A bad guy that you actually like

Even though I have seen similar tv shows and movies with abusive husbands I have to say that this somehow managed to bring something new to the scene. Let me start with the main couple first. These two had almost no chemistry and I blame mainly the FL for this because she is a bad actress. For me, she is just the typical damsel in distress that needs a knight in her life. Apart from this, we understand at the end that she never loved her husband which poses the question- Why marry him in the first place? Her personality was very boring, her expressions were really bad and some of her actions...pufff let me just leave it here. The ML was the good, kind, and " boring " guy that got cheated by his loved one because was not appreciated enough by her. I liked him a lot and his character development was good as well. I think he is the type of guy that will never get over his wife no matter what. He wanted a new start with this new woman but in my opinion, deep down he still looks on her as his ex-wife. Human emotions are complex and being with her and doing everything to save her from her husband is totally understandable. Now let's move on to my favourite character - Mari's husband. He was great on all accounts. The acting the psychological characteristics were very well portrayed. Somehow I wanted her to stay with him and properly heal the wounds from the past. The sad thing is this guy can truly change for the better and turn into a loving husband if he received love from her. He tried desperately to do that but her words and behaviour provoked him on numerous occasions. While violence against a woman is a big No, in this case, it could have been avoided by understanding him and treating him better. In my opinion, his wife was the source of his unstable behaviour that resulted in him killing himself. I don't see her as an innocent woman but rather as a cold emotionless woman. She did not deserve the love from these guys. I reallly felt dorry for the bad guy and his ending that's why the so called happy ending did not satisfy me.
