I wasn’t sure I’d like “She and her Perfect Husband” after the first few episodes, but it keeps getting better and better. Now almost midway through the drama (i think), I’m definitely hanging on every episode. It’s really refreshing and shows a feminist perspective and a FL who deals with the unfair, sexist work environment in her industry, sometimes with a web of lies about her personal life, sometimes by directly confronting some of her coworkers’ sexist statements.
The relationship develops nicely between the leads and the ML is just a great character. He’s not the tsundere chaebol type at ALL, he has some stuff going on that makes him not “husband material” on paper, but they’re great together. One of the things I love about a good Chinese drama is leads who complement and help each other achieve their life goals together. I don’t find her in-laws’ relationships very interesting, but I really enjoy the subplot of her ex and his gf.
I recently finished Healer for the first time (how did I miss this one previously!? Definitely in my top 5 dramas of all time, it’s fantastic) and needed something to get me out of my drama hangover. “She & Her Perfect Husband” and “Love is for Suckers” have been doing the trick.
