Chey Jul 25 2026 11:25 am Wow! Episode 7 now. What a plot twist!

Please keep this up, Writer-nim. ? I'm loving this drama than Agent Kim Reactivated., TBH. The latter started with a bang but now it's been awfully dragging unlike The Husband in which episode after episode just keeps interesting. I can't wait for episode 8.

Kingsman Jul 23 2026 8:26 am On ep 6 now...

Wtfff!!! Okay maybe I'm to logical person, but whenever you had a chance run away from kidnapper, run like your LITERAL LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!! dont ever STOP or even trust any passer by/stranger or wait for "RANDOM" car in middle of nowhere. IDK wether the Director/ scriptwriter or any of the film staff are just dumb as hell to make the character have survival instinct of a F@#£%ng POTATO!! Also, Kang taeju's character is so slow that his a "WANTED" person and why he doesn't show any sense of urgency, like in the hospital scene. Didn't he knew that the police onto his ass. And when you down a bad guy/girl, don't just stop at 1 hit. Give more hit to make sure no coming back or shoot his/her leg. I could say, this drama could have shorten to 10 or 8 episode cos i feel like draggy somehow.

Disclaimer: this is my Opinion

CSB Jul 23 2026 4:44 am Namkoong Min is the only reason i watched this drama, i hope the wife gets killed.

Olya_1004 Jul 22 2026 4:56 am I'm still midway through episode 6 but I've been saying from the start that the video of him "ordering" the kidnapping seems like a deepfake. He was initially shown too drunk to even keep his eyes open but in the car he suddenly makes such a request? Yeah sure. I'm shocked the cops never thought to check the validity of an anonymous tip.

The other thing is that the kidnappers definitely have a personal connection to both the main guy and the cop whose wife was killed. If money was truly the goal,they would have taken it straight away. My theory initially was that the kidnapper had a wife who was treated by the doctor and died but with episode 6 I'm wondering if maybe it was a child instead? Although it doesn't explain why he needs to kill wives.

I think the drama started off slowly but it's been unraveling and getting more interesting,the wife definitely made some dumb choices,like sticking around to try and save the other woman. I'm also not a huge fan of that actress so far. In the past 6 months she's been in at least 3 dramas I've watched, this one,Gold Land and the ex of ML in Doctor on the edge. In all of these I don't like her characters.

Happy98 Jul 21 2026 8:31 am Just finished episode 6 and can’t wait to comment here… how speechless I am for Kim DaeMyung’s name NO MONEY hahaha goshhhh as usual, I’m a fan of Nam Goongmin’s project, this one also good. There are a lot of things unclear even though we are on the halfway point. The craziness, Unpredictability scenes, love it

Wonderwhy Jul 20 2026 8:43 pm @hih, i support u! how i wish the kidnapper kill the wife, she's damn annoying, especially when her husband here to save her, and she keep on with tat stupid face, just becoz of that freaking video, another things with @tofu, what's wrong wit u?! what is the reason for her to act the way she act?! she's just a selfish wife who cant accept own wrong/failure and place all blame on her husband! there's no explaination on how her daughter get into accident to begin with and u blame ur husband for not picking up phone, for doing operation in another end?! for own doing?! crazy!

BUT, i do think, the story will show more on what happen to their daughter, maybe there's connection wit the kidnapper husband and wife!

John Abraham Jul 20 2026 1:59 pm At the end of episode 5, the kidnapped wife should have killed the kidnapper when he was temporarily blinded by dust in his eyes. I would have killed the kidnapper when I had a chance, instead of running away from him. Similary at the end of ep 6, he should have keep htting the kidnapper in he head till he died The KIDNAPPER HAS STUPID PLOT ARMOUR

TSL Jul 20 2026 2:20 am I must say it started off slot but after Ep 3, it sort of got more interesting and the plot thickens.. now i am actually looking forward to more ep

Maddy Jul 19 2026 10:40 pm I'm still giving this a chance because of Namkoong Min. :(

Nelly Jul 19 2026 1:34 pm I loved watching kdrama, but this one is the least of all. A lot of bad events happened but the police are so focused on catching the husband instead of looking for the kidnapped wife. No wonder the ratings for this drama is very low.

ka Jul 19 2026 5:30 am One of the stupidest kdrama I’ve ever watched. Don’t @ me.

tofu Jul 19 2026 2:09 am @hih you are missing a good suspense-mystery-psycho drama. The wife acting like that has a reason too. You are just being impatient and judging too early

hih Jul 18 2026 9:28 am i cant stand woth the wife character.. just watch eps 1 (not finish either) but i cant watch it.. jus dont understand what the hell with the wife character… ugh… ill drop this drama.. why namkoongmin choose this drama? the story and plot is really annoying..

Steve Jul 15 2026 5:55 pm AI is not a good look here. The first scene where the doctor and his wife are climbing the cliff looks ridiculously fake. Either the production staff did not put in the effort to make it look real or AI simply is not ready. A plea to the K-Drama industry: don't use AI until it's good enough to fool the viewer.

Riri Jul 14 2026 9:27 am I just finished rewatching Hosp Playlst 1 and 2 for the third and second time respectively. And when the criminal started speaking, I knew his voice sounded so familiar!

Aye Jul 13 2026 8:01 pm Dr’s wife is unbeautiful- so ugly which make the movie seems not much interesting than thinking. What an awful ideas to use such a plain cast to be a supportive to the main cast.Holy Moly!!!

Chey Jul 12 2026 1:14 pm This has been very good spice its pilot episode!!!!! Please keep it up!

TBH, The Husband fares better now than Agent Kim Reactivated. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of both actors but the latter seems to be written better than the latter albeit the latter shows us exciting action scenes.

Michelle Jul 11 2026 6:29 pm I hope the story didn't got me I love namgoong min

Kdrama lover Jul 11 2026 6:26 pm The wife is unreasonable. The death of their daughter is not her husband's fault, treating him as though he caused her death. He was in the OR operating on someone. She should understand being in the hospital business that he cannot just abandon a patient mid operation. She blamed him, yet wouldn't grant him a divorce. What an annoying character. I have no sympathy for her and her parents. The writer thinks viewers are stupid.

I'll watch ep 4 and if the story doesn't improve, I'll drop it.

ghejeong Jul 06 2026 11:56 am With great actors & actrees, and great story line (Gone Girl) this will be great Kdrama. But i think they should tell the audience that this kdrama inspired by Gone Girl. Because the idea is priceless, and we must apreciate it by put the name of original one.

Chey Jul 05 2026 2:14 pm THIS and Agent Kim Reactivated are making my weekends great once again!!!!

Namkoong Min never disappoints and I must say Kim Dae Myung is as versatile as versatility can be. Hmmmm...there are 2 new villains on the block, jim and Choo Sang Wook of Agent Kim Reactivated.

Yes, this may be similar with Gone Girl but my curiosity with the character of Park Byung Eun.

Can't wait for the next episodes!!!!

Kpocchaco Jul 04 2026 11:33 pm The Husband hits the ground running! Nam Goong Min is absolutely captivating, perfectly portraying a man pushed to his breaking point. The first episode masterfully builds a suffocating atmosphere of domestic tension before delivering one of the most shocking cliffhangers I’ve seen in a long time. It is also a treat to see Kim Dae-myung on screen; his incredible range from his previous iconic roles to his performance here adds a brilliant, unsettling layer of intensity to the story. This show is dark, gripping, and deeply suspenseful—I am officially obsessed and cannot wait for the next episode!

Eddie Jul 02 2026 8:27 am I'm sat for this haha!!

? Love ji-hyun Jun 24 2026 8:29 am Very similar to the movie Gone Girl featuring a toxic marriage, a wife who goes missing right before an impending divorce, and a husband who immediately becomes the police and media's prime suspect...

What the hell...

figga Jun 12 2026 7:54 pm Namkoong Min! Nothing more is needed to watch this Drama!

Ya May 06 2026 5:10 pm Please! We are from Indonesia can access to watch this kdrama Cant wait to see Namkong Min❤️❤️❤️

Stavrosalo Mar 31 2026 3:03 pm Anything with Namkoong Min is a guaranteed masterpiece, can’t wait to watch it, he’s so so so talented

Chooozi Mar 23 2026 10:42 am It's been so long since I've seen a good action/lawyer/business kinda movie from mr nam...wow hope this series deliverss cuz really like nam's acting

Jillibean Feb 28 2026 12:48 am Ah, two stars who were in my favorite 2025 K-drama, Our Movie, reunited. This should be good -- no matter what it's about. lol
