Most disappointing drama I’ve ever watched

How to get easily frustrated?

Watch this drama.

From nonsense plots, countless slaps to antagonists clawing their way out of their wicked plans, this drama has it all to make you feel so angry. When you think the FL is getting some progression towards her revenge, guess what? Nope! The antagonists get back on track, commit miserable things again and crimes without getting caught or punished by the law. The FL doesn’t seem to have the will to manage that deep anger she feels for being wrongfully accused of horrible things she supposedly did. She lacks action and passively puts up with the situation. She’s been deceived, cheated on, deprived of many things, they made her believe horrendous lies, she has suffered a lot so in the beginning you think once she gathers herself together, her emotions and gets out of prison, she will be unstoppable.


Yes, there will be moments where not everything will go as planned but for sure, karma is going to taste like heaven. It’s going to be epic! And …… The more you continue watching, the more you find yourself asking, what in the tangerines is going on? How can a storyline be so low quality and so messed up? They keep adding up more and more drama, to the point it’s getting ridiculous! The drama they are adding is so absurd.

Most of the characters, if not all, are annoying or have their annoying moments where you just don’t understand their behavior. It’s okay to be annoying, but these characters have another level of annoyance. I find it so hard to sympathize with them. It’s definitely a case of a kdrama where the producers openly decided to not care about the storyline making it credible but milk the **** out of it. Also, why is it called Second Husband? I don’t understand at all where this drama is heading to. That’s why I dropped it.

Huge disappointment, doesn’t deserve 7.6. Also wanted to point out something, what’s with Koreans and the slapping? The amount of slaps in this kdrama is unbelievable. They slap each other as if it was something normal. “Hey” *slap*, “What are you doing?” *slap*, *breathes* *slap*..

Story: don’t expect to be “wowed”. It’s getting dragged and the story is full of nonsense. The Sharon episodes got me rolling my eyes so hard they reached my brain. It felt like the producers were making fun of the viewers. How can they not recognize Seon Hwa aka Sharon. Let me disappear for a bit and then come back to my family, friends and ennemis and call myself Susan. New hairstyle, new clothes, new way of speaking.. nobody’s gonna know….. LMAO. 0 credibility.

Music: inexistant. Barley remember being pleasantly surprised.

Actors: disappointing acting. Seems like they just debuted acting. However, Seon Hwa and Hae-Ran are the only ones that made me continue watching this drama. Both of them carried it on their backs. They know how to convey emotions and honestly I think they deserve to act in a kdrama that has the potential to hit a huge success with a storyline that truly makes their acting shine even more. The cast is lacking a lot of experience in my opinion.

Overall: the starting of the drama was so promising then it just got dragged. 120 episodes out of 150 and we viewers aren’t satisfied at all. There’s no light at the end of tunnel, no moments where the FL really stands up and starts doing the right things to get her revenge. She tries, yes. Some moments where you think she finally got that until she gets screwed up again by the antagonists. Not satisfactory at all. No matter how they will end this kdrama, I can already predict the FL will still struggle until the very end and the last episode will show how she finally got her revenge. A revenge that was overdue, unimpressive and unemotional . This kdrama made the antagonists shine more than the FL. The producers didn't seem to want to make this drama a success, in my opinion, it was just a question of getting that paycheck (they extended the drama by 30 episodes btw, so it says it all..). Conclusion: Second Husband is a waste of time, there are many kdramas worth our precious time. You can watch it but something tells me you will drop it ASAP and if it’s not the case, then respect!
