Show Premise: Four very different women are in different stages of their romantic relationships. Some are married with cheating husbands and crazy kids and some are just trying to get there.
Why I Chose This Show: I usually like shows that have multiple couples, not just two, because it's always so interesting to me how the writers create and resolve the relationships. The character development for shows like this are, also, usually very good.
After watching the first episode, you know exactly where each woman stands in her current relationship.
First there is Ji Hye 'The Dreamer' who is in Jae ju when she meets a handsome stranger, Hyun Woo, and spends three fun and romantic days with, sleeping with him the night before she heads back to Seoul. When she gets there, her fiance, Tae Wook, is waiting for her. She is looking for an ideal love, and will have to just settle for one of these super hot guys instead.
Then there is Hye Jung 'The Good Wife' who is married to Tae Wook's older brother. The first time we see them she is walking into a bedroom where is is asleep with another woman. She doesn't yell or even reprimand him, she just calmly lays out his clothes.
I think this couple is going to upset me the most, because she is so timid and lifeless and her husband doesn't seem to give a crap about her feelings. If she doesn't leave him immediately, there better be a really good reason why.
Third is Eun Hee 'The Clueless One' whose husband is condescending to her and their two children, even though she loves him so very much. She watches dramas and yells at the screen with food shoved in her mouth and curlers in her hair, and is probably supposed to represent the woman that 'let's herself go' after marriage.Her husband speaks in English to his girlfriend, in front of Eun Hee, because he knows that she can't understand him.
I hope she and the kids learn English and take him down a peg. Also looks like she might take care of the comedic relief with her air-head ways.
Lastly, there is Ji Sun, who as far as I can tell is 'The Fishwife'. Yelling and causing a scene wherever she goes, disregarding her husband.
I think that this couple will be really interesting to watch, because so often we see crappy husbands, and to see the reverse and how they develop, that will be worth watching.
This is supposed to run for 32 or more episodes, so I'm hoping that the writer will have enough to make this a really good show, about love and relationships. I'm also interested in how all the women will interact with each other, with such different personalities. So far I'm intrigued, let's see where this goes...
