1st anniversary MARRY MY HUSBAND (2024)
i really like how unhinged they made jeong su-min in marry my husband. it goes beyond the classic "villain of the story" role.
it adds a lot of depth to her character, because her motivations are difficult to fathom, and the way she reacts to rejection/failure is fascinating. it's that contradiction between not being able to exist without ji-won (she follows her anywhere, like a shadow), and at the same time, trying to dim her light to extinction (which she ends up doing, when ji-won dies in the original timeline.)
honestly, hard to pull off, but the actress is killing it. she plays it like su-min is clinically unwell. if she could swallow ji-won whole to make sure she'll stay hers/stay with her forever, she 100% would.
I’m sorry her dad left her a man as a little treat? and you expect me to believe this isn’t the best drama that’s gonna come out of 2024? like this is too funny omg 😭
her dad said here is $10 oh and a tall, rich, fine, intelligent, kind, humble, funny, twinkle in his eye when he smiles, cute face, did I mention like 6’5? man for you to just have. Does he serve a purpose? no just a little treat for when you’re done with the revenge
"it's like there's a rope attached to my chest and it keep pulling me towards you"
My friend, who has never read the book and is watching the movie for the first time: oh, originally they said no strings attached, but now he has feelings so it's a rope pulling him towards Henry! It's a parallel!
Me, who has lost count of how many time I've watched the movie but has never once picked that up:... Holy shit
Crying in the club at the way Matthew described Taylor and Nick relationship off screen. I don’t know it’s just as beautiful and deep as the way Casey described Alex and Henry in the book. And I couldn’t thank Matthew enough for giving us a glimpse of the spark that he saw between Nick and Taylor in person, from up close observations and this is what he came up with :
“And I think that in some ways they were holding on to each other for dear life while making this movie. I don’t think that there was a moment in the process where one of them wasn’t a little scared and the other one was a little brave. They just took turns being that person — sometimes daily, sometimes hourly. I got lucky. I got two remarkable young actors who needed each other, and I think that in some weird sort of alchemy, we created the situation by which they actually became Henry and Alex together.”
I think that was so remarkable and poetic the way they bond through this project.
