The World of the Married (2020)

Watch this drama why...because you won't regret it

I've watched this drama since it had come out but I didn't get to do a review on it so here's my thoughts on this drama.
I was very skeptical at first to watch this drama when it had first made my presents.
Then I gave it a try because many thought it was a great series so I did too.
Turns out this is a very interesting drama to watch.Every second you watch it the more you want to know.It's a very eye opening as well.I couldn't sleep for days because all I could think about is what will happen next.
I was very annoyed at times ,and angry.This is the very first drama I've ever watched that was this intense for a very real life/world experience .Most times i wanted to punch the screen and other times I was sitting there with a grin on my face smiling.It was new and loved it.I'm sure you'll love it too if you watch it.I was very much satisfied with the ending.Overall if you're looking for a drama not like the others with a strong female lead that will do anything to get what she wants ,a male lead who is not such a gentleman as he is suppose to be then this is definitely the drama for you.No spoilers in this review but all I can say is watch this drama and if you like it then I will recommend other ones as this one.

Never believed that a show can affect my daily life negatively

I have quite the diverse taste in shows, this one was so highly recommended, but sadly, apart from the excellent acting, it was just a combination of everything I cannot sit through. I pushed through for a few episodes, wanting to see what must be the reason behind so many people liking it. None for me.

All I got from this show was a spike in anxiety and negativity in my own life, thanks to the irritating, constant suspense music, the unrealistic bouquet of back-to-back moments of injustice and 0, absolutely 0 (at least semi-)adequate communication from (again) at least one or two characters in the whole show.

I wouldn't mind watching a story that is more of a psychological thriller, but the world-building simply isn't believable if it's not balanced out with some humane, lighter sides of the characters. A world with such an unhealthy communication amongst ALL 15 or more characters simply seems impossible to exist to this extent. For this reason it felt more fantasy-like than Star Wars. And on top of that, the low vibes of it, slithered into my daily life.

Dropping it gladly.

I think makers of this drama should have made Original Doctor foster
It is a remake but is 100 times better than original series. I can't comment on story because original story is taken out of Doctor Foster english series and have had 2 remakes one is Indian and nother is this one and all three of them are highly successfull.
Lead actress has potrayed the characyter so well. Throughout the drama you ll at first love her for the brave choices she made but later on you will get dissapointed in her because she can't let go off the last bit of feelings she has for her ex husband. But that's what life is nobody is perfect.
This drama even though adultary and married life is involved is really never about them but in actual it's an intense thriller. I wont be shocked if this drama soon replace SKY castle fromm its highest rating position.

What a wonderful plot!!! So intense... so cruel... so real!!!
That’s not just fantasy...That’s real life!
Abusive relationships... mad love... selfish actions... revenge... so many elements, bad or good, from those who ever proved that crazy feeling... LOVE
Unfortunately, I met a lot of families that lived the same. The little line between love and hate... that express the feeling that make us blind, crazy and selfish. Love, for sure.
The love that never fade away ...
Well... I can’t give spoilers but this show, for sure, deserves all glory and attention!
What a wonderful cast! Hands down

I know the series is not yet in the finale, but just wanting to share my comments so far.
I sentence can describe this series: Everyone is crazy!!! The husband is crazy like is he even a human being? WOW!! Every episode will make your blood boils!!! I hate every single character!!! So far, the most hated for me is the husband and the so-called best friend of the first legal wife!!! B*ch!!! Sorry for my language!!!


So far, this is all I can review for at least 7 episodes.
If I can edit this review, I can comment on my insights for the whole series.
I get it why even RM can't finish this series.

a captivating watch!

When I first heard about this show, I immediately thought it wasn't it for me. This was because I'm not a fan of melodrama or shows revolving around infidelity + I wasn't familiar with the cast. However, as the show progressed and received very high ratings, I couldn't help but feel the need to start it. After just one episode, I was completely hooked. Despite feeling my blood boil, I couldn't help but crave for more. The World Of Married is very carefully written and is a complete masterpiece. It shows the dark side of reality and holds very flawed characters. These last 8 episodes have held more substance than 95% of full-length asian dramas I have seen. Each episode is a rollercoaster of emotions and will leave you thinking. No show has ever messed with my emotions in this manner! I am in absolute awe of how the writers managed to execute this show. I am writing this review at the show's half-point of airing, and to be honest, I really have no idea what these next 8 episodes are about to hold...

All the characters in the drama are very raw, and really show how humans may behave when driven by anger and revenge. It really made me realize how people with the most seemingly perfect lives can become insane in a matter of seconds. The show also made me think about real life and wonder how traumatic cheating can be for some women and children. The writers of this show really managed to create a very thought-provoking drama!

Overall, I would recommend this if you are a fan of psychological mature shows. It is a heavy watch, and I think you need to be in the right mood to enjoy it. Some people were left too enraged and ended up dropping it, so be cautious of that!

O drama retrata um assunto que vem sendo mais mostrado atualmente, que é o casamento e seu significado, fugindo do fofo e confortavel ele segue o caminho totalmente contrario. A historia em si é muito interessante, cada episodio acontece incontaveis coisas, por vezes nem mesmo dando a chance do telespectador respirar antes de ser atacado por reviravolta atrás da outra. O tema, acredito eu, que bem trabalhado, porém, as vezes parece fugir um pouco da realidade para deixar ainda mais dramático do que seria em uma situação real, a situação toda já é muito dramática, e com um empurrãozinho o desconforto pode ser grande, acompanhado pela raiva que com certeza aparecerá, mas isso traz um tempero a mais na história e aciona a curiosidade sobre o futuro. Os personagens foram bem criados e desenvolvidos, tendo suas evoluções coerentes, se mostrando bem vivos e com uma historia propria para cuidar, sem ser escondidos completamente pela protagonista. A personagem principal é o tipo de mulher forte que dá orgulho de ver, forte, dona de si que faria de tudo pelo seu filho, mas ainda assim mostrando seu lado humano que vacila e sofre.
As músicas combinavam bastante com as situações, tirando algumas vezes que sua utilização era meio desnecessária, ainda assim sendo muito boas e casando com os cenários e fotografia.

3 episodes. Only 3 episodes. It took only 3 episodes for me to rate and review this drama. No wonder its currently on the top spot in South Korea. This is a mature drama for a mature audience and mature audience only. This not for those looking for a handsome oppa or looking for a latest crash. This is a drama addressing real life issues and challenges in matrimony. This drama focuses on infidelity and divorce and these are very deep and heavy subjects.
If you want a wake up call and face reality away from all the drool and ogling then this the drama to watch. If you are looking for eye candy i suggest you look for Lee Min Ho 's current drama. I bet there is a lot of eye candy there.
So if you are into mature real life drama then grab a box of tissues and a tub of ice cream. I think my heart stopped numerous times watching just these 3 episodes and i know there is more heartbreak in store for me.
I will be updating this post as my binge watch progresses. I will not start a new review all together.
Enjoy...oops better i say watch your heart and remember to pick up your jaw from the ground. These 3 episodes had my jaw locked in open position.

a gripping and chaotic story.

watched this with mom and she's so picky, but she was hooked! and honestly me too.

While I was a bit hesitant in the beginning, I was receiving a couple of confusing vibes from it, it felt like it was going in circles longer than it was necessary, but then started progressing in an interesting and well structured pace so while I kept watching and enjoying it more and more, then I found myself loving the dialogues and how well and intricate the scenes looked and felt as a whole, everything was calculated and had a purpose, so it was an effective development between the story and the characters.

The themes were very interesting and while some people may find it a bit niche in the end I think it leaves a mark, in the way relationships and break ups can have a huge impact and it's like a butterfly effect, and when there are kids and a family in the middle of a transitional period it can be very tricky to manage, revenge, power, egos, trust and personal habits can get in the way, and if those involved get blindsided... things can quickly go wrong and turn dangerous, it made me think about how important is to choose our families and our close community who are meant to be a support, it was complex and it was showcased in a very interesting and nuanced way, I really liked it.

Cinematography, music, and acting were truly so good, from the colorful sceneries to the rough winter scenes, the styling and settings, the beautiful somber music and everyone who worked hard to convey their characters, bravo.

It all came together and while this may not be a story for everyone, I found it gripping and suspenseful, i think it's worth watching and really enjoyable, I'll recommend this in the future.

Sooo I finally watched this one! Let's say that EVERYONE around me recommended it, and well, it had huge ratings!
I had high expectations because of this, and overall it was an enjoyable drama. I got out of my comfort zone -as I never cared a lot about the family, romance, melodramatic content..- but this one was definitely worth it for starters.

This show really got on my nerves, I couldn't stand most of the characters (to not say any). But, I'm glad things got better by the final episodes and Sunwoo got the peace of mind she deserved (well, in the last scene literally). Also, glad that her friends got their happy endings!

I did get annoyed @ the writers because many things felt too unreal to be true. I mean, I know Korea is indeed a conservative nation but I hardly think people are THIS opposed to the idea of a couple divorcing, right? Plus, we get to see the trope of the child being forced not to see his other side of the family because their parents get divorced, which is ridiculous...
And speaking of their son (Joonyoung), I literally hated him so much. You can't be this naive, you're a grown up already! He just.. completely ignored the fact that his dad was abusive and hated his mom just 'cause she was a little overprotective. What the hell? And then.. he just changed his mind one second to another because his father hit him, then going back to his mom just like that..? Their parents were too good on him honestly. I would've lost my shit, I swear.
But again, he did have some good character development, so I'm happy with that.

I ended up pitying Tae-Oh. Which is weird because he is an awful person. I'm glad Dakyung moved on, though it doesn't seem like she actually learned anything at all, lmao. But I guess to each their own. We never got to see what happened with their baby, though. Lol.
I'm sad we didn't see Hyunseo in the last episodes, I wish she had continued her relationship with Sunwoo because they make a great team (-also, such a relief to know that her toxic ex boyfriend is rotting in hell!).

And finally, about Yoonki, I'm actually happy that he didn't end up with Sunwoo. I mean, it looks like they would be an awesome couple, but I think what Sunwoo needed the most was to love herself and not depend on other people to feel enough. Ultimately, I think that's the message the staff behind The World of the Married wanted to give: marrying isn't the only option you have in life. You don't need a person next to you to feel fulfilled. You ARE enough!

8.5/10
