I am looooooooving this one! Great story, predictable or not its greatly written! Amazing actors and cast. Lee Seo Jin is a total dilf and i really like his character even before the transformation! Uee's acting is on another level, i am tired of people nagging about her being an idol and sucking at acting. She is great people need to grow up. Their chemistry is off the charts and the age gap offers a different more mature and serious vibe to the romance. The kid actor is exquisite and totally delivers in a difficult role for a child! The drama is soft melo, not overly sentimental but emotional enough to touch you. The music is original and luscious! Great drama, deserves better than 7.9 glad the rating is going up slowly!
No, she wasn't. Ji Hoon did have feelings for her, but never acted on them. He basically waited until Yung Soo did something wrong, so he could step in and take her back. Now that he died, he wants her again. She wasn't aware that Ji Hoon still had feelings for her, she considered him a close friend. Ji Hoon decided to be friendzoned than to not have her in his life.

I dont feel like watching this one. But I'm really curious can someone provide me the summary hahahah... I would…
Sure, i'll try not to spoil anything much. I saw you gave Temptation a 7.5, judging from that i think you'll probably like this one as they are quite similar.
In the first two episodes Hee Tae and Il Ri (the protagonists) meet and fall in love. Kinda silly and funny (also cringy for some) opening to the whole story. These episodes take place 14 years in the past (around 2000 i guess). In episode 3 we travel to 2014 and we meet the protagonists again and we see their daily lives. Il Ri meets Kim Joon through her job, a completely different person from her husband. Ultimately they fall in love, they don't engage a real affair but they do have feelings for each other. At the same time, someone anonymously contants her husband and tells him, his wife is seeing another man. Ultimately, Hee Tae confronts his wife and she tells the truth about her feelings for a different man. And then we get to see how everything goes down. What each person does in a weird situation like this.
This is a relationship/character based drama. No back story here, so you need to understand what you are getting into. The main premise isn't the affair as a concept, but the reasons for the affair to happen, and especially how the 3 people entangled in the affair cope with it, and how the families deal with everything. Emphasis on the families part as they are of great importance here.
I personally loved this one, but you need to come in with an open mind as not everything is black and white, example: She cheated on her husband, she is a slut, end of discussion. If that is your mindset, that is understandable but you won't like this, and it might be better to skip it.
So we're to believed that she never dated anyone all those years until they met again?That was the most unrealistic…
I 100% agree with you! You are totally right! What you wrote at (2) That is exactly it! Exactly what the show wanted to present and that was why it was shocking! I am happy some people actually got to understand the show. It was rather difficult to grasp and digest! Definately deserves more than a lousy 7.2!
I haven't watched secret love affair yet but i have it in mind to. I'd suggest you watch temptation if you haven't already. It revolves around the same subject more or less and it is also underrated!

I subscibe and agree with you. But a few things to think about.
1. She could have slapped him and never talk to him again. I agree he started it but she continued it even if it never got physical. The interesting part is trying to realise why she felt the need to do that. Not because she wanted him or she hated her life but for tons of other reasons.
2. To be completely honest, i do believe it would have been better if it had gotten physical. I agree with you that they just kissed so whats the huge deal? The main problem was that she had feelings for both. It didn't matter if they had sex or not. When she started having feelings the game was set! How can she move on and stay with her husband or divorce him when she had feelings for both. And of course you don't need to have sex with someone to fall for him! If they just had sex and nothing else it would be solvable imo. Emotional connection is the worst and she connected with him in different ways. Physical connection and lust can be broken off more easily imo. Thats why this was a huge deal and it deserved to be imo.
I remember Hee Tae asked her, do you love him, or something similar. And she was on her knees and said i love you both. How do you cope with that? Of course it's a huge deal! His wife is in love with another man! If she had told him no he means nothing to me, he would have forgiven her, but now... how can you forgive her? And live forever asking yourself "does she really love me?" "Did she choose me because we were already married?" "Is she cheating on me?"
One question: Can someone explain to me/remind me why the military was sent in this land/Uruk? I think the reason must have been explained but i missed it.
I love Da jeong, I hope everything will end up well for her and her husband. I know they still love each other.
Although the show didn't explained what I've gathered was that she suffered from postpartum depression. I've watched other dramas with this concept and it was exactly the same
Basically postpartum depression happens after a woman gives birth. I think it has to do with her giving birth separating from the baby in some ways. I doubt da jeong was aware of it though.
I am seriously not ready for this to end. When will i get another flawless, effortless, chemistry-full on screen…
Speaking personally this my my 2nd favourite drama overall! Definately worth it if you are into (twisted) romance. It gets addicting fast, you won't even be bothered by the 50 episodes. Definately worth a watch!
The whole film was the first 5 minutes and the last 5 minutes. The in between was slow and dragged. It had its good moments, but overall it was just an ok movie. The acting was great though, especially from Kim Yun Jin!
I am seriously not ready for this to end. When will i get another flawless, effortless, chemistry-full on screen couple to ship like crazy? I have a lover, thank you for coming in to my life! <3
