Infidelity and Love Triangles dressed up as a Gangster Movie
This is a really odd drama but at its heart it is not an action packed noir gangster movie, I mean it is but thats not what its actually about.
Its really about a married couple slowly being driven apart by the demands of ML work and the FLs infidelity with her ex.
The biggest plot is the FLs devotion to and her desire to protect, her undercover cop husband shifting in every way to instead being her devotion to and desire to protect her ex bf first love and oh yes the gangster her hubby is trying to bring down.
Its kinda makjang really.
Of course to make it seem less simple the ML is presented with a love interest of sorts. (He cant really avoid her or he blows his cover).
It is clear though that what this story is about is the FL and the ex rekindling their first love and the FL cheating on the ML basically in front of him and slowly revealing to him and us and herself that she loves the other guy more.
If you enjoy that sort of angsty torture good for you. I certainly do not.
On the plus for this mess of a drama i do admire the ingenious and different than the usual weary disfunctional domestic scenario this tired plot was wrapped in.
The last scene where the ML alone visits the grave and sees his wife has already been there alone and left flowers and the symbol of her love for the 2ML (she waved it in his face throughout) and then leaves his wedding ring tells you exactly what this show was really all about.
