Solid Casting Choices, hard story to watch

This drama is hard to watch but impossible to ignore—much like "Imperfect Victim" It highlights how blame often falls on the victim. The FL gave a powerful performance in an emotionally demanding role. Some scenes (like those with the mom) were too heavy for me, but the tension builds well toward the FL's breaking point.

ML: Vin Zhang is solid as always—his character’s shifted from wanting a divorce to unwavering support. They are the type of couple you root for.

Highlight for me:
Ep 7 26 min in when she starts fighting back. I absolute love her fight back words!
Ep 17 ML's full back story.

In the end I can't say I loved the story
The setup of the mom was impossible for me to like. The whole miserable life that FL had to endure was because of her so regardless how great the acting was, I was unable to sympathize with the mom's character.

I do think its worth watching if you like the leads.

12 ep in: Not sure I get:
1. Why didn't the police do anything about the wife pouring sh*t?
2. Why can't they use the recording from the FL in the office?
