Excellent acting, unexceptional story

As the headline suggests. the acting in this film is generally very good, and the cast has a lot of stars like Jeon Do-yeon and Choi Min-sik who deliver characteristically excellent performances. However, the acting is really the only great thing about this film; the story isn't bad per se, but the story is about a very popular subject matter (cheating spouses) and delivers very little interesting or new takes on a common story convention. The movie is really not all that noteworthy. There have been many better films or series done on cheating spouses. As another reviewer noted, This film is more about gender roles and emasculation than it is about relationships between people, because the actual reasons for Bora (The spouse) cheating are a bit vague and her motivations for doing so are not delved into that deeply.
