up until last week’s intro of ex-fiancée… Am now more invested in Captivating the King but doesn’t look like anyone is watching it here… 😅

Hahaha! A little, yes. The ex-fiancée completely ruins the momentum of the story-telling. Episode 14 was a lot better than 13, IMO. Manager Kang nearly experience Ji Won's fate if Ji Won hadn't smashed the coffee table in advance. At least Manager Kang was trying to catch her husband cheating with 2 policeman. She wasn't completely alone. So she has many witnesses now he tries to hurt her by pushing. She didn't catch him red-handed though, but at least that HR guy from Ji Hyuk's side now come forward saying he'll help her to visit a lawyer etc., and he is the witness of their adultery.

 

Still don't get the logic in this, but Ji Won thinks the reason her fate transferred to Kang was because of "a husband who cheats to have the thought of wanting his wife dead". So she decided to seduce Min Hwan again so that the fate can go to Su Min. Ji Hyuk intercepted it in the middle by sending the red heels to Yura, so Ji Won rejected Min Hwan's invitation to a date. Min Hwan strangled her at the end of this episode... 

 

I will keep watching. It's only 2 episodes left and I've nothing on for Mon-Tue anyway. Look forward to the new, upcoming drama now. Hahaha.

 

Captivating the King - are you updated? Not a fan of the pairing and sageuk tends to be heavy so I didn't feel like picking this up.

Hahaha it's true. I am quite sad that in the last few episodes, Su Min, didn't do much except throw tantrums. Min Hwan was also shouting a lot which was very noisy. Nevertheless, I still find this pairing more interesting than the main leads lol and they do act a lot better, but if I said that on twitter, I'd probably get bashed!

 

I am also puzzled by Ji Hyuk's inability to do anything to the ex-fiancee. Is his family not richer than hers? Why can she buy off the police regarding the car accident, and he can't even find out who caused it?

This transfer of fate thing - @gilaswan how was it in the webtoon? Is it the same as the drama ie. Ms Kang also got the cancer, but later transferred back to Su Min because Min Hwan was having an affair with the ex-fiancee? On the side, I also feel quite sorry for Su Min because she really is treated very badly by Min Hwan, until the next evil thing she says...

 

You were right @mademoiselle Ji Won is impetuous. She tends to act before the situation is fully resolved, which is risky. Which is exactly what happened in ep14. Why dump Min Hwan so sudddenly just because she knows he is already having an affair with another woman? She forgot that he has violent tendencies. And then, please, we have all wached enough TV to know that if someone is threatening you, please take off your super high heels and go run and hide in some room where you can lock the door 🙄

 

I was almost at the point of thinking, just kill her please. So disappointing that Ji Hyuk turned up 😂

 

What is the drama after this ends?

Glad I am not the only one losing interest at ep.13... Still not able to finish it. Yes, the ex-fiancee definitely made me lose interest to watch. I read that the actress is BoA, queen of kpop. Don't know her. 

 

I guess I should persevere too since there are only 3 more episodes left.

She is the main role in Devilish Joy. Very good chemistry with Choi Jin Hyuk. 

[gilaswan]

I guess I'm also finally watching this because... there's nothing else to watch at the moment while I wait for the next episodes for Captivating the King (yes, it's good. Leads are very good actors.)

 

Webtoon spoiler:

Spoiler

In the webtoon, Jiwon also puzzles over how it is that her fate transfers to Manager Yang, but she eventually concludes that the best response is to work against what fate throws at you, so she helps Manager Kang through the whole process, including seeing the doctor and getting the cancer discovered early so that it's entirely treatable. 

 

Jiwon also decides that the only way for Sumin to take on her fate is to now be the one that cheats on Sumin with Minhwan, but she does it through texting. Throughout, Minhwan does not know it's her though. But Sumin doesn't end up with cancer. She does worse - she ends up a murderer, killing Minhwan's mother. That puts her behind bars. This doesn't prevent Sumin from trying to destroy Jiwon's life while behind bars. She calls Jiwon's mother to tell the mum that Jiwon was going to marry a chaebol, and so mum tries to get Jiwon into giving her money by emotionally blackmailing her. The person who swoops in to save Jiwon from this was Jihyuk's stepmother. 

 

Minhwan tries to get money by buying out insurance on Sumin and killing her. He tampers with the breaks on his car and intends to get Sumin to drive it to meet him somewhere. However, he gets a call that his mum is critically ill (she had a stroke and Sumin left her to die instead of calling the ambulance, then goes to the hospital and injects air into her blood stream, causing mum to eventually die), and hops into the car he tampered with and speeds down to the hospital, only to lose control of the car (cos he disabled the breaks) and crashes the car. Car bursts into flames and he dies in the fire. 

 

From that point, Jiwon feels that the future is no longer known to her and she will live it best as she can with Jihyuk. However she does not want to marry him. They simply live together for some time, until she got pregnant. Then they got married. And had twins. 

 

As for Manager Yang, the HR guy in the show is someone much younger in the webtoon and is a regular office employee. He is in love with her and gets his brother to be her divorce lawyer. Manager Yang however does not reciprocate his feelings though they become close friends.

Pre-release

 

Su Min will experience the same scenario as Ji Won (except she's not sick). What was outstanding for me was the ending bit where you can see the actress went, "Waaa, si..." and her hand was shaking. The actress was really channelling that emotion.

[gilaswan]

Finished watching the 2 episodes which has left me thinking - has everyone gotten stupid suddenly?

 

Why does Jiwon run back to her desk but not take her phone with her and then “hides” where she can be easily seen? If you get such a creepy call knowing things you do, why don’t you call your boyfriend immediately, especially since he’s in his way to pick you up?

 

Why does Jihyuk even let her “seduce” Minhwan in such a clumsy manner when all the earlier moves were better planned and executed?

 

And the ex-fiancée - such a bad actress! She seems more stupid than evil. Her plans are so simplistic, it’s annoying to watch.

 

They could’ve just kept it simple and straightforward like in the webtoo. Than to add these new convoluted angles… sigh…

 

 

@mademoiselle for Captivating the King, yup, I’m current with the show. Wishing there was someone to discuss it with. Plot is good, acting is even better. At least that one is truly captivating and none of that long drawn angst…hahaha… like @Chocolate said, I was also thinking, just kill her already and go to jail just as fate intended for you guys cos you’ve all been excruciatingly stupid. Hahahaha…

[mademoiselle]

@ktcjdrama I have heard of BoA by name. Not a KPOP stan, so I don't know her music or background. Yes, I remember Song Ha Yoon in Devilish's Joy. I watched it because I thought the pairing looks good, but the drama itself is meh. She's also in Fight My Way.

 

@gilaswan Bahahahaha. Glad to know I'm not the only one thinking they are competing who is the stupdiest of them all! I think what happened at the end of the episode is planned as "for dramatic's sake".

 

I did read that Jo Jung Seok's performance was really good. Not so much from FL. The latest post I came across, he slept her. Hahaha... I kinda want to wait and see if the whole thing turn out good. Do you think they will have a happy ending? He's a King, and didn't he kill her family? How will they have happy ending?

 

[gilaswan]

@mademoiselle I too have heard of BoA but apart from the name, I don’t know anything else about her except that now I know she can’t act. Hahahaha… I dunno who’s the most stupid now. Ji Hyuk had to pay her off with a 4 Trillion Won business to end the engagement?? Why? It seemed like his family was more powerful and influential. Unless it’s cos there were prior partnerships out of “goodwill” because of an expected marriage union. But seems like in the alternate universe he did eventually end the relationship with her too, just that this time, he gets into a relationship with Jiwon, ya?

 

And then Eunho. Poor Eunho whose entanglement in this also does not make sense. What’s he honestly got to do with anything at all?

 

Captivating the King (cos there’s no thread. hahaha):

Spoiler

As for Captivating the King - ya, he did eventually sleep with her. But he’s still refrained from asking about her actual identity. Perhaps a case of “better not to know than to find out and have to do something about it”.

 

I don’t actually think he’s a bad king. Nor do I think he actually wants to be king. He’s really in it because he wants to fulfil his promise to his late brother - find out who harmed him and ensure that his son ascends to the throne. So he’s being a seat warmer. He probably knew that if his nephew were to ascend the throne too young, the uncle (whom he killed) and lackeys would attempt to take reign by being regent and manipulate him. 

 

He ascended the throne through “illegal” means by falsifying/re-phrasing the late King’s last words, and in the process had to sacrifice the FL in the first instance because he needed to protect his nephew from even his own mother (ie queen dowager), at least that’s what I think, cos he’s expressed regret to his personal guard for sending FL to her initial death years before such that each time it rained, he would go through a major bout of depressive anger. 

 

I don’t think FL’s acting is bad. Next to JJS of course not as good. But her character is also written to be that way - clever but naive and so makes very simplistic decisions that have far reaching consequences. Naturally though - how could she have the oversight and insight of the complexities of the court when she is not part of the court? 

 

I don’t know if it will have a happy ending. The only way I can see them being together is if it is eventually revealed who she is and he is able to restore her without punishment and marry her because she is nobility after all, and then abdicate throne at the right time instead of being dethroned through a coup. But there are vultures in the court and he does already have a queen.

[mademoiselle]

@gilaswan Ji Hyuk and Yura are family friends, so he didn't want to take it too far with her out of being polite and respect for her family. Probably not about who is more influencial or powerful. Both probably are strong in their area of businesses and could help each other and become stronger, that's why Haraboji wanted them to marry.

 

In the original timeline (drama version), he did break off their engagement. But it didn't lead to what we see now because Ji Won was already married to Min Hwan. I honestly didn't like Yura's reasoning of her meddling with Ji Hyuk and Ji Won's relationship. It felt forced and unnecessary.

 

OMG, yeah, Eun Ho's side-story was so random. Not even sure what she wants Eun Ho to do if he agrees to work with/for her. Did she think, because he was rejected by Ji Won, he naturally would develop some sort of hate towards Ji Won...? So she thinks she could manipulate him to punish Ji Won or get him to chase Ji Won and break those two up.

 

Captivating the King

Spoiler

Oh, so he still doesn't know her background? Or pretend he doesn't know?

 

Hahaha. The politics. So familiar. More or less always the same thing. Whether or not it'll end up being good really depends on the execution.

 

Does the Queen appear in the drama? Sometimes it is difficult to ship a royal couple when the King is already married with many wives. Will/are there any bitchy scenes between the concubines?

 

 

[Chocolate]

Thanks @gilaswan for the summary from the webtoon. That sounds more interesting than our last few episodes - was Su Min being abused by the MIL very badly to lead her to kill MIL?

 

Actually if we look at Min Hwan's character, even if Ji Won did not do anything, he is destined to cheat.

 

I also don't understand why the ex-fiancee would sleep with Min Hwan. Surely, it was not necessary to her plan for him to help breakup JW and JH - just need to throw money at him. From her perspective, wouldn't it be quite an "eeeewwww" kind of feeling 😅

@Chocolate I don't think she has ever slept with with him. They were still fully clothed lying on the bed when Su Min walked in on them. My guess is she was just giving him a lil' bit skinship so that he would do her bidding. Take note she kissed him on his cheeks only based on the lipstick mark.

I highly doubt that! 🤣 If that were so, likely there would be another twist on why Ji Won's fate was not fully transferred - because they didn't really DO IT hahahah.

 

I take the fully clothed thing as just one of those fails from all these dramas. The woman is always clothed in some manner, which is unrealistic but necessary because this is afterall fiction lol.

Wasn't the criteria of fate transfer being "the husband needs to have the thought of killing his wife" - that was all she needed. I doubt Ji Won would want to really sleep with Min Hwan if she had to seduce him.

Hahaha! But in episode 1, Min Hwan was in his undies and shirt was unbuttoned. Su Min was in his inner wear as well. In this scene, both are too fully clothed.

I have no idea what the criteria is anymore haha.

 

But that's a good point.

 

[Chocolate]

@mademoiselle You were right! It was a set up 😂

 

Ep 15 was quite good, I thought. In fact, it now seems a more interesting ending than the webtoon. I like that they left Su Min till the end to plot her revenge on Ji Won.

 

My takeaways from this episode:

 

1. All the scenes with Su Min are super interesting. That scene with Ji Hyuk at the bar, at least the writer didn't dumb her down. Her questions and Ji Hyuk's answers were unexpected. I also thought Na In Woo had one of his better scenes here. He was "plotting" instead of just showing his morose expression.

 

2. Park Min Young is better as a villianess than a romance lead hahaha. At least I can then dislike her legitimately lol. Her scene with Su Min at the lift was great! The actress playing Su Min is also wonderful conveying her uncertainty/"vulnerability" - very subtle.

I agree. I actually think it's the best episode. Watching MinHwan and SuMin is more interesting, lol...

[mademoiselle]

LOL @Chocolate @ktcjdrama everyone here lives for drama. Tofu and Tea have dropped the drama, but upon learning what happened between Su Min and Min Hwan, they are now interested to pick it up again!

 

The show is probably not going to explain this, but the bit about Manager Kang is so, how to say, illogical? I thought when she said she has evidence, it was because the HR guy is the witness. However, all of a sudden, because Min Hwan died, the dashcam video's images are restored. What the...?

 

Anyway, agreed with all that this episode is definitely more interesting, except I still don't appreciate the characters taking turns being stupid. In this episode, Yura is the stupid one. As filthy rich as she plays out to be, she doesn't have any other backup plan to handle Su Min's threat? Must she partner up with Min Hwan only...? I'd have just hired a pro mercernery from A Shop For Killers to deal with it. I'm sure Mr. annoying Seong Joo would be sufficient. A silent bullet through the sniper would have done the job. Clean and no witness! Of courseeeee... then we won't have the dramatic effect everyone loves. Haha.

 

And yeah, Na In Woo is a lot more handsome and charming in this episode. I think he has a trim, the hairstyle always make a difference. 

 

Agree with the scene at the lift. I actually thought of you, @Chocolate. I thought, "This is the type of scene she will feel excited about!" I think playing villain is definitely more interesting than the protagonist. It's the typical Disney classic's Snow White vs Maleficient kind of contrast. There was another thing I notice as well is, how purposely the scene was shot. They made sure Ji Won is taller than Su Min and at one point even tower over her to give off the required 氣勢 (how do you describe this in English?).

 

I haven't seen E16, but I'm guessing Su Min's revenge will be pretty lacklustre and quick to solve since Ji Hyuk and Ji Won fully expected her attacks.
