Consensual infidelity
Reviewing all the 1-star reviews, I tried to find a positive point about the series to balance things out. Despite giving it as much perspective as possible, it's difficult.
In this series, we follow a couple in their thirties who have been together since childhood and haven't tied the knot yet.
Very quickly, you realize the couple's dynamic: Ho Namgung isn't just in love, he deifies Lee Mi-do.
He deifies her so much that when she cheats on him, he tells her, « If it made you happy, keep sleeping with him, I'll wait for you. » Lee Mi-do felt ashamed to accept, and he encourages her by saying he could do the same to ease her guilt.
So, if you found that absurd or even awkward, well, just know that their respective love interests suffer from exactly the same syndrome.
I'm not exaggerating in the slightest. Every single episode goes like this:
1. HN or LMD has a problem at work and discusses it with their love interest.
2. HN or LMD pushes their love interest away, claiming to be in love for life, wanting only to wait until the other finishes fluttering around in their new relationship.
3. The love interest replies that they are so full of admiration for this love that it makes them fall in love too, and that they will wait.
Yes, almost all the arguments end with « I love you too much » or « too much love ». The characters are in their thirties, but emotionally, it's questionable.
Besides, they are poorly written. They go from being clingy to nonchalant from one scene to the next, bordering on a split personality.
I'll spare you the famous work problems, as they are so poorly introduced and boring.
Long story short, it's a romance that, in its quest for originality, becomes nonsensical.
