Not Enough
Weirdly, the ending was the best part of this drama. I am surprised to say this, especially since I thought and still think this is one of my worst experiences in K-drama. None of the actors, or actresses did justice to their roles except perhaps Han Chae Ah as Yoo Yoon Young. She made me hate her, so kudos to her. The other was Mi So, Seo Jung Won, and Seol Jae Woo's little girl. She was adorable; she stole the show. Everybody else was a mess, even Kim Ha Neul; she was at her worst as Seo Jung Won. It's sad, as she is a gifted actor. I can't put all the blame on the actors. They didn't have much to work with in the story-telling, the directing, or the editing. An actor is only as good as the storyteller and director, and both could have done better. The drama had potential; it might have been a big hit with another writer, director, or even actors.I was glad to see the end of this drama. As bad as it was, I couldn't bring myself to drop it. I felt committed somehow, and I am not sure why. If there is anything I appreciate, it is the message the drama tries to leave us with—that power lies and corruption leads. As the saying goes, the problem with absolute power is that it corrupts even when exercised by kindly souls. But no matter how far wrong one goes, one can always turn around. I want to think the drama tries to bring awareness to the idea of not normalizing criminal behaviors and accepting twisted ideologies for fear of public criticism. Humans are better than that. At least, this is what I would like to take from this drama.
This is the lowest rating I have ever given a drama and 5 is being generous.

Unfortunately a complete let down
The 1st episode started well but as episodes started to pass the script & the dialogues didn't make sense at all with too much forced coincidences.The FL was introduced as strong & smart but after the first accidents I couldn't believe what dumb choices she made. Her husband talks in his sleep however only with his mistress, and never with the wife, so his secret is out. Not to forget the detective and his way of thinking. A pity as it had potential but the script writing was too messed up......Was this review helpful to you?
FL didn't work for me & Yet I can't stop watching for Jang Seung Jo....
Predictable story + failed FL casting but I can't drop the show either...I've seen enough of Kim Ha Neul's works, she's not terrible but she's never been amazing either. Even with the skin smoothing, she looks too old to be paired up with the 2 MLs. I am definitely not against mature actresses; I just want proper pairing. Either pair her up with more mature looking male actors (like reunite her with Jang Hyuk) or use another actress. Still the biggest issue is her character portrayal of this smart tough reporter isn't convincing. When scenes of the MLs express their hurt and love for the FL, you can feel their heart aches and then the FL just looks like she's trying to react, but her facial expressions just so lacking.
9 EPs in the MLs are carrying the series for me. Jang Seung Jo (The husband) especially is amazing. One minute he looks like the loving husband with puppy dog eyes then the next minute he delivers that psycho killer vibe -- Hot & Deadly! He's painful crying scenes make you feel like someone close to you just died. Gut Wrenching so good!!! Why I can't drop the series.
At Last it's over!!
For those who got offended at my bad "FL / MLs pairing":
1. You missed the point, I said proper pairing. There are many older FL/younger ML that WORKED in other dramas.
Lim Soo Jung/Jang Ki Yong in WWW 13 year age gap
Lee Da Hee/ Lee Jae Wook in WWW 14 year age gap
Gong Hyo Jin / Kang Ha Neul in When the Camellia Blooms 10 year age gap
just to name a few.
2. I did state the BIGGEST issue is her acting.
3. This is my personal opinion. No need to attack me.

No Thank You
I only watched it for Yeon Woo Jin. I'm simply glad that this travesty has ended. The female lead is so annoying that she tampers with the crime scene and makes poor decisions. I am not shipping her and the police officer, I am rooting for the husband. Glad this drama is over. The reporter Seo Jung Won was emotionless her husband just wanted someone to love him and she was not that person she loved her career more than her husband, the police officer was stuck in the past, and his love for a married woman was a bit disturbing. The writer and the director tried to force-feed the audience with this nonsense of first love, I usually like that concept, but not in this case where the FL was very selfish and tampered with the crime scene and never showed any emotion.Was this review helpful to you?
I wasted my time watching 14 eps of this crap.
I really regret not dropping this after the second ep.This woman and the cop makes me want to smash my tv in!
I thought I would be able to hang in there since I made it this far but
the female lead really UGH I really hate her character. The cop his a straight fool and frankly the two of them deserves each other. The husband I have no words for him.

AMAZING
An amazing thriller-mystery kdrama with a spark of romance. The cast on 🔝. They served their roles perfectly!!!(Note: some people dont like the age gap between the actors and say the FM doesn't have chemistry with neither of the MLs. But they really DO HAVE CHEMISTRY. Dont forget we are talking about a thriller drama not just a melodrama)
Seung-jo really made me hate his character (husband).
Taehoon and FML deserve a happy ending.
The plot twist in ep 14 😭😭😭. WHAAAAAAT? My poor Taehoon...
(Personally the only thing i dont like is the unexpected pregnancy. I hope it's a lie the Fml made up in order to punish the killer and her husband. It would be such a good twist)
I recommend it even if some people find absurd the Fml (because of the age). Give it a try!!!

I just saw this same drama with Jang Na ra as lead
Same drama same storyworking woman left her lonely husband to find love and then blame him for finding love
while she never ever loved her husband but demanded complete loyalty while she herself had another man in her heart, who never left.
here we have a jerk cop who try to frame anyone he find but not FL when she is even caught he give her chance and told his minion to take care of her, is he a cop or MLs servant
how this cheap drama can only cast two police officer, one even without brain or tongue
Garbage try to copy Jang na ra drama as fast as they can, they casted 3 different people who live in three different worlds
Cop is just desperate to frame husband and take his ex girlfriend because he know she cant live alone,
she is fake independent woman who need a man, why this woman cant kick there cheating husband without finding a man to depend on,
FL manipulate crime scene buts its okey her lover is cop
she is prime suspect but lets call her something else......
No one gone Question that cop drunk with lust what he is doing because they got just two cop,
both cop were investigating case not to caught the killer but main focus was how ML can get FL safely into his bed
they need to protect FL so mL can have her
TO those who going to come and defend this garbage i hope you meet a cop that is desperate to screw your wife......

It's a typical cliché drama
Leads have zero Chemistry between themKim Ha neul looks so old.
I just felt like there's at least ten year gap between Kim Ha neul and Jang seung jo
Also she has zero chemistry with Yeon woo jin.
I just felt that if they casted Someone younger instead of 46 years old Kim Ha neul or someone Older than both Male leads there would have been some natural chemistry between them.
