Sooo I finally watched this one! Let's say that EVERYONE around me recommended it, and well, it had huge ratings!
I had high expectations because of this, and overall it was an enjoyable drama. I got out of my comfort zone -as I never cared a lot about the family, romance, melodramatic content..- but this one was definitely worth it for starters.
This show really got on my nerves, I couldn't stand most of the characters (to not say any). But, I'm glad things got better by the final episodes and Sunwoo got the peace of mind she deserved (well, in the last scene literally). Also, glad that her friends got their happy endings!
I did get annoyed @ the writers because many things felt too unreal to be true. I mean, I know Korea is indeed a conservative nation but I hardly think people are THIS opposed to the idea of a couple divorcing, right? Plus, we get to see the trope of the child being forced not to see his other side of the family because their parents get divorced, which is ridiculous...
And speaking of their son (Joonyoung), I literally hated him so much. You can't be this naive, you're a grown up already! He just.. completely ignored the fact that his dad was abusive and hated his mom just 'cause she was a little overprotective. What the hell? And then.. he just changed his mind one second to another because his father hit him, then going back to his mom just like that..? Their parents were too good on him honestly. I would've lost my shit, I swear.
But again, he did have some good character development, so I'm happy with that.
I ended up pitying Tae-Oh. Which is weird because he is an awful person. I'm glad Dakyung moved on, though it doesn't seem like she actually learned anything at all, lmao. But I guess to each their own. We never got to see what happened with their baby, though. Lol.
I'm sad we didn't see Hyunseo in the last episodes, I wish she had continued her relationship with Sunwoo because they make a great team (-also, such a relief to know that her toxic ex boyfriend is rotting in hell!).
And finally, about Yoonki, I'm actually happy that he didn't end up with Sunwoo. I mean, it looks like they would be an awesome couple, but I think what Sunwoo needed the most was to love herself and not depend on other people to feel enough. Ultimately, I think that's the message the staff behind The World of the Married wanted to give: marrying isn't the only option you have in life. You don't need a person next to you to feel fulfilled. You ARE enough!
8.5/10
