How to survive a broken marriage ?

PLOT: The FL, ex-elite in studies and professional field, became a housewife after the birth of her daughter. One day she realizes that her husband is cheating on her and has put all their assets in his name. She decides to join forces with the mistress to ensure she has custody of her daughter and gets back what is rightfully hers. She also needs to find a job...

PROS:
+ This woman's journey is intelligently written. Lots of divorcees (myself included) can identify with the character.
+ This drama is brought to life by excellent actors. Everyone, including the hateful husband.
+ Very nice sorority between wife and mistress

CONS:
- the narration is quite slow. [Divorce only happens in ep. 26].Okay, it's a long journey and a slow, complex process, but some of the arcs (kidnapping by the grandparents) go on way too long. I would have liked the reconstruction of FL's life to take up more space on the screen.
- the character of the husband (then ex-husband) takes up too much space in this drama. His behavior sometimes lacks subtlety: narcissistic perverts behave with more finesse, even if it is certainly difficult to translate into a series.
- the romance of CL is almost absent: only 1 kiss at the wedding, no hug or skinship = 0 chemistry ლ(ಠ_ಠლ)

=> Series mainly focused on the acceptance of the failure of a marriage, divorce, reconstruction. It's an intelligently written story, but the characters (mature yet also cold and calculating) are not really endearing.
******************************************************************************************
PLOT : La FL, ex-élite dans études et domaine professionnel, est devenue femme au foyer après la naissance de sa fille. Elle s'aperçoit un jour que son mari la trompe et a mis tous les biens à son nom. Elle décide de s'allier à la maîtresse pour s'assurer d'avoir la garde de sa fille & de récupérer ce qui lui revient. Elle doit aussi retrouver un travail...

PROS:
+ Ce parcours de femme est intelligemment écrit. Bcp de divorcées (moi compris) peuvent s'identifier au personnage.
+ Ce drama est mis en vie par d'excellents acteurs. Tous, y compris le mari détestable.
+ Très jolie sismance entre femme et maitresse

CONS:
- la narration est assez lente. [Le divorce n'arrive que dans l'ép. 26].Ok, il s'agit d'un long parcours et d'un processus lent et complexe, mais certains arcs (kidnapping par les grand-parents) durent vraiment trop longtemps. J'aurai aimé que la reconstruction de vie de la FL prenne plus de place à l'écran.
- le personnage du mari (puis ex-mari) prend trop de place dans ce drame. Son comportement manque parfois de subtilité : les pervers narcissiques jouent plus en finesse, même si c'est certainement difficile à traduire dans une série.
- la romance du CL est quasiment absente : 1 seul kiss lors du mariage, pas de hug ni de skinship = 0 chemistry ლ(ಠ_ಠლ)

=> Série surtout centrée sur l'acceptation de l'échec d'un mariage, le divorce, la reconstruction. C'est une histoire intelligemment écrite, mais les personnages, matures (OK) mais froids et calculateurs, ne sont pas vraiment attachants.
