I caught up with the premiere and it was a quite chore to get through the episode because it was your usual makjang set up, but the ending dessert tasted delicious and I am in.

Do you guys want to jump on this or wait out for something else while we make up the rules and stuff?

Surprised by how fun the first two episodes were after we finished establishing how miserable the FL’s life was. I liked the allusions to its own genre — “Do you think you’re in a soap opera?” Her family is awful, but his is less so (other than mom, of course). ML is surprisingly considerate and seems smitten (wonder when we’ll learn about their past connection). I wonder what the date on her wrist means … is there a time limit for this second chance?

I had fun watching the first two episodes, I'm glad I waited till they were both out to watch. I like that the show didn't spend too long on her misery, I expected the pacing to be slower and was pleasantly surprised.

This drama is absolutely ridiculous. The writing is wonky, the acting is weak. And yet I gobbled up the first two episodes, and can't wait for the next one 😄

I haven't seen the second episode yet, but that white truck scene was a classic. Two for one! I also liked the evil adoptive Mom unplugging all the medical support equipment, and then having her assistant plug it back in. Good planning! Plus, there was the conclusion of episode one, the FL ripping her prospective wedding dress up to the upper thigh, to show it was "no more Ms. Nice Girl" anymore!

Those scenes AND a discussion of photorealism in art?!! This is shaping up to be something special. Can it keep the momentum of the first episode? Maybe in her reincarnation she can start working in a bold "action painting" style , to complement her new vengeful persona?

During the first episode, especially during the gallery scenes, I kept thinking maybe I just shouldn't watch adaptations. Maybe the original webtoon is too ingrained in my mind that I can't see this for its own merits.

But I still continued on to episode 2 and I was left thinking about just how much of the webtoon is gonna be covered if we're already at this point. I mean I get it; it's a relatively short drama and the whole point is these characters get married but still, it was like breakneck speed haha.

I wondered if it was shot weird. Something about the pacing or editing seemed weird to me.

I love me some strong female characters so I'm already liking his mother and grandmother.

Great start. FL is endearing, I always liked Sung Hoon, will be interesting to see the revenge part.

Btw, when time rewinds, it isn’t several years in the past, it is exactly one year in the past.

Whatever the story, we can always count on Sung Hoon to serve us a great kissing scene :p

For the rest, I'm kinda surprised to see so many famous actors in Kdrama world. But in the same time, makjangs are doing pretty well in Korea. It's funny to see Jin Ji-Hee in this kind of role after seeing her a child actress. But after Penthouse, I guess she decided to go full makjang.

Ooh, I wasn’t sure for most of the first episode, but episode two was solid over-the-top fun. I love that the drama ended the FL’s sad-sack candy phase so quickly (LYOL writers, are you listening?) and gave her a 180 change waking into juicy vengeful mode. Character-schmaracter. This is makjang! I don't even need to fast-forward (tho ofc I did), the whole plot is on breakneck speed. I’m keeping my fingers crossed I last longer than I did with Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce).

All right, I should know better than to ask logical questions, but can anyone tell me why did the mother even adopt her?

An aside, I love that GRANNY was the CARPENTER who built up the construction conglomerate!

Ep 2 romance scenes gave me My Sweet Romance vibes😍. I was giddy throughout the ML and FL interactions and the ending kiss was perfect....muah😘. I can't help but giggle at the camera focus of Sung Hoon's big hand grabbing the tiny waist of Yoo Min😂😂

The ML's family looks fun because they don't appear that bad. On the other hand, the evil mom and sister are not vile enough. I want them to go rougue so that the FL can trash them because the FL is so cool when she is planning and executing her revenge.

Seeing all the comments I was tempted! First ep was like too much.. way too extra and OTT. A drama I would never watch. But here I am... second episode was good!! The leads have great chemistry! Lot of swoony moments. And also a lot of tender moments between them.
And that kiss!! YES!!

Fast track makjang is definitely fun! Graceful family was a little bit more muted than this and this feels like I am watching a weekender in 10x mode without the side arcs. Not complaining.

Sung Hoon's clothes are hideous but his voice makes up for everything. And FL is gorgeous.

I like the dynamics of the leads in episode 2. It feels like Seo Do Guk knows Yi Joo before they officially met in episode 2. A childhood connection perhaps?
Also that money for breakfast made me laugh. Way to go, Yi Joo! Do Guk seems to be a good guy with an interesting bunch of women related to him. I am looking forward to Yi Joo's interactions with them.
Also that flower ring was very pretty for a placeholder. Much better than what I have seem in other dramas - paper and candy ring. But did they just kiss after she barfed? I can't shake it ofd my head. It was a hot kiss though.
This drama was not in my planned keeper dramas. The second episode peaked my interest enough to add it on my watch list.

Should Perfect Marriage Revenge keep this up it's going to go up in my list of ✅✅✅ dramas.

Thanks to the recaps, I made the wise decision to not watch episode 1. So I dived straight into episode 2 and it was a blast.

One thing that mystefies me about these kind of Yi-joo in this particular setting - this particular niche - is that most times the Yi-joos turn out to have wealthy parents. And from the way they were hampering on her not knowing her biological parents, I can say that my guess is not far from right.

And someone should get Sung Hoon better wardrobe. I hope they don't make him the Lee Da-hee of Perfect Marriage Revenge.

OMO ... is this what they call a sleeper hit ... now I'm scared for next week. 🙀

That ending though !!!!!!!!! This drama was not in my radar AT ALL. I just happened to be bored enough to read ep 1s recap, then I jumped straight to watching ep 2. If they keep this momentum going, I'm going to go crazy waiting each week for new episodes.
The chemistry is top notch, their visuals together are serving. Sunghoon is one of those actors I totally forget about until I watch him in something and I'm like "damn I remember these feelings ". I don't remember where I've watched the FL, but I like her enough, in that she doesn't annoy me, and surprisingly that's a hard criteria sometimes with actresses (for me)

Rewatched Episode 1 and missed a couple things.

Episode 1: Missed that DoGuk called YooRa as YooRa, HungJye and SeHyeok, were pitying YiJoo as she lay in her hospital bed after the car crash. This is just before HungJye goes in to her evil rant as YiJoo lay dying. YooRa goes into elevator, presumably on the phone with DoGuk, but how's she gonna' talk on a cell phone in an elevator?

Also missed Sex-retary Kim calling 'Chairman' (is that halabeoji?) and then placing the phone next to YiJoo's ear just before he replaces plugs to YiJoo's medical equipment.

I think these phone calls will come back in the future of the past in which YiJoo has landed, right? ... if that makes any sense (?).

Episode 2: Missed SeHyeok saying his father had lost all his money in stock market before dying, mother saddled with debt, while begging on his knees to YiJoo; Koreans count in 7's, rather than 5's as we do in the U.S. (wall in YiJoo's bedroom with days counted alone in room);

Episode 3 - We find out in Episode 3 what Chairman / Halabeoji said over the phone via Secretary Kim to YiJoo on her death bed.

But we still haven't found out why DoGuk was calling YooRa while YiJoo lay on her death bed. Also, is Secretary Kim working for the Chairman / halabeoji or Jeong Hye? I cannot figure him out.
