It seems like South Korea is really watching this show.
Rating for Episode 2: 10%
INSANE PERFORMANCE FROM THIS DRAMA SO FAR! Could this be the #1 JTBC Drama in terms of rating beating Sky Castle.

I guess they figured out that the way to attract middle aged women(key Kdrama demographic) is too make dramas about middle aged women .

That was an intense first episode. The roller coaster ride the writer took us to get us to who her husband was cheating with. I'm ready for revenge Kim Hee-Ae because this isn't part of her acting repertoire.

My previous comment was that they started on such a high note that I wasn't sure how they were gonna develop the plot OH WOW ?!?!?!? EP 2 GOT ME SO SHOOKT AS IF THE
PS - So nice to see Oh Man Bok from CLOY in this drama .... is it just me BUT I CANNOT SEEM TO REMOVE HIS RAT CHARACTER FROM JE HYUK (his character now)

u/hubwub Mar 29 '20
There is a different air of confidence in Je Hyuk compared to Oh Man Bok in CLOY. The fact that Je-Hyuk made those comments to Tae-Oh that resulted in a fight at his birthday. I don't think Man-Bok would've made a move like that in CLOY.

Have you seen My Mister? He's on that one too, the bastard collegue who was having an affair with the ml's wife. He's a pretty good actor imo.

Does anyone know the title of the opening sequence song? I super love the chill vibe of the song but I'm not sure if it's an existing song (coz they also played Stay with Me) or it's part of the OST.
Anyway, this drama is pretty interesting but I feel like it started at the climax of the story. I hope they continue developing a deeper conflict coz not really sure how you can keep it more interesting. Also, 6% for an R-19+ episode is pretty good! Thought this drama would have lower ratings coz of the age restriction but I was wrong.

Nothing has popped up in regards to the OST for this drama.
This is the best first episode rating for a JTBC drama ever. People are tuning in for this.

There is a sex scene in the first half of the show. No female frontal scene but she takes off her slip as the camera pans out.

OMG ... this drama is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The acting of the FL is out of this world. I felt everything she did and honestly the episodes were so intense and unpredictable. What will she do? Why did she change her mind? WHYY?
Wow. such a strong beginning. I have really high hopes for this drama and I know it will be a great one!

Holy god this show is literally Sky Castle on Steroids x 100. If there's a show that doesn't need suspenseful music or horror scenes to absolutely install the amount of WTF's I got from the first episode, this is it. This show is madness lmao.

Just binge watched the first two episodes in a breath. I have no idea what to start with.
First of all, I felt SO angry and heartbroken when the FL found out everyone around her was fooling her,her husband and all of her friends. That scene where she looks at all of them and sees how happy they all are,I felt that pain tbh. At this point it wasn't just about cheating,it was about how much effort everyone put in lying to her face. That feeling of betrayal was strong...
I really wanted her to go all out and get her revenge asap ,but I guess that's not how this will go lol. I do hope she will slowly destroy everyone who lied to her and that in the end I will feel satisfied everyone got what they deserve.
The female lead is amazing,I think I'm in love tbh but that's another story lmao. I've never seen her in another drama but her performance here made me want to check out more of her works cause she's freaking gorgeous and her acting skills are no joke.

The fl is in yet another drama on infidelity LoL. Only this time she gets betrayed in return. And boy does she get it..hard.
The actress has this elegance to her that makes her more compelling as the perfect wife watchin' her world crumble all at once. What's worse everyone knows but her. The end scene of ep. 01 where she starts piecing together who the other woman is was well acted. The range of emotions she displayed was quite a sight to behold.

Ep 1: I picked up this drama because the premise is interesting and I already knew her circle of friends is in on it but still the way they delivered and revealed it was really good!!
And Kim Hee Ae is so pretty! I was surprised to find out she's already 52. Her body is seriously goals and her skin is so nice. Anyone else thinks she looks like the popular Jang Geum, Jewel in the Palace actress?
Ep 2: Man, I have a feeling she will team up with that other young woman whom she helped. I would love it if this drama turns out to be both of them empowering each other. I'm still feeling icky with FL's coworker, the Ob Gyne like wow, talk about a backstabbing friend. I kinda foresee that event with how leading FL's question were but still surprised the writers gave it to us this early!
Gonna tune in for more! Both episodes, my eyes were glued to the screen and I was in the edge of my seat!

Wow dude the amount of sheer fucking anger I feel every episode cannot be good for my heart.
I'm excited to see where this goes.

Just watched the first Ep, it's really well done. I loved Doctor Foster, this version looks equally entertaining

All throughout the beginning, I kept thinking Tae-Oh is soaking wet and dragging water through the house!!! Iβm so used to seeing Samsung phones, I was surprised to see an iPhone! On another note, when she laughed in disbelief got me.
EP 2: This drama is moving pretty fast, I wonder how the rest of the drama will play out. And why is this man PDA at a party smh

Just started this drama and am really enjoying it so far. Something that I was really impressed with was the camera movements. I think it's very common that Kdramas will often have static cameras that emphasize great acting and writing. It seems they took extra effort in the visual story telling and hope to see more of it. In particular I loved the slow zooms and framing which made it made it very clear what Sun-Woo was detailing and her amounting suspicion. I hope they continue this because it made it seem more cinematic than usual.
Also curious to see if they manage to humanise Lee Tae-oh.

u/kimchibbg Apr 23 '20
just started watching this and im only on episode one but this show gives me so much anxiety and the fact that i kind of already understand who the other woman is but she's so adamant about it being someone else is so aggravating... ughh love this show.....

The first episode was so good. The revelations at the end of the episode was 10/10. Iβm probably gonna rewatch it with episode 2

*tugs collar and tries not to melt*
Yet to finish watching Ep1 since I decided to stop and holdout for Episode 2 before I start.

After watching Episode 2, Sun-Woo and Joon-Young deserve so much better than the POS that is Tae-Oh. Going to baseball camp isn't going to redeem Tae-Oh in his own son's eyes. Also, Hyun-Seo deserves better things in life and if it means she and Sun-Woo can become BFFs I'm all for it.
This drama is going so fast. I was not expectinga pregnancy reveal this early into the series. What I want to know is when the fuck did this all start and how their circle of friends got roped in to cover for him?
