Shehe

This was an extreme case of domestic abuse. Two women, best friends. who, in spite of being close, carried deep secrets from each other. One harboured guilt for looking away from her mother's abuse perpetrated by her father and the other, enduring years of domestic violence from her husband. It is very concerning when two supposed to be best friends can't share their innermost secrets because together they could have educated themselves, found ways and legal means to stop the perpetrators instead of resorting to crime. Korea has laws to prevent domestic violence but sadly for the victims, patriarchal attitudes are still very strong and considered as just a "family matter," Families would rather keep silent for fear of the stigma it carries in society where they are shunned and blamed.

At the end of the drama, it would have been a great service if the two actresses did a public service announcement providing information to domestic abuse victims on how to stop the violence committed against them. Most victims are probably not aware that there are ways they could take to protect themselves.
