Ji Sun-Woo (Kim Hee-Ae) is a family medicine doctor. She is married to Lee Tae-Oh (Park Hae-Joon) and they have a son. She seems to have everything, including a successful career and a happy family, but she is betrayed by her husband and others.
Meanwhile Lee Tae-Oh dreams of becoming a famous movie director. He runs an entertainment business with the support of his wife Ji Sun-Woo. Even though he loves his wife, Lee Tae-Oh falls into a dangerous relationship.
After watching the last episode of current hottest drama last night - The World Of The Married, I was alittle disappointed on how the ending panned out. Given the roller coaster ride this drama had given us right from the first episode, the ending was somehow subdued and almost anti-climax.
As much as I know it is impossible but I was still rooting for Kim Yoon-Ki, that he would end up with Ji Sun-Woo, considering how much care and concern that he had for her and was always there supporting her at her lowest point. And its somehow strange that he was present at the dinner gathering to celebrate the "reunion" for Ye Rim and Je Hyuk - were they friends in the first place?
Min Hyun-Seo was such a good friend that I felt almost sorry that she left. As far as I can see, Kim Yoon-Ki and Min Hyun-Seo were the only 2 good characters in the show and I was hoping that there would be lovely closures for each of them. Well, at least Min Hyun Seo escaped from her abusive boyfriend although he died from a supposingly suicide attempt ( we never know if its really true though ) and that made her sad.
As strangely as it sounds, all the other characters remain as good friends despite the betrayals, hurt and pain inflicted on one another.
To be honest, would you be able to remain good friends with the guy who had a one night stand with your wife, or remain as best buddies with your girlfriend who condone the affair that your husband had, and even went on a trip with them behind your back? And how does Lee Joon-Young survive one whole year outside without money and contact with his parents?
Overall, The World Of The Married is such a thought-provocating drama - its relatable and shows how damaging a divorce is, not only affecting just the couple but everyone in the family, especially the child who may be too young to understand.
I like that Ji Sun-Woo remains as strong as ever, from before to after the divorce, she stands tall and refuses to back down.
You should’ve… taught your daughter to be more careful. She shouldn’t have touched someone else’s husband. She shouldn’t make moves on a man with a kid. No matter how easy you are, only terrible people… break up someone else’s family.
I heard you got married, but you don’t look happy for some reason. I guess I can understand. A man who cheated once…will most likely cheat again.
I enjoyed listening to this instrumental song which summed up all my feelings for the show. Unlike those who watched it, I was mostly sad rather than being angry. My tears rolled when I saw her walking into the sea, attempting suicide while feeling her pain. I was touched to see how anxious Kim Yoon Ki was for her and really hoped for the best for the both of them.
