You are absolutely crazy. It's borderline abuse how she was treating her husband. Have you not see the scen where she was yelling at him to bring her food!? He needed time for himself, whats wrong with that. He left their daughter with her mother! Not with strangers. For once, from what we've seen, she had to take care of her and the household. A spouse is not your dormat or someone you can emotionally abuse, just because of your own trauma. Working doesn't excuse neglecting your family which she clearly was. Can't beleive you are also excusing the affair just because he left for not even a half a month. The double standard for affairs is always baffling. Wow

So their affair is OK because they really love each other!? I just hope he takes her daughter if they divorce. Has she seems to not care about her, even when she's with the FL. She treats them like accessories, to be more normal/conventional family but she doesn't seem to care about them. She even has the same 3 pictures in her office to keep the facade.

He played her! She has bean manipulated so she can pay his loan.

Well that is real life, noona romance always romanticize young men and older women but in real life younger man are much more likely to cheat on you or his interest would quickly fade with an older women when they can have younger women. This is rarely portrayed in drama when in realty this is more common.

Thank you! Was about to say. When a women cheats, it is always Romanized and given deeper meaning. When men cheat, it can only be lust. For once, in this drama, they didnt completly vilify the husband to excuse her behavoir.

Would we even ask the question about freedom if it was a man having an affair while married and abandoning his child? I really don't get this double standard about feminity and freedom.

Yes, Japanese drama in particular often romanticize affairs.

She felt guilty for her actions even thought he forgave her, she couldnt go back. Time passed and she forgave herself and matured... they met again.

In the original, he was also much older.

Right pretty rare nowadays having an much older male lead. Love it

Japanese dramas have been known to put affairs in almost all of their romantic drama series (less before, but most prominent know). I dont think this version will follow the original too closely...otherwise what's the point of a remake. Their profession also don't seem to be the same (composer & actress).

She was as that not a real repercussion, she gets to keep her family while cheating husband usually ends up dead, broke, disabled or in prison. It's as much a punishment for him or worse considering the child isn't his. She can also decide to bail out once the children are adults and he still has to be a father to that child. Who's really getting ''punished'' here.

When women have a affair it's always forgiven. Dramaworld...

So everyone is alone in the end!? Great, strong female doesn't need a man. I hate when they show a woman divorce/break up, only to find the perfect man (rich, CEO, young, etc....) to marry right after. It takes time the succeed and find the right partner in life and it's completely fine to be alone for some time, no one's going to give you happiness but yourself (not even work that they love glamorize in drama-land so much as being the ultimate self-realization of a women).

Watching Chinese dramas, you would think that all husbands are bad. If they are trying to portray realistic households, maybe they should stop portraying wives/housewives as if they've achieved sainthood and all the problems in their lives or external problems (colleagues, husband, mother-in-law). I would like it if once they could portray flawed female leads that acknowledge their character flaws and actively work at them and change in the end would be refreshing. All Chinese female-centric dramas are the same.

All research have proven that women statistically cheat almost as much as men. It's being over-represented in dramas because of the demographic of viewers. Not because it is accurate.

Nahh she was definitely giving him the massive side eye '' HELP'' whenever the other guy approached her. Why would you look at another man who's not a friend every time you are being approached someone?!

No affair!? wow... let me watch the drama and come back. Haha

The day I will see a drama with an affair tag from the male point of view haha. Anything justifies an affair. We are always meant to sympathize with a woman caugth in affair with a unloving husband to justify it.

I strongly disagree with the reviews about this ''affair drama'' as it fails the same way every other affair dramas fails. It may not romanticize affairs but like every other dramas about this theme, it doesn't portray the husband as the victim of the affair or truly empathize with his pain. Like every other dramas about this theme, it portrays the husband as the perpetrator or catalyst of the affair. We are never meant to see his pain as the victim. We empathize only with the FL and her pain, regardless if she's the one that cheated. This is where all these dramas fail. Until they truly show both sides as they often due when its the husband that cheats (vilifying the husband that cheated). This dramas like all others in the genre fails to depict the true nature of infidelity on BOTH sides.
