「結婚してくださいJAPAN」第5話、第6話、第7話、第8話のあらすじとレビュー

Hello people of the internet. It’s Samantha. And if you’re new here on my channel, I usually talk about Japanese movies, dramas, entertainment. Sometimes I tap into other Asian pop culture topics as well. And as you’ve seen from the title of the video below, today we’re going to be talking about Marry My Husband Japan’s episodes 5 to 8. Now, I’ve talked about episodes 1 to 4 in a previous video. Shared kind of like my first impression review of the series. So far, I’ve seen the Kdrama version. I haven’t read the um web tune that it was based off of. So, this is mostly going to be partially, you know, comparative in terms of the Kdrama and the J drama. I know that it’s been mentioned over and over that they aren’t meant to be like adaptations of each other, but considering that they share the same source material, um I think it’s just fair to kind of like talk through um some thoughts about, you know, these two versions, but at the same time putting more focus on my thoughts as to how the episodes are so far in terms of plot, everything, etc. So, with that said, let’s just get to it. initially wanted to make a video for episodes five and six, especially considering how brilliant the elements are for those two episodes. Um, the way that everything was kind of like weaved together, the way that it ended on episode 6 and that kind of like high that those two episodes delivered. But I figured I wanted to kind of like divide this in a way that I’m talking about like the first four episodes and then the next four episodes after that and then we move on to the finale. So, and I wanted to get like a bigger picture as to how the story would progress based off of what happened in those two episodes um and where that would leave us in terms of building up the conclusion for the series. Now that said, a lot of pivotal happened, a lot of pivotal pivotal things happened um in episodes five and six. First one is that Misa learns of her connection with Watu from when they were students. We also find out that you know Watu has met Misa’s father prior to that and he kind of like earned his approval even before you know like all these other things. And that’s probably part of the reason why when Misa’s angel father, you know, came to her in her previous life, she redirected her to Watu. Not necessarily for romantic reasons, but mostly due to just a general connection of it all. And and you know like obviously it’s always been implied that Watu was in love with Misa but I think through in in in in this story it wasn’t more so that he was purely pursuing her for romantic reasons. He just genuinely wanted her to live a really good life. And I think that’s that’s also weaved in the way that they’re kind of like portraying the story is they kind of like developed a friendship earlier on and they also kind of like resonated off of each other not just as romantic prospects but just generally as people. Um, and the way that, you know, even in the in in his initial life, Watu didn’t really like pursue her in a sense or there wasn’t really kind of like a romantic connection in their prior life that would kind of like um I think the important thing was like they’ve built a connection in their second life that gives it enough merit for it to actually be love as compared like the first one where it’s kind of like more of a distant crush um from Watisen and someone that he probably found really interesting and fascinating and just you know and just really kind and all that. So yeah, it really kind of like solidifies or fortifies their relationship a little bit better in their second life the way that it’s it’s kind of like laid out there. Um, and I think the only reason why he ended up kind of like pursuing her further is like he genuinely properly fell in love with her the second time around and that, you know, if she chooses not to be with him, um, then he seems pretty fine with it. He seems very hesitant about, you know, actively pursuing her in a sense as well. Um, it was really like the way that they played it out is it’s still ultimately her choice. Um, and all he wanted to do was to make sure that she kind of like lived her life the second time around. Um so there another thing is that um in terms of I think they handled the event um the the food um showcase event a lot more tastefully cuz in the Korean version obviously like the the two characters best friend and the husband or the future husband was already having an affair at the time and it was because they were like you know messing around and That’s a reason why there was this entire mess in the first place. But for this one, I think they handled it in a sense that was more kind of like how it goes. It really was consistent in terms of Raina’s personality to just be kind of like um reckless about the entire thing considering how we see her since the beginning and how she treats her job and how she kind of like slides off of things. um because she knows how to kind of like work her way around, you know, their their manager and just everything about it. Basically, generally, it was handled in a sense that was a lot more I mean, the Korean version was definitely a lot more satisfying in terms of like people getting what they deserve, but for this one again, it plays into kind of like the realistic undertone of, you know, how things like this would usually be handled. Obviously, there are still like the theatrics of it of Misa kind of like playing it off and calling out Amoya in front of the office so that everybody knows and all that. Um, but again, it was handled a little bit more tastefully in a sense. It’s not as thrilling and as satisfying as the Korean version, but that one is just way too unprofessional to happen in the workplace. Um, and I know like we’re watching these things not because of the realism, but because of, you know, the fun it provides, but there’s just something about, you know, workplace stuff that you can only just go so far in terms of portraying what you can and can’t do. Um, and I think the Japanese version definitely handled it a lot more um, with care, I guess. Um, and I think the ending of episode 6 was really nicely done. I I’ve always loved how this drama knows how to circle back into its own moments. So, I’ve talked about it in my previous video with the umbrella, with the orange, with the turtle, and now with the stage. So Misa once talked about, you know, wanting to join the drama club, but because of Raina’s um intervention, like she wasn’t able to do so. But here, even if it’s just metaphoric, she was able to set the stage and kind of like act out this role of being devastated while knowing for a fact that her wanted outcome was already happening when it comes to Tommoya and Rea. Um, and I really, really love that. Now in terms of um episodes seven and eight, so the kind of like the the result of all those other things have already happened. So Tomoya and Raina finally get married. Rea um pretended to be pregnant so that she can and like steal Tomoya away from Misa um and she was um laid off of her job. She but in she was still kind of like playing it off in a sense that you know she was still she was still thinking that Misa me she still has Misa um at the palm of her hands. I think the most interesting thing about this version at least two things for me um that is outside of you know Misa two things Raina Raina’s backstory I like that they didn’t play it off as they have this kind of like even when they were young she has this like vengeful agenda um as compared to like the Korean version. I like that Raina has her own kind of like story and that isn’t to say that everyone who has a similar background ends up like her, but it was the way that she cope with these things and how things have ended. And I don’t they didn’t really kind of like dig deep into when she kind of like started to resent Misa in a sense or when she started off like doing what she did to Misa. But it was pretty clear, at least for me, the way that they portrayed the story, that Raina was quite miserable given everything that has happened to her and her family. And she finds someone else that was kind of like also going through the same thing just on a different level. and the fact that she was able to be there for that particular person, it has twisted her in a sense that initially it seems to me like they started off as a genuine friendship. Um, but as it went on, it became very kind of like codependent, hyperdependent. um in a sense that she was clinging on to Misa and doing everything in her power to not to ensure that like she wouldn’t get abandoned. Um and I think I like that in a sense that it didn’t antagonize her as a kid. Um, and I like that their friendship was kind of like based off of circumstance rather than her plotting everything since she was young. I think it also adds more depth to just a relationship in general because it kind of like shows that um again it hits a lot harder because it started off as like these two kids sharing the same thing. Um and then it ended up being, you know, how it is when when you kind of like um cling on to something that is and again there’s just there’s just a lot more kind of like there’s just a lot more depth in the way that Misa or Raina kind of like spirals all throughout the story is because I don’t know like I think in the Korean version because she has reason to kind of like resent Misa. Um, it’s kind of like two two people adapting to a very similar situation in in two different ways really positioning Misa in this kind of like really kind um understanding position. Whereas for the Japanese version, it kind of like just leaves these two people who found each other, but unfortunately because of like certain factors, certain things, it ended up the way that it did. Um it it kind of shows more about Raina’s character as well. Um and I like that. I I believe that here in the Japanese version, considering the limited number of episodes, they wouldn’t go into kind of like a convoluted um way of Raina kind of like paying off Misa’s mother. I don’t know, maybe they would still go that route, but it kind of like doesn’t make sense for the plot to go into that too late into the story. Um, but yeah, I think like Raina’s backstory for this particular version definitely gives a different tone to their relationship and how things turned out the way that they did. Um, and I really really like that. And then the other thing that I want to talk about would be Tomoya. I’ve tweeted about this. What’s interesting about this version as compared to the Korean version when it comes to the boyfriend and eventually husband role is um Tommoya isn’t exactly evil. I would say like in the Korean version, I feel like again they really played it off with the extremes, you know. Yes. And he was kind of like he also was still very much interested in his other like in in in the Misa character, the female lead character, but you know, he was really enjoying that affair a lot and all these things. But then for this one like Yes. Um, Tommoya kind of like had didn’t just do it with Raina um once. Um, but I think I’m not sure if it’s just the portrayal of Yokoyama or just the writing in general of the character. Um, but it feels like he it feels a lot more I don’t know kind of like genuine in a sense that when he said he actually did love Misa or still loves Misa and I know that you don’t you know like you don’t excuse some loving someone and then cheating on them. But there are some people in real life who do believe that that they love this person but they cheated because of blah blah blah reasons. whatever. I mean, I feel like that’s the the thing with this Tommoya is that he’s not exactly an evil person. He’s just very man. Like, he’s such a bare minimum baddie. Um, and he has, you know, he’s just level he has this level of narcissism in him and he also kind of like like he has his moments, but at the same time, again, it’s mostly like he’s thinking that he’s good enough because he’s doing the bare minimum. And I think the reason why this is so vile is because he’s definitely so real for that. Um, in the Korean version, I think it’s easy to kind of like say that the guy was just downright douche, something like that. But in the Japanese version, I think this this kind of like pricks a little bit more because again, he the way that they shaped his character and the way Yoko Yokoyama, you portray the character as well, it’s just way too realistic in a sense. like he’s not evil evil, but it’s just like it’s something that you encounter every single day. And probably like a lot of women watching this series or just in real life have been with a person like this or have know someone who’s exactly like the Tomoya in the series. And what I mean by that is I think the distinction for this drama is that scene where Misa was talking to Watu about why she felt secure with Tommoya. And this was one instance where Raina, they were just starting out um dating and Raina was kind of like um making a move on Tommoya asking for his number and even when Misa was away, you know, Tommo Misa heard Tommoya say that he didn’t want Misa to misunderstand so he wouldn’t give his number to Raina. And that like that made Nisa feel that she could trust him. And in that particular moment, it really made me think that the reason why Tommoya is vile as it is is because women experience this so realistically that at the slightest like sometimes at the slightest kindness because of how low the bar is because of like those little moments. It’s so easy to fall and settle into the bare minimum and only realize later on just how much you’re settling for and how much you’re kind of like lowering or or kind of like basing off of your standard for something that someone should do at the barest minimum. And that wasn’t even that special. I mean he he he was the one who initially liked her and therefore it is his responsibility to commit to her the way that he did. But to me sad that felt very special. Um, and it’s something that is so real and grounded. And that’s a reason why Tommoya the way that he is is just so realistically annoying. And even the way that and I think the way that they portrayed it as well, you know, in the Korean version when like yes, the guy was nervous around being around Nissa and uh the female lead and the best friend um when the affair initially started, but he was getting bolder and bolder. But for this one, it they kind of like played it in a sense that Tommoya really wanted to make it work. And whenever because of his apprehensions, like that’s when he’s he he kind of like goes to Raina, but at the end of the day, like he’s he would still choose Misa over her over Raina. And that doesn’t make him better than the Korean version obviously, but it kind of like changes the dynamic in terms of those two characters were portrayed or shaped. And again, it’s so easy to not like the Korean version because it’s such an exaggerated kind of extreme pull of a character. They he was literally written so that you hate him. Whereas Tommoya I feel like was written just how things are and that’s the reason why you hate him. You know, there’s kind of like this one is deliberately written for you to hate them and this one is just written so realistically that it’s like like you get it. You get Nisa’s point of view, but you also know enough to hate the character. So, yeah. I’m not sure if that entire like that entire thing made sense, but yeah. But then again, okay, so moving on to from that, just some more final thoughts about, you know, these past episodes. Um, I really like that Misa was the one kind of like initiating. Um, like when she asked, you know, to finally kiss her, she was the one who kind of like holds out her hand. and um when they were spending like their first new year together. I really like that in a sense that it it shows her newfound agency when it comes to seeking for happiness in her life. You know, she was already kind of like um doubting whether or not she was on the same page with Watu in terms of, you know, time traveling, if we can even call it that. But yeah um but in a sense just overall when it comes to their relationship it obviously Watu while he is forward in terms of wanting to make Nisa happy and what he um is in his intentions are in terms of wanting her happiness. He was he’s not as forward with her romantically and with Misa kind of like taking charge. It’s it’s just nice to see in a sense not because of kind of like you know feminism 2025 or anything like that but it shows a lot in terms of what this entire story was just trying to show. um that while Watu was given a second chance at life, he was still very much hesitant to kind of grasp on things, he was very being very careful, still being very careful about his choices because he’s doing it for someone else. Versus with Misa, she’s doing these things mostly for herself. And that’s a good thing because now in this life, she’s choosing her happiness. And I really kind of like like that dynamic in terms of these two characters because I hope to see Watu grasping for his own happiness later on into the story so that they can finally meet in the middle. Because again, if he just actively pushes for Misa’s happiness but not his own, then I do think that it would again genuinely affect how they approach this new life together. Um, and I feel like that’s something that given the parallels that are being drawn throughout the story of one person’s POV versus another, you know, them being in two sides of of those pages. I think it just makes sense that Watu also has his own kind of like arc of grasping, you know, happiness for himself, which is can be related to Misa. But with Mi, you know, like now Misa is taking charge of her own happiness and kind of like pursuing it. And I want that for Watu as well, so that they’re on the same page. And it’s not just kind of like a protector figure that Watu is playing, but an equal player in both of their lives. Um, and with that said, the ending of episode 8. So, Visa finally confesses that this was her second chance at life. something happened blah blah blah. She was probably hoping that with all the clues that she’s put together that Watu was the same. But and the brilliant brilliance of that scene is you can actually see in Watu’s face when he makes the choice because Misa like her fate was going not just for not just Raina but for um for Suzum Miaan. I’m so bad with names. um but with Suzia and she’s become a beloved friend and like her illness and also like the thing with her husband that ends up being you know that fate and Misa didn’t want that for someone that she cared about and so she was saying that she would just choose to end it herself so that no one would suffer through that similar fate and then um Suzuki Wataru what is up with me kind of like switching being so messy with names right now. But with Watu, you can see the way that it clicks with him that he has to shift things around. And that was the choice. It was obvious that he he didn’t mean it. I think that was very clear in terms of the story. It wasn’t that he was breaking up with her because he finds her ridiculous. And the way that they portray that even without saying anything, the way that Pakadoo portrayed that even without saying anything kind of like shows or helps the audience read between the lines that it wasn’t something that he intended to do. Um, but it was obvious that he was doing it so that Misa’s fate would probably change. And again, this is what I’m saying is I hope that Watu also gets his own arc of, you know, kind of like choosing his happiness and trying to navigate this with Misa rather than navigating it for her. Um, and the way that, you know, she he goes to um he goes to UT to talk to him, I think it was mostly to entrust caring for Misa, not necessarily in a romantic sense, but kind of like watching after her as well while he goes. I’m not sure what his thing is going to be um because he was seen at the airport at the end of episode 8. But I’m just pretty curious. Like I hope that the next episode would explore him not being that protector figure, but rather kind of like meeting Misa in the same page, finally admitting that he also was given a second chance at life and all these things, and they kind of like navigated through together. I hope that they really weave that into the plot. I think that they will given how they’ve written these two characters so far. Um, with Misa, I think it’ll be a very trying episode 9 for her of, you know, thinking about in exchange for her happiness. This is what’s happening to people around her and that she’s also lost someone who she end up falling in love with. all these other stuff cuz she wasn’t meant to like be with someone other than Tomoya in her former in her former life. Yes. So all these other like complicated issues, stuff like that. Um but so far again I really really like it. I I kind of like feel like they should have ended episode 8 in a higher note though because episode 6 was brilliant the way that they wrapped that up and so far the way that they’ve been doing like the two episode cut offs with the cliffhanger so far. I feel like episode 8’s cliffhanger was delivered the weakest and that isn’t to say that it’s bad. Um, it’s just more so like going by the trends of episodes two and episodes four and episode six. Um, yeah, it just felt like there was kind of like a weak moment there for how they cut off this particular like cliffhanger. But yeah, I mean overall I’m super excited as to how they’re going to wrap this up. Again, I’ve mentioned all of my hopes for the last two episodes. Um, but so far so good. Um, shout out to really loving how they’re not too how they’re not making Koshiba Fuka’s outfit as outfits as Misa even for kind of like the other parts too out of character except for the Gatu one because obviously like that was intentional. Um, and side note, I also recreated that look. It was so fun. But again, and with their show on point in terms of how they’re styling Takosato asu as well. Just some other unrelated notes there. But yeah, so tell me down in the comments below what are your thoughts of these um episodes. If you like my video, then please give this a thumbs up. If you’re new to my channel and you would want to hear more from me, please subscribe. Thank you so much for watching and I hope to see you again soon in a new one. Bye.

#MarryMyHusband #MarryMyHusbandJapan #私の夫と結婚して

Based from a Korean webtoon of the same name, ‘Marry My Husband’ starring Koshiba Fuka, Satoh Takeru, Shiraishi Sei, and Yokoyama Yu follows the story of a woman getting a do-over following her death caused by her bestfriend and husband’s betrayal. The story was previously adapted as a K-drama in 2023 starring Park Min-Young.

Stripping away the glamour and crispness K-dramas typically have, this Japanese version gives its own touch to a revenge story by injecting a different sense of warmth into the narrative. Impeccable performances paired with smart recurring elements (see: orange, turtles, umbrellas) that play into the concept of ‘fate’, ‘Marry My Husband JAPAN’ is a refreshing take on an already told story, making it worth seeing whether or not your a fan of its preceding versions.

Watch ‘Marry My Husband JAPAN’ on Prime Video:
