This is my first time writing a review and I created an account just for this as well. I was having such a huge k-drama burnout but this drama really helped me get back to it. This is literally such a masterpiece, at first I read the summary and it sounded so boring but after reading a few reviews, I decided to give it a watch and it did not disappoint me at all! I have never cried this much and been this invested in a drama.

However, I have a few small complaints that doesn't matter much but I just wanna rent about it a little. I feel like they could have added more character development and backstory to many side characters. Personally I actually felt pretty bad for the characters that were perceived on the "mean" side in the drama.


(Spoiler - just my personal rent about this)
I honestly wanted to get to know the wife, the CEO and the mean guy who kept beating IU's character more (sorry i'm extremely bad with names). I feel like the more I watched the more I pitied the wife more. So many people are gonna disagree with me here and im so sorry to say this, but I kinda understand why she was having an affair, the main lead guy is also kinda at fault. I mean he wasn't that great of a husband either and barely talks to his wife. They kept talking about how trash the CEO was, and maybe that's just from my own perspective on things, but I didn't really see anything super wrong or bad with him. He just seemed like an adult who hasn't grown up mentally yet, like a kid's mind in an adult world. Lastly, the "abuser" ill call him. His story actually made me really sad honestly, he never learnt how to express his feelings, mostly because of his abusive dad, so he just kinda grew up like the only adult he saw, his dad. Idk he just made me really sad the more the drama went on. Anyways, I think they could've added more story or told more backstory on them.

Maybe that's just me for another thing, but I think they could've made this drama even more focused on the normal daily life of everyone (aka more backstory of side characters) instead of focusing so much on the plot of bringing down the main guy.

This makes it seem like I hated the drama now that i'm reading this again haha. Other than my small complaints, this was a really wholesome drama, much different from the typical format, and I will definitely rewatch this when im in my 30's and maybe I'd have different opinions, reactions and feelings about it than now :)
