This Week, My Wife Will Have an Affair: Episode 12 (Final)

by chocolatte

From the beginning, This Week, My Wife Will Have an Affair has boasted a winning combination of dark humor, appealing but flawed characters, and a healthy dose of realism that’s made this show immensely watchable despite its less than savory premise of adultery. Luckily for all of us TOYCRANE fans, the show remains true khổng lồ its roots until the very kết thúc — và though I’m sad lớn say goodbye, I’m so glad that we get khổng lồ send our characters off into their new lives in the same heartfelt way that we were introduced khổng lồ them.

FINAL EPISODE RECAP

We see Soo-yeon & Hyun-woo settle into life after divorce. While Soo-yeon’s busy unpacking & taking care of Joon-soo, Hyun-woo reels at the sight of anything in his house that reminds him of his separated family.

After reading through the responses lớn her husband’s last post on the stocks forum, Soo-yeon writes her own post, introducing herself as TOYCRANE’s cheating wife. She writes that she wants to cốt truyện her side of the story và asks the internet community to blame her for their failed marriage, rather than her husband.

She says their story was typical at first: They dated, got married, và completed their little family with Joon-soo. Soo-yeon talks about the difficult decision of going back khổng lồ work when Joon-soo was only a baby, saying that she didn’t want her career to end after having a child.

She recounts her struggle watching Joon-soo turn into a loner (very much lượt thích her), but adds that she didn’t have the bandwidth to deal with it. Although she tried hard khổng lồ be a good mother and a good employee, she writes, she failed on both counts.

She goes on to địa chỉ cửa hàng that her belated efforts to lớn help Joon-soo fit in better at school mainly involved sucking up lớn the other moms, but it wasn’t an easy task. When she finally got the invite to lớn the moms-only chat group, she says it felt lượt thích it was finally okay not to lớn feel guilty.

By then, her every waking moment had been consumed with work, Joon-soo, & making sure she wouldn’t get kicked out of her mom group. She didn’t have a spare moment to herself, but she says she thought it was all okay — at least, until that fateful day she met with her soon-to-be lover, Sun-woo.

That day, Sun-woo had been two hours late to lớn their scheduled meeting. She calls those two hours a “gift,” during which she almost finished reading an entire novel, và she says that’s when she realized she was living her life without even having two hours lớn spare for herself.

When she was with Sun-woo, she says she stopped thinking about her family, her work, và her responsibilities. She writes that she felt lượt thích a kid chasing after a balloon, and if her husband hadn’t discovered her at the hotel, she’d still be out wandering.

She says her relationship with Sun-woo had its ending written before it began, then affirms the rest of Hyun-woo’s posts: she was the first to suggest divorce, the first lớn give up on the relationship. She notes that Hyun-woo didn’t give up until the very end, và she, in contrast, remained a selfish wife.

Soo-yeon adds that surprisingly, life hasn’t changed much after the divorce. We see that Hyun-woo seems be adjusting okay as well, as he stops by a claw machine on his way home. & at the elevator in his building, his stuffed trophies in hand, he meets a pretty neighbor clutching her own claw machine prizes.

Soo-yeon finishes up her post by taking responsibility for all that’s happened. She asks the commenters lớn encourage Hyun-woo rather than tear him down.

Just as she’s typed her last words, the doorbell rings — it’s Hyun-woo, returning Joon-soo from a day of fun. Hyun-woo fixes a flickering light in the entryway for Soo-yeon before he goes, & Soo-yeon packs up side dishes for him lớn take home. All the while, the two talk comfortably, lượt thích good friends.

Yoon-ki’s sales clerk ex receives visitors on her wedding day, looking radiant — that is, until she sees Ara walk in. Ara congratulates the young woman, who’s now cowering in fear, and throws her arm around her for the commemorative photo. Before she leaves, Ara whispers something in the bride’s ear that causes her khổng lồ break down in tears of despair.

Meanwhile, Yoon-ki has phối up siêu thị in the dusty basement of a worn building that attracts zero clients, và he looks as disheveled as his new office. He gets chewed out by his landlord for not being able lớn pay his rent, while the neighborhood ajummas gossip behind his back about how he’s a “garbage” lawyer. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Yoon-ki’s home life isn’t much better, as he now lives in a tiny ramshackle house with his Okinawa mistress. They start arguing the moment he walks in — she’s convinced that he’s still cheating, while he complains about her shopping habits. But really, their fight is about being unhappy with their new, poorer reality, & their night ends with a yelling match.

Hyun-woo can’t pass up a claw machine on his way home after noticing that all the toys are perfectly piled up on one side. Just as he slips a bill into the machine, someone calls out that the machine’s hers — and what do you know, it’s the woman he saw in his building earlier.

She pushes Hyun-woo out of the way khổng lồ play her game, but her prize gets stuck right at the opening of the drop box. She’s not going trang chủ empty-handed though, so she puts her arm inside the machine và asks Hyun-woo khổng lồ pull her other arm, successfully getting the doll out.

Hyun-woo trails after the woman as they walk into the lobby of their building. She recognizes him as a neighbor, then offers Hyun-woo the prize she nabbed on Hyun-woo’s dime. When she tells him she has one just lượt thích it at home, he confesses that he does too, heh.

Hyun-woo’s all smiles as he enters his place, but jumps when he finds Joon-young sitting in his living room, looking like death. Hyun-woo asks if Joon-young still hasn’t heard from Bo-young, then complains that he’d like to know what’s going on with the two of them.

In a flashback, we see that Bo-young had told Hyun-woo that she’s taking a break from work. She asked that he refrain from asking questions, then added that it’s possible she might not come back after her break. Oh no, did she just disappear?

Soo-yeon’s hanging out with her friend when she gets a call from Hyun-woo to ask her what kind of detergent he should buy. Soo-yeon’s friend amusedly remarks that it seems lượt thích Soo-yeon and Hyun-woo are still married, & wonders if they’ll get back together. Soo-yeon smiles at that, but says they won’t.

At the store, Hyun-woo finds the right kind of detergent, but is annoyed to find that it comes in a pack of two. He’s in the middle of trying khổng lồ get one out of the pack when he notices someone doing the same next to lớn him: his fellow claw machine fan and neighbor.

The two over up splitting some bulk items back at their apartment complex, where they each establish that they’re divorced & living alone. Changing the subject, the woman asks if Hyun-woo’s seen the claw machine with frying pans inside — she needs one, but she’d rather win one than buy one.

Yoon-ki tearfully looks at photos of Ara living it up on his social truyền thông media feed, then heads off khổng lồ his new side job as a chauffeur. After his shift ends, he tucks the money he earned in his sock before heading home.

But when he opens the door lớn his place, it’s empty, with no signs of his Okinawa mistress. It looks lượt thích she took all their stuff và left town with the security deposit, và doesn’t answer when Yoon-ki calls her.

With nowhere else to lớn go, he heads to lớn his office with a lone bag of his possessions. His key doesn’t work, though — the landlord there has since changed the locks, citing Yoon-ki’s failure to lớn pay rent.

Joon-young walks down a dusty road, thinking back to lớn a conversation he had with Bo-young: she’d asked him to stop cornering her about the baby, telling him that she might run away otherwise. Joon-young comes khổng lồ a stop when he sees a familiar figure on the immediate road below — it’s Bo-young. Yay, he found her.

She tells him that it’s good that he came by — she was planning khổng lồ go back to lớn Seoul anyway, but only to clean out her place. He tells Bo-young to lớn return khổng lồ work, promising lớn keep his distance và not get involved if that’s what she wants. She doesn’t answer, instead patting her belly và affectionately calling her baby “dog poop.”

That doesn’t sit well with Joon-young at all, and it takes all of five minutes for him to forget his promise and start nagging her about the baby’s nickname. Bo-young innocently tells him the baby looked lượt thích “pretty dog poop” in the ultrasound picture, which gets Joon-young adorably excited. She shows him the photo, and his smile can’t get any bigger as he says their baby looks more lượt thích a peanut.

Hyun-woo runs into his divorced neighbor again, this time outside of a coffee shop. The two over up bonding over their claw machine experiences as they make their way over to the machine with the household appliances.

They return to their apartment complex after successfully winning a pan. As they wait for the elevator, the neighbor abruptly asks Hyun-woo if he wants to lớn date her, causing him to spit out his coffee. Laughing, she explains that the worst thing about being divorced is eating alone, & says that this was her way of asking him lớn eat with her. Looking flattered, Hyun-woo suggests dinner.

Joon-young and Bo-young arrive at her house, which looks spotless. & that, we find out, is because Joon-young had cleaned every inch of it, not wanting Bo-young or the baby khổng lồ spend time in a dusty apartment.

When Bo-young thanks him for his support, he asks if she’ll return lớn work. She starts khổng lồ say she’s not sure, but stops in mid-sentence after seeing a photo of Joon-young propped up on her table. He tells her the photo is for their baby, and asks her not khổng lồ remove it.

Once Joon-young leaves, Bo-young sees another picture of him tacked up on a nearby wall, then one on the ceiling above her bed. Upon closer inspection, she finds more photos tucked in random places throughout the apartment, including on the inside cover of the toilet seat, heh.

Hyun-woo walks into work humming under his breath, và Joon-young correctly guesses that he must be dating. Hyun-woo tries lớn be coy about it before quickly telling his hoobae all about the neighbor, marveling at how surprising it is that he’s gotten friendly with a complete stranger.

Joon-young says he has even more surprising news: Bo-young’s pregnant. Hyun-woo’s jaw drops, but Joon-young doesn’t even give him a chance khổng lồ process the information before adding that the baby’s his. He then saunters out of the office, leaving Hyun-woo lớn stare after him in shock.

Soo-yeon shops for groceries, buying enough food for three people. Meanwhile, Hyun-woo enjoys dinner with his neighbor, then the two stop for a beer. The neighbor tells Hyun-woo that she doesn’t have many friends & calls Hyun-woo her closest friend in the neighborhood. She asks if they should go on a real date, causing Hyun-woo to do another spit take.

Homeless Yoon-ki spends the night at the airport & falls asleep while holding onto his bag, but even that gets stolen from him.

It’s Bo-young’s first day back at work, & though Joon-young gives her a longing look, he keeps their conversation strictly about work.

The team goes out lớn lunch khổng lồ celebrate Bo-young’s return, and her colleagues try khổng lồ get Bo-young khổng lồ drink. Rather than make excuses, Bo-young just comes out with the news that she’s pregnant. She quickly lays out the ground rules for her pregnancy in her typical no nonsense way: no alcohol or other unhealthy foods, no late nights at work, & no team lunches.

Her foul-mouthed colleague raises the question everyone’s afraid lớn ask: Who’s the father? Bo-young gives Joon-young the briefest of glances before telling everyone not khổng lồ even ask, because they’ll never find out.

Yoon-ki hides behind a wheelbarrow outside of Ara’s house as a oto pulls in, & sees Ara get out with a handsome Frenchman. (You go, girl!) The two say their goodbyes as if they’re starring in their own movie, complete with declarations of love & a Hollywood-style kiss while Yoon-ki watches in horror.

Once Ara goes inside, Yoon-ki aggressively confronts the man, telling him that he’s Ara’s husband. But Yoon-ki’s no match for Ara’s new man, who gets Yoon-ki to lớn back down with a simple twist of his arm.

Hyun-woo spends more time with his neighbor, going grocery shopping & even visiting a claw machine together with her. As they head up khổng lồ their respective apartments, the neighbor asks Hyun-woo to lớn wait in the elevator, then returns with a bag of side dishes for him.

It’s another day at work where Joon-young can’t keep his eyes off Bo-young — but today, he tells her that she looks best while she’s working here. Then he walks into the CEO’s office, looking like he has something important lớn say.

TOYCRANE fan hâm mộ Grandma fries up some pancakes, while Ajumma wonders if it’s a special day. Grandma informs her that it’s the anniversary of their husband’s death và asks her to help with the cooking. But Ajumma airily says the best gift lớn her husband on this day would simply be for her to lớn visit his gravesite, earning herself a glare from Grandma.

As they leave for the cemetery, Grandma brings along a big shovel — she says it’s to lớn bury Ajumma with their husband, since he liked her so much. Ajumma laughs at what she assumes is a joke, but her smile fades at Grandma’s serious face. Hee.

We next kiểm tra in with several other TOYCRANE fans, who all receive a new alert on their phones và read it curiously.

Soo-yeon is up for a big promotion at work, và during her meeting with the (male) bosses, one asks what her husband does for a living. She’s startled, but she honestly tells them that while she may be divorced & with a kid, she’s done a good job at work, so she asks that the decision be made on the merits of her job performance.

Alas, when the promotion decisions are announced, Soo-yeon’s name is sadly not on the list. She puts on a brave face for her colleagues, then calls Hyun-woo to lớn ask him out to coffee, telling him the bad news. Hyun-woo tells her he has dinner plans, so Soo-yeon hangs up, looking disappointed.

A colleague runs up khổng lồ Bo-young with the news that Joon-young has resigned. Bo-young can’t hide her distress at this development, then all of a sudden, she doubles over in pain, grabbing her stomach. She tries calling Joon-young but he doesn’t answer, since he’s busy packing his bags.

Over lunch, Yoon-ki sheds tears over Ara và her new man. Yeah, I’m not feeling too sorry for you right now.

On her way home, Soo-yeon’s busy chatting on the phone when she suddenly shops short, having spotted Hyun-woo & his neighbor together. Hyun-woo looks up và sees Soo-yeon too, & the two just look at each other for a moment, both caught off guard.

Soo-yeon meets Hyun-woo back at his apartment, where she immediately starts tidying up. When she opens his refrigerator, she spots the side dishes that aren’t her own, and takes this as a sign khổng lồ leave. Outside his apartment, she takes a moment to gather her thoughts, & Hyun-woo watches her leave from his window.

At her place, Bo-young finds yet another photo of Joon-young và wonders out loud lớn her baby, “What should Mom do?” When she gets up, she’s hit with another sharp pain that sends her collapsing khổng lồ the floor. Seriously, why aren’t you at the hospital by now?

She grabs her phone to gọi Joon-young, but he’s in the car và doesn’t answer. It doesn’t take long before Joon-young turns the car around, but it looks like Bo-young’s already passed out from the pain.

Yoon-ki hops the gate khổng lồ his old house and is incensed lớn find Ara & her boyfriend headed up inside. He rushes to Ara & apologizes, telling her that he’ll never cheat again, và that he wants lớn start over. Haltingly, he tells her that he loves her.

But Ara treats him like a stranger, & tells him that she’ll give him one minute lớn get out of her house. He shouts after her that he won’t leave và just wait for her. After a beat, a shot rings out, & a bullet just misses Yoon-ki’s foot.

From her balcony, Ara points a shotgun at her ex và tells him lớn leave before she counts lớn three. She’s not kidding around — Yoon-ki’s barely over the gate when she shoots at him, missing once, but making contact with her second shot.

For his part, Yoon-ki limps away from Ara’s property holding his hip where he’s been hit before promptly passing out.

Meanwhile, Joon-young rushes khổng lồ the hospital in a panic, an unconscious Bo-young on his back.

Aw, all of our favorite TOYCRANE fans, including the hacker couple and the CEO, are gathered for an in-person meetup. The tin tặc husband kicks things off by introducing himself và sharing his username, và they each go around, laughing and chatting while they get to lớn know one another.

Hyun-woo sits in his dark apartment, thinking about his conversation with his neighbor on their date. She said that she got divorced because she couldn’t forget the past, but she added that now, it doesn’t matter whether or not she’s actually forgotten her husband, because she’s moved on. Pointing her finger forward, she’d told Hyun-woo to lớn look straight ahead before asking him if he’d consider dating her for real.

The conversation seems to spur something in Hyun-woo và he calls Soo-yeon, only to lớn lamely ask after her và Joon-soo. Soo-yeon cuts right khổng lồ the chase & tells him that he has no reason to lớn feel sorry toward her; she wants them both to stop feeling sorry toward each other, and move on to happier things.

Joon-soo walks out khổng lồ tell Soo-yeon that the bathroom light is out. He wants to hotline dad lớn fix it, but Soo-yeon tells him that she’ll vì it from now on.

After hanging up with Soo-yeon, Hyun-woo starts emptying out his closet lượt thích a madman, then posts on the forums asking for advice on an outfit for an “important meeting” the next day. His post comes right in the middle of the TOYCRANE fan meetup, & the commenters excitedly consult each other before providing Hyun-woo with feedback.

At the hospital, Joon-young looks worried as he talks with Bo-young’s doctor. When he returns to Bo-young’s bedside, he tells the tearful Bo-young that the baby’s okay, thank goodness. She wonders what happened lớn her then, & Joon-young gravely says that her pain was from… constipation. HAHAHA. Bo-young turns away in mortification while Joon-young makes sure khổng lồ repeat the diagnosis extra slowly for her benefit. I’m dying.

The next day, Yoon-ki climbs over Ara’s gate again, clutching his injured hip and loudly proclaiming that he can’t live without her. He doesn’t get far before he’s smacked on the head by a flying brick, then collapses lớn the ground.

As Joon-young drives Bo-young home, he tells her that he wants lớn be involved in raising the baby, even if she doesn’t want to be with him. Bo-young just says he shouldn’t have resigned from work, but he says he couldn’t bear for her lớn leave the job she loved because of him. When she asks if he really doesn’t have feelings for her, Joon-young hesitates, but says he doesn’t. At that, she asks for his help in moving her things out of her apartment.

The next day, Joon-young helps Bo-young get all packed up and asks her where they’re headed. She replies that she’ll show him the way, only lớn lead them directly lớn Joon-young’s place.

Joon-young can’t believe it when Bo-young tells him she plans khổng lồ live with him from now on, but he’s clearly giddy at this turn of events. He pretends that he hadn’t been planning for a life with her and the baby at all, but when Bo-young opens the door khổng lồ his spare room, she finds a nursery inside, fully stocked.

Bo-young drops the news that they’re expecting a girl, causing Joon-young to freak out with excitement, & he rambles about the things he’s dreamed of doing with his daughter. Aww.

They get serious for a moment when Joon-young asks Bo-young for one thing: not to hide or run away from him again. When she promises she won’t, he immediately tests her resolve by planting a kiss on her. Her eyes widen in shock, then close for a moment — but then she kicks his shin & pulls away huffily. Oh, Bo-young.

Hyun-woo rushes khổng lồ his important meeting while his neighbor waits expectantly at a restaurant. He narrates that he couldn’t leave his wife because he was scared to lớn forget her, và because he was scared of being forgotten. He says that when he did over up leaving her, he was always looking back. “Now,” he says, “I have courage lớn leave her there. I’m not going lớn care about her.”

His neighbor lights up when she sees her guest arrive — it’s her daughter, who she greets happily.

Meanwhile, Soo-yeon sees Joon-soo off to lớn school. Joon-soo gets on the bus and waves goodbye lớn Soo-yeon, then turns the opposite way khổng lồ look out the window. Before the bus pulls away, he waves lớn someone.

That someone is Hyun-woo — he’s across the street, winded from sprinting khổng lồ the bus stop. When Soo-yeon finally sees him, she freezes in shock.

In voiceover, Hyun-woo says that the most important thing in his life now is the Soo-yeon that’s standing in front of him, và adds that he hopes she can leave the “old” Hyun-woo in the past too.

As they smile at one another, Hyun-woo narrates, “This week, our new story begins.” He runs across the street lớn his wife, and the two walk off together, into their future.

COMMENTS

The biggest question I had as we neared the finale was whether or not Hyun-woo and Soo-yeon’s relationship would survive — even after they actually ended up going through with their divorce, it wasn’t crystal clear to lớn me that they’d really over up separated. This episode did a great job of conveying the enduring connection between our lead couple, even post-divorce, và how the divorce itself almost seemed lớn lighten the burdens of their relationship — enough that they were on better terms than ever after they officially parted ways.

It could have gone either way — they could have moved on, but remained friendly partners in raising Joon-soo, or they could have realized through their post-divorce interactions that in the end, they wanted lớn try again. Personally, I’m glad it’s the latter, và I appreciate that the reconciliation happened after Hyun-woo had an opportunity khổng lồ see what life could have been lượt thích as a newly single man. Though Hyun-woo’s potential love interest turned out to lớn be more of a plot device for Hyun-woo’s final realization, I found his decision lớn consciously leave the old Soo-yeon in the past & look to the future with the Soo-yeon in front of him pretty moving.

I think we can all agree that Soo-yeon as a character was probably the weak links in this main story, as she was never fully fleshed out. Even in the end, when we did get a little bit of insight into her experiences that led her khổng lồ this point, she remained just as frustrating & enigmatic as she was in the beginning (or if we’re being generous, maybe just a little less so). But I think this was done on purpose, as This Week was, through và through, Hyun-woo’s story: a story about his growth as a husband and father, và as a human being searching for understanding and comfort over the internet.

His story wouldn’t have been possible or made complete without our beloved TOYCRANE tín đồ community, who illustrated in multiple ways how individuals long for human connection, even if those connections are created online. I loved that the show gave proper closure to most of our fans through their in-person meetup (how awesome was it to lớn see all of them together?) but it was even better lớn see that TOYCRANE’s story actually ended up spurring these commenters to make changes in their own lives, whether it was lớn decide against divorce, or lớn come out of one’s shell & live life a little more bravely. They showed us that connections forged online can actually become something real và more meaningful in our offscreen lives, if we let it.

As for the rest of our couples, their stories ended pretty much how we thought they’d end: Yoon-ki and Ara’s relationship went out with gunshots and blood, while Joon-young và Bo-young win the most adorable couple award. The latter couple was my favorite, and I have to admit I was hoping we’d get a little more affection from Bo-young towards Joon-young (or at least a better kiss!) in this episode. But Bo-young was who she is until the end, and Joon-young’s enthusiasm will have lớn cover them both — at least until he manages to lớn wear her down on that front, too. They were often times the funniest part of the show, and I’m so glad we got to lớn spend the time we did with our writer/PD couple.

Overall, I’m fully satisfied with the story this show told from beginning to end — & that’s not something that I say often about K-dramas. Thanks khổng lồ Candid
Clown và all of our commenters who created our own little online community — I really appreciated hearing the various perspectives folks brought to lớn the table, especially those who shared their personal stories & experiences. The value of a kind & understanding online community has never been more apparent as it has been throughout this particular show, và it made me thankful lớn be a small part of it. Until next time, everyone!

Do Hyun Woo (Lee Sun Kyun) is a television producer who has been married to lớn his wife, Jung Soo Yeon (Song Ji Hyo), for seven years. Despite believing that his marriage was impenetrable, he discovers that his wife may be on the verge of having an affair.

At first, he turns khổng lồ his friends, Lawyer Choi Yoon Gi (Kim Hee Won) & Ahn Joon Young (Lee quý phái Yeob) for advice as they are both married. However, Yoon Gi is a serial cheater & savvy at finding ways from his wife, Eun Ah Ra (Ye Ji Won), from finding out. Joon Young is also unhelpful as he always believed that Soo Yeon & Hyun were the picture perfect couple and the news of the infidelity takes an emotional toll on him. & yet, Joon Young’s own life is full of mystery as he uses work as an excuse khổng lồ get closer khổng lồ a fellow colleague at work, the production crew’s main writer & divorcee, Kwon Bo Young (Bo
A).

To make matters worse, vì Hyun’s company is interested in making a new program all about wives who cheat on their husbands. At a loss about what to lớn do, he turns to people on the internet for their perspective on the matter.

Cheating is apparently a popular topic in K-Dramaland these days. It used khổng lồ always be regarded as a bad thing. The characters who did the cheating was often depicted as selfish, untrustworthy & unforgivable. However, these days, I’m liking the new approach khổng lồ the subject matter. It’s not that I condone cheating but the subject matter always seem one-sided và especially with it being the focus in this drama and On the Way lớn the Airport, the fact that these characters cheat doesn’t necessarily make them antagonists in the story.

Upon hearing the premise for the drama, I knew that there would be two key things that would determine the pacing of the drama. First, when would Hyun Woo discover that his wife might be cheating on him? How much of the drama would be made up of Hyun Woo agonizing over what lớn do và allow his imagination lớn get the best of him? Hyun Woo does find out about the looming affair pretty quickly and Lee Sun Kyun is really good at playing up the paranoia as it’s a bit comical to lớn see him keep a watchful eye over his wife for any changes in her behavior or the way she dresses. At the same time, I think song Ji Hyo does a great job in having Soo Yeon go about her day as usual. She doesn’t outwardly show hints that she’s having an affair nor does she even show any dissatisfaction over her marriage. It’s a very realistic interpretation of a couple who may be dealing with infidelity for the first time.

The other key thing khổng lồ the drama is the revelations of two things: Hyun Woo confirming his suspicions about his wife & Soo Yeon learning that Hyun Woo knows about her affair. Once those secrets are out, it’s usually when the couple has khổng lồ determine what to vì chưng about their marriage. I was a little surprised by how early this happens in the drama and feared that the drama would get stale. After all, who would want lớn watch a couple bickering back và forth about infidelity for the whole length of the drama? & yet, the drama makes it work through the fact that Hyun Woo discusses his marriage problems online và we discover what Soo Yeon’s motives are.

Park Won – 이럴거면 헤어지지 말았어야지 (If We Were Gonna Be lượt thích This, We Shouldn’t Have Broken Up)

박원 – 이럴거면 헤어지지 말았어야지

As the main couple, I think if we were going lớn be sympathetic to lớn Hyun Woo, it was only fair that the drama tried to make us understand what Soo Yeon is going through. It’s important to note that the drama doesn’t really humanize Soo Yeon as a character và a flawed character at that until we’re about halfway through the drama. At the beginning of the drama, she’s seen as this supermom who seems happy to bởi vì it all. First, I do lượt thích that her mother-in-law, Hyun Woo’s mother, doesn’t condemn her. Despite Soo Yeon’s regret, it was refreshing to lớn hear their conversation from a woman’s perspective about how hard it can be to lớn be a working mom. The drama certainly doesn’t excuse her behavior but it’s not a point of view that we hear all that often. I also think by getting to know Soo Yeon’s reasons Hyun Woo goes on his own path of self-discovery about his contributions to lớn the marriage.

It was also interesting how the drama humanized the netizens in the drama. Each came with their own baggage, some who have their personal experience with heartbreak và betrayal and it factored into the type that they offered. I think I was taken by two particular stories, that of the middle-aged woman living with old lady and the man, woman & child who each offered their own point-of-view but turned lớn from the same household. The twist in each of their stories is worth waiting for.

As for the other couples in the drama, it was pretty comical lớn watch Kim Hee Won & Ye Ji Won battle it out lượt thích a cat & mouse. Even though he’s comical, Kim Hee Won is especially despicable in this role. Can I help but admire him for taking on this role & playing it so well but hate him at the same time for it? Yoon Gi is so knowledgeable about cheating và he conceals và juggles his various trysts with such glee that I can’t help but love khổng lồ hate him. At the same time, Ye Ji Won is excellent at playing coy while knowing exactly what her husband’s been up to. It’s worth the wait to lớn see just exactly how their story turns out as it is especially satisfying.

As for Lee quý phái Yeob and Bo
A, they are basically the typical romcom couple who bicker in front of everyone else but actually have feelings for each other. I think what I most surprised about was Lee sang trọng Yeob ability to lớn be so funny. He’s hilarious as the bumbling Joon Young whether he’s acting opposite Lee Sun Kyun or Bo
A.

Urban Zakapa – 그런 밤 (That Night)

어반 자카파(Urban Zakapa) – 그런 밤

I think what I found refreshing about this drama was the approach of the different perspectives. Despite the different perspectives, each of the characters had khổng lồ make a decision about whether to kết thúc their relationship or try to make things work. Whereas it was clear that one couple was headed for a divorce, I liked that another couple found reasons khổng lồ be with each other. & for Hyun Woo và Soo Yeon, they really had to lớn re-evaluate their relationship & learn not take each other for granted.
