“Marry My Husband” Webtoon In Talks For Japanese Drama Adaptation

Feb 14, 2024

The popular Korean webtoon “Marry My Husband” is in talks for a Japanese drama adaptation!

On February 14, a source from the production company Studio Dragon stated, “We are currently discussing plans for the Japanese version of ‘Marry My Husband.’”

They added, “It is not a Japanese remake of the currently on-air tvN Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Marry My Husband.’ The original webtoon is popular in Japan as well, so we were discussing the production of a Japanese drama even before the Korean drama started airing.”

Based on the popular web novel of the same name, tvN’s “Marry My Husband” tells the revenge story of the terminally ill Kang Ji Won (Park Min Young), who witnesses her best friend Jung Soo Min (Song Ha Yoon) and her husband Park Min Hwan (Lee Yi Kyung) having an affair—and is then murdered by her husband.

The drama has been steadily increasing viewership ratings since the premiere episode on January 1. After its ratings broke into double digits with episode 10, “Marry My Husband” recorded its highest average nationwide viewership rating of 11.8 percent with episode 11.
