SUMMARY: A woman moves from the city to a rural town on a whim and realizes that living her best life means living it on her own terms.
THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Adorably friendly dogs, plastic bags of money, drunken face-planting, tight budgets, hard candies, misguidedly-violent neighbors, shoe shopping, jealous coworkers, halmeoni-made kimchi, earnest smiles, family trauma, scientific equations, unlikely friendships, and hundreds of library books.
HOT TAKE: I’ll freely admit that I got instantly lost in this earnest, breezy drama. My only complaint is that they tried to incorporate a totally unnecessary mystery/thriller subplot—and this is coming from someone LOVES mystery/thriller subplots.

Marry My Husband is so good so far, everyone needs to watch!
All of the falling was cute and actually made sense lol. The story, yes, is similar to PMR, but also different enough that it’s interesting. There are also some higher stakes here.
I was hooked from episode one, but not just for the romance, which is usually why I watch anything, but I’m actually interested in the revenge too!
I find it so funny when people complain about Lee Jun Ho being "too perfect" or unrealistic because it's like???? Are we watching the same show???? Yes, he's amazing and I love him to bits, but he has some very real flaws like everyone else.
I'd argue that he cares too much about people, and as a result, he resists the urge to communicate his needs or express his feelings for their sake. This comes from a place of kindness and sensitivity, but it can be harmful. He was so scared of being irresponsible with Young Woo that he refused to tell her how he felt and she thought he didn't like her back.
But the reason he's so great is that he is reflective and works on these flaws instead of letting them ruin his life or hurt the people he cares about. Case in point: he overcomes his concerns and confesses to Young Woo (and now they're dating!)
And to me, that's extremely real because a lot of flaws can come from overcompensation, even if it's unintentional, and it's something that's rarely depicted- and even more rarely depicted well.
The show never spoon feeds the viewer and there are a lot of nuances to consider with each character and theme that it explores, and Jun Ho is no different.
So to conclude: Jun Ho best boy. But he also flawed and real boy.
ah Yeo-jeong ! what a mystery you still are! starting off at the hospital, which still hasn't been fully explained. golden retriever energy and yet not really.
