This drama was heavily researched with a very liberal point of view. It is no surprise that this drama received quite a lot of hatred. It depicts the stories of modern marriages in the recent decades and the reality of life. Women living in the 21st century in democratic countries exercise their right to go after what they want; it is refreshing to see divorcees advance in life with a broader perspective, not wasting time lamenting over husbands who are not worth fighting for, and are mature enough to be glad with the happy endings of the mistresses (or 2nd wives, in this story) as they receive their own. I have never been married nor have I ever been in an affair so my view remains neutral but this drama leans more on the cynical, realistic side of marriages in this modern age in democratic countries. It's not your typical love affair drama. It is modern, bold, and liberal.
