The worst and insulting show, especially for women
I want to tell one thing to you before you read my review, this show has highest viewership in korea. Imagine how many woman there watched this and this being a family show how many teens and children watched this and thought yeah this is how a women who went through abuse should deal with the situation. For conservative countries like SK where abuse isn't talk openly much, especially to young people, the media plays a huge role in filling those gaps. Just remember this when you read my review.
I wish I could give a zero star if possible.
The story starts with a FL who is mother of two children, lives as caring housewife after giving up her career to become doctor due to conservative life style of her in law family. Everyday she caters to their excessive demands and lives like an obedient wife. One day her liver fails, and her husband is the only donor to save her. Despite being married for more than 20 yrs, like a selfish person he denies his liver and even her mother in law insists to not take his son's liver. On verge of death, she is only saved by a liver luckily due to some donor availability.
You think after this, at least now the FL will leave the husband, but no she continues to serve him, but also decides to become doctor again. From here on, she finds out he doesn't support her restarting her career, he always gaslights her into feeling guilty, never helps her, verbally abuses her, treats her like garbage, she is still recovering from major surgery yet he expects her to do house duties like before. and worst he is cheating on her and has a secret daughter. the mistress and her daughter bother the FL's children, yet the husband does nothing.
FL one minute acts like a power femina who won't forgive her husband and next moment she keeps saying it is my fault. And this continues till the end. In the end her donated liver fails again, they give medical reasons but let's face it, the mental and physical health her husband made her go through has undoubtedly is a major contribution.
The husband almost made her die, cheated on her, treated her like garbage, never respected her, used her all her life. The only thing FL did was get a divorce finally and at last everyone is forgiven and are happy with one another. The FL at the end is now embarked on a solo journey with a bad liver, even though it is treated again let's not deny that two operations is not really a good sign.
The writer herself is a female, how can a woman write such a story where it says till the end even though you were abused, just forgive everything, especially your husband, and speak to him like a friend no matter what. Does this writer even respect females. This is such an insulting story for woman who go through abuse.
if you are reading my review and haven't watched this show, just don't, save yourself and do not support this kind of show which puts down women like this.
