They say forgiveness is a virtue ..this drama denies that concept
I won't say complete forgiveness but in my opinion being friends with your cheater husband and his mistress is either stupidity or straight up foreplay to some explicit thought.😑 Anyways here's the review:
This is the story of a woman who fought her way through life's brutal punches—a serious illness and a failed marriage—only to rise stronger and finally discover her own purpose. The premise somewhat overlaps with Emergency Couple, where the FL builds her career post-divorce. But while Emergency Couple leaned more into medicine, this one is 90% family melodrama and only 10% medical, and honestly, it could’ve done better with tighter writing, more backbone and well.... more medical cases. 😏
The plot starts off well-paced, but eventually devolves into a draggy mess around the divorce arc. The FL’s complete denial of her husband’s cheating is so damn frustrating. Yes, some women can’t accept that even after being devoted and loving, their husbands might still cheat—but this level of delusion was outrageous. 😮💨😮💨
Let’s not even talk about her family’s role. The FL working under the mistress, who also has a daughter actively trying to reveal the truth, and they still think it’s okay to keep the affair a secret from her ? How delusional can you be? This wasn’t noble. It was just plain stupid.😮💨😮💨
Writing Flaws That Offended Me as a Woman
One of the most offensive aspects was how indecisive the FL was when it came to dealing with her garbage marriage. Instead of making a savage exit or serving some poetic justice, we’re served plate after plate of crying, hesitation, and internal conflict. Girl, throw him off the terrace , beat him to death ... Or just drag him by his collar to court—anything but this wet tissue approach.😬
I expected rage. I expected revenge, cause this man was literally disgusting ... He deserve it .. but What I got? emotional constipation and hesitance stretched over episodes.😒
Characters:
🔹 Doctor Cha (FL):
A fine protagonist—inspiring, graceful, kind, and empathetic—but the writer clearly confused graceful with weak and pushover. I’ll explain that in a bit.😐
🔹 Dr. Seo (ML or more like Male Trash):
Let’s just say it—he’s human scum. A disgrace, a walking pile of filth that should be buried next to the word shameless in the dictionary.😤
This man was dating the SFL (his so called first love), but sleeps with FL, gets her pregnant, and marries her. So far, so normal. But then he goes to the US for residency, meets the SFL again, knocks her up, and continues having steamy nights with the FL too—because surprise, she also gets pregnant.
Both women give birth to daughters nearly the same age. For 20 YEARS, he hides this double life. And that’s not even the worst part.👏
He never spends vacations with his wife and kids.
He and his lovely little mother treat the FL like a housemaid.
When FL is hospitalized with liver failure, this man refuses to donate his liver.
Oh but wait—he uses her disability card to park near motels where he’s off screwing his mistress.
Honestly, he deserved to be eaten alive by a rabid dog.
But this is a patriarchal K-drama, so of course—he gets a redemption arc. He donates his liver in the end and boom—all sins forgiven, apparently. Never mind the SML (second male lead) was ready to donate his liver for FL too. Nooo, our FL chooses to take this cheater’s disgusting organ and continues to be friends with both the mistress and her ex-husband after the divorce. 🤮🤮🤮
Excuse me—what kind of messed-up foreplay to some twisted adult content is this?
On the contrast this man is the answer to korea's shrinking population.. i mean he created 3 babies with two women quite a nice shot he got down there 🤭🤭
Mistress: Oh not even worth discussing... Just imagine a woman who has no bottom line. 😒
Cast : there isnt much to pinpoint ..all of them are seasoned actors .. been in the industry for decades ..they delivered the best. 🙃🙂
Final Thought
The message had so much potential: a woman reclaiming her life after being broken by illness and betrayal. But instead of giving us fire, the writer gave us damp ashes. They turned an empowering journey into a circus of unrealistic forgiveness, watered-down female rage, and the glorification of human trash in the name of "growth." 😐
Call it what you want, but I call it a waste of righteous anger.
