Okay, so this show me to the edge of my sanity. Which is most definitely an ode to the writers. I put off watching this show for so long because I hate seeing affairs out but with the wife rebounding per the show description, I gave it a whirl.
Overall, it was a good story. Definitely an unflinching look at an affair and possible repercussions. There were some things that were lacking to me though.
Ah Zhen- She was perfect to a fault. A good & dutiful wife but her drab looks and being a doormat made her a little undesirable. Regardless, her husband seemed totally into her and reassured her about her dry looks. I was totally disappointed when I saw the reason for her make over was to get her husband back. Why tf would she still want him? I had hoped it was to get her self esteem back to restart her life (which ultimately it was). I'd disagree with calling her a fierce wife, even at her strongest she was still seemed to lack confidence. But considering where she started from, I was proud of how far she came. She let go of her anger and came out a new person for herself & her child.
Wen Rui Fan- What a disgusting piece of crap. There was nothing appealing about that cousin that would have lured him away from his wife. She was immature and had nothing going for herself. He was happy one day and supposedly unsatisfied the next. There should have been a more believable reason for his cheating. What was also unbelievable was how cold he was toward his wife! She never treated him wrong, so how he could be so cruel and uncaring toward her blew my mind. It made me sick to my stomach when he forced his wife to sign divorce papers in her hospital bed.
It also blew my mind that he never left Wei En. She showed how selfish she was and even dangerous toward his child and he always made excuses! What the heck?! He was the worst character I've seen in a while. Oh! And to move back in with the ex-wife with his mistress?! He didn't care about Ah Zhen at all.
Wei En- This b&%$. How she could come into that home & have no issue destroying it was insane. And I actually like that nothing the husband did was good enough for her and she ultimately left him. He deserved that. I don't like that they tried to make us believe we should be sympathetic towards her for breaking up her cousin's marriage. She went in with intentions to destroy and she did. A lot of people have past trauma and don't enact it on people in their present. It was incredible how she started o think she was the victim.

Liked the supporting cast and that they spit truth to the cheating husband. Also liked they stayed by the wife's side through it all.
