Another webtoon adaptation is in the works over at MBN, and the show’s first teaser hints at a melodramatic revenge story. Starring Jung Yoo-min (Celebrity) and Sung Hoon (Woori the Virgin), A Perfect Marriage is about a woman wanting revenge against her family, and in order to do so, she enters a contract marriage.
The teaser gives a brief introduction to its main cast, starting off with Seo Do-gook (Sung Hoon). Staring intently at his leading lady Han Yi-joo (Jung Yoo-min), Do-gook asks if she really does not know or if she is pretending to not know. His description says, “The man helping Han Yi-joo’s revenge.”
The teaser then hints at Yi-joo’s motivation, and we see her husband Oh Se-hyuk played by Oh Seung-yoon (Blind) confess his love to her younger sister Han Yoo-ra, who is played by Ji Jin-hee (Penthouse 3). Yi-joo also gets slapped across the face by her stepmother, and in voiceover, she says, “I’m family, too.”
Next in the lineup is Kang Shin-hyo (Insider) as Seo Do-gook’s jealous half-brother Seo Jeong-wook. He walks out in front of a crowd of protesters while using a cane, and then he sits in his office with a grim expression as he wonders what kind of woman changed Seo Do-gook.
Moving on to the next terrible sibling, the teaser shows Han Yoo-ra (Ji Jin-hee), the younger sister of Yi-joo who looks down her. With a fire in her eyes, she berates someone for not knowing their place.
Last but not least is Yi-joo’s contemptuous stepmother Lee Jeong-hye played by Lee Min-young (The Witch is Alive). Leaning over an unconscious Yi-joo, Jeong-hye whispers in her ear, “Yi-joo, in your next life, don’t live so kindly.” The teaser then shows a brief glimpse of Jeong-hye facing off with Cha Eun-ha played by Lee Mi-sook (Family: The Unbreakable Bond).
Staking everything on the line for revenge, we see Yi-joo rip her wedding dress, and later on, she confronts her stepmother, warning her to stop provoking her. The text on screen says, “To get revenge on my family who threw me away, I chose this man.”
Directed by PD Oh Sang-won (Love ft. Marriage & Divorce III) and written by Im Seo-ra (Feel Good to Die), MBN’s A Perfect Marriage is set to premiere October 28.
