Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned

Reflections of You is touted to be a drama about love, betrayal and revenge. In this case, Goo Hae Won was the woman out for revenge, her fury focused on Jung Hee Joo who had an affair with her husband, Seo Woo Jae. GHW's demented approach for revenge was unconvincing. Why only focus on JHJ when her husband SWJ was equally guilty. On one hand she stalked JHJ, tried to ruin her family through her daughter and husband and on the other, she was pining over SWJ like a lovesick moron when he obviously did not care about her. She brandished SWJ's guilt to his face as a weapon to ensure his total devotion to her. This was one big inconsistency in the story. Instead of being the victim. GHW came across as mentally unstable, an obsessive stalker unable to accept reality. She could not face the fact that SWJ never really loved her. She blamed JHJ for her toxic relationship with her husband instead of admitting the truth right before her eyes.

JHJ got her just desserts in the end. She had an affair with SWJ and when it was no longer convenient for her, she left him with no sense of guilt and remorse. She destroyed the people around her; her husband, GHW, SWJ, her children. So yeah, she deserved the punishment of losing everything she held dear in her life.

Overall, the drama was good but slow and draggy. The repetitive whining of GHW became boring and made me hate her. I wanted to scream, "Get over it woman, move on!!!! He's not even a good catch. You are pining over an immature loser."
