I think the ads were really misleading as well as the title. It gave the impression that this was going to focus on the three wives and their marriages. Instead the focus has been on the mistresses and the husbands. I think most of us have a brain. We didn’t need 8 episodes of mistresses. Actually the whole thing could have been wrapped up in one season.

The last notation I read said Season 2 release date pending and the one ad I saw only showed the husband and wives as returning cast members.

I don’t think it would have been as dissappointing to me if at least one of the mistresses had acknowledged feelings but said no to seeing the husband until he was divorced and free That to me would have added another dimension. But for all three to be friends and all three involved with married men. There was an Amerucan tv show years ago called Mistresses. I only watched a couple of episodes but their lives were not all sugar and spice like the lives of these mistresses. This series started out promising but turned to poop. The wives were billed as main roles but they seem more as support roles and used just to justify the husbands and mistresses. If that was the focus they could have just left them out period. One critic said this was a train wreck and advised viewers to skip it. He was right.

I am loving this show. I thought Episode 2 was full of passion and tension. It was realistic and not watered down like some BLs. I can’t wait for Ep 3. The main actors are awesome.

Thank you for your comments. I also read the recap of Ep 15. I refuse to watch another episode where the mistresses and the husbands are having such loving moments. Apparently no one has a conscience. All six are scum. Why the ratings are so high in Korea is beyond me. Are these peoples lives so wretched that the justification for adultery and cheating is so appealing. The viewers have really been suckered.

I am loving this...there are so many twists and turns....the balance between the dark side and the hilarious moments is just right. The actor playing the actual head of Babel is awesome. I hate him but he really brings life to the character.

I love these two. I think they have great chemistry. My only problem is this is just too short. I want to see more of them together.

I think you’re right. Someone close to me was involved in an affair. Despite the affair destroying her marriage and her being dumped by her lover 30 years later she still describes the man as the love of her life and speaks lovingly of that time. What she missed was the pain it caused her mother, husband, children and the rest of the family. It was a chaotic time full of turmoil which she still doesn’t acknowledge.

Personally I didn’t find the romance in it. How do you propose marriage to one woman and after meeting her married sister a few times you end up having sex. How do you not only cheat on your husband but you can’t keep your hands off your sisters fiancé. Ok you are lonely but what about talking to your husband about your despair. Also how do you just leave your child to flee to another country with your sisters now ex fiancé. I guess I just don’t understand the Korean culture. People said it had a happy ending. Not in my book.

A Man and a Woman kdrama

He is such a wimp and a fake. I hope his wife kicks his sorry butt to the curb. I just hate to see he and his mistress finding happiness at the expense of his wife. But what do they care?

I don’t believe a word he says. He’s a poor excuse of a man. I stopped watching. Can’t stand seeing he and his mistress fawning all over each other.

I agree...marriage is work and requires tolerance and a whole lot of patience..so sorry to hear about your husband. Take care

The writer lost me at ep 8....it seems like she’s saying it doesn’t matter what a wife does or doesn’t do husbands cheat and there’s always women out there whether they are young or old who knowingly get involved with married men. So being a wife is a lost cause.

Seems like Sung Hoon and the actress playing his mistress are very popular in Korea and the reason ratings are good.

I agree...I just want all three wives to come out wiser and stronger...

Yes I feel it has all been one dimensional. I was listening to some people talk about someone recently and some of their comments were not nice. Then it hit me that they were looking at the person through a very small window . That’s how I feel about the lawyers
wife. She had to be under a lot of stress to develop an ulcer. A divorce may be best for her health.

Lol..you are so right...the one who took my cousins husband was boohooing six months after they got married. He did the same thing to her !

Or they all come face to face!

Interesting analysis...my husband and I were together 50 years..lol..we would always tell people we were two imperfect people who were perfectly fit for each other. There was a singer who had a popular song 50/50. I disagreed with the premise. If each of you is only giving 50% you may be in for some problems. The reality is sometimes one is giving 120% and the other may be giving only 50%. You may want to go left and the other one may want to go right. Now that’s when someone becomes vulnerable and believe me there’s always someone waiting in the background. That’s when the real work starts. Lol...which one is willing to go the distance....Now I’m going to bring in a third participant...in our case it was our core values and beliefs(God) which determined that nobody or nothing could break the bond we had. This series has been one dimensional in my view. There was so much more that could have been explored. Sorry for being so lengthy. Take care.
