“Marry My Husband” is currently the hottest blockbuster on the Korean small screen in early 2024. After 4 weeks of air, the series has achieved truly remarkable accomplishments.
In terms of ratings, “Marry My Husband” has peaked at an impressive 9.4%, a success that few expected. This is noteworthy because “Marry My Husband” not only airs on a paid channel but also at the beginning of the week, a time slot known to be challenging for K-drama. This indicates that the domestic audience highly anticipates the series, even though earlier predictions doubted its potential success.
The enthusiasm of the domestic audience is further proven by “Marry My Husband” topping the charts on the Korean online streaming platform TVING. Additionally, it holds the first position in the overall list of K-dramas on all Korean OTT platforms as of January 25th.
On the global streaming platform Amazon Prime, “Marry My Husband” continues to demonstrate strong appeal by staying within the top 5 in the “Top TV Shows” chart for the past two weeks. The series currently holds the second position globally on this platform and is the number one show in 20 countries, including Chile, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Myanmar, Bolivia, etc.
On movie review websites, “Marry My Husband” also receives high ratings. On IMDb, the series has a score of 8.1/10, and on Mydramalist, it boasts an impressive 8.7/10 with 5,000 international audience reviews.
Before its premiere, “Marry My Husband” did not have overly high expectations from the audience. Apart from the cast not matching the visuals of the original webtoon, the work stirred controversy due to issues surrounding leading actress Park Min-young. Additionally, when the series aired, controversy erupted once again with accusations that Park Min-young received financial support from her scammer ex-boyfriend.
Despite facing numerous obstacles, however, “Marry My Husband” successfully aired and achieved significant accomplishments. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that “Marry My Husband” has “revived” Park Min-young’s career, which was on a downward trajectory due to controversies with her ex-lover and unimpressive ratings for her works.
With this project, from acting to appearance, Park Min-young’s commitment to her role has been highly praised by the audience.
