Makjang vibes without the makjang lol

really mature themes explored, seriously flawed characters, and perfectly executed through 16 episodes.
i love how it has the 'makjang vibes' but it is still rather realistic and mature- it's not just some sadistic kid writing his nightmares - instead it was layered really well, it felt so real it was kinda scary.
Overall a really great psychological breakdown of the patriarchal society in Korea and how marriages look like behind closed doors.
I especially love how they explore the taboo of divorce. Most people think that divorce as an easy way out of the troubles of a broken marriage, but actually divorce itself is such a hassle and has its own troubles too.

this show is not my usual cup of tea and this is definitely not a feel-good drama, but this is nevertheless a well-written drama that explores the worst of humanity- which always serves as a good time of reflection :)
