Original Title: Miss Wife. A good heartwarming movie.
fluffset1 March 2017
You've seen movie like this a lot, its still formulaic, cliché and everything. But, if it still make you wanna watch it till the end, it still got you. Wonderful Nightmare just like any movie from the same genre that tell you about some bad people who got into some other medium that will change their life forever. We know what will happen in the end, whether the main character will change or not, but we still enjoy watching their transition. I love this movie, well-crafted film making, with some experienced korean actors, nice script and everything. I totally recommend this movie for all korean cinema lover. Even for anyone who want to try some korean cinema, this one can be quite a good start. Enjoy!

Very well done for the subject matter
phd_travel24 October 2020
There have been some Hollywood movies about going back to life from heaven and getting another chance. This one is very well balanced with a talented cast, humor, warmth, a serious issue and then a connection of caring. The story is written cleverly to aviid plot holes and tie things up neatly. Uhm Jung Hwa captures all the different emotions well. Moving performance. Song Seung Heon does a good job too. Worth a watch.

Familiar premise, well done but just too sad for me
Musicianmagic16 April 2020
The premise has been used numerous times like in "Heaven Can Wait" and others. Played out to pull on your heart strings. As a whole it was interesting, had a few laughs but its not for everyone. Some scenes I found just too sad or upsetting to me. If you are sensitive as I am, then I do not recommend. Otherwise, if you can deal with extreme sadness, then you'll enjoy this movie.

Very mediocre generic movie
KineticSeoul17 October 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This plot device has been done many times before. You know, where a characters goes into a alternate dimension or to the past or the future or, take possession of another person's body or appearance and makes a difference in the people's life. And it also changes the protagonist view point during that process. Yes, it's been done so many times in movies before. This is a passable movie, but it just doesn't stand out much at all when it comes to these types of genre. It's like they copied a bunch of scenarios from other movies that deals with this similar situation and just combined few of them. It's actually quite obvious the Director copied few elements from the movie "The Adjustment Bureau" as well. Well at least emulated it. There isn't anything really all that bad about this movie. And I did like the message about family, although some may agree and some won't. Considering the marriage rate in Korea and japan right now. So yeah, it's a passable movie but it's also so so darn average to the point it's easily forgettable.

Korean cinema at its best
heniekb20 December 2018
Honestly I didn't expect much from this movie. Sometimes it works the best if you have a very low expectations and this came out to be a light romantic comedy at the height of Korean film industry. The first good thing about it was Jeong-hwa Eom playing the main character. Once Seung-heon Song joined her it got even better. Of course the story ends in a stereotypical way but it is a very pleasant watch all through the movie.

Soul touching movie full of concrete life lessons
vpashish30 December 2021
Beautifully directed and even more amazingly presented by all the actors. At start I was really not expecting this movie to turn out this good. But as it went further it became more and more intense and interesting. All things about this movie are just perfect, the exceptionally brilliant acting, direction, dialogues, music etc. And also it is full of concrete life lessons. A perfect package which you can enjoy with your friends and family. A comedy + emotions booster dose to uplift your mood.

I can't say much
brawlerflash9 April 2020
I wanted to give a long description but the other reviewers have already pretty much said what I wish to write. The ending is pretty predictable but the progression of the story feels very natural so it is very easy to understand why this movie would make you feel attached with the main character.

However, I do want to add on that this movie is one of the best Korean movies I have seen in a while!

ONE OF THE BEST MOVIE
AVIIRAM1 February 2023
Korean movies are always comes with new concepts and they merge the reality and fantacy to elevate emotional stories in a very entertaining way and this was fantastically done in this movie and if you can relate to this story then you will defintely cry a littlebit and also have fun .

The plot was simple and exceuted humurously with perfect narration and emotions. The performances were good and the comedy works and screenplay was good too.

For starters this was definitely recommended movie.

Only negatives of this movie are the predictable story cause you have already see this kind of stories and you also predict the story end, but still you will enjoy so just try it and have fun.
