All of those Netflix episodes… 39 to bee an t and the series turned out to be open-ended; very frustrating. I understand there is a movie that followed that ties up those loose ends but it is not offered on Netflix so I may never see it; 2023 is close to ending.

The series was well crafted and the characters were well developed; had me emotionally sucked into it. . The story had me yelling out loud at the husband, “Don’t do it. you idiot,” and yelling at Chris Wang’s character, “Say something, tell her how you feel. Don’t just think it.” In the USA we would assume that the husband was just thinking with his “dick” but we learn that he didn’t let that happen before the divorce. I suspected that Chris Wang’s character was interested in the wife when he first encountered her early on and I felt he had a real chance at the end. I loved the scene at the lounge where the brother and sister-in- law were celebrating the s-i-l’s birthday. Chris Wang’s character and the ex-wife were so happy and animated, thoroughly enjoying each other’s company;. However, as I said earlier I may never know if they ever kissed or committed to each other, and I feel really cheated and unsatisfied about the ending.

I’ve been through divorce and I understand the complexities of loss of self pride and self-esteem ; trusting again, particularly with a with a younger man; having to consider and evaluate the possibility of introducing your child into your new relationship while not endangering their relationship with their father; and the established adjustment to life after divorce; becoming a breadwinner. Most movies tend to gloss over those issues without much sensitivity in favor of saving production costs..
