## Synopsis

Marry My Husband (2024) is a South Korean television drama series created by Shin Yoo-dam for tvN, a single-season limited series of sixteen hour-long episodes. Park Min-young plays Kang Ji-won, a terminally ill cancer patient who is murdered by her husband and best friend after she discovers their affair. She wakes up ten years before the killing with a second chance and a plan for revenge, enlisting Yu Ji-hyuk, a director at the company where she works, to help her dismantle the people who betrayed her. Na In-woo and Lee Yi-kyung round out the central triangle of deceit, while Song Ha-yoon and Lee Gi-kwang add pressure from the surrounding circle of friends and colleagues. Each episode is built around a concrete step in the protagonist's campaign: a sabotaged project, a rigged office rivalry, a carefully staged confrontation inside a family-controlled corporation. The series mixes a chaebol power struggle with a romance that slowly takes shape, and its register blends stinging revenge with wry humor and moments of melancholy. Its gleefully spiteful, hopeful spirit will appeal to viewers of Korean melodrama and time-travel dramas, and fans of The Penthouse and Lucky Lucky Lucky will find familiar resonance in its betrayal-driven plotting and second-chance structure.
