The soul-destroying pain of infidelity on a loving couple. The lives that are shattered after, and due to age may never be the same. The years that went into love, for it to not be looked at in the same way afterwards. The sacrifice of love for fleeting emotions.
This show hit me like a ton of bricks. I finished it a few days ago but I'm still thinking about it and especially about the aftermath of the main characters.
Choosing a partner and loving them is probably the most important decision we can make in our lives, but not many things in this world can be worse than cheating on your loving partner - this show made that clear for me.
I highly recommend it, there are many interesting sublopts and it exposes the secretive world of very rich people in Korea. But it's a must watch for the way it explores work, meaning, love, family and relationships, especially when one is in their 30s and 40s.
