An astonishing Kdrama, only marred by the inability to edit the very many lengthy and unnecessary subplots that the writer kept throwing in right up to the end, with the sick child of a fellow prisoner.
A story that opened with GRIEF. The death of a child, an only child in a comfortable married couple's life and the way each of them coped or rather didn't cope. This led to the husband having an affair with a young work colleague and hating his wife, the eventual divorce. The now ex-wife spiralling into despair, false death and four years of amnesia. They meet again accidentally, and the ex does not recognise the husband, but he slowly falls in love with her again and pursues her relentlessly, realising that he had never stopped loving her. Eventually, they (after about 35 episodes of will they/won't they) get back together.
There is the usual Conglomerate, chaebols, stock, shares, business, Elders, in-laws, etc, machine in the background working against the renewal of the relationship, stealing, lying, dodgy business deals.
An interesting insight this time was the introduction of a middle-aged person with Dementia.
There were several children very active in the Drama and simply disappeared for the last 15 episodes! Why? Everyone is linked to everyone either via marriage or sibling, or just the water boy's father is linked via... not sure...oh yeah, the driver of the car that killed the child way back at the beginning of this saga. And everyone eventually gets a partner/wife/husband for a HEA. Please clap.
The ML was 100% the star when it came to acting. That man can act! Very emotive at every level. The FL is about 95%. Just couldn't warm to her. Could think of other actresses who would have played the role better.
It is a rollercoaster ride of emotions in the lead relationship as the two so obviously love each other and have such a depth of history. But the display of anger and hate right next to support for each other is very real. Not to forget, the trigger is the death of their 4-year-old child.
Have taken a star off for the tedious length of this Kdrama. Why was it necessary to drag this to 50 episodes baffles me. 30ep at the most, 35ep with a push. Boredom and viewing exhaustion set in heavily after 30 episodes.

This is a long Drama series. 50 episodes. Don't know what the other reviewers were watching, as I cannot understand them wittering on about disrespecting elders and adult children with no manners. The elders in this series were crabby, rude, dogmatic, selfish, unkind, interfering and in some cases extremely overbearing, unpleasant, cantankerous to the point of verging on senility! If there were a scriptwriters' handbook on how to write a negative representation of Elders and parents, it was all used in this K-Drama! The three daughters were not perfect, and negative things kept happening as they tried hard to cope with life and love as they grew up. Some of the catastrophes were of their own making. Often, they made silly, immature decisions based on not upsetting their father or their aunties.
Opening dramatically with the death of their mother, who, it turns out, was trying to scam their father while she ran off with her lover but karma struck and she died instead! The girls' father is living in la la land, going on and on about being from a noble family when he is unblocking toilets for a living, and judging others as not being good enough for his daughters. He says no, far more than yes, and then changes his mind frequently.
The sisters are completely different characters, which drives the story. Basically, all with good hearts and loyal to each other and the family in general. We see them grow, get married, get divorced, remarry and move on with lives, jobs, careers like most people. Although they disagree and occasionally argue, they have each other's backs regardless.
The homes vary from modest, tiny studios to a palatial house, meant to reflect the status. However, they become claustrophobic to look at. The wardrobe director/designer did a very poor job on all the women's outfits. They looked dowdy throughout both clothes and shoes, even the men's suits looked cheap and tacky. Cinematography was very limited.
The sisters' aunties are a great touch, instead of mothers. Although sisters, they are like chalk and cheese! One sensible with property and the other carefree and wild, who has no hesitation in speaking her mind publicly and frequently.
The eventual sons-in-law are also very different in financial backgrounds and careers.
Non Asian viewers may find the principle of honouring parents a bit ludicrous when the girls are obvious adults (two in their 40s) and should be able to speak their minds and not permit the verbal abuse from obnoxious Elder persons. As well as the bizarre requirement to obtain permission from a parent or elder brother for marriage.
This series was on the OK scale, not one that I would watch again. There was a lot that could have been deleted, and it was written as filler to really drag out the story. Can I recommend this? No. Not particularly. Too many other far better K-dramas out there.
Watched in Korean audio and English subtitles.
