The series brings together exceptional creative talent from both Japan and Korea. The screenplay is penned by Satomi Ôshima, one of Japan’s most accomplished screenwriters, known for her signature style of delicate psychological portrayal and warm humor. Her impressive portfolio includes the emotional tour de force 1 Litre of Tears (2005) and Sayonara, Maestro! (2024). Recently honored with the Excellence in Screenplay Award at the 48th Japan Academy Prize for 90-sai. Nani ga Mededai (2024). Director Ahn Gil-ho, renowned for his masterful direction of suspense and human dramas, including the international hit series The Glory (2022), brings his expertise in crafting compelling narratives to this cross-cultural production.

Marry My Husband tells the story of Misa, a woman who has always lived her life as a “supporting character” in service of others. When betrayal by her husband and best friend leads to her death, she is mysteriously granted a second chance, traveling back in time by ten years. Determined to rewrite her fate, she sheds her former “nice person” persona to pursue revenge. However, her plans take an unexpected turn when she meets Section Chief Wataru Suzuki, a man absent from her previous life, who begins to change her revenge-focused heart. Through this second chance, Misa discovers what it means to truly become the protagonist of her own story.

Fuka Koshiba leads the cast as Misa Kobe, following her acclaimed performance in NHK’s Berabou (2025). Takeru Satoh, widely known for the Rurouni Kenshin series and First Love (2022), stars as Wataru Suzuki, a composed section chief whose unexpected appearance changes the course of Misa’s second chance at life. Rising star Sei Shiraishi, fresh from her success in Captured Airport (2024), takes on the role of Reina Esaka, Misa’s childhood friend and confidante. SUPER EIGHT member Yû Yokoyama, who has proven his acting prowess in NHK’s Maiagare! (2022-23) and Promise: The Truth After 16 Years (2024), rounds out the main cast as Tomoya Hirano, Misa’s husband whose betrayal sets the story in motion.

“The Korean adaptation of Marry My Husband marked a significant milestone as the most-watched Asian title among non-English content on Prime Video globally last year based on viewing hours within four weeks of release.” said Keisuke Oishi, Country Manager, Prime Video Japan. “We are very excited to see how this story, which has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide, will be further enhanced through the collaboration between talented Korean creators and Japanese cast members. ”

” It was such a fresh experience working with a Korean director and team. The whole vibe on set was completely different from what I’m used to,” said Fuka Koshiba. ” I love how the script combines the best parts of the original story with a Japanese touch. While it’s fundamentally a revenge story, you can really feel Misa’s innate kindness and strength coming through. In playing Misa, who grows stronger as she pursues revenge, I wanted to show someone who Wataru naturally wants to protect and help – a character who struggles with the idea of revenge because she’s actually too kind and straightforward at heart. I tried to create someone the audience would really want to cheer for. I’m putting my all into making this something everyone can enjoy, so I hope you’ll look forward to when it starts streaming!”

“I have long admired Director Ahn Gil-ho’s work, and I’m truly grateful for this opportunity to work together,” said Takeru Satoh. “On set, language differences were rarely a barrier – we found ways to understand each other beyond words, creating a really fulfilling working environment. My character Wataru lives to protect Misa’s life. I focused on staying true to this core essence throughout my performance. The latter half of our story features elements unique to this Japanese version, so I think viewers will be on the edge of their seats – even those familiar with the original. I hope you’ll look forward to watching it when it streams.”

“Having long admired Director Ahn Gil-ho’s work, I’m deeply grateful for this invaluable opportunity to work under his direction, ” said Sei Shiraishi. “While portraying Reina has been challenging, with many emotionally demanding scenes, the role has been incredibly fulfilling and has helped me discover new dimensions of myself as an performer that I never knew existed. I’m very much looking forward to seeing the final product and hearing viewers’ reactions. I sincerely hope this series will find its way into the hearts of many! “

“Playing Tomoya Hirano is unlike any role I’ve taken on before. He’s an incredibly obsessive character who I found challenging to understand at times,” said Yû Yokoyama. “When I told people I’d be playing this role in a series that’s already gained such huge international acclaim, everyone was shocked, saying “You’re playing THAT role?!” But they all expressed how excited they were to see it. Our version has many elements unique to the Japanese adaptation, so I really hope everyone will look forward to watching it when it starts streaming!”
