Dragging: The show was more of a drag and each episode was boring as they did not show much in one episode considering it has only 16 episodes. The makers were quick to show the EMA between Park's wife and the boss and even Lee came to know about the affair soon in the show but Park got to know it after so many episodes passed as he blindly trusted his wife then. His takes even more episodes to get to know her husband knows about her affair and then after a long time they show their confrontation.
Characters: I felt bad more for the brothers and their mother than I felt for Dong-Hoon. Even I loved the grandma of Lee. The brothers had a great bonding even though their character showed no development. I did not like the way they portrayed Dong-Hoon as he appeared to be the sacrificing goat and not a person who could do what he feels. He always wanted to stay with his wife and not tell her he knows about the affair rather than confronting her and asking her the reason. Even though he was shown to be a very good human, they took it overboard IMO. I liked the development in Lee's character and I could understand why she became what she is and how she changed after meeting Dong-Hoon while Dong-Hoon remained as it is. I liked the office employees as they showed genuine love for Dong-Hoon and their feelings were genuine. I even liked the bar friends who used to meet up at Jung-Hee's bar and the actress Yoo-ra and the way she used to curse her director was funny. I did not like Gyum-duk's character as they did not explain why he left his family and to-be bride and then come back suddenly (no clue if he really came back or just wanted to have tea and leave).
Story: The show was more based on the affair, confrontation and humiliation that the husband would have to go through rather than the leads getting to know each other. First of all, it seemed that Dong-Hoon was living with his wife more as a liability rather than love. He did not show any feelings for his wife and they used to just ask each other how was their day and what she needs to buy. No emotions at all which made her look correct for searching for love outside. May be Dong-Hoon was an introvert but what feelings he showed while meeting Lee, he never had the same feelings for his own wife and neither he could smile with her. Their son was never shown and they kept talking to him on phone. They showed in the end how much Dong-Hoon liked Lee and was worried about her and was running to find her but in the last episode when he finds her, he doesn't even express his feelings and continues staying in his loveless marriage. He doesn't care about the humiliation because he doesn't want Lee-Ji to suffer punishment but nobody asks him why, not even his wife. I did not even get why the actress broke up with Dong-Hoon's brother or was it his ego that made them split and why. No clue if Jung-Hee and the Gyum-duk were together as they never showed him there. It was too depressing to show all the characters separated from their partners and live their life miserably and of all, I mostly felt bad for Jung-Hee and Lee Ji. They should have moved on. If atleast they had to show some confrontation between Lee-Ji and Dong-Hoon where they reveal how they feel the same for each other but alas, they showed it as a one-sided love. Even his brothers knew or sensed they liked each other. They could have made him express his feelings but they were stuck in their own life.
The story was OK but not that great or unheard of and everything being based on the characters having a pitiful life and ending up being friends without them having any sort of confrontation made me find it too boring. Lee-Ji seemed more matured for her age while Dong-Hoon seemed clueless about everything till the end.
