One of the most frustrating parts of the storyline was how unrealistic it was for the wife to wait 13 years to file for divorce.. He was a convicted serial rapist and murderer.. No court would have denied her divorce petition in such a case.. And she would have obviously got the child's custody as well.. This plot point was not only illogical but also stupid..
That is south korea, even speaking truth is denied to rape victims there If there were no human right They would surely sent his wife to jail with him so he can rape her for 13years That south korean law, so that is most realistic thing in the drama.
I haven't watch the 3rd and 4th eps yet, but I think it focus more on ML bcs he's the one who will become "the…
To me Ml look more like a creepy stalker After watching until ep 4 then a hero He hasn't talk to FL still asses ep 4 , never seen a hero this Coward. He believes she is witch and he would die if he get near her, I don't find anything heroic about him Love can never be this coward
Exactly! What’s the point of stunning visuals if the story is a mess and the direction lacks substance? A drama isn’t just about pretty shots—if viewers can’t connect with the plot or characters, no amount of cinematic flair will save it. It really does feel like the director prioritized aesthetics over actual storytelling. Like, is this a drama or a glorified wedding video montage? Priorities seem completely off.
International fans need to have so self reflection and take some media literacy classes. There's a reason Lee…
In 2016, Lee was accused of sexual assault. The case revolved around South Korea's legal definition of "lack of consent," which often requires evidence of physical resistance or incapacitation. Despite the accuser presenting evidence of bruising, Lee was cleared of all charges. He subsequently filed a counter-lawsuit for false accusation. In 2017, the accuser was found not guilty of making a false accusation, but upon appeal, she was sentenced to eight months in prison for defamation in February 2018 Accuser was found not guilty of false accusations which means rape was real but korean law is written by rapists

This is proof how evil this rapist is how korean law is favour rape culture
I see what you're saying, and I agree that portraying the stigma in its raw form is necessary to challenge it.…
I get what you’re saying! To answer your first point—I personally don’t believe in those kinds of superstitions since I’m an atheist, so things like ghosts, fate, or knocking on wood don’t align with my beliefs. But I understand that a lot of people do, and it makes sense that the character might believe it at first, which can make his eventual realization more impactful.
As for the second point about misunderstandings in K-dramas, I totally get that too. Misunderstandings are such a common trope, and sometimes it’s frustrating when characters seem oblivious to something that’s obvious to us viewers. But I guess that’s part of the drama. In this show, the misunderstanding is a lot heavier than usual, which definitely makes it hit harder when the truth finally comes out.
For your last point, I think you’re right—if the show is intentionally showing how society is using the witch accusation as an excuse, then the ML believing it at first isn’t a problem. His belief is part of the story’s purpose. His journey to realizing how wrong that thinking is can highlight the unfairness and help get that message across. In that sense, the show doesn’t need him to “prove” society wrong—the story itself is already doing that.
Dansoo is surprisingly layered for a bratty chaebol, and I confess I thought Park Sang Nam would be a bad actor but he's...good??? He's believable and commits to Dansoo 100%. As for Dansoo as a character, I delight in his floppy haired immature antics, but it's all underscored by how genuinely sweet he is and can be—how he helped Kyungsol when they were abroad and living on the streets, how he helps Gonghee by telling her mom he's a contract employee like her when really he's a full time employee (and also the owner's grandson 🙄), how he pays a year's worth of rent when he hears the Maengs are struggling financially, and how he visits his dad's grave and asks him for courage and help 'cause he's scared.
This is my personal opinion, which I have the right to. For me, Woo Jin did go through a kind of redemption. He…
I respect your opinion and appreciate you sharing your perspective. I’m just expressing my own views on this platform, exercising my right to free speech, with no intention of offending you.
Yes, I understand that Woo Jin might have taken certain actions toward redemption as you described, but from the beginning, his behavior toward elders was arrogant and disrespectful. He even pushed his biological mother and tried to strangle the second female lead (SFL). Regardless of her character’s flaws, that level of violence—especially toward women and the elderly—painted him in a really bad light. What troubled me more was how he never seemed to show true remorse for those actions, which the drama seemed to excuse because he was a wealthy CEO and a "mama’s boy."
At the end, it felt like he shifted most of the responsibility onto others. While his mother and Hye Ra played their parts, he was the one who physically pushed the FL’s father, directly causing his injuries. Instead of fully owning up to that, he placed more blame on his mother and the SFL, even though her involvement in that particular incident was minimal. His attempt to strangle her further reinforced how aggressive and selfish his character was.
From start to finish, I personally found him to be a super selfish, morally questionable character whose actions were unjustifiably forgiven—possibly just because he was the second male lead.
Finally someone listed all the things that bothered me about this drama. Thank you! I started with high hopes…
Thank you! I completely agree with you—trust in so many Kdramas is portrayed as if a handsome face is enough to forgive anything, which is so unrealistic. No sane person would trust someone who ghosted them for five years right after a kiss! From a woman’s point of view, that’s a huge red flag. It makes the ML seem like he was just after her body, which is really disturbing when you think about it. Looks shouldn’t excuse toxic behavior, but unfortunately, some drama writers think puppy eyes can fix everything. I just couldn’t root for their relationship when the foundation was so messed up. Believability doesn’t mean things have to be realistic to real life, but basic emotional logic should still apply.
She seems pretty easy for male lead to get her kiss him.
i hear from one comment that he never even explained her anything himself. forget saying sorry as this man might die if they utter the word sorry because of there fragile EGO
While I agree with some of your points, this review screams one thing—"I want realism." I suppose you have been…
I understand where you're coming from, and I agree that dramas aren’t meant to be perfectly realistic. However, just because something is fictional doesn’t mean it’s exempt from criticism—especially when it promotes toxic behavior, like that of the male lead in this case. Media, even if fictional, can influence perceptions and normalize harmful patterns, which is why it's important to call them out.
As for plot holes and inconsistencies, you’re right that many shows have them, but as a reviewer, it's my responsibility to highlight both strengths and flaws rather than just praise dramas blindly. Constructive criticism is part of what helps the industry grow and encourages better storytelling.

If there were no human right
They would surely sent his wife to jail with him so he can rape her for 13years
That south korean law, so that is most realistic thing in the drama.

Accuser was found not guilty of false accusations which means rape was real but korean law is written by rapists
This is proof how evil this rapist is how korean law is favour rape culture

It's hard find people who appreciate a critic.
cause his evil Granny provide free money to him.

my assumption is because of those.
