Interesting, but not deep

To be honest, I have no idea how to rate this show. I didn't hate the ending at all, but I'm more confused by the show than anything.

The plot itself is interesting. I never really knew what was coming, and normally I pride myself on being able to predict the plot. But this time, I truly didn't know what to expect. It's not that there are plot twists, it's more like I just didn't know what the drama wanted to do. At first, I thought that the new/fake/replacement husband was going to just be a better partner to her and she would want to be with him instead of her original husband. Then, as things progressed, we saw that that wasn't so much the case. But then I truly didn't know what the drama wanted to prove.

I wasn't emotionally invested in the drama, but I was curious about it. The reason I kept watching was mostly because I wanted to know how it ended. There reached a point where I thought the drama ended - everything had pretty much resolved - and then I saw we still had 20 minutes left and was wondering what they were going to do with that time. The following 20 minutes actually worked well with the drama, it was interesting to see the consequences of a certain character's actions. Never did I feel like there were unnecessarily drawn out plots, which I guess is a good thing.

There were a few things that were slightly unbelievable - the therapist readily believing her, for one. But for the most part, it was an interesting show where I just kind of shut off my brain and watched.

It's not a bad drama, but I don't think I'd call it good either. Like another reviewer said, if you have time to kill, I'd give it a shot. Just don't expect any romance.
