Based on the synopsis, it sounds like an open marriage given that the husband / wife have an agreement to let the husband see his lover once a month.

Some dramas with a similar vibe I'd recommend if you liked this -
Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi
A Sleeping Forest
Watashi wo Hanasanaide
Kono Yo No Hate
Soredemo, Ikite Yuku
Suna no Utsuwa (2004)

And some other general recommendations for darker romances in this list: https://mydramalist.com/list/1zygeMx4

The first 3 episodes are out!
*runs to watch*

From what I saw, 3 episodes have been released already.

4 more days for it to release, and probably 1 week for it to be subbed.
So yes, a decade indeed.

WHAT A FANTASTIC ACTOR!
He blew me away with his performance in Suna No Utsuwa.

All the badass guys from Japanese cinema unite
HAHAHA
Now I have to watch this.

I'm only 3 episodes in and I couldn't agree more.

The way each piece pierces at my heart, the way it elevates the tension, the way it just moves me. The score of this drama is STELLAR. I'm blown away by it.
What an auditory treat.

I always say this for shorter dramas that are good - you really don't need a lot to deliver substance. It's all about having a good script and actors that can deliver. This had both. In less than 10 mins, this short drama showed us a journey of two people / two actors falling in love. We don't even know the background / struggles of these two characters and yet, the acting was powerful enough to show you when the lines got blur and fiction became reality. I would love to see more of these two.
Highly recommend this :)

I screamed when I saw the neighbourhood HAHA

I hesitated before writing my comment thinking if it would offend anyone from Africa but then I thought I am writing based on my experience so why not?
I had the opportunity to visit few countries a decade ago, namely Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Swaziland, Ghana and I think 1 more which I can't remember at the top of my head and I was amazed by the diversity and culture; something we don't see portrayed in western media. There's poverty no doubt but there are resources, there is richness, there are opportunities and it's such a bustling place that is developing.
I've never seen as many Mercedes Benz on the road as I saw in Harare. Some of the places like Swaziland were so beautiful. Some of the villages, while poor, were resourceful as well. Some of the students from college were learning really advanced mathematics and physics, unlike what we're told that they're not educated or civilized.
Like it's sad that the West only focuses and pushes for the poor narrative when it comes to the African continent. I'd rather it be called a land of opportunities.

And I'm sorry if my comment sounds ignorant or naive. It came from my experience. Please feel free to tell me more and share.

Just because I pointed out something I found offensive that you don't agree with, you should not go around telling people there isn't hope for them. I don't think you would like it if someone said the same to you.
I am not asking anyone to agree with me. Just like everyone, I am stating my opinion respectfully, and you can too.

My comment was respectful.
Tolerance does not mean we take everything and do not point out our opinions.

I did not talk about whether being obese is healthy or not. I merely said why shame them? There are bigger bodied people who are bullied and go through a lot of trauma because of it.

Also, yes - I am not denying that Africa doesn't have poverty, terrorism etc.
But the "poor children of Africa" comment is a stereotype and narrative ignoring the other realities of the continent. An example: rising obesity in Africa where "1 in 5 adults and 1 in 10 children are projected to be obese by December 2023" or even the whole history of corruption and exploitation.

Anyway this is no contest. To each their own.

I love how silly and cute the 1st episode was, and I was prepared to love it BUT why can't they be funny without being offensive? Humour doesn't always have to offend.

I literally made the same comment on another K drama which I dropped yesterday - WHY are bigger sized women always presented as gluttons who just eat all day? They seriously need to stop with the fat-shaming. One's body does not define their identity. There is so much more to a person's personality beyond the way they look.

Also, what's with the racist and ignorant bit of him sponsoring African children? There is poverty in every damn country. Africa isn't the only continent with poor people. South Korea itself is filled with tons of poor people.

That aside, I'm enjoying this. Let' s see how long it lasts.

This is random but I'm on E1 and the neighbourhood the FL moved into - SUCH NOSTALGIA! So many of the older K dramas used to be filmed there.. seeing it in a K drama after so long made me feel old and happy LOL

24. It is being subbed slowly.

I'm currently watching Love on A Shoestring and it has the same vibe with the effects, campiness, and simple characters. It's probably even more funny and campy than this.

A simple, delicate movie dealing with hard-hitting issues relating to immigration, identity, culture, discrimination (to name a few). Arashi Lina really delivered. I would love to see more of her. Also, have to say this - movies like these fill me with so much empathy and sadness for people who have to struggle for the most basic necessities in life, and equally thankful and privileged that I can sit comfortably in a home of my own and have access to the basic necessities. It's really not a fair world. I wonder what I did to deserve this privilege and why the same isn't given to everyone..
