Miseuti

A star news anchor is accused of murder and her estranged husband who is a lawyer defends her. The female lead is outstanding in this as she plays a ruthless ambitious journalist who will stop at nothing for the truth. The plot twist is a bit obvious and there are a few annoying characters and events but the main cast keep your interest. An original look at a relationship and what we may think is love.

I've just finished watching this engrossing award winning drama - it was too intense to binge, but is definitely worth watching for the immaculate performances of. Kim Nam-joo &Ji Jin-hee with Jeon Hye-jin and excellent overall casting and suspenseful storyline. Without giving away too much, my main conclusion, which wasn't really mentioned in the script, is the impact that predatory men can have on the lives of women and how we have to manage around that - and of course the lives of other men can be badly affected too. The themes of motivation, communication & emotional distance are constantly highlighted in a variety of intricate ways - via personal relationships, family status and wider communication through the media. Nothing about this is light hearted, but the main characters are unforgettable.

A famous Korean golfer lays dead in his crashed car - but what was the cause of death? Did he die because of the crash- or was he murdered. One dogged and determined detective is convinced it was murder. But who did it- was it his lover from the past who is now a famous news anchor and whose brooch was found in his car. Or someone else- or was it just a car accident. If the news anchor is convicted of murder a lot of influential people will be pleased so is there a plot against her? This is a brilliantly written drama with a faultless cast. It keeps you guessing to the end and I have to say the end was totally unexpected.

A really captivating drama with the central theme of marriage disappointment, interspersed with a murder mystery, cutthroat workplace shenanigans, conspiracy and legal drama. While some of the twists and turns are not exceptionally original, I must say I was impressed by the ending. Not totally different from what I was expecting yet it was delivered in such a way that took me by surprise. Perhaps the biggest reason I give this drama a thumbs up is that, despite my revulsion with the heroine's character during most of the show, I was nonetheless thoroughly glued to her story till the very end, and even ended up routing for her. Highly recommended - as long as you're not looking for a comedy.

The story is interesting but lengthy and I wished for an other perpetrator and end.

My impression is that there is always a lot of talk in KDramas, but never what is really important, but maybe it has to do with the culture. Or why wouldn't the leading lady tell her husband that the golfer is her ex-boyfriend, he's bugging her and she's dealing with it. None of this would have happened.

The detective, yes that certainly happens a lot, that they so doggedly want to blame someone and then don't investigate neutrally, but they didn't really follow up on any clues; last call (much later) fingerprints and DNA on airbag. Why did the young presenter call the golfer, why did he have to leave right after the phone call?

Why didn't anyone say it was an accident? It wasn't a murder, sure he covered it up which made it worse, but if he had reported it right away?

The one in the newsroom (not Mr. Jang) was super annoying, but there's one of those in every KDrama.
