    adultery / cheating ....always ends bad.
    Some good performance. korean dramas are very well written and performed well. and also good direction. there are many movies about "cheating wife" came out in 2002 , especially that famous Unfaithful.

    in start, a woman drinking wine with husband n wife. and suddenly that woman got drunk and confessed that she is the lover of that husband, which makes the wife heart shattered . and yeah , thats real hidden life lesson or reality in it. About " whenever there is adultery / cheating happen in relationship husband /wife , gf / bf . that relationship is TOTALLY end /broken" . there is no way it can be repaired or rekindle.

    so thats happens in this movie, wife totally tormented by husband infidelity. even though he became faithfully and devoted husband or family guy.

    Even though, there is ALMOST a happy ending for wife, but sadly . its not.
