Marry My Husband

The title Marry My Husband sounds like a request that needs quite an explanation.

Here, it belongs to a woman who discovers that the people closest to her have betrayed her—and then gets a chance to change what happens next. The marriage she wants to arrange is part of her revenge.

If you’ve encountered different actors or a comic under that same title, you’re in the right place. The story began as sungsojak’s Korean web novel, became a webtoon adapted by LICO, and also has Korean and Japanese television versions.

I’ll introduce the story and the names here. For help choosing a version and finding the official reading or streaming pages, head to the Marry My Husband starting guide.

Spoiler level: Opening premise only, including the betrayal and return to the past described in the official synopses. No later revenge outcomes or ending details.

Content note: The opening involves cancer, infidelity, domestic violence, and death. Romance is part of the story, but this is a darker starting point than a light workplace comedy.

What is Marry My Husband about?

In the Korean story, Jiwon discovers an affair between her husband and her best friend while she is seriously ill. Her life ends violently, but she wakes up ten years earlier with knowledge of the future she wants to escape.

Her response gives the story its title: she wants the two people who betrayed her to marry each other.

That is the opening situation described by the official English WEBTOON. I’ll leave the consequences for the story itself.

The second-chance setup changes what a romantic premise means here. Jiwon has more than a new relationship to consider: she wants to stop repeating a life shaped by other people’s choices.

So if the title led you to expect a cheerful matchmaking story, keep the revenge premise in mind before starting.

Who created the original story?

The original Korean novel is by sungsojak, credited as 성소작 on Naver. The Naver web-novel page lists the prose work, while the English WEBTOON page separates the creator credit from LICO’s adaptation credit.

That distinction helps when you’re looking for the source material. The novel is prose; the WEBTOON edition is a comic adaptation. A shared title doesn’t make them the same reading format.

What does the Korean title mean?

내 남편과 결혼해줘 closely matches the English Marry My Husband.

내 남편 means “my husband,” while 결혼해줘 asks someone to marry. The person being asked is understood from the situation rather than named in the title.

Once you know the opening betrayal, the request makes more sense. It is directed toward a particular person in Jiwon’s life, rather than offered as a general invitation.

Why are there two different dramas?

The 2024 Korean drama follows Kang Ji-won, played by Park Min-young. The 2025 Japanese version follows Misa, played by Fuka Koshiba. Takeru Satoh is among the Japanese leads.

They are separate productions adapting the property. CJ ENM discusses the Korean and Japanese versions together, and Prime Video maintains distinct pages for the Korean series and Marry My Husband: Japan.

The Japanese version is not Season 2 of the Korean production. A different cast is a useful clue that you’re looking at another adaptation, not a continuation with replacement actors.

For a different kind of workplace romance, Business Proposal vs. Marry My Husband helps you choose between the Korean dramas by mood, premise, and episode count.

For why a return to the past becomes a revenge plan, the second-chance explanation explores the opening’s connection between knowledge, fate, and the life Jiwon wants to change. It includes the early fate setup, without revealing later outcomes.

If you want to begin reading in English, the official WEBTOON is the comic route.
