Familiar Wife

My second K-drama with Seong Ju after 'kill me, heal me'. I really thought he was more for comedy, fun, but in this show he shows a deeper performance. This is a more mature romance, with ups and downs and the time travel part. I love the fantasy condiment in k-dramas, so I enjoyed this very much. I enjoyed watching this in 3-4 days, and the last 5 episodes all the afternoon in a free day. All the actors are great and when you finish watching, they became your friends too. You know how they will react, because of the true performances, script and direction. I have a pleasant smile after watching the last episode. I hope you too :) (Check my list 'Favourite Korean Dramas / Comedies')

This drama is simply excellent. I think Familiar Wife hits that sweet spot between fantastical romance and relatable reality. Despite the large role played by elements like 'destiny', Familiar Wife never fails to feel like an everyman's story, one that everyone can see themselves be a part of. This drama had so many applicable life lessons and such larger than life characters, it was a complete joy to watch them. Familiar Wife requires a slightly mature and forgiving audience, because these characters are flawed, not unlike real humans. They make mistakes, learn, and make more mistakes - and that's how life works.

I didn't know what to expect from the title of the show but from the 2nd/3rd it's soooo amazing. I don't think I've ever felt the pain of the characters in a show quite like this before. It's incredibly underrated. And the actors are so good at what they did. The whole concept is so cool. And the soundtrack... oh boy even listening to it now brings tears to my eyes cause it remind me of them and their hurt and their love. MUST WATCH

This KDrama made me happy, laugh, sad, and mostly tears of joy. If you are married with kids the this Kdrama will hit you harder, do yourself a favor and watch it, because you will learn alot how to have a perfect relationship with your partner.

What's that old saying? The grass is greener on the other side? This story about a married couple that has 2 kids and their relationship starts going downhill with the daily doldrums and keeps escalating until the wife can't take it anymore and yells at her husband everyday after work and then one day he can't take it anymore and abandons her. He finds a way to back in tine and start his life over to before he met his wife - a time when he had a crush on someone else. Will he be happy? Was the grass greener on the other side? Does he wish to be back with the wife he abandoned and his 2 kids? Did he make a mistake? How can he correct his mistake? Is it even possible? You will have to watch and see all the ups and downs that happen along the way. I actually liked the sidekick actor Cha Hak-yeon who played Kim Hwan the new recruit in the office. His cute expressions and addition to the team at the office gave the cuteness to the series. I would have liked to see more cuteness from the lead actor - we saw some in the ending episode for example the proposal near the ending of the series was so romantic and cute of him. I wish the write would have shown a little more of that side of him during the series.
