Too much serious relationship melodrama & not enough action. Bland happy ending
Female lead is one of my least favorite actresses, so it was a rocky start .The first few episodes give off a weird vibe because the female lead is happily married. So it feels uncomfortable/unpleasant & wrong for her to be spending anytime with her ex.
It was annoying that we don't ever really get concrete answers about how long her first marriage lasted (my guesstimate is a year) or how long in between her divorce & meeting husband #2 was. The series gives you a feeling that it has been a LONG time since she saw her ex AND that she has been married for more than a few years.When actually she has only been married to husband #2 for a year! The "perfect" marriage is shown to be based on things that aren't quite obvious or normal for some societies [or for me!] . The married couple don't actually kiss or get intimate [it's never suggested either], which is odd to me. The tug of war between who IS the best man for the female lead does keep you wondering for awhile. What disinterested me was the long soliloquies where the main characters reminisced for long periods of time about thier relationships. Sure, they were setting up a way for the audience to get into the character's heads, but it was SO tedious & maudlin. The mystery of who killed the scientist is only slightly intriguing. It's the mystery of who husband # 2 actually is that you sort of wait for . Neither husband # 2 nor his wife are in thier marriage for the reasons you would expect & that sets the stage for allowing us to see what looks perfect to be challenged.
Husband # 2's hair style was cringy & distractingly unappealing. The reasons at the end for why the leads do what they do, PLUS the time skip makes the happy ending rather blah. Too much serious relationship melodrama weighed this down when more action & fun spy stuff should have been added.
