Sun Jae is a twenty-year-old piano genius who became a delivery man without finishing high school due to his poor background. One day, he delivers a package to a classical music concert hall, and he plays the piano positioned on stage. Sun Jae is found by Hye Won, an elite art director at the Arts Foundation and wife to a piano professor. Hye Won instantly recognizes his talent and sends him to lessons under her husband to cultivate him into a leading young musician.

Born to a poor family, Sun Jae had never taken formal music lessons and is overwhelmed by Hye Won’s support. Piano lessons are his salvation and she becomes his muse. One thing leads to another and he confesses to her, “I need you more desperately than music now.” Hye Won is deeply affected by his masculine charm and pleading eyes. Yet she cannot afford to throw away everything she has worked to build. However, it would be even worse to lose this young lover. Hye Won thinks to herself, “This is my punishment, for being ignorant of my feelings and arrogant in the face of love."

From the outside, Han Sun Joo’s life has always appeared to be nothing short of perfect. Born into a wealthy family, Sun Joo and her younger brother, Han Jung Won, were raised without a care in the world. Now as adults, Jung Won has grown up extraordinarily warm-hearted, allowing him to maintain an unwavering sense of optimism while Sun Joo has become the ideal married woman, with a gorgeous home, a devoted husband and two beautiful children. Unfortunately, Sun Joo’s perfect life is on the verge of collapse.

Absolutely penniless when he married Sun Joo, Shin Myung Seop has spent the entirety of his married life slowly climbing the ranks of his mother-in-law’s company, the LaReine Group. Now well-established in his career, Myung Seop appears to be a devoted husband and father, yet when he meets Yoon Mi Ra, things take a complicated turn.

Soon entangled in a secret affair, Myung Seop and Mi Ra live in constant fear of discovery.

Three equally successful women will prove to be the unraveling of each of their so-called 'happy marriages.'

Song Won is divorced, a skilled literary translator of Chinese, and lawyer Sa Hyun's mature gym partner.

A Mi is single in her twenties and has spent the last two years shuttling between South Korea and the US in order to complete her studies. A shared airplane seat and a love of horses bring her and the doctor together. Add into the mix Yoo Shin's unusual relationship with his father's new wife, a classy, well-kept woman who raised him from childhood.

Dean Hae Ryoon hires the beloved actress Nam Ga Bin, whose career he has followed, to teach at the university, bringing the two in welcomed routine contact.

Mistresses aside, each couple has an Achilles heel that brings about much unhappiness, could trigger divorce proceedings, and leave them all wondering just how much happiness are we entitled to in life?

Both dramas revolve around common themes like infidelity, friendship, tangled relationships b/w family members (due to scandalous affairs), authoritarian in-laws, mid-life crisis, etc
As usual we have makjang elements & clichés added but deep down the plots are quite realistic as they deal with human desires & instincts fighting wit human duties & social laws.
How our MC’s strike a balance b/w the above factors is the driving point of the plot & it gives us a lot to ponder upon.

Both the dramas have the same ML & a similar setting so if you liked one you may want to try the other too.
