Ji sunwoo deserved a lot lot better and so did dakyung.

Lee taeoh is probably the most irritating character in the story. He never says he is wrong from the bottom of his heart and is clinging to joonyoung like he didn't hit him. I hate him. ji sunwoo deserved a better guy from the beginning. She is an icon but she is too unstable and needs help but she never asks. on the other hand jekyung is a good guy but he became an asshole too in the end. Yerim was the only likeable character and she is so real I love her. the plot wise everything was good and nothing has been stretched and it was for the best that it ended that way

WAIT A MINUTE! WOW!

I just finished watching episode 1, and I literally have one word for it ----> WOW! If you are interested in watching an action full melodrama full of twist and turns from beginning to end, you should definitely watch this. After the first 40 minutes of episode 1, the story picks up rather quickly.

One of the two con that I have is the behavior of the female and male lead, son! If I were 15 and I saw my father cheat on my mother, I would try to consider and protect my mother feelings (the victim). Instead it seemed like the son was only trying to protect his father, the cheater! Something is weird about episode 6, while the acting is good, it seems as if something is missing (like things escalated quickly without giving us an explanation). I also thought that the end of episode 6 was too dramatic, and the music didn't help. Two years passed by, what did she think would happen? Duh, marriage, delivery of the baby, and stability for their new family. The end of episode 12 is not realistic because of the words, not the actions. The second con, is the lack of accountability that the second female lead had (the one who slept with a married man).

This drama could have had 13 episodes, instead of 16.

Watch this drama why...because you won't regret it

I've watched this drama since it had come out but I didn't get to do a review on it so here's my thoughts on this drama.
I was very skeptical at first to watch this drama when it had first made my presents.
Then I gave it a try because many thought it was a great series so I did too.
Turns out this is a very interesting drama to watch.Every second you watch it the more you want to know.It's a very eye opening as well.I couldn't sleep for days because all I could think about is what will happen next.
I was very annoyed at times ,and angry.This is the very first drama I've ever watched that was this intense for a very real life/world experience .Most times i wanted to punch the screen and other times I was sitting there with a grin on my face smiling.It was new and loved it.I'm sure you'll love it too if you watch it.I was very much satisfied with the ending.Overall if you're looking for a drama not like the others with a strong female lead that will do anything to get what she wants ,a male lead who is not such a gentleman as he is suppose to be then this is definitely the drama for you.No spoilers in this review but all I can say is watch this drama and if you like it then I will recommend other ones as this one.

Never believed that a show can affect my daily life negatively

I have quite the diverse taste in shows, this one was so highly recommended, but sadly, apart from the excellent acting, it was just a combination of everything I cannot sit through. I pushed through for a few episodes, wanting to see what must be the reason behind so many people liking it. None for me.

All I got from this show was a spike in anxiety and negativity in my own life, thanks to the irritating, constant suspense music, the unrealistic bouquet of back-to-back moments of injustice and 0, absolutely 0 (at least semi-)adequate communication from (again) at least one or two characters in the whole show.

I wouldn't mind watching a story that is more of a psychological thriller, but the world-building simply isn't believable if it's not balanced out with some humane, lighter sides of the characters. A world with such an unhealthy communication amongst ALL 15 or more characters simply seems impossible to exist to this extent. For this reason it felt more fantasy-like than Star Wars. And on top of that, the low vibes of it, slithered into my daily life.

Dropping it gladly.

I absolutely cannot get why this drama is so popular. No doubt the acting was superb but the story was meh. Him cheating was a given. First 3 episodes was okay. But after that is just unbearable. Each scene was filled with tension. But nothing ever released that tension. Every scene sustained that tension then it became suffocating and unbearable to watch. The tension kept rising and rising that at some point it "flatlined" itself to death. The dinner scene was too much for me. Episode 6 was enough of an ending for me. I do not care for what happens next.

I think makers of this drama should have made Original Doctor foster
It is a remake but is 100 times better than original series. I can't comment on story because original story is taken out of Doctor Foster english series and have had 2 remakes one is Indian and nother is this one and all three of them are highly successfull.
Lead actress has potrayed the characyter so well. Throughout the drama you ll at first love her for the brave choices she made but later on you will get dissapointed in her because she can't let go off the last bit of feelings she has for her ex husband. But that's what life is nobody is perfect.
This drama even though adultary and married life is involved is really never about them but in actual it's an intense thriller. I wont be shocked if this drama soon replace SKY castle fromm its highest rating position.

What a wonderful plot!!! So intense... so cruel... so real!!!
That’s not just fantasy...That’s real life!
Abusive relationships... mad love... selfish actions... revenge... so many elements, bad or good, from those who ever proved that crazy feeling... LOVE
Unfortunately, I met a lot of families that lived the same. The little line between love and hate... that express the feeling that make us blind, crazy and selfish. Love, for sure.
The love that never fade away ...
Well... I can’t give spoilers but this show, for sure, deserves all glory and attention!
What a wonderful cast! Hands down

I know the series is not yet in the finale, but just wanting to share my comments so far.
I sentence can describe this series: Everyone is crazy!!! The husband is crazy like is he even a human being? WOW!! Every episode will make your blood boils!!! I hate every single character!!! So far, the most hated for me is the husband and the so-called best friend of the first legal wife!!! B*ch!!! Sorry for my language!!!


So far, this is all I can review for at least 7 episodes.
If I can edit this review, I can comment on my insights for the whole series.
I get it why even RM can't finish this series.

a captivating watch!

When I first heard about this show, I immediately thought it wasn't it for me. This was because I'm not a fan of melodrama or shows revolving around infidelity + I wasn't familiar with the cast. However, as the show progressed and received very high ratings, I couldn't help but feel the need to start it. After just one episode, I was completely hooked. Despite feeling my blood boil, I couldn't help but crave for more. The World Of Married is very carefully written and is a complete masterpiece. It shows the dark side of reality and holds very flawed characters. These last 8 episodes have held more substance than 95% of full-length asian dramas I have seen. Each episode is a rollercoaster of emotions and will leave you thinking. No show has ever messed with my emotions in this manner! I am in absolute awe of how the writers managed to execute this show. I am writing this review at the show's half-point of airing, and to be honest, I really have no idea what these next 8 episodes are about to hold...

All the characters in the drama are very raw, and really show how humans may behave when driven by anger and revenge. It really made me realize how people with the most seemingly perfect lives can become insane in a matter of seconds. The show also made me think about real life and wonder how traumatic cheating can be for some women and children. The writers of this show really managed to create a very thought-provoking drama!

Overall, I would recommend this if you are a fan of psychological mature shows. It is a heavy watch, and I think you need to be in the right mood to enjoy it. Some people were left too enraged and ended up dropping it, so be cautious of that!

3 episodes. Only 3 episodes. It took only 3 episodes for me to rate and review this drama. No wonder its currently on the top spot in South Korea. This is a mature drama for a mature audience and mature audience only. This not for those looking for a handsome oppa or looking for a latest crash. This is a drama addressing real life issues and challenges in matrimony. This drama focuses on infidelity and divorce and these are very deep and heavy subjects.
If you want a wake up call and face reality away from all the drool and ogling then this the drama to watch. If you are looking for eye candy i suggest you look for Lee Min Ho 's current drama. I bet there is a lot of eye candy there.
So if you are into mature real life drama then grab a box of tissues and a tub of ice cream. I think my heart stopped numerous times watching just these 3 episodes and i know there is more heartbreak in store for me.
I will be updating this post as my binge watch progresses. I will not start a new review all together.
Enjoy...oops better i say watch your heart and remember to pick up your jaw from the ground. These 3 episodes had my jaw locked in open position.

This drama is so damn good!!! Affairs is common in kdrama land but this drama add an interesting flavor in story and every episode is such a bomb ?? only six episodes are finished so far but it like it's already ending. Not a typical cheating story, the writers are freaking good.
I like everything about this drama, their camera angle, cinematography, edting skills, acting etc. are all perfect. This deserved many awards in the future especially Kim hee ae, she always amazing in every drama!!!

a gripping and chaotic story.

watched this with mom and she's so picky, but she was hooked! and honestly me too.

While I was a bit hesitant in the beginning, I was receiving a couple of confusing vibes from it, it felt like it was going in circles longer than it was necessary, but then started progressing in an interesting and well structured pace so while I kept watching and enjoying it more and more, then I found myself loving the dialogues and how well and intricate the scenes looked and felt as a whole, everything was calculated and had a purpose, so it was an effective development between the story and the characters.

The themes were very interesting and while some people may find it a bit niche in the end I think it leaves a mark, in the way relationships and break ups can have a huge impact and it's like a butterfly effect, and when there are kids and a family in the middle of a transitional period it can be very tricky to manage, revenge, power, egos, trust and personal habits can get in the way, and if those involved get blindsided... things can quickly go wrong and turn dangerous, it made me think about how important is to choose our families and our close community who are meant to be a support, it was complex and it was showcased in a very interesting and nuanced way, I really liked it.

Cinematography, music, and acting were truly so good, from the colorful sceneries to the rough winter scenes, the styling and settings, the beautiful somber music and everyone who worked hard to convey their characters, bravo.

It all came together and while this may not be a story for everyone, I found it gripping and suspenseful, i think it's worth watching and really enjoyable, I'll recommend this in the future.
