Despite its season finale airing on February 20th, the drama continues to captivate international audiences, consistently ranking in the global TOP 10 on Amazon Prime Video for an impressive 18 weeks since its debut on January 1st. It even reached the number 5 spot in the platform’s weekly rankings for both English and non-English content from April 29th to May 5th.

The series begins in 2023 with Kang Ji-won, who is terminally ill with gastric cancer. After discovering her husband, Park Min-hwan, in a compromising situation with her best friend, Jeong Su-min, a fatal scuffle ensues, leading to Ji-won's accidental death at the hands of Min-hwan. Remarkably, Ji-won awakens in the year 2013 due to her late father's spiritual intervention. Armed with the knowledge of her previous life, she aims to rewrite her destiny by manipulating Su-min into marrying Min-hwan, thereby transferring her misfortunes to her former friend in a quest for vengeance.

As the series progresses, Ji-won discovers that her manager, Yoo Ji-hyuk, has also returned from the dead following a car accident. Knowing the truth about Min-hwan and having developed feelings for Ji-won, Ji-hyuk becomes her protector. Despite their efforts, the series weaves a complex web of relationships and betrayals, culminating in a dramatic conclusion where personal redemption and justice are finally served.

The show's engaging plot and deep character arcs have resonated with viewers worldwide, contributing to its sustained popularity. As of May 7th, the drama has been a hit in 46 countries, with particularly strong viewership in 19 countries, including Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines, where it continues to hold a coveted spot in the TOP 3.

A Studio Dragon official praised the series for rewriting K-drama history by maintaining a presence on global streaming charts for over two months after its finale. The show's success is further underscored by its record-setting achievements, becoming the first K-drama to top the global daily TV show rankings on Amazon Prime Video since the platform's global inception in 2016. It also marked the first K-drama to enter the TOP 10 in several key markets in the Americas and Europe, such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, the Netherlands, and Italy.

The enduring popularity of Marry My Husband illustrates the growing global appetite for diverse storytelling and high-quality drama productions, positioning it as a benchmark for future international releases on streaming platforms.
