Short Synopsis: Ae-ra is a local beauty that took her mom's advise about the kind of man to marry seriously by falling in love and marrying Jung-woo, a geeky computer engineer studying to enter civil service. She happily kept home for her husband but at their 100th day wedding anniversary, Jung-woo resigned from his job and set up his own business. with Jung-woo's business struggling, Ae-ra made ends meet by
working multiple jobs. After suffering a tragic event from the stress of
being the sole breadwinner and living in poverty, Ae-ra divorces
Jung-woo after four years of marriage. Three years after the divorce,
Ae-ra finds out that Jung-woo became successful and wealthy, while she
is still paying debts. The fun begins
when Ae-ra schemes for revenge, while Jung-woo believes that Ae-ra
wants him back because he has become wealthy.
given the storyline that you read above, we all know that even if they are already divorced in the story, they would eventually get back together and live happily ever after. and that's the reason why i'm in this, any romantic comedy that has something to do with marriage then i'm in! i'm already looking forward to seeing jealousy, rekindling of attraction and desires, being drawn to each other against their better judgement... aaahhh*spazzing*... love always finds a way... i'm too cheesy it's giving me goosebumps*toinks!*
this drama could do without some of the characters*a tad too many if you ask me*, they seem unnecessary in the story but the second lead guy and girl are a very welcome addition. Their own issues added more drama, fun and excitement in the lives of our ex-lovers*as if dont have more than enough of that as it is*.
And what about Ae-ra's family, now they're an interesting bunch ^^ her mom... so capable and wise and yet so putty in the hands of her aging lothario of a husband*we all have an Achilles heel*. Back to mom... one of my fave scenes was when she lashed out at Jung-woo for the way he treated her daughter... so fierce, like a lioness protecting her cub!
i love Jung-woo and Ae-ra and the actors that portrayed them. HE is so dashing as a CEO and so funny and dorky when he is with Ae-ra and lets his guard down. Behind his cool, polished and sophisticated exterior is still the same awkward geek. The storyline and these two leads are the reason why i have a very strong feeling that this is one of those very few dramas that i will watch over and over and over again! In fact, i have already revisited it twice!
im happy that issues did not drag for too long to affect the flow of the story and they were able to wrap-up all the loose-ends nicely... well, except for one... Ae-ra's in-laws and their opinion of her. where's the justice in that? Apart from that, i give this drama a two thumbs up 👍👍
