Synopsis

This story challenges the definition of love. What is love? How does it change? Is There there more than onekind of love? Ji-soo and Jae-min have been married for 13 years and they have a 12 year old daughter together. While Jae-min is busy establishing his career as a professor, Ji-soo takes care of him and the family by making sure that the house is clean and well-decorated, and the food excellent. However, on their 13th anniversary something happens to rock Ji-soo's world.

What follows that day is a series of discoveries Ji-soo must make to understand what kind of life she's really lived and who she's really married to. While she's admits these shocking revelations she meets Do-yeon but she's not ready to accept him. Their fate, however, continues in a most surprising way 2 years later....


Review

Aside from Shim Hye-jin, who is famous from her previous leading roles in art house films, the cast mainly consists of unfamiliar names. Each character is well delivered, except for maybe Jeong Seong-hwan, whose portrayal of Do-yeon is a bit ackward and forced at times. Having said that the actor more than makes up for this with his sweet bubbly charms.

Oh Yoon-ah is especially convincing as the sexy self-centered mistress who reaps what she sows. The story starts out predictable but you will soon be addicted and thrilled by its speedy pace and twists. The story deals with more mature content and like all friday night dramas from SBS, this drama is more suitable for adults.

Rating:
9
