Maybe she was helping him professionally, but yes, I would say he was the one doing all the work in the relationship, as if he still needed to show her that it is really worth it for her to be with him. And yes, she did not come back to him when she returned, he did not speak to her at that time because he was hurt when she broke up with him after they finally met abroad.

I don't think I am cut to watch dramas like these, I hardly finished the first episode (and this was especially looong). It felt like watching Producers (which I have also dropped), here you also have a bunch of unpleasant characters and you always find yourself saying "poor main guy" too many times.

I also found it funny how in the beginning they needed to be hidden and super secret, and suddenly they walked on the streets unmasked, ate in restaurants, and nobody got to know them. Also everyone always knew someone else's position and was right around the corner, be it the bad guys or the good guys. And when the anti-terrorism corrupted men went after everyone in Joo Eun's or Jeong Hwan's lives, how come they suddenly knew the location of the Jeong Hwan's hacker friend? If they knew, why they would not "surprise" them right away? Some things just did not make sense for me.

This was quite suspenseful, and I liked the character of Jeong Hwan the most (and then the detective guy). Although Edward was a super horrible guy, the actor was really charismatic. For me Sophia Chung was much more believable baddie as opposed to Joo Eun, who looked more like a wannabe-tough girl for me (although there were many good scenes of her). I enjoyed the drama overall, but the amount of twists and conspiracies started to be too much towards the end and I got a bit lost.

I could not make myself finish this. I felt sorry for Kim Soo Hyun's character, but I could not care less about the other characters, which were just not nice for the most part (a gentle way to put it), and the dialogues were not interesting for me. I got to the third episode, skipping most of the scenes, and then I just saved myself some precious time and dropped it.

I could not make myself finish this, with the actors being replaced and everything, and this just being a prolonged makjang. I got to the third episode, skipping most of the scenes, and then I just saved myself some precious time and dropped it.

I liked the drama, it was funny at times, sad at times, and I liked how Ki Seun Gyeom rebelled against his father (who should go to hell btw and I hoped everyone would just leave him in the end). Although maybe in the beginning Seun Gyeom was not able to express his feelings with many words like other ppl, I did not think he was weird, rather than others made him feel this way even though they were less honest (including Mi Joo and Dan Ah) and he was just trying to be tre to himself and fair. Oooh and I have loved how he beat up the bullies, and I hated the fact that others called the poor guy whistleblower (so ppl should stay bullied and keep quiet???). I am not sure if I have enjoyed the scenes with Dan Ah and Young Hwa, although Dan Ah lived in a world where emotions might have been seen as a hindrance, she still did not have to be cruel and harsh to people that were nice to her (although Young Hwa was rather cheeky in the beginning, but she still should not have treated him like an object).

I have noticed that too and it was funny, like with adults you can just skip 3 years and say they look the same, but with a 8-year old vs an 11-year old, it is just not the same :D

I don't agree with this, imagine how it is like for a kid to lose their parent, which she knew was cheating on her mom, but then instead of grieving together or talking through it, her mom just poured her emotions, frustrations and anger over the kid, I would say it was a lot to handle for her, plus it seemed to continue over the years, so why would she needed to accept everything coming from her mother just because she is her parent. Their relationship went for the worse, so of course she did not want to spend time with her. It was not that she hated her mom, but communication with her was really tough and suffocating for her, also how could she share with her news about a boyfriend for example, when her mom hated the thought of her dating.

I would say 3 years was the time she spent abroad overall, but they split 1 year before she came back.

Although Rowoon's character did have some shortcomings (in my eyes very few though), I believe it would be a blessing for every woman to meet a guy like him. I especially liked the way he treated his ex in front of Song Ah, leaving no space for her being confused or uneasy like it is usually in other dramas. Basically Hyun Seung was Song Ah's knight in shining armor. And I have to just say that Lee Jae Woon was the best chaebol boss I have ever seen in any dramas, very fair and funny too (so probably not very real LOL, but never mind, I have enjoyed his scenes very much). This was also my first time seeing Rowoon in a drama, and I kind of get the hype now - he is good looking, I believed the emotions he had portrayed (I liked the chemistry between ML and FL), and his voice is really nice too, so that helps as well.

Although I dislike influencers being called celebrities or even the way they earn so much money, I have enjoyed this drama, it was fast-paced, acting was really good and it had many intense moments. It was also interesting to see how in the beginning Ah Ri would not really think high of these influencers, but in the meantime she became more like them (e.g. when treating her friend and colleague Jeong Sun). I also liked Joon Kyung's and Shi Hyun's characters.

It does not mean he should get her. But it seemed like Sun Oh noticed Jojo just because he saw Hye Yeong liking her, and well, he was a playboy, not a friend really, but then he was angry later at Hye Yeong. And I never understand how girls do not like certain behavior from a guy, but at the same time are attracted to him because of it????? But this is not in dramas only, but seeing it there as well irritates me :D

I do not mind adult themes etc., but with the murder, this got suddenly so disgusting I had to drop it. Definitely it was different from what I expected, maybe my fault, but that does not mean I cannot dislike it then.

Thank you for the recommendation, will try it out if I get the chance!

It took a long time for me to complete this. While some episodes had their suspenseful moments, most of the drama is slow-paced, the relationship between ML and FL romantic-wise is developing at times super-slowly, you would feel like you watch some kiddy drama. I liked the turns to the "crime-plot" that happened quite a lot, so the truth is not something you would know or expect right from the beginning. I liked the Chef Cha's character, and his cute "brotherhood" with Hae Sung. I also liked Hae Sung's character, and Ho Bang's as well. As for Jung Won, she was okay, but quite childish at times, and as for Yun Hee's acting, well, I've seen a lot better, she was quite unnatural at times. I did not really like the "grandma" character that had her husband reappear as well, although she was helping them, she was quite bossy and not really direct at times, hiding help behind her arrogant behavior. The story as such is really sad and you would feel a lot for Hae Sung and his family. I did not really understand the ending (was it real or just an imagination?), but that's probably the ending that was expected....

Yes, cheating should not be justified, I believe he should have divorced her right away. But watching the series, I got impression that Hye Ryung was not that honest before the marriage, it is not only about cooking etc., I believe Sa Hyeon was often surprised how nasty she reacted to him many times after, and I think she kind of saw that for a bit when going for the dinner with her friend and her husband, when she saw how lovey-dovey they were and then came back home crying, saying she is sorry how she never appreciated her husband at all and that she would like to change it (that was just for a little while).
Not everyone has to be a stay-at-home wife, it's the way she treated him and responded to his questions or requests (it is different to say "I cannot really cook and you know it", versus something in the sense of "why the hell should I make breakfast for you?"), seeing everyone below herself (also the way she threw away food from his mother and was even nasty about this too...). Yes, Sa Hyeon was attracted to her playing the drums and later regretted that he did not notice her character that much. Still, that does not mean it is ok to be nasty because you are not hiding it. But she was hypocrite as well, because she was not showing this side of her to her friends or colleagues. Btw his comments about her make-up were not something she should be making such a scene of, however later she changed the style just because she wanted to get herself a rich man. Not sure where her honesty was, when she tried to play tricks at first getting the 2nd son, and then switching to the oldest son of some big corporate firm because that is a greater catch.

I would have to disagree here, I am just curious why you feel like Hyeryung is not the villain in their relationship? Do you feel there was any moment in their marriage when she treated her husband right, or at least with a bit of love, instead of just being the boss woman? It's funny how she pushed him to the gym, and when he was finally going, she made sure he was still adjusting to her plans. It does not matter whether he wanted to go in the evening because of Song Won or not, Hyeryung did not know that, he told her he is super tired in the morning and not feeling well, but she was like whatever, go when I tell you because what if I wanted to have dinner with you (tho she still went out with her colleagues instead). Every situation showed how she cared only about herself, always portraying herself in front of other women like the perfect wife and complaining about her husband, but when you compare her with Pi Young, who cooked for her man and prepared clothes for him, Hye Ryung did nothing for her husband, not even when he was sick. Sorry for the rant, I just hated her character so much. As a woman and wife, I feel ashamed there are fake women like this.

Honestly, I disliked his behavior, but from her part...to me it looked like the typical woman thing, when they say they do not want to do something but still like it if the guy does it anyway, like oh, he is so manly, which pissed me off. If you are in a relationship with someone and you are mourning, why you would cut off your partner, but let yourself be taken to a picnic by your ex? That was just stupid, it seemed to me like she wanted to be taken away by him partially.

and then he goes around like a jealous f*** stalking his wife, so he can justify his affair in this head
