entendo pq impactou tanto a Korea
Brabissimo, porém achei o final meio paia (literalmente só o final, tipo os últimos 20 min do último ep)Acredito que não assistiria de novo, até pq muito da essência desse drama esta no suspense. Principalmente em como a doutora Ji vai lidar com cada situação. Eu particularmente, só reassisto conteúdo por apego emocional, coisa que não tenho pelos personagens desse drama, até pq o intuito é deles serem bem realistas, nada muito afável. a única relação a qual me importei foi da doutora e da jovem que ajudava ela, quase que mãe e filha, mas até essa relação não foi nutrida (novamente, pq o intuito é ser mais realista e menos romantizado, como em muitos outros dramas)

Sooo I finally watched this one! Let's say that EVERYONE around me recommended it, and well, it had huge ratings!I had high expectations because of this, and overall it was an enjoyable drama. I got out of my comfort zone -as I never cared a lot about the family, romance, melodramatic content..- but this one was definitely worth it for starters.
This show really got on my nerves, I couldn't stand most of the characters (to not say any). But, I'm glad things got better by the final episodes and Sunwoo got the peace of mind she deserved (well, in the last scene literally). Also, glad that her friends got their happy endings!
I did get annoyed @ the writers because many things felt too unreal to be true. I mean, I know Korea is indeed a conservative nation but I hardly think people are THIS opposed to the idea of a couple divorcing, right? Plus, we get to see the trope of the child being forced not to see his other side of the family because their parents get divorced, which is ridiculous...
And speaking of their son (Joonyoung), I literally hated him so much. You can't be this naive, you're a grown up already! He just.. completely ignored the fact that his dad was abusive and hated his mom just 'cause she was a little overprotective. What the hell? And then.. he just changed his mind one second to another because his father hit him, then going back to his mom just like that..? Their parents were too good on him honestly. I would've lost my shit, I swear.
But again, he did have some good character development, so I'm happy with that.
I ended up pitying Tae-Oh. Which is weird because he is an awful person. I'm glad Dakyung moved on, though it doesn't seem like she actually learned anything at all, lmao. But I guess to each their own. We never got to see what happened with their baby, though. Lol.
I'm sad we didn't see Hyunseo in the last episodes, I wish she had continued her relationship with Sunwoo because they make a great team (-also, such a relief to know that her toxic ex boyfriend is rotting in hell!).
And finally, about Yoonki, I'm actually happy that he didn't end up with Sunwoo. I mean, it looks like they would be an awesome couple, but I think what Sunwoo needed the most was to love herself and not depend on other people to feel enough. Ultimately, I think that's the message the staff behind The World of the Married wanted to give: marrying isn't the only option you have in life. You don't need a person next to you to feel fulfilled. You ARE enough!
8.5/10

Amazing, so much drama...
I've been watching dramas for several years, but it's been a long time since I felt so excited watching each episode. When one ended, I couldn't wait to see the next one. Because it really is an incredible drama, with great characters that generate good and bad feelings in you equally. And if we stop to think about it, a story like this can really happen in real life, and I'm sure it has happened to many. The way the protagonist managed to manipulate his partners and do what he wanted is impressive. And the ending shows you that you can't always get what you want, and that you always pay the consequences. Although I don't want to give spoilers, there is one consequence that the protagonist never paid. Even so, I really enjoyed this drama and could definitely recommend it to everyone. You'll experience tension and drama in each episode. But if I have to say something bad, it's that there is perhaps some filler in the episodes and the secondary couple was very awkward throughout the drama. But other than that, I think it's a great drama that should be put on international platforms so that everyone can enjoy it.

The way in which this whole drama was structured is simply impeccable, all the cases were connected in some way at all times and it was extremely important to understand the end of it as unexpectedly.The big move was that during the divorce process, both had a moment when one was on top and the other was underneath, which was just when one of them was in possession of his son. And it took both of them to be down for the hell to end once and for all.
The married world has shown in different perspectives through its couples that the consequences of a divorce are the result of their own choices
PERFECT!!

The craziest thing I had ever seen at the time
I had the pleasure of watching this as it was airing, and the thrill of it all was insane. The line delivery, the things the characters said and did, many of which were extremely shocking for me at the time, I could not have predicted. This drama did so well that the lead actress won a best actress award for that year, and it also made dramas of this genre gain more popularity. If you haven't watched this yet and are lucky enough to have seen no spoilers, do watch it. Although I will say, the ending is a bit frustrating...it's somewhat of a cliffhanger.Was this review helpful to you?
Can be triggering
So I wont lie this drama had me very wound up emotionally so kudos to the director and the amazing actors.At first I cheered on our beleaguered FL, Ji Sun Woo, played by the talented Kim He Ae. Later I had misgivings because of the effect the toxic actions of this couple were having on their son.
Bad behaviour aplenty from the ML, Lee Tae Oh played by Park Hae Joon. He managed to look quite ugly and scary as befitting his anger and hatred.
It is unfortunate that often divorce can bring out the all of the unresolved character weaknesses in individuals and this is ably demonstrated by the ML. He is torn between his needs and lashes out destructively. The FL uses her intellect and resolve to counter attack and the tensions are through the roof.
Also portrayed very well is the supporting ensemble being swayed by who to support. As is often the case friends tend to pick the winning side in divorce matters and this is shown as they vacillate between the the two.
Clever editing. cliff hanger episode endings and a fairly aggressive soundtrack heighten the drama. Not one for the soft hearted.

The past weeks has been really a rollercoaster with this drama, when you think thing's can't get any worse BAM! In your face. NOW LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME CHARACTERS.
Sun Woo's Friends:
They were fake af.There's no simpler way to put it. Now, probably they thought that they were doing Sun Woo good by keeping her in the dark but in reality they just added more gas to the fire. Friendship is built on Trust, honesty & loyalty the fact that they were lacking these 3 says alot. They had no reason to keep this secret from her. Imagine you laughing and eating with people thinking all is good and well and then later find out they took you for a fool all the while, that is very hurtful.
Ye Rim finally came to her senses because the same was happening to her. Her husband treated her poorly, cheated on her countless times but she wanted to paint a perfect picture of a married couple that nothings wrong because she had no solid evidence. Little did she know no marriage is perfect.
I felt for her because she was living in hell when she decided to start afresh with her husband but when that trust is broken you will always live in fear, always think your spouse is hiding something from you. In the end she made the right decision to go separate ways. A peace of mind is significantly better than losing your mind.
Myung Sook was power hungry, nothing more nothing less.
At the end they both admitted to their mistakes and rekindled their friendship which was good.
Joon Young
A normal teenage brat if you don't look beyond his behavior. All he wanted was a normal life like the rest. He was confused and suffering bad, suffering more than his parents. If you really look at it there were no parent he could actually go to and talk. His father only cared about his ego and his MOM was blinded by betrayal seeking revenge that she couldn't see her son was suffering. His outrage was a cry for attention. In Divorce, children will always be the most affected. I pity him, however I felt at ease when he returned to his MOM in the end.
Da Kyung
A pitiful young lady that was blinded by "love".
She's pitiful but worthless at the same time. Provokeful and subconsciously destroyed a family all in the name of love. T.O had a way with words & she being a rich brat and daddy's girl always getting what she wanted thought that he genuinely loved her. Come to think of it she was delusional as well because no one in their right mind would commit infidelity breaking up a family and expect to live a happy ever after like a Disney movie. Not in this real world, consequences have to be paid. I'm not sorry for her I just pity that she allowed a good dor nothing to manipulate her.
Lee Tae oh
A narcissistic, pathetic human being. Ugh he was so horrible in many ways. A liar, a manipulator, a cheater, a murderer, a thief and a gold digger. He used his wife to the brim. He wanted to have it all, he felt that he did no wrong all he cared for was money and power. Imo he impregnated Dk so that he could sneak his way into her family's money. He was not an attentive father he never really played with his daughter and he only attended his son event when it benefited. He got what he deserved in the end. NOTHING.
There's a famous saying in my country "you never miss the water till the well runs dry" that well was his wife.
Sun Woo
A very strong, diligent and classy woman. Yes she has done things that I did not agree with, one being sleeping with her friend husband for revenge. That was really low of her IMO, you can't fight fire with fire it will only create a greater flame that's difficult to put out. She's been through hell and back with with people in her community, being laughed at, humiliated, demoted and the list goes on. Everything She broke down eventually but the good thing about it is that she did not stay down, she got up and get things done that she thought was best for her family, her son. I want to believe She liked the doctor but she was not ready to be any relationship because as she said: "I'm sick if men."
Overview
It's an exceptional well planned and written drama. The cast portrayed the characters perfectly, there were no loopholes left everything intertwined perfectly. I was not familiar with the actress Kim Hee Ae but judging by this drama I hope she win an award. Her acting was A1 she really brought Sun Woo to live.
I really enjoyed it. I rated it a solid 9 and highly recommend it.
The ost "SAD" is my favourite and it also sums up the whole drama.
Memorable quote: life can't be sweet all the time you just somehow hang in there,that's all. Then you'll find some days to be sunny. That's how time will pass.

This was a great emotional drama
This was a great emotional drama. It was a drama that I had been putting off for a long time for personal reasons. I knew it would touch on my sensitive and painful parts. I also knew it would be an emotional roller coaster, but I still don't regret watching it. I was really drawn to it. It was a very realistic, well-made, and mature drama. I loved the witty monologues, and it was a drama that would suit any couple in the world (not just Koreans). The casting, acting, and fantastic chemistry between the characters are perfect. It was a drama that included friendship, support, love, toxic love, and obsessive love. It started with love and created a seemingly perfect family but ended with hatred and divorce, parental alienation and using children as a tool and means of conflict during the divorce/marriage process, the endless love between couples, the love between parents and children, and the price of choice... It was a really great drama. 10/10Was this review helpful to you?

So overrated, I won't recommand anyone to watch it...
So it's been since its release that I've wanted to watch it yet couldn't because I couldn't find somewhere to watch it... Now I've found a site and went on it.What I can conclude is that it's really so overrated. Why ?
First episode, the story was somehow engaging yet very slow but since I've been watching series for a long time now I know that waiting until episode 2 can sometimes be worth it so I gave it a shot.
I was really disappointed throughout the whole watching down to the fifth one... FL could have gained my sympathy if she didn't went to sleep with a married man, her neighboor. I don't blame her for wanting to let herself live when she's getting cheated on by her 'husband', on the contrary ! But when you do exactly the same thing for what you blame your husband, I mean- She should have gone with someone single. Plus like I hate the neighbour and his wife since he was a douchebag to his wife, always looking down at her, ignoring her and even humiliating her in front of their friends and her was somehow shady, like she knew everything that was going on with Tae-Oh yet didn't want to tell Sun woo unless when it was at her advantage to leak the info. Yet nobody deserves that.
FL... I was rooting for her for like the two first episodes but then she started seriously getting on my nerves. She was doing too much back and forth moves in her 'revenge'. Like at some point it was just ridiculous. I get there are many things to think of and hard choices to make when you are planning to get divorced from your fake a** husband but when you act so dumb atp it's on another level. She decides something for her revenge's sake and then soon after pheww she forgets abt it more likely writers throw avenge ideas and then take them back and move on another overdramatic plot twist 'to keep us on edge'..
Then the son of the couple. He is so selfish... He knew everything yet let his mother suffer eventhough he could clearly see something was off. He could have discussed the things out eventho he is in middle school right ?
Tae Oh's friends straight to the bin. They badmouth him ? as good friends ofc (?) and like how can so many people know about him cheating and agree on keeping it a secret without actually trying to make Tae Oh come back to reason.
Also Tae Oh's mother is as twisted as her son. Not gonna spoil but bruh. Then another proof that Tae Oh is really messed up is that even on his relative's funeral, he went straight up kissing his mistress and all ?.
Shout out to the acting tho. The actors were very talented because I felt every single emotion they wanted to convey. I would even get very angry sometimes or frustratred lmao.
To conclude it could have been better with more elaboration. Also poor hyeon seo, I couldn't see how she ended up but Sun woo could have helped her way better. She started to do it then after I just felt like she was somehow using her for her own sake... I hope I just got it wrong because I really liked her.

O que dizer sobre esse drama? Tenho tanta coisa a dizer que resolvi dividir o conteúdo em partes.Primeiras impressões:
Tenho que admitir que esse drama tem justamente aquele tipo de história que já te pega no primeiro episódio, é realmente difícil dizer que vai abandonar The World of the Married no meio do caminho, porque o ritmo é daqueles viciantes que te fazem querer ir pro próximo episódio o com urgência. E apesar de ter episódios longos de 1h20min você nem percebe o tempo passar e quando se da conta já assistiu tudo num piscar de olhos.
Mas nem só de ritmo vive um drama não é mesmo? Claro que o ritmo e a vontade de querer maratonar aumenta sua empolgação e te faz gostar bastante de assistir algum drama. Não é bem mais fácil começar assistir um drama que te prende do inicio ao fim do que assistir um que não te dá preguiça de continuar ou que os episódios parecem durar uma eternidade?
Mas quando no final das contas você percebe que a história em si não valeu a pena qual desses dois pontos vão pesar mais na balança quando você vai finalmente avaliar para decidir se indica ou não? Poder ser que para você o ritmo pese mais, mas para mim a história em si acabou me decepcionando tanto que o resultado foi a adição desse drama na minha listinha negra. Mas vou explicar isso melhor nesse blog.
UMA CONVERSA SOBRE EXPECTATIVA
Vou confessar entre os milhares de dramas que li a sinopse para decidir se assistiria ou não essa não me chamou nenhum pouco a atenção, mas por algum motivo depois de ter lançado uma quantidade significativa de episódios, desconsiderei a sinopse e fui levada a assistir por causa dos pôsteres muito chamativos.
Levando em conta o contexto imaginei que seria algo na vibe de V.I.P, um drama que assisti recentemente e achei excelente.
Pra quem não entende o que quero dizer com vibe vou explicar: quando digo que um drama tem a vibe de outro não quero dizer que espero ver uma versão 2.0 de algo que assisti, ou algo tão semelhante que pareça mais do mesmo.
Muito pelo contrário, o que quero realmente dizer com isso é que: algo no pôster, no teaser ou na sinopse me levou a sentir que me causaria a mesma sensação. Sim, até mesmo histórias diferentes podem me fazer ter o mesmo tipo de percepção por causa de algum ponto de similaridade e era isso que eu esperava, mas no fim das contas não chegou nem perto do nível daquele drama.
Muitas vezes decido assistir algum drama justamente levando em conta essas pequenas coisas, além é claro da minha disposição para certos gêneros dependendo do meu humor no momento.
Portanto, vou fechar esse tópico dizendo que houve uma diferença gritante entre o que eu esperei ver nesse drama e o que efetivamente aconteceu, muitas vezes me peguei pensando: "sério que você fez isso? Porque raios você tomou essa atitude? Até que nível você vai baixar para se sentir satisfeita? Precisa mesmo de tudo isso? Não estou gastando do rumo que a história está tomando tenho até medo de como vai terminar".
UMA VERSÃO COREANA DE CASOS DE FAMILIA
Sim isso mesmo que você leu esse tópico é pra dizer que o enredo desse drama leva ao pé da letra o conceito daquele programa "casos de família". Não é exagero dizer que os ditados: "vou te pagar com a mesma moeda" e "a vingança é um prato que se come frio" se encaixem perfeitamente nesse contexto, porque a traição do protagonista no inicio da história resulta em uma verdadeira confusão generalizada de acontecimentos onde nada era relevado ou deixado de lado e quando você pensava que algum dos dois tinha saído vitorioso nessa rodada, lá vinha outra reviravolta para virar o jogo.
Tudo ocorre muito rápido nesse drama, da traição ao divorcio, outro casamento, uma nova traição outro divorcio, em certo ponto é como se algo sempre estivesse prestes a acontecer, e a história só era concluída até certo ponto, para dar lugar há uma nova etapa que começaria todo esse embate entre os protagonistas novamente.
ATÉ QUE PONTO ELA ESTAVA DISPOSTA A CHEGAR? VALEU A PENA?
É evidente que ninguém gostaria de passar pelo que a protagonista passou nesse drama. Ser traída pelo homem que ela tanto amou e ver seu mundo desmoronar ao perceber que todos a sua volta sabiam disso e até mesmo faziam questão ajudar seu marido a esconder tudo, deve causar tanto sofrimento como se retirassem o seu chão.
E quando a confiança já não podia mais ser restaurada levando em conta o rumo dos acontecimentos a melhor saída era mesmo o divorcio, no entanto, não acho que a fim de fazê-lo sofrer pelo que fez ela deveria ter feito o que fez: trai-lo com o seu melhor amigo e fingir ter matado seu próprio filho para despertar sua ira ao ponto de ser agredida foi muito extremo.
Gostaria de ter visto ela agir como uma mulher madura nessa situação, mas quando ela se rebaixou ao nível dele e de suas armações e mentiras para conseguir o que queria me desagradou muito.
E não para por aí, quando eu pensava que ela já tinha chegado ao fundo do poço e não tinha mais como baixar o nível, mais uma vez era surpreendida no mal sentido.
Francamente, não consigo entender porque ela se tornou o álibi dele quando estava sendo investigado pela policia por uma morte suspeita. Além disso, depois de tanto sofrimento causado pelo seu ex marido ela se deixa levar e tem um novo envolvimento romântico com ele no episodio 13 que depois ficamos sabendo que seu próprio filho presenciou essa cena absurda. Estive tentando me segurar por um bom tempo mas devo dizer que isso foi a gota d'água pra mim
Uma coisa era certa, a traição a enlouqueceu completamente, e ela ficou tão obcecada com isso que acabou perdendo seu próprio filho no final.
O FILHO PROBLEMÁTICO
Para mim nenhum dos dois protagonistas demostraram ser bons pais no decorrer desse drama. Achei completamente absurda a forma como ambos usavam seu filho como pretexto para mais uma queda de braço entre eles. Era visível como ficaram imersos na disputa para ver quem pode mais e esqueciam completamente que precisavam ser bons exemplos para seu filho.
Claro que isso não justifica o desvio de conduta do garoto, mas não se pode negar que todas aquelas situações que ele passou contribuíram para que ele agisse daquela forma.
Eu tenho que confessar que me irritava muito ver como ele desprezava a mãe e se deixava levar pelas mentiras que a madrasta lhe contava, mesmo sabendo das coisas absurdas que seu próprio pai fazia.
FINAL
E como se eu já não tivesse reclamação suficiente sobre o rumo dos acontecimentos nessa história, nem mesmo o final conseguiu remendar tudo isso, depois que começamos a descer ladeira abaixo era como se ela nunca tivesse fim.
Torcia para que o desfecho me deixasse com a sensação de que pelo menos no fim tudo deu certo mas nada disso aconteceu.
Não importava quantas oportunidades ela teve de pegar sua mala e levar o filho para bem longe dali e recomeçar, ela sempre dava alguma desculpa para adiar isso. E no fim tudo foi desperdiçado na cena final quando ela corre ao encontro do ex marido depois que ele tenta se suicidar.
Mas uma vez ela tomou a decisão errada, e o preço foi muito alto dessa vez já que nem mesmo o filho aguentou mais esse tormento e fugiu de casa.
Veja bem, eu poderia ter relevado vários pontos aqui e ali que foram me desagradando ao longo da trama se isso tivesse sido corrigido no final, a sensação que tive quando terminei esse drama foi de completa revolta, queria poder voltar no tempo e nunca dar o play no primeiro episódio porque esse não é o tipo de mensagem que quero levar comigo quando finalizo algum drama.
Portanto, pelos milhares de motivos que apresentei ao longo desse imenso desappreciation a conclusão que chego é que não vale a pena assistir The Word of a Married, coloquei na minha listinha negra e jamais indicarei a ninguém.

Recomendo, mas...
História (8/10): Após ter finalmente conseguido assistir esse dorama, eu posso dizer que não foi à toa que foi recorde de audiência na Coréia do Sul, afinal toda a trama me deixou super ansiosa e curiosa pra saber como tudo vai acabar. E quando você acha que tudo acabou, é aí que você se engana! As últimas cenas me deixaram super inquieta e ainda estou, porque foi finalizada de um jeito que não dá pra ter certeza do que aconteceu com alguns personagens, além de não mostrar muitas mudanças na vida da personagem principal, e é por isso que dei nota 8.Elenco/Atuação (10/10): O elenco foi perfeito e a atuação também! Não vou mentir, comecei a assistir a essa obra por causa do ator Lee Hak Joo (tenho assistido muitos doramas em que ele participa), e já me admirou ele ser o (um dos) 'bad guy' da trama. Mas não só ele, todos fizeram um trabalho impecável e é por isso que dei nota 10.
Música (10/10): A trilha sonora é de tirar o fôlego! Ela te influencia muito kkkkk Você fica ansiosa com todos os elementos, incluindo a música. Foi muito bem pensada e muito bem colocada, não teve momentos em que a trilha sonora atrapalhou ou foi incoerente. Nota 10.
Rewatch Value: (6/10): Sim, só elogiei até agora, mas sendo sincera, eu não assistiria de novo por um bom tempo. É um tipo de obra que você só assiste uma vez, não tem jeito. A graça dela, é que você não espera o que vem pela frente, se você assistir de novo acredito que não vá ser a mesma experiência. Por isso, eu não acho que valha a pena assistir mais de uma vez num curto período de tempo. Mas, quando bater a vontade de passar raiva e de ver o circo pegando fogo, aí eu recomendo voltar nessa obra!
