I didn’t know there was a difference in how kdramas portray cheating by women . Can you recommend a kdrama. I also agree with you. There is no justification for extramarital affairs. That is the problem I see with this kdrama.

The only purpose I have seen so far is how some women accept the role of mistress with no reservations. The writer might also be trying to show that who the other woman is is really not the point. These are three wives facing a crisis in their marriage and the burden is on the woman to fix the problem or leave. I certainly hope that’s not the message.

I think you are right. My cousin’s ex-husband never could understand what the fuss was all about. Afterall he was basically a good guy with just one “flaw”...?

Yes she’s been trying to be respectful since his father just died but she needs to be more assertive. He just calmly dismisses everything she says and she needs to finally spell out what she sees and how she feels. However it looks like she is just not strong enough. I really don’t like how they are portraying the wives unless this is representative of Asian women. I always thought they were fierce. Yes this stuff happens but I don’t know any women who would be taking the crap that these women are taking. One in the hospital with an ulcer, one looking like a timid frightened wife and one just beaten down. And the mistresses seem so happy and carefree when they are together. I’m watching but not enjoying . Of course to the writers and producers it’s all about the numbers and the money.

Yes I was so glad when he tried to take her hand and she pulled away. Too little too late....he’s a wuss ....too immature to be a father...the best he can do is pet the family dog.

What was even more pathetic was watching the father act as if his wife and children should throw him a going away party....
afterall he only made one mistake which just happens to be adultery and who stays with one person forever ...I guess I keep watching to see how callous a person can be to someone who literally picked him up out of the gutter. So far the ones who seem happy and content are the mistresses. The husbands aren’t worth a dime.

Lol did you see that mad sprint he made down the steps to jump in the car... he really acts like a big baby???

I hope so too and I hope someone wipes the smiles off the three mistresses. Each time they’re shown they seem so content. I don’t know how you can be that happy knowing you’re sleeping with a married man?

Since she was his mom since he was seven this borders on incest. I really have to fast forward on these two. They are just too creepy.

He is such a wimp. It appears as if he’s the youngest in the family and a spoiled brat so I can see a woman wrapping him around her finger. He keeps using the baby as his excuse so I’m thinking it’s the mistress who has planted this guilt trip on him. So many women pull the baby card as the last resort to hook the man. It’s sad but true . Everything his parents said was true. They know him. They know he’s fickle minded. I hope his wife takes a big fat settlement and if it were me I’d take that beautiful apartment in the agreement. All three of the men are just sorry and pathetic. Who needs that kind of baggage.

I felt so sorry for her as she lay in bed crying while her cheating husband slept peacefully. No shame on his part.

Me too..it looks like the older daughter finds out. Bet the father is more relieved that she knows than being upset. He is such a douchbag.

Yes it is sadly true. Divorced women still fare worse then men in every important area....financial status, societal status, emotional distress, etc...so most women hang on as long as possible especially those who are 50 or older. Men generally get a slap on the wrist and bad boy scolding but get remarried sooner and are emboldened by the usually younger women waiting in line. That’s why I’m rooting for the wives with the exception of the stepmom who is just perverse.

Same here... I think this is why it’s viewership is so high...good commercial ploy...I was going to drop it but I’m hoping the wives get some kind of satisfaction at the end.

So far this is like reading a dirty novel. Cheating husbands, unrepentant and pitiful.....mistresses who willingly continue in these illicit affairs .....wives who did not elect to be apart of this drama but must endure the personal pain and embarrassment which is sure to come. Children whose lives will be torn apart and grandparents who have little control. I hope before this is over the husbands will also feel the sting of betrayal and deception. Hopefully the old stepmother will be exposed and dealt with harshly.

I did go ahead and watch ep 5. It left me feeling very sad. I have never understood how to have happiness at the expense of someone else. Even as a child I wondered how people could do this. Just today I read where a female celebrity was told by her husband that he’s leaving she and their two children. They have been married 13 years and she is devastated. Also an Asian Olympic swimmer was caught cheating and was suspended. He apologized and his wife is standing with him. He’s been reinstated and won his first competition. I guess this series is more real than id like to imagine.

I forced myself to look at ep 5 and I kept asking myself over and over are men actually that dumb? Yes! I actually liked the response of Wimpy’s wife....her reaction was actually realistic. She didn’t bite her tongue and I like that. Why should she just roll over and play dead. I dislike the three young girls even more. And the mother-in-law is pitiful. The daughter-in-law is obviously not stupid. Neither is the older man’s wife. All three wives may end up divorced but I hope they make these pitiable excuses for a man squirm and suffer. And what’s in that Oriental medicine. It must be some potent stuff. One last point. The mil keeps making a point about the dil’s temper and how intimidating she is. So if a woman dares to speak up and throws a fit she’s mean and harsh. Sorry folks I don’t buy it.

When I saw the title I thought it would be about the different challenges couples face such as infertility, trust, financial, sexual dysfunction, health issues. sexual orientation, etc. To make infidelity, lust and cheating the focus is an insult to our intelligence.

True it seems to be all about feeding their egos. It doesn’t even matter if the wife is smart and accomplished.

I agree...and if the three women are mistresses they are sickening too.
