This review may contain SPOILERS.
I just completely watched this drama in July'22. I loved the great actings of all ML, FL, and second ML in this drama.
IMO ... The wife IR loved her husband HT but might be infatuated by Carpenter KJ whom she could talk and cried with him. She felt remorseful to her husband in thinking of and loving another man. IR begged for her husband's forgiveness several times but the husband had very high pride and ego and could not accept her "emotional" affair guilt although the affair relationship between IR and KJ was not up to the unforgiven level that they slept together.
Although IR tried very hard in begging her husband's forgiveness, her husband was so stubborned and insisted to not forgive and wanted to divorce her. Then after he realized how much IR loved him and devoted for his family, he wanted her back to stay with him. BUT she did not want to come back to him b/c her husband hurt her and she still believed that he could not forgive her "emotional" affair guilt. After she denied staying with her husband, Carpenter KJ re-approached her and she started to gradually reconnect to him. If her mom-in-law did not start to have memory loss and KJ did not much show his childish behavior, I wonder that she "might" choose him.
Anyway, I did not much like IR's written character in the story. IR had talked with her husband several times and her sister that she would NOT see and talk with KJ any more. However, when she unintentionally met KJ, she always gave hopes and showed her cares to him. There was a scene obviously showing IR's care to KJ in reminding him to apply lotion on his hand. Also, there was a scene after their big argument in KJ's workshop that KJ did not want IR to stay in her in-law's house and he asked her what he meant to her. IR clearly replied to KJ that she followed her heart to be with him BUT did not want anyone to think that she avoided her (to-be ex) in-laws b/c of him. So, if she REALLY FOLLOWED her heart to be with Carpenter KJ, WHY had she NOT accepted her husband's early divorce proposals and stay with KJ?
Again, when IR and KJ talked in front of IR's house after she had left her in-law's house and IR apologized KJ that she had not listened to him to stay in her in-law's house, it was clearly shown that IR did NOT want to be with Carpenter KJ as a family b/c she did not want to leave her hometown. BUT after KJ ended the relationship, she just called him the next day after thinking "what she had done:" .... but it was good that KJ did not accept the call, otherwise he would be hurt more.
When IR had her SAC-SAC ventilation and when she was in a Hospital, she thought of both men, her husband and the Carpenter, in her mind. But in EP19, after she woke up, she firstly thought of her husband and misunderstood that Carpenter KJ was her husband. However, after she got well, she decided to end the relationships with both her husband and Carpenter KJ. IR met KJ in his workshop to end the relationship and later left a letter in her husband's house to say good bye to him saying that "I was sorry". Her husband also narrated that IR's "sorry" meaning was she did not love him any more. Then when IR and her husband met at the crossing road, why did her heart start to flutter again? Did she never stop loving her husband?
So, I did not quite understand if IR decided to leave her husband, WHY / HOW did she decide to reconnect and offer to make him a dinner in the last EP after seeing the rocking chair? Did she feel that her husband would forgive and not resent her any more?
Any comments on why the rocking chair was still in the house after their reconciliation? What would IR and her husband think when seeing or sitting on the rocking chair in their house?
