It can be said that this drama has made a good start.
"Please Marry My Husband" is a series based on the comic of the same name, which is a revenge drama. As a drama of this genre, the bloody plot is indispensable, and Korean audiences are simply fond of the bloody plot, and you can refer to the previous "Top Floor" to know their preferences. And this series gathers many popular elements, such as dog blood, revenge, rebirth, etc., with complete elements, and the plot development is also very rapid, which is very intriguing, especially giving people a refreshing feeling.
The heroine, Kang Ji Won, is played by Park Min Young, who is a cancer patient with an extremely tragic fate. Not only was she unable to conceive, but she was often abused by her husband and humiliated by her mother-in-law, and had no status at all. In the first episode, Kang Ji Won's tragic experience was clearly explained. Not only that, but what makes people extremely angry is that when she was sick and hospitalized, in addition to having no one to take care of her, her husband and best friend also took the opportunity to have an improper relationship. After learning of the betrayal of her husband and best friend, Jiang Zhiyuan was very sad, and what made her even more sad was that her husband even bought her life insurance, hoping that she would die as soon as possible so that she could get compensation. The angry Kang Ji Won quarreled with her husband because of this, but was unexpectedly beaten to death by her husband. After being reborn, Kang Ji Won returned to 2013, when she was still healthy and unharmed and did not marry her husband. In order to get revenge on her husband and best friend, she starts her own plan to match them to get married, and the story unfolds.
It can be said that the plot of the show developed very quickly, and it only took two episodes to clearly explain the background, and after being reborn, Kang Ji Won decided to take revenge on her husband and best friend without hesitation. This decisive action has also been supported by the audience, and it also explains that the show's current reputation is quite good, and the ratings of the second episode have improved, which is enough to see how much the audience loves it.
For the success of this TV series, there are many reasons behind it that are worth going deeper. First of all, bloody plots have always been one of the elements that attract audiences, and Korean audiences especially love this kind of plot development because of their ability to make people feel strong emotional resonance. In addition, the themes of revenge and rebirth are also very appealing, as they give people the power to believe that even if they encounter misfortunes, they can counterattack and change their fate. This coincides with the prevalence of the pursuit of justice and the idea of revenge in today's society.
In addition, the success of the show is also inseparable from the fast-paced and compact structure of its plot. In the process of chasing the drama, the audience will not feel bored or tired, because the plot develops quickly and compactly, giving people a pleasant viewing experience. Coupled with the excellent performances of the actors, especially Park Min Young's interpretation of Kang Ji Won's role, the audience was deeply attracted by the characters in the play.
However, we also need to note that this drama is not only a revenge plot adapted from the comics, it also reflects some social issues to a certain extent. The domestic violence, unfair treatment and social indifference to the status of women suffered by Kang Ji-won in the play are all problems in real society. While showing these issues, the play also conveys a power of thinking and reflection, which arouses people's attention and discussion on these issues.
Of course, there are still some criticisms of this show. Some viewers think that there are too many bloody plots in the play, and the plot is too exaggerated and has lost its authenticity. In addition, some people have some doubts about the expression of revenge in the play, thinking that overemphasizing revenge will not solve the problem, but will cause more contradictions and harm.
Behind this question, we had to delve into the social context and audience psychology. First of all, there are many reasons why the audience loves the bloody plot. On the one hand, the strong emotional stimulation brought by the bloody plot can meet the psychological needs of the audience, allowing them to temporarily put aside the trivial matters of reality and immerse themselves in the plot. On the other hand, the bloody plot also reflects the audience's need for emotional resonance, and the audience often finds some of their own shadows from the fate of the characters in the play, so as to establish emotional resonance.
To sum up, "Please Marry My Husband" is not only a fascinating TV series, but also reflects some of the problems that are prevalent in society. The audience's love and discussion of the plot of the play, as well as the existence of critical voices, all show that the play has aroused widespread public attention and reflection. For the expression of the theme of revenge in the play, we need to maintain a rational and objective attitude, and look at and evaluate it reasonably. As viewers, we can think about social issues and advance social progress through discussion and action. As the producer of the TV series, they also need to make appropriate adjustments and reflections on the plot to ensure that the values expressed in the play meet the requirements of the real society.
