tvN Monday-Tuesday drama Marry My Husband has been riding the waves of popularity as a must-watch, but recent developments have sparked a debate among its audience. The introduction of BoA as the new antagonist has not continued the streak of acclaim the show had been enjoying.

‘Marry My Husband’ Episode 12 Recap: Tension Rises Between Park Min Young and BoA

As a narrative that delves into a woman’s journey to rewrite her destiny after witnessing her best friend and husband’s affair and subsequently being murdered, the drama had Park Min Young’s much-anticipated return to the screen after a year and two months, alongside the notable villainous performances of Lee Yi Kyung and Song Ha Yoon .

With a promising start at a 5.2% rating, Marry My Husband saw a consistent upward trajectory in viewership, peaking with a momentary rating of 13.4%. The story’s satisfying revenge plot had been well-received until the narrative took a turn with BoA’s character, Oh Yoo Ra, entering the scene as a grandchild of a chaebol chairman. After hearing a jest among elders, Oh Yoo Ra believes herself to be engaged to Yu Ji Hyuk ( Na In Woo ), displaying a disturbing level of entitlement and obsession toward her “fiance.” Her actions have led to divided opinions among viewers, particularly concerning the character’s believability.

With only four episodes left out of a 16-episode series, there’s growing concern that the drama might end on a disappointing note. Despite high anticipation for Oh Yoo Ra’s character, which initially drove the ratings up to 11.8%, a subsequent drop to 10.5% suggests viewers’ discontent. As the series diverges from the original novel’s plot, all eyes are on whether Marry My Husband can steer back to favorable reviews with a satisfying conclusion.
