The World of the Married (2020)

Recomendo, mas...

História (8/10): Após ter finalmente conseguido assistir esse dorama, eu posso dizer que não foi à toa que foi recorde de audiência na Coréia do Sul, afinal toda a trama me deixou super ansiosa e curiosa pra saber como tudo vai acabar. E quando você acha que tudo acabou, é aí que você se engana! As últimas cenas me deixaram super inquieta e ainda estou, porque foi finalizada de um jeito que não dá pra ter certeza do que aconteceu com alguns personagens, além de não mostrar muitas mudanças na vida da personagem principal, e é por isso que dei nota 8.

Elenco/Atuação (10/10): O elenco foi perfeito e a atuação também! Não vou mentir, comecei a assistir a essa obra por causa do ator Lee Hak Joo (tenho assistido muitos doramas em que ele participa), e já me admirou ele ser o (um dos) 'bad guy' da trama. Mas não só ele, todos fizeram um trabalho impecável e é por isso que dei nota 10.

Música (10/10): A trilha sonora é de tirar o fôlego! Ela te influencia muito kkkkk Você fica ansiosa com todos os elementos, incluindo a música. Foi muito bem pensada e muito bem colocada, não teve momentos em que a trilha sonora atrapalhou ou foi incoerente. Nota 10.

Rewatch Value: (6/10): Sim, só elogiei até agora, mas sendo sincera, eu não assistiria de novo por um bom tempo. É um tipo de obra que você só assiste uma vez, não tem jeito. A graça dela, é que você não espera o que vem pela frente, se você assistir de novo acredito que não vá ser a mesma experiência. Por isso, eu não acho que valha a pena assistir mais de uma vez num curto período de tempo. Mas, quando bater a vontade de passar raiva e de ver o circo pegando fogo, aí eu recomendo voltar nessa obra!

What would you have done if you were in her shoes?

As a fan of cheating dilemmas , affairs, forbidden love, mature and realistic content , i was instantly drawn to this show.
The cast is spot on , when many will choose Han So Hee as the spotlight stealer of the show, i would personally choose The husband!! The way he portrayed his role was deep rooted in reality . He gave us the broadest spectrum of a typical cheating man . I didnt have any negative feelings for him throughtout my watch . He depicted a pitiful character more than an evil one. I wasnt disgusted or appalled by any of his wrongdoings.He always looked the smallest in the room . To me he was an image of an emotion driven man , as opposed to the cool , charismatic typical kdrama ML.

To not make this review long , i m not going into the details of each character , but i ll have to mention a few things that got a strong reaction out of me . First is the son , i have seen a few comments calling him selfish and i felt the same way , until i realized, he was the most coddled child ever, he had no understanding of adulthood and its complexity . We might be used to the overly mature, thoughtful kid character in kdramas, which is why we didnt empathize with this guy . It took me a second to convince myself that he had an upbringing that made him the spoiled kid that he is . So can we really blame him?

I would also like to add, that suprisingly , the character i was most , and i mean THE MOST annoyed with, is the mother/wife. She pretended to be the opposite of her emotional husband, lived as a fake rational, collected and poised woman, but in real she was a ticking bomb of red flags , negativity, aggressiveness and pent up emotions. I hated every decision she made, every superiority thought she had and every competitive endeavour she pulled at the cost of everyone 's well being, just to feed her egotistic nature.....Not to justify cheating, but i can see why her husband cheated ...

The husband and the wife are both an emotional wreck , insecure and selfish individuals, with two different methods of coping with all that , The father is eaten by the inferiority complexe , while the mother is under the cracked shell of a fake superiority complexe.

A beautiful disaster

What I liked:
*The characters. The writers put so much detail into the characters, they felt so real and multilayered. The writers gave everybody a reason to act the way that they did and created very realistic and messy characters.
*The performances. Everybody was pretty good in this drama. Han So Hee stood out though, her performance was phenomenal. It was a delight watching her.
*The soundtrack wasn't very memorable but I really enjoyed that orchestral/instrumental music was used most of the time. It really gave more drama to the series.

What I didn't like:
*The plot was a bit too drawn out for me, it dragged a bit. If the drama was shorter by a couple of episodes I think it would have been less exhausting to watch. The plot was great nonetheless, very dramatic but still realistic. Due to being on the heavier side, I don't think it's very rewatchable.

Heart Pounding, Heart Wrenching, Perfect Drama - Not To Be Missed!

My first K-drama in 2021. TWOTM popped up on my Netflix and I thought to give it like a 10 minutes trial watch and then move on. To my surprise, I ended up binge watching this magnificent drama in 2 days . EVERY episode was so good on it's own, and then some ........

I remembered there was much hype about this drama whilst I was watching The King : Eternal Monarch (TKEM) which released as TWOTM has been airing for a month. Even with the heavy weight draw of Lee Min Ho , TKEM could not kick TWOTM from it's first ranking. And I have to agree, this drama is magnificent.

The acting flawless, the directing was to perfection, a story line meticulously written. Even the music was mesmerizing and drew out all our emotions on point. I felt so tensed whilst watching every episode and felt like I was always on the edge of my seat. Heart pounding.

What a great start to my year 2021. And anyone who has not watched The World Of The Married last year, highly recommend to do so. You will not regret it.

Perfect 10 rating from me.

Cheers - K-Drama "Forever"

An imperfect drama, Making it perfect.

Ah yes, a JTBC drama again. You know it's great quality, and with the casting? Make sure you're in for a ride.

For the story, it's an average plot at least for me. People might even find it below average but it's not bad. It's slow paced yes, some viewers might find it annoying (considering the episodes to be roughly 90 minutes each) but I don't think it was a hindrance to the drama overall.

BUT the scriptwriting was actually really good. It delivers and does the story somewhat a raise.

The acting was the highlight of the drama. Everyone delivers and carries the drama, especially Kim Hee ae who won an award in this drama. Her acting was just to convincing and on point that you actually feel the emotion she feels! She and the other casts even just a supporting role truly did the script justice.

Special mention to Jeon Jin so for slaying Lee Joonyoung's role. Trust me he deserved to be nominated along with Park Haejoon for a Baeksang.

The OST's and the the BGM are really great too! I really love them. Especially Lonely Sailing and Finale. They suit the drama and moods alot. Suspence, sadness, it's all there.

The rewatch value tho, it's not really something you wanna watch again. It's not because its bad it's because— you'll see for yourself.

Overall, I tried to give a both positive and negative view of this drama. I really recommend this, it doesn't just talk about affairs. It talks about what can happen, what the outcome of their actions is. It's a heck of a drama, and that's what's makes it perfect.

BRUTAL VISERAL HONEST

Maybe I reacted to this drama in such an emotional way because our world is on fire right now. But, even if that was a factor this drama was beyond emotional & as a divorced person I could relate to the brutality that comes from being cheated on, used & ultimately cast aside. This drama correctly depicts that no one person comes out innocent no matter who is the cheater. It showed adults at their absolute worst, funny as per usual the children paid the price & the children were the only voice of reason in the drama. It was surreal to see the women make the meals, keep the house & raise the children mostly on their own again so relatable. I would suggest every married person no matter what gender or sexuality watch this drama it should be watched before anyone reacts to the ending of a marriage. It will stay with me for a very long time, no need to re-watch I won't ever forget it. The actors all did their job & I hope they were paid very well.

TLDR: Give it a shot, I think it's definitely worth watching.

From the first episode, I knew I was hooked. It has been so long since I've watched a drama that left me absolutely infuriated and agape at the actions of the characters. I remember multiple occasions where I shot up in bed screaming at my television. With so many predictable drama's these days, the world of the married is refreshingly (albeit dark) unpredictable. I think the unpredictability comes by making each character as "human" and relatable as possible. We as humans make so many different decisions over the course of our lives, and I bet that even the best of us have made bad ones. But as humans we learn and we grow. Ultimately, I think that's what I took away from this drama. I will admit the ending left me a little disappointed. I had hoped for more loose ends to be tied, but I suppose true to the nature of human life, not everything can ever be wrapped neatly in a bow. Life still moves on, and we just continue to live and learn. Long story short, I recommend this drama. Even as someone who is typically a rom-com addict, this one was a good watch.

good storyline

I have never ever seen a boy as dumb as Sun-Woo''s and Tae-Oh's boy Joon-Young😭 Apart from this, kdrama is worth the watch!🤝🏻 this drama shows what most married couples experience in real life with cheating and break ups...this drama is heartbreaking, sad but too good that I could not predict what would happen in the next episode and just kept on wanting more.....
Those who are thinking this is typical husband wife fight drama, I think you are mistaken.There's more to this drama.
The friendships were also interesting, there was betrayal there too. Such a riveting drama that I couldn't stop watching. It is definitely a must see.

Loved hating this

Watching this drama made my blood boil. I guess that was the whole reason of this drama was to despise Lee Tae Oh and I wholeheartedly did. Seeing the rollercoaster that was the divorce unfold in this and the many obstacles that Ji Sun Woo had to overcome just to keep her son infuriated me. This drama was very good in its story and the cast were extremely good at keeping you hooked on the storyline.
If there was a fault to this it would be that I would have liked to see some of the side characters storyline come to an end, as there are sooo many questions i have that are left unanswered.
Park Hae Joon does an amazing job at making you want to hate his character and even though Han So Hee is supposedly the bad guy, she makes you feel guilty for hating her characters and the struggles she goes through.
It is a hard drama to watch sometimes but it is a nice break from all the lovey dovey dramas I have been watching recently.
If you are ready to cry your heart out and it to leave you aching, this is for you.

CONFLICTING FEELING...

I started watching this drama because I was curious to know which drama had the highest ratings in South Korea, since "Queen of Tears" was breaking several ratings records, except for being the most watched drama on South Korean television, so I got curious and looked it up.
About the drama, the first episodes were breathtaking and made you shocked with each event or discovery. However, the drama lost its momentum towards the end and became a bit boring. The lesson that the drama teaches us is that we should not bear all the problems in the world on our shoulders and judge others by our own standards. Another important lesson is that sometimes stepping out of our comfort zone allows for adrenaline and excitement. However, by losing it, you also take responsibility for it and must bear the consequences.

Ok, so this is going to be my first review since I loved it so much. I didn't get bored even for a second throughout the drama because it was so much interesting and the acting is soo good to bring tears in emotional scenes. its a combination of a lot of emotions sadness, loneliness, happiness, feeling of betrayal, anger, I felt everything when I watched it. The ending is satisfying since that's what Tae Oh deserves and that ending makes us believe that the situation is obvious in real life because if they get together and gives a happy ending, it becomes an unreal situation cuz its hard for anyone to forgive at any point if anything like that happens in real life. I highly recommend this for any k drama fan and the drama deserved those ratings.

After all the drama plots I have seen (from many countries) I was very curious about this show that kept receiving the highest ratings of any Korean drama. I was glad I waited until the final show aired because it was so intense that I quickly binged it in two days.

I think the part that makes it stand out the most is the fact that after every show kept having more and more unbelievable endings /cliffhangers the NEXT show would top it again! They were not always the usual drama plots used by most screenwriters. Much of the show addressed the stereotypes and the beautiful aspects of marriage. I think the surprise was the honest way it dealt with the possible toxic aspect of breakups and betrayals.

The ONLY aspect of this show that did bother me was the way that the FL, an accomplished physician with a great reputation and well thought of by her peers, slowly sinks into a more desperate and single minded version of herself.

Each couple in the show displays various aspects of male /female expectations and miscommunications. They each offer various lessons on why it's important to be honest and upfront in a relationship vs. making assumptions and reading situations incorrectly.

I think the only person I truly felt sorry for is the psychiatrist that takes an interest in the FL and was the only example of an emotionally healthy adult who kept showing up intentionally and randomly and saving the day. He is one of the main reasons that would make watching a second season worthwhile.

TWOTM definitely is over the top and other articles have mentioned that certain episodes may trigger individuals with past psychiatric /abusive relationship/stalker/trauma issues. I can see how some scenes DEFINITELY could negatively affect someone that experienced any of those. Please be careful if you think this could be you.

Just yesterday this show received various nominations for the quality and abundance of great acting and production value. If you want to experience one of the wildest emotional rides ever watch this great adult drama.
