Meu Marido Oh Jak Doo (2018)

Une surprise inattendue

J'ai commencé ce titre, qui traînait depuis un certain temps dans ma liste de dramas à regarder, parce qu'il allait disparaître du catalogue Netflix, ici en Belgique.

Autant l'avouer tout de suite, je n'étais pas vraiment emballé par les 2-3 premiers épisodes, trouvant la réalisation trop brute et les personnages trop stéréotypés.

Et pourtant, la sauce a fini par prendre et j'ai terminé les 24 épisodes en une petite semaine, même si la série aurait pu tenir en 20, voire 16 épisodes, les derniers étant un peu dilués, avec certains passages passables, n'apportant rien de neuf ni de passionnant à l'histoire.

Qu'est-ce qui a donc fini par me plaire?

Premièrement, l'histoire qui, si elle ne révolutionne pas le genre, s'intéresse au choc entre ruralité et civilisation, avec des situations cocasses, surtout dans la première moitié du drama. Voir le héros principal en "plouc" de la campagne avait un côté rafraîchissant.

En deuxième lieu, les acteurs. Les deux protagonistes principaux sont globalement bien dans leur rôle, distillant une belle alchimie tout au long de la série. J'ai moins apprécié le personnage de Eric Cho, qui en faisait toujours un peu trop et regrette que le personnage de l'amour d'enfance (Jang Eun Joo) ait manqué un peu de relief. Il aurait pu apporter plus à l'intrigue.

Enfin, la bande son est plutôt agréable, avec de belles mélodies qui accompagnent les beaux paysages de la campagne de Jinan.

Au final, une agréable surprise. Pas une série inoubliable mais un excellent moment avec de beaux passages riches en émotions et une belle histoire. A recommander pour ma part !

At first it was good, i was having fun while watching it cause there's so many funny scenes and meaningful situations but then the story or plot just became too dragging. It's like it was force to have 24 episodes. I think if it was 18 episodes only or less, it could have been better. Though i must commend the acting of the female lead she's too good as well as the lead male but it was just too long and it started to bore me. If given a chance to watch it again, i wouldn't. The acting were great but the plot was too boring. Didn't have anything more to.show. I just wished they thought of a great twist or whatever if they want it to.be that long

Healing and a joy to watch

I am in awe. It is is so Meaningful and hard to come by. Precious and Beautifully written in many ways.

The drama started with a lot of fun, and the transition has been wonderful.

I loved when the characters were willing to change their lives for the one they love.
The courage to be different. The change of priorities.
It showed a whole different level of maturity.

I also loved the embracement of simplicity and living in the peaceful mountains. How it pushes the stressful and fake civilization to the side.

And I loved their love; how they were willing to throw everything away for each other.
And I love how her character admits to being weak and grows strong with the right acts.

Jak Doo is so pretty, and nice. And I like Uee best in this work.
The drama is soooo goooood nothing ever felt like a filler. The other characters fill it with delight
The music was so good.
And the accent!

One of the reasons I loved this even more; it is one of those dramas where there is a plot, a good one. Like how the story with the Gayageums integrated so well with what started as a romance.

Its got a interesting plot to begin with pitiable hardworking city girl harassed by her own mother and brother, pit up against a hillbilly villager who is a frog prince so to say. The writer tries very much to convince us on the need for a contract husband for the lady as she suffers from panic attacks (interestingly i read that about 6 out of 10 people in my city are suffering from bouts of panic attacks). How the threat to the her life and the stress from mad rat race of the cities makes the heroine of our drama take a step back and turn back to the simple, honest and tranquil life of a simple mountain /village life is depicted.

Though a bit slow paced the story is relevant in todays time as we can see around us where even within families there is so much insensitivity and lack of love / caring for each other. The need for being ourselves in times when the media tries to make every story into a saleable product while compromising on truth is the message of the drama.

In my view it is a bit slow but all the side characters and their strengths and weaknesses are nicely projected - all in all a good drama with little fluffy romance but mature theme.

Started out good

I don’t know what happened but around episode 17 I was ready to call it quits.

I’m still trying to understand why Mr. Choi and Mr. Hong were turned into villains with no consequences. Their side story was a waste of airtime. If Han Seung Joo was so valuable why didn’t the guy who offered her a position claiming his company needed her do something to keep her?

I also wondered why we were presented with two bratty younger siblings and that selfish mother.

The only side stories I enjoyed were the grandmothers worrying about Jak Doo and then taking in the young kid. The young kid’s Dad turning his son over to the bio dad made absolutely no sense, either.

I also just loved Cho Bong Sik. Thankful for the grandmothers and Bong Sik for providing humor.

The FL started out to be a favorite but by the 14th or 15th episode she started to irritate me. Unfortunately I never warmed up to her again, even after she married Jak Doo.

For me there was too many holes in storylines left unanswered.

I won’t rewatch it even though I loved both Kim Kang Woo’s and Jung Sang Hoon’s performances.
