Titled Watashi no Otto to Kekkon Shite in Japanese, the drama features Koshiba Fuuka and Sato Takeru in the lead roles. The plot trails Misa, a soft-spoken employee who discovers her husband’s affair with her best friend and faces a fatal end. She then wakes up ten years in the past and begins to change the course of her life while pushing the two betrayers together.
Many are hailing this version as a stronger, more grounded take compared to the original Korean adaptation.
