Second half ruins the entire series so not worth watching.
First half is great, second half ruins the entire series, making it completely NOT WORTH WATCHING. I really wish I hadn't seen this one. The OST choice is so retarded, it grates on your soul.Spoilers ahead: The female lead never learns, there is absolutely no character growth for her whatsoever throughout the series. She also constantly apologizes to everyone despite being the victim, and she goes out of her way many times to end things on a good note with her abusers, like whaaat?! Additionally, the female lead's mother is sooo poorly written that she just ends up becoming toxic, and everyone always caves to her demands despite acknowledging that she is in the wrong. As for the OST (specifically, "Stand By Your Man"), I personally hate the person who decided to use this song and the moments they used it. I'd like to know what they were smoking so I could avoid it. The way they ended things felt so rushed and weird to watch. Towards the end, I kept wanting to skip it because of how terrible the story gets. But I watched it for the sake of finishing this series and getting it over with so I could move on to something better. If you do end up watching SITR and getting traumatized like I did, I recommend watching something like "Love to Hate You" next, which is what I did and which I feel cured me from SITR trauma.
PS: I haven't seen "One Spring Night" but I read it is very similar to SITR but better story and mature characters and somehow from the same director.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
