I love Hong, but no matter how I spin my head around it, I can't find Ryu even remotely interesting and the pairing just don't look good.=(

The male lead is a complete turn off. I don't know, I don't find him really ugly. But he isn't attractive either. And he isn't charismatic. I've only seen him in Style and he failed to impress me.

The only good thing in this drama is Hong Soohyun!

I absolutely adore Hong Soo Hyun so I'm really rooting for this drama to be successful.
Although I'm finding that Channel A dramas are not particularly good and I think its partly because they have a slight identity crisis. For example, Bachelor's Vegetable Store was advertised as cute underdog story but became too makjang for my taste. Also Colour of Woman started off being sharp and quirky but ended up being brain-numbingly annoying. Obviously the bad dramas are not entirely the channel's fault but I think if they took the same approach as tvN and build a niche for itself then it may produce better dramas with more appeal. I feel that its somewhat trying to find its feet by broadcasting dramas that appeal to different demographics and hoping to find one that works. However, they are a new broadcasting channel so I can only hope that the channel will start churning out good dramas, starting with this one since I love the actresses.

never liked him. he has smth fake on him

"Curiously, though, the description of the drama puts it forth as a “new type of romantic comedy.” Let me guess: the kind that isn’t romantic or comedic?"

Gee... why so snarky?

Pass. But there's something about Hong Soo-hyun's dress in the poster that intrigues me - if this were gofugyourself, it would be an unfug it up: so nearly there, but just not quite.

Whichever angle i look at this man i just dont find him attractive, at all! Personally his only work i loved is 'Wedding', only other drama i watched is 'Style' and i was bored stiff!

HSH can do better. I think his bestfriend might end up having a thing for her lol. Anyways, I'll wait for a recap or the first episode to get a feel for it. I really do like HSH since Salaryman. Hears hoping this drama won't be another Lie to Me. I think both actresses are hoping/praying for the same thing.

I have never liked the vibes I get from Ryu Shi Won and was never quite sure why.

After a little digging, now I know. Although he comes from an illustrious korean family, 14th generation of a famous clan, his bad boy rep (killing someone in a car accident) and singing career only seems to reinforce his image as a player.

Here's a perfect example of a drama imitating life. Definitely won't be watching this one.

1: Cheating husband= Get. Out. Now.
2: The ex that comes to put everyone in misery reminds me too much of the crazy stalker mistress in A Thousand Kisses. So no, unless someone brings me a proof of the quality of the thing.

I agree. My policy is once a cheater always a cheater... get out of the relationship now!! Not worth the heartache, suffering and pain associated with having a cheating spouse.

I do love HSH cause she has a lot of sass. So at some point I may tune in. But, I also have the same feelings about Ryu. I have seen several of his dramas in 2000 and I was not impressed - starting with wedding with JN. 90s - I hear his was pretty decent but still... now is now... maybe something will really wow me here. I'm not counting on it.

Still I wish them all the best of luck!! :)

I kinda liked him in ''wedding'' but I don't know about this story........

Wait, wasn't Park Ji-yoon the really annoying frenemy character? I don't know that she will do well as the charismatic, flawed but likable Other Woman.

Also this drama sounds kind of sickening. I'm with you on the skepticism.

i will forever see ryu shi won as the boring brother who lost the girl to the hot bad stepbrother (Lee Byung Hun) in Beautiful Days.

The first thing that came into my head at this "new rom-com" idea was something ah la Naked Kitchen or My Wife Got Married, which would intrigue me if they actually did a triad relationship of some kind that wasn't just angst, angst, angst. Not holding my breath on it though.

I once stumbled on a movie with very similar premise. "Lovers of 6 years" starring Kim Haneul. Hated the story, hated the main guy (who had no qualms cheating on his almost wife), absolutely hated the ending. Never am I going to torture myself by watching anything of the sort anymore.

Hong Soo Hyun is actually really good in my book. I'd like to see her be in the lead role this time around. :)
Ryu Shi Won is an absolute bore though. Too bad!

Aaaaaaaaaw. I had overlooked that this was the type of drama this was. I was looking forward to seeing Ryu Shi-won on the screen, just because he's just so damn yummy to me. It's weird, but true. Sad to say I'm no fan of cheating bastard type dramas. And on Channel A? Uh, no. Is it not the home of the kerfuffle that was Bachelor's Vegetable Store? Or Color of Women (from what I hear)? 2 bad dramas does not make a bad station, but it sure doesn't boost heaps of confidence.

Happy to see Hong Soo-hyun again. She's awesome!

eww ryu shi won o-o
Hong Soo Hyun though <3
I've been waiting for her to get popular ever since the Banjun dramas/ Loveletter days (:

*sighs* I'm not a fan of 'cheating' dramas so as much as I love Hong (never seen the main guy in anything so can't comment), I'll pass on this one.

im sorry i know its kinda off topic but im soo upset that KPop: Extreme Survival ended. Today. i was thinking it was gonna end next week and when i get this news, i swear i wanted to cry. I mean what kind of ending was that?? and i really liked Park YooHwan and Go Eun Ah couple. aghh im so mad.

sorry. i just had to let it out since i discovered that Goodbye Wife was taking over the time slot of KPop: Extreme Survival in Channel A.

I've seen Ryu in "Beautiful Days" and "Wedding". "Wedding" is a lovely drama and one of my all-time favs. This new drama reminds me of the T-drama "The Shrewd Wife" where the wife's cousin breaks up a happy marriage and becomes the other woman. There's something absolutely rivetting about a show with an "other woman" and I'll be watching this to see the jerk husband get his come-uppance (they always do in dramaland....how sad that real life does not reflect reel life).

i'll watch it only the 4 first episod, then I decide to continue or not

why not call it "Goodbye Scumbag Husband"?

There must be a mathematical formula to describe a first love in Kdrama. She's either a successful femme fatale or an angelic, pure type with a poetry book in her hand. As for the men, there is only one option, they follow their FL, even if they hate her (as in A Thousand You Know What).
Or is there a drama where the man knows what he wants (Except the choice: I want it all, they seem abundant)?

I can just about never get on board on anything involving love triangles, because they just about always boil down to a "cheating ass" of sorts and that irritates the hell out of me.

"Immature husband"? Ugh. I don't even want to think of the potential ending of this drama, because whether he reconciles with his wife or his first love gets together with him, it gets me all riled up because he doesn't deserve anyone! Well, maybe they will both send him to hell... well, that could be fun - if they both take the mickey out of him for his idiocies...

In any case, it's very unlikely I'll watch this (if that wasn't clear already.)

HILARIOUSLY BAD time to get a divorce.

This does not look like my cup of tea. Not crazy about adultery stories ! I guess I will be skipping this one.

not a fan of ryu shi won, don't find him good looking or a good actor.

The only adultery-themed K-film I ever digged was My Man's Woman. Mostly due to it's superb acting. Anything else? Nope. My frustrations tend to boil over and I can't afford a new monitor.

I wonder if this film will have a negative impact on Ryu's image after his divorce - shifting his soft image as a man who can do no harm as a man who could actually cheat on his wife. Films tend to have that type of influence on audiences.

Wouldn't you consider about doing a recap for this drama? As I'm the huge fan of 'Hong Soo Hyun', I like to know what other people think about her.

Ryu Shi Won is shooting a comeback drama titled Goodbye Wife, a drama about a husband who wants to divorce his wife for old lover.

Real life drama for Ryu Shi-won. His wife of 2 years files for divorce. Thus, I will quote " Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life." by Oscar Wilde.

Ryu si Won es mi artista y cantante favorito. Todos sus dramas demuestran una caracterizacion amable pero con algo de tragedia. Tiene una nostalgia en su mirada. He visto Secret, Truth,Forever yours,Beautiful Days,Wedding,Style y Goodby Wife.

It is a damn good drama..wonder why is it not that popular..it's kinda hard to find these type of drama nowadays..most regard cheating as something normal...
