Marry My Husband: Review Ep 9 - Ep 16 (spoilers under the cut)
Sooo I might have binged the entire half of the series in one night lololol. In my defence, it was sooo good that i absolutely couldn't leave it in between.
After an intense previous eps, eps 9-12 were even more intense. I loved how Su-min began to show her crazy side gradually, and how Ji-won acted like a total queen in the face of that crazy. Also, Ji-won dumping Min-hwan both metaphorically and literally was such a satisfactory moment *chefs kiss*.
But ngl the pregnancy twist by Su-min was genius, and totally worked out in Ji-won's favor. My favourite part was when her ex friends stormed the wedding to take revenge on Ji-won's behalf lmao.
Altho initially I felt that introducing Ji-hyuk's ex-fiancée Oh Yu-ra was a unnecessary move but as the eps progressed, the vision became sooo much clearer. If anything, BoA's character spiced up the show even more.
However I do wish we could've seen more of the potential side couples, the ending made it all worth <3
Over all a 8.5/10 show

For anyone who wants a Cdrama recommendation, I really like the series Minning Town.
This is based on a true story about villagers in Ningxia Province who were fighting poverty and creating a town called Minning in the late 90s - early 2000s. This show has also gained some popularity in Arabic speaking countries. I'd say it's rated PG, because it has no scenes of infidelity, nudity or kissing like typical dramas. The episodes are available for free on YouTube with English and Arabic subtitles.

It's probably a sexist double standard that, while I hate Tae Min dragging Hyo Sim into his mama drama, I'm all for Tae Hui and Hyo Do causing chaos.
I just feel like Tae Hui and Hyo Do will drive Mama Kang batshit in the best way, since Tae Hui has kind of already renounced her, and Hyo Do is going to learn some (seriously needed) life lessons about money soon.

"There was a girl there in her past, a teenager who was willing to do anything to get out of that poor neighborhood and to climb in society, to have money and luxuries, to get them the easy way.
And there was a woman here now, in her present, a completely different woman who recognized her every mistake and was ashamed of the thoughts and desires she once had.
But then again, if she hadn't had them all…
Min Hui could never regret her Han Seo."
Song of the Hopeless Ones, chapter 17.

Alchemy of Souls (Part 1 & 2)
This is definite another favorite of mine; right next to Scarlet Heart Ryeo. Alchemy of Souls & Alchemy of Soul: Light and Shadow tell the story a young group of mage who have to fight against the greed of soul shifters and the sorcerous that conjure the spell. The story has a perfect balance of humor, action, romance, and suspense in a beautifully threaded plot.
The story begins with Naksu, a powerful female assassin, who wants to avenge the murder of her father as she follows her master's orders. And Jang Ok trying to unlock the power within him in his quest to becoming the mage everyone is trying to prevent him to become because of the truth of his birth. These two meet when Jang Ok has left his last master and she has shifted to the body of a blind girl in order to escape death. But she is no longer the powerful mage she had been, now that she is trapped in this body and in order to regain her power, she accepts becoming Jang Ok's master disguised as servant.
These two lives are entwined in a tangle of intrigue, misunderstanding and friendships that are strengthened and forged as Naksu as Mu Deok and Jang Ok walk the challenging terrain to make Jang Ok reach the highest level of a mage.
I fell in love with the characters, their personalities, their struggles and feelings. The end of the first part broke my heart.
The second part starts 3 years after Mu Deok's death and Jang Ok's returning from the afterlife with the ice stone. Jang Ok who is surrounded by shadows, and the pain of losing the love of his life, has become the most powerful mage and carries the responsibility of destroying soul shifters. Meanwhile, the two souls that had co-existed in Mu Deok's body are now enclosed in Naksu's body. But this time, both souls have lost their memories and powers and are imprisoned in the Jinyowon household. It is through Jin Bu Yeon's interaction with Jang Ok and the others that she slowly regains her powers and memories. In this last part, the youth come together to defeat the greed and selfishness of the king, queen, and everyone who sought to gain power through the alchemy of souls and the ice stone.
This series was definitely worth the wait! I recommend it to everyone. I will be thinking about this story for a long time. I know I will be watching this one multiple times.
