The story, which originated as a Korean web novel before being adapted into a webtoon and a popular 2024 K-drama, follows the emotional journey of Kanbe Misa. After a painful betrayal by her best friend and husband, Misa dies—only to wake up ten years in the past with a rare second chance to rewrite her fate.

The double-episode finale is set to deliver a powerful and emotional close to Misa’s story.
Marry My Husband: Japan – Betrayal, Redemption, and the Road to the Finale
Marry My Husband: Japan is a powerful reimagining of the acclaimed 2024 South Korean drama, itself based on a hit Naver web novel and webtoon. Co-produced by CJ ENM, Studio Dragon, Shochiku, and Jayuro Pictures, this Japanese adaptation infuses the original revenge drama with a more nuanced emotional palette and a theatrical flair, presenting protagonist Kanbe Misa’s life as a stage play—a storytelling choice that adds poetic depth to her tragic journey.
At the center is Misa, played by Fuka Koshiba, a kind-hearted woman betrayed most cruelly by her husband Hirano Tomoya (Yokoyama Yu) and her best friend Esaka Reina (Shiraishi Sei). Just as Misa is grappling with a cancer diagnosis, she uncovers their affair—and is ultimately murdered. But fate offers her a rare second chance: she wakes up in 2015, a full decade before her death.
Armed with foresight, Misa carefully crafts a new plan—this time, to push Tomoya and Reina into marrying each other, ensuring their undoing. But things get complicated when she meets Suzuki Wataru (Takeru Satoh), a mysterious corporate director who wasn't present in her original timeline. Wataru’s unexpected presence disrupts her revenge mission and slowly softens her hardened heart.
Recap of Episodes 7 and 8: The Calm Before the Storm
The drama intensifies in Episode 7, as Misa orchestrates Reina’s wedding to Tomoya. She makes a public appearance with Wataru, delivers a graceful yet loaded speech, and then quietly exits. The two retreat to Wataru’s home, where emotional walls break and a kiss seals their growing connection.
In Episode 8, the aftermath unravels quickly. Reina begins to understand that Misa was behind her wedding downfall. She confesses to Tomoya that she never loved him, unaware that Tomoya’s mother is eavesdropping. The revelation triggers a stroke, adding emotional and medical urgency. Simultaneously, Tomoya, burdened by cryptocurrency losses and psychological distress, lashes out and nearly kills Misa—until Wataru intervenes just in time.
But the real twist comes later: Misa opens up to Wataru, revealing that she was reborn after being murdered. She believes that Mrs. Shumiyoshi, a side character experiencing a mirrored betrayal and terminal illness, is tied to her unresolved fate. Wataru, overwhelmed and confused, distances himself and departs for Toyama, leaving both Misa’s future and the series' emotional climax in limbo.
As the finale nears, all eyes are on how Misa’s cycle of tragedy and revenge will finally resolve—and whether Wataru will return before it's too late.
What to Expect from Episodes 9 & 10 of Marry My Husband: Japan
As Marry My Husband: Japan races toward its conclusion, the highly anticipated final episodes—9 and 10—are set to bring answers, heartbreak, and perhaps unexpected twists. With viewers still reeling from the emotional tension in episodes 7 and 8, the finale promises to peel back the final layers of Misa’s mysterious second life and her connection to those around her.
One of the central questions lingering is the nature of Misa’s time travel—was it a one-time miracle, or is there something deeper, perhaps even supernatural, at play? The parallel between Misa and Mrs. Shumiyoshi—both betrayed, both ill—suggests that her journey may be part of a broader karmic cycle. Can Misa truly rewrite her fate, or is she destined to repeat her past?
Adding intrigue is Wataru’s sudden departure to Toyama and a cryptic flashback from episode 5 that showed a bridge accident, prompting fans to theorize that he may have a time-travel secret of his own. Could he be trying to change Misa’s path for a second time? His growing bond with Misa and the heartbreak in his last conversation with her point to unresolved truths.
Meanwhile, Reina and Tomoya’s storyline appears to be crumbling. With Tomoya’s emotional instability and Reina’s confessions catching up to them, the revenge Misa has been building may be nearing its final, brutal payoff. Yet, the question remains: Will Misa find satisfaction in vengeance, or sorrow in its aftermath?
The final episodes are reportedly titled with a “sad” tone, according to fans reacting on X (formerly Twitter), suggesting that the show may opt for a bittersweet resolution, perhaps departing from the more dramatic ending of its Korean predecessor.
One thing is certain: Marry My Husband: Japan is building to an emotional crescendo. With everything on the line—love, justice, and self-redemption—episodes 9 and 10 are sure to leave a lasting impression.
