I was emotionally attached?

One of the rare dramas which I was excited to keep watching and wanting more of even though it has ended. It explored the variation of love and infidelity among couples. The story didn't have perfect characters but flawed human beings which we all are. That truly helps people relate to situations. Only downside I would say is that this show somewhat has a main story and 2 side stories. One of which got somewhat repetitive and annoying at times, but I guess that was some of the comic relief. For me, a great show is a show which I only need to watch once because I was so engrossed into the story. It was clear and understanding. I would say it makes viewers empathetic towards all the characters which brings us in a rollercoaster of emotions.



*Spoilers below?*









The entire beginning I had the same idea a the male lead in that he had the "perfect wife". As the show progressed and started to dive into with wife's struggle and most likely every other working wife/mother out in the world I start to have empathy towards her actions.

The ending of course was controversial but I still greatly enjoyed. Some people are saying it seemed unrealistic, but if you take a closer look at it, nothing was for certain. It was still left up to the viewers on if they got back together or not. Yes, he went to meet his ex-wife and it ends off there. They have options of "dating" again or even remarrying, but we aren't for sure. Yes, both leads still love each other, but it is always easier to forgive than to forget, especially for something like an affair. What both characters will never get back was how their lives were before and that will always be their struggle and the two of them will always have this burden.
