The main thing many people have missed is that the characters Hee-joo and Hyeon-seong were ready to move on from the incident. Hyeon-seong was aware that he got cheated on, and yet he knew his wife regretted it and chose to move on. In the last scene where Woo-jae tells Hee-joo her husband was the one who crashed into him in the car incident, she tells him that it's not true, which felt like she said it to protect him. These two characters were protecting each other, after all, they raised children and they were a married couple who were together for many years, no matter what happened. Woo-jae was only a puppet in this story, who was selfish enough to not realize the consequences of the affair, even if it continued. Before he died, he told Hee-joo that her husband was the one who crashed into him, and when the answer he got didn't satisfy him he got furious. He wanted to have a relationship with Hee-joo, as he said so before as well. His tries didn't end up how he wanted it to, like the time when Hee-joo acted for the car camera and showed the recording to stop working together. This led him to be so furious that he wanted to kill Hee-joo because he wasn't satisfied. Like all the characters, he had very bad actions. Considering that he figured out Hyeon-seong wanted to kill him during the car incident when he crashed into him, it's not unlikely that he wanted to get some form of revenge. Regardless, it seemed like he did all of this just to be together with Hee-joo. No matter what happened between Hee-joo and Woo-jae, Hyeon-seong still wanted to move on. It doesn't matter what choice he makes in the end, as he can decide to continue the relationship with Hee-joo and no one can say anything about it. Hae-won wanted revenge, so it started bothering her when she saw that their relationship wasn't falling apart, so she had to ruin it. It didn't seem like she caused most of what happened, as it was somehow going to happen anyway, but it could have turned out to be better in the end had she not interfered. She was the cause of many of this. Maybe she did believe that Woo-jae was going to change at first, but then as time went on, she realized that he didn't. So she gave up on him and wasn't too upset when he died as well. Sure, she did seem to get a better ending, but it doesn't seem like she can live a happy life anymore, and she sacrificed her happiness because she wanted to get revenge. I do think that it would have been better if she had given up midway through and watched how Woo-jae acted if he hadn't died, and how Hee-joo and Hyeon-seong were going to deal with it. But Woo-jae was the puppet of the story anyway. Hee-joo did everything to protect her family after cheating, even if she wasn't the best mom or she had bad actions like everyone else. Great acting though.

By episode 8, I asked myself «What are you doing, watching this?!». The Mr. Seo character, the Woman in the green coat and the overall strange vibe, made me quit watching. I'm not a bit curious about how it all ends. The mentioned Mr. Seo is so boring and without any charisma at all. Why does the Woman in the green coat bother to wait for someone like him?! He did'nt seem any more interesting before his accident either. No one in this show seem to behave like a normal person would, so it all ends up being just too many weird people and subplots. And they all seem to be at the same place at the same time, for some reason. I have seen this in so many shows, and it would be fine if they all lived in a small village, but they do not. Even the music is wrong...

One of the best K dramas if not the best in my opinion that I've seen. I'm not into romcoms and this definitely had some romance but not in a corny way. This show was totally what I was looking for. From beginning to the end.. constant edge of your seat thriller with everything else mixed in. The actors were incredible, the scenery was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking as if you were actually there. I binge watched this show and finished it in 2 days. I couldn't stop watching because I had to know what was going to happen next. I didn't want it to end :( I'm looking for another thriller such as this one to binge on. LOVE, LOVE this show. Highly recommend!

The characters were its biggest downfall. All the characters were insane, demented, deranged and devoid of integrity. There was no layers to their madness. You'll have to humanize them first before stripping it away. Skipping the first step would devalue their actions and take away from the watching experience. Aside from the characters, the drama was excruciatingly slow for no apparent reason other than filling the contracted runtime. Slow burners are acceptable when they serve a purpose to either immerse the viewers into its world or to seamlessly build up the tension. The drama failed to do either. The twists were overdone for the sake of it rather than adding to the narrative meaningfully. Even then, they weren't appealing nor interesting. Once the memory was restored the drama took a sharp and sudden turn for the worst going against what it tried to build up to, this includes the ending. One more thing, there was an attempt to have a play on artistic symbolism but none of which landed well. Partially because of the two aforementioned points.

Among many K-dramas, though this one contains some melodramatic elements which do not always add up, it tells a story about choices, lust, and the question about what's right and wrong. Yes, it gets painfully slow at times, and I confessed that I fast-forwarded some parts when binge-watching several episodes in a row. All in all, the acting of the leading actress, (played by Hyundai-Jung Go) and the chemistry between she and the young artist (played by Jae-young Kim) is quite good. I enjoyed watching it because the emotions and the choices that the characters had and presented reminded me of myself when I was younger. I seemed to be at least once involved in part of the choices they made, such as not letting go of a long-term relationship, getting over a fling, being betrayed or once believing that my love for someone so firmly almost to the extent of irrationality and madness, and the extreme raw emotions and the aching of having to live without him or her. Or for example, one of the characters would rather her ex-lover died long ago then being in a coma and returned. These aspects are well-acted out in this drama. It is certainly not to be compared to the movie, The Piano (1993), in every aspect, but the haunting tune that it left is quite similar to me. You couldn't help but wonder, what kind of choices you would have made if you were them. Why were we sometimes attracted to someone when you knew you should not? What is right and what is wrong? Eventually, all the choices we made led up to where we are now. All the actions and inaction have come to an end for some in this drama.

It started as a captivating story, but the bitter, self-pitying, vengeful Ms. Gu's twisted reasoning and plots just dragged on and on. Basically, everyone had to be punished and had to suffer forever because the man she loved, never really loved her and was unfaithful. One could have felt sorry for Ms Gu in the beginning, but her exagerated self-pity and twisted manipulation of absolutely everyone, even the man she professed to love, was just exhausting! I had to skip to the end after about episode 11/12 and it was a really disappointing ending. Don't bother.

I did enjoy watching this drama it was until almost the end so kept me wanting to watch more. I like watching these type of dramas. However the ending was a little disappointing. I really hope there will be a season 2 so that they'll continue the story and finish it off with a more satisfying ending.

This has to be the most dragged on show I've ever watch, not to mention every episode is an hour and change. Literally every character is UNLIKEABLE in this dragged on show. Even Goo Hae, I tried to like her because she didn't deserve what happened to her but she's just dumb and pathetic I hate that she's only going after Jeong Hae and not Seo Woo she needs to go after him as well he made her wait a very long time plus, he wasn't coming back she had to find him. Even after all this she still choose to remarry him when he obviously doesn't want to be with her.. Lisa.. is very annoying, immature I wished she got slapped harder, literally every episode she's gets meaner, I skipped forward when she was on screen. Don't get me started on the little boy he's even more annoying they should've just kidnapped him ( they did ) and keep him, he plays his role very well. This show is VERY slow but it's not boring, I'm currently on episode thirteen and I don't plan on watching anymore of this show I can't take it. I only made it this far because Seo Woo is cute. 7/10 it's not bad just long and slow.

Have you ever watched something where so many characters are moody, dysfunctional, or downright incapable of normal behaviors? The actor "Mr. Seo" character is Korea's answer to Keanu Reeves: talk about zero range. This was a bad deal all around. Watching it, I really could care less about any of the leads.

You either love it or you don't. I thought the beginning was nice and dark enough. But the last episodes were depressing , too bad. I would have preferred a happy ending. But that's my taste:)
