OK, Houston, we have a problem.

Perfect Marriage Revenge is the precise type of drama that I–and apparently many other Beanies–need right now. Needed so very, VERY, badly.

There are so many clips of episode 4 that I want to make, that it would be ridiculous. Like 20. So, here’s my plan for today’s PMR Fan Wall Challenge–I’ll make a few, and then as the rest of the watching community reminds me of the awesomeness that is every scene of this drama, I’ll surely know which additional gifs will bring the most joy.

So, to begin…a cheat. I really should have made the above gif for episode 3. Just what? Whut? Is that a handshake? Is that supposed to look like in a webtoon when they’re about to shake hands but because it’s a WEBTOON, you’re invited to imagine that in one moment they’ll actually BE shaking hands…onl…this…is…not…a…webtoon, and so they are just standing THERE??? How do you get out of that situation? Are they just going to turn around and say, “Nice (almost) touching you??” GAH. This show is perfect.

    WHAT DID SHE JUST DO TO MY MAN???

    And look at that simpering so-and-so, just lurking. booooo


    Luckily for me and my f’ing blood pressure, he did this amazing smirk just a few scenes prior when Cinderella snapped BACK at her evil stepmom.

    NO WORDS. Just guffaws. I have to keep my laugh IN at home here because it comes out like a witch’s cackle everytime I watch this and folks are getting worried.

    I mean, I’ve never felt like I understood how Wicked Stepsister felt MORE than right here. 😂

      It would have been good enough if he had just hit his head, but that satisfying, chunky “clang” sound, and that he hit it so hard it turned off just put it over the top 👏👏👏 I laughed out loud!!!

        Tears are coming out of my eyes thinking about that “clang” sound. BOH!? **jump** **clank** **fizzle** Lady (and all of us): 🙄

      The ex-fiance is so pathetic! I love how the show expresses it 😄

        He makes Sung Hoon look like a superior actor, hence I love this casting.
        Their face off was so cringe hilarious.. the dialogues and their expressions.. so extra!!

      @HopefulRomantic I don’t know if this show is a genious or it is my wistful thinking, but look at the color change (Green/Blue/Red/Violet) in this scene when Yoo Ra said “I’m going to take matters into my hand”, as if she if turning more vicious.

      Also the background score is too good.

        I really liked the neon lighting in that scene! This drama is doing a lot with what it has for scenes and settings. I really like the background score, too!! It’s the perfect amount of dramatic.

          The production quality is way higher than I expected it to be–some of the obvious hattips to webtoons are really nice (like when Yi-joo’s friend called her on the phone and they split the screen with a shimmering, diagonal line).

    CASH SLAP!!!! Not kelp, Cold Hard CASH. This grandma is the best grandma. The best grandma!! Her ear cuff! Her glasses!! Her accent! Her deep understanding of the human condition! Eventually, in this scene, her undies!! I can’t WAIT until Yi-joo charms her proverbial pants off instead of, as here, her actual ones!!

    Last gif for this first round.

    Oh so good. This scene reminded me of when I was teaching public speaking, I would do mini-lectures on nonverbal communication, and one of them was on gestures including awkward handshakes between world leaders and some instructions on “how not to shake hands” (*they’re demonstrating the “wooden plank” handshake*) Lololololol 😂😂😂

      I didn’t realize how badly I wanted to see the next two seconds of that “hand shake presentation” until they smoothly avoided the situation at the beginning of episode 4. That’s my first critique–how did it end, show? HOW DID THAT POSE CONCLUDE?? 😂

        Lol I WAS WAITING FOR THAT MOMENT too!!! Why leave us hanging, show??? 😂

        I love that his family recognizes that she’s like Cinderella’s evil stepmother – they’re smart ladies!! I want to see more about his cool sister.

          All three are great. Just how come they don’t see through the manipulative Oppa?

    No no, that was POWER PLAY! At least that’s how I understood it.

          OMG HANDSHAKE CHICKEN. But if that’s the case, why didn’t the show show us who won?

            To keep the tension? 🤷‍♀️
            I think none of them would give up anyway…

            Right so they just STOOD THERE FOREVER!!!! The remainder of this whole drama will now be taking place in the dreams of these two women as they stand, transfixed, staring into one another’s eyes…just…waiting…for…the…other…to…touuccch… 🫣🤣🥲😚😝

    Btw, I think to do the show justice, you would have to gif nearly EVERYTHING! 😄

      Yes, and I also limited myself to these few for now so that after dinner I will have the leisure time to watch my (oh, ok, 우리) Ha Joon.

    Though honestly, I was more thinking about what type of vegetable @elinor will come up for THIS dress. 😁

    You should send it for DB caption challenge.

    This is the final straw, I need to board this train, asap. (Also I’m in a funny mood and couldn’t even continue with Castaway Diva… What is WRONG with meeeee?! 😖)

    Thanks for the convincing GIFs!!!!

      Castaway Diva is proving just too much for me as well. I’m happy to see that others are really taking to it though! I want silly makjang and silly Rowoon (and I’m really suspicious of the latter staying silly…)

        Oh agreed, I can definitely manage sashaying Rowoon in hanboks better at the moment, lol! Cannot handle anything heavy right now, is the problem. So makyang & silly swoon it is! And no, this won’t be jinxed. The Matchmakers ought to stay awesome. (There isn’t a past lives plot, right? We should be relatively … safe?!)

        Ps: what does she hide in her chignon?

          The mom’s hair, ya mean? She hides her enormous smarts.

            Touché! 😂

            (Why did I have my chignon checked by an airport security guard once? No one knows.)
