Inspirational

Without question, this is a high calibre, well thought out and impeccably acted drama. I love how they did away with silly tropes and that, even though we knew what ending was coming, it never felt boring or unnecessary. Kudos to the actors and those involved in any way with this drama. Bravo indeed.

My only reservation ...and it's a minor one because this wasn't truly the point of the drama...is that I never really felt the connection or chemistry between the two leads. I know we heard often enough of the ML's longstanding devotion for the FL but it wasn't something I felt beyond his loving gaze...and I'm still not sure how she went from being an appreciative friend and beneficiary of the ML's kindness and connections to being in love with him. It just didn't jive with me..in fact I felt a greater connection between her and Martin, her best friend's love interest.

I do appreciate the comraderie that grew between the wronged wife and the mistress. Lovely and so supporting and deep. To me, that was the greatest love in the tale...the unbreakable friendship between two women who should have been wary of one another.
