How to move on from heartbreak as an adult

The English title is an awful fit (I don't understand the connection anyway), but the drama is great. The child actors were doing exactly what they should be doing. The older child was incredibly suitable to play the confused overly emotional and sensitive child, and she made a wonderful job of showing how she grew up during the show. She ended up being more mature than her own father. The women did a great job, but I agree that the whole domestic violence issue was not playing a large part in the story at first, which made it seem like it wasn't a big deal. The end of the show does improve on that. Although I was one of many to expect the IT partner to be the main female lead's new partner, it seemed the show changed their mind halfway through. I'm actually quite glad about that, as the new hot pot guy was absolutely hilarious to me, and such a good fit with the female lead when it comes to chemistry, but especially character: playful, smart in business, but kind. All the things the female lead actually needed from her husband but stopped receiving. He was also pretty dang cute. And also ripped (but in a healthy way not the (seemingly) narcissistic way that FL's husband was). I loved how he took her negative feedback on his stinginess and made it into a strength of "worth the money". Aside, I thought the IT partner was actually pretty boring for the female lead: I never really understood what his personality was supposed to be like, and I think maybe that's why they went in another direction. The brother of the FL was a great addition, love to see healthy masculinity. I was hooked from start to finish. The ending was strong with a "everyone gets what they deserve" ending, which isn't very realistic but it suited the show. I enjoyed this very much.
