The first stills, unveiling Park Min Young‘s bold visual transformation for the upcoming tvN series Marry My Husband, have wowed the prospective viewers.
Based on the popular web novel of the same name, Marry My Husband revolves around a woman who witnesses her husband and best friend’s affair, gets murdered, and then time-travels back 10 years ago, determined to reshape her miserable fate.
“In the drama, Kang Ji Won, portrayed by Park Min Young, is an ordinary woman dealing with an inept husband, his disrespectful family, and the challenges of her demanding job. Enduring a life where she puts others before herself, Ji Won becomes oblivious to the fact that she’s just a pawn to those who want to take advantage of her kindness. At the end of this dreadful road is the heart-wrenching discovery of her husband, Park Min Hwan (Lee Yi Kyung), having an affair with her best friend, Jung So Min (Song Ha Yoon), and the diagnosis of cancer in her youthful years.
The released photos capture Kang Ji Won in a hospital gown, wearing a cap, with a worn-out expression, vividly showcasing the toll her challenging life has taken on her.
