Infuriating, but good

First, I'm often annoyed by reviews that don't recognize that this IS normal life and normal behavior for many women, especially in the Korean culture, where many women are raised from childhood to accept a particular role in life, mainly: wife, mother, caregiver, til death. If you want a powerhouse woman who kicks arse and takes names, stay away from dramas that depict real life scenarios, even ones that ruffle your feathers. And, for goodness sakes, stop ruining dramas for everyone else. They're called DRAMAS, people, they're supposed to push the envelope, border on insane, break our hearts, or leave us jumping for joy, and maybe even give us new ways of thinking, doing, and feeling.

Dr. Cha is a strong woman that survived a very harsh and broken marriage to stand on her own two feet and create a good life for herself. If one has ever been through a breakup, it's not something you do easily and it's definitely something you can go back and forth over. If I don't get agitated, frustrated, or downright angry watching a drama of this nature, it wouldn't be worth my time. The reason kdrama has become an international success is because of their cultural content. Yes, I wanted to strangle the husband and pimp slap the mistress, yes, I wanted to shake Dr. Cha... THAT'S the way we are supposed to feel, that's what makes it good, not the opposite.

The only thing missing was the romantic ending with fine Dr. Kimberly, but even that is understandable, since Dr. Cha's character is a very conservative woman who sees dating/marrying a younger man as untraditional. Just the fact that she overcame so much and came out whole is the biggest takeaway from this drama, and something everyone can and should root for.
