"A realistic and relatable romance that depicts the emotional waves and fractures in relationships experienced…
More realistic and relatable than you think. What do you think the world is, two people always fall in love and happily ever after ? What is this, Disney ? lol
Agreed - I am not a big fan of adultery storylines. You dont have to have sleep with someone to be cheating -…
Whatever you say. They aren't married though in the drama. Could be cheating. But there are N U A N C E S. If the couple mutually agree, that they should take a break and see other people, then it is not cheating.
Retribution is always tempting but that's a rabbit hole which is endless. Sometimes, in emotional turmoil, a simple…
What is even this comment lol..
"That's why kdrama never be able to reach that global standards because they have very limited imagination or carter more to certain audience "..
-If it works, why fix it ? Kdrama is global enough, they don't need more. Greed can lead to a mess. It is already shaky thanks to Netflix and other streaming conglomerates focusing on quantity over quality.
"I have never seen a drama where FL cheat or ML wife cheat and they get revenge."
- Why would anyone need revenge for cheating ? Someone cheats, break up, get divorced. You can say, on average, the consequences that the male leads face are greater than that of the female leads. Sure, Korea is heavily patriarchal, hence the entertainment industry is the opposite. They don't cater to govt propaganda through movies and TV unlike many other countries.
"If your ego is not hurting for toxic relationship I don't know if you have pride at all ."
- Sorry to disappoint that my ego isn't that fragile. When parents lose a child through something that was preventable, 90% of the time that relationship turns toxic, as there are blames go back and forth. And less than 50% of the time they resolve their issues and remain a stable couple. Until you lose a loved one in the same way, you will never get it. British drama Broadchurch is another great example of it. How husband and wife deal with the grief and how it affects their relationship. Welcome to Samdal-ri. The Husband holds a grudge for decades against a whole family and their kids because only one member was partially responsible for the death of his wife. Unfair ? Sure. Frustrating for the viewers ? Sure. But do the residents of the town understand that the grief made the guy bitter and unreasonable ? Sure.
Watch something that is of your taste bud. Complaining won't help.

Watch it for what it is. Drama audience love to see male leads groveling more than female leads ..so be it. Keep the story contained within its universe rather than drawing parallels between men and women from other universes. I am a guy, and I know what loss does to a person..be it a man or a woman. My ego is not hurt at all seeing what the ML is going through.

Adultery is a strong word to throw around. Cheating ? Perhaps. But there are also nuances. Here, both of them will go through emotional turbulence. Nothing wrong in dramatizing real feelings. Long term relationships can often go stale. For the both parties. Here they will decide, should they rediscover their sparks ? Or do they need catalysts (new faces) to stir that spark ? Or do they just move on. It is a melodrama after all.
FL is like, 'bro, I am sorry'and the ML is like 'here is my heart, my lungs, my liver, my eyes, my testicles and…
Retribution is always tempting but that's a rabbit hole which is endless. Sometimes, in emotional turmoil, a simple apology goes a long way, if it is sincere.
The plot sounds horrendous. And it wont be realistic or relatable at all thats certain
Whether a plot is horrendous or not, that is perspective. As for being realistic, yeah there are plenty of couples across the globe go into and fall out of long term relationships because of lingering issues, sparks vanishing and a myriad of reasons..new people entering their lives is one of them. I applaud Korea for exploring this side when most of their mainstream romances are so sterilized.
It has a melodrama tag, so it will not explore the spark of a new romance in details, most probably the guilt of capturing new feelings while being in a long term relationship, and how the couple confront each other but also themselves, as both of them find new horizons.
They had been together for 10 years and yet the guy did not put a ring on it. The relationship requires some fixing, be it outside interference.
But adultery ? What is this, the medieval times ?
