Reality , BitterSweet Romance

I notice many were disappointed in the choices Jung Hee-Joo made with her affair, however, the reality is we can not control who we fall in love with . Sometimes, we are stuck in a situation and stay in a marriage for conveniences. I felt her love for Woo Jae was beautiful , we all desire someone whom we can be our-self with, she shined brightly with him. However, she did have a greed and he reminded her of her poor self and didn't want to be with someone poor, she had goals and a family. She abandoned love for her goals but is that always the best decision?

Though Woo Jae was erratic and reckless, he was passionate .Someone who is stuck in a boring situation will be drawn to someone like him easily. I would have like too actually see them both run off together. People sacrifice a lot for their family which we tend to find admirable in society , however, all the sacrifices we make, if you still feel empty or desire more, is it all really worth it ? We still need to be happy in the end and do what is best for us. I don't believe her love and past with Woo Jae was a mistake or moment of weakness . I believe she found what she was lacking in life within Woo Jae. Sadly, his love turn into obsession but I still empathized with his character because to have someone just abandon you ( throw you away like a used toy) after you gave up everything for them - move to another country and they made you feel special , could make anyone become a little crazed and confused momentarily . ( Kim Jae-young acting was really good, I want to see him in more lead roles , I became lost in his character )

I knew from the start a main lead would die in the story, because this is the way life events normally turn out or someone end up in jail or hurt badly. As she looked out into water in the end, I wonder if her thoughts were of her love she had for him. And if so, she will spend rest of her life thinking about him. That love , she would never be able to escape will be mixed with more regret and sorrow.

I'm heartbroken for Woo Jae ending. No justice for him . However, im going to watch it again! overall I loved it
