My Dangerous Wife (2020)

Not a gem but A VERY GOOD WATCH.

The year 2020 has been full of surprises for the kdrama watchers. My dangerous wife will be one of those underrated dramas that many people won't watch because they are not that familiar with the cast.I would not actually recommend many people to watch them.. Only the matured ones and who love a journey with ups and downs and many twists.

I absolutely loved the cast..their acting was top notch.The story was too good but somehow it feels quite repeatitive after a few episodes..But I love the fact that it's not really predictable.I mean "expect the unexpected" then you may find it predictable..so many twists and turns.The thing that upsets me that I could not actually see the reasons behind their actions until 12episodes maybe.The osts were pretty good.I won't rewatch it because I already know the twists..lol.

If you are thinking whether you should watch it or not..I think you should give it a try.
(It's my first review and English is not my first language so I hope you will pardon me for my mistakes)

Wonderfully Crafted Drama Thriller

This drama reminded me of an old Alfred Hitchcock film, "Rebecca", a romantic psychological thriller. The female protagonists of Rebecca and My Dangerous Wife were seemingly naive, quietly reserve, devoted wives who turned out to be women with spines of steel, willing to go to great lengths to fight for their men, their marriage and their rightful place as the queen of their home. They did not let anyone or anything to stand on their way to achieving their goal. They did not allow themselves to be the victim of what would have turned out as an unfortunate, sad fate had they not done anything about it.

Yoon Chul and Jae Kyung's marriage appeared to be a loving relationship that's the envy of their neighbour and their staff. Beneath the surface, their marriage was toxic. YC could not stand his wife and is allergic to her touch. JK was the typical Stefford wife who dutifully laid out his clothes in the morning and prepared porridge for breakfast, blissfully unaware that her husband hated porridge and was barely tolerating her. He married for her money and cheated on her with his restaurant manager.

The surprise of this drama was how JK turned the tide against her husband when she staged her own kidnapping followed by a series of well planned events that she orchestrated herself. Behind her submissive facade was a wily, devious mind who brilliantly executed her plan into action. JK, in the earlier episodes impressed me as someone who loved and was emotionally dependent on her husband, willing to fight to gain back his love for her. To my surprise, JK had her own selfish agenda. She actually married him because she needed a husband to get her insurance money worth millions of pounds. I will not go into the details but suffice it to say, this was delicious revenge drama of a wife scorned who found a way to get her pound of flesh.
