Emotional love story
About the cheating tag
-----------------------------
In my opinion, what happens at the beginning of this drama is not cheating: the FL knows the ML doesn’t want to be with his cold wife anymore, but she doesn’t accept the divorce. This is different from being in a relationship in which you believe your spouse loves you, but then cheats.
Not accepting to divorce when one spouse knows the other truly wants to, is in my opinion unacceptable, but fortunately, and unlike South Korea, there are about 80 countries whose laws offer ways out of this predicament with no-fault type of divorce, that allows only one of the spouses to file and be granted the divorce without going to court.
We know how many centuries had to pass to get laws that protect women from undesirable marriages. One of my uncles in Spain never agreed to divorce and my aunt couldn’t even be in another relationship, until the law was changed in the 80s. I can’t even imagine her impotence.
I wonder, if the roles were reversed and the FL was the one married to an unfeeling jerk who opposes the divorce, how the comments about infidelity in the MDL chatroom would have been.
In my case, in the first episodes I wanted to get rid of the FL probably more than the ML did, and since Koreans can’t divorce unless both agree, or determined by a court, I would have done anything to force her to sign it. But the FL grew after losing her memory, recognized her past wrongdoings in her job and with her husband, and their love story became very deep.

About my rating
This is a soap opera, not my favorite genre, but I fell in love with the main couple’s love story, great chemistry, very emotional, all the nuances of it were very well done (even more after ep. 11). I found myself binge-watching it, barely sleeping during one weekend, because I needed to know what would happen next, despite the typical villains with family and corporate intrigues.
It has too many episodes, but I’ll probably rewatch those parts that I liked the most about their love story.
