The World of the Married is a train-wreck that you can't look away from. A show all about how society views women in all aspects, especially divorced women, and how far a woman will go to protect her life, family, and pride. How much does one have to give until they are fully loved? Some men cheat and once a cheater, always a cheater.

A lot of characters in this show are not likable at all. The only person I found rooting for was Ji Sun Woo, who is played by the incredible Kim Hee Ae. She does a fantastic job of portraying all the emotions of a woman who had been betrayed. She gave her life, money, and love to a man who discarded her and she will do anything to keep his choices from ruining her and her son's life. I only found myself drawn to 2 other characters: Go Ye Rim and Min Hyun So. I felt that they were some of the most real characters in an ocean of sharks that are out to backstab, lie, and do anything to ruin each other.

Most of the episodes and most of the plot will have your blood-boiling and screaming at most of the characters. They are selfish, fake, and will do anything for themselves which kept most of my interest. They will do anything to get ahead of you, even if that means tearing you down while you're already at your worst. Set in a town where everyone knows everyone, it's easy for your business to spread like wildfire amongst the high class.

The one complaint I did have with the show is I felt a lot of the moments drug on a little too long for the effect or just to fill in the space of the episode and I found myself skipping a lot to get to the dialogue. Towards the middle of the show, it gets a little predictable and towards the end I felt that it had went on too far. The whole last episode was making up for time missed and you get the actual plot for not even the last half.

It's dramatic and nobody comes out unharmed in any way. They all hurt each other in wild ways all while calling each other "friends."
