Alternative title : "My Husband's Woman"
I love you… I’ll love you with no regrets. And then I’ll die…
The tale of their forbidden love begins.
A woman who became evil like Aphrodite in Greek Mythology…
A man who can’t distinguish fantasy from reality…
And a man’s wife whose life has become nothing but a maze…

Female characters on TV dramas are increasingly growing vicious these days, like those in the dramas "Boys Over Flowers", "Cruel Temptation" and "Again, My Love" While the main characters typically grab the spotlight at the beginning, it's the vicious characters who steal the spotlight as time goes by. The popularity of "nice" characters has been on decline recently, giving way to malicious villains. Vicious yet charming characters first appeared on Korean TV dramas about a decade ago. They first drew viewers' attention through the SBS TV drama "Trap Of Youth", which dealt with the subject of revenge. Its viewer ratings soared to 35.7 percent (according to AGB Nielson), attesting to its enormous popularity. In the drama, the innocent-looking main character, played by Shim Eun-ha, avenged herself upon the man who she was in love with but who had betrayed her.
Many other TV dramas picked up on the trend, including "Women's World" and "Miss Mermaid". Since then, the popularity of vicio...| More | ||||||||||

MBC - Bae Yong-joon, KBS - Choi Soo-jong, SBS - Kim Hee-ae and Park Shin-yang
'There had been no surprise'. The winners of this year's Grand Prize of each broadcasting station's Drama Awards had been announced. The result can be summarised into following phrase, 'No surprise'. It is no exaggeration to say that one of the biggest topics of the year was the drama "The Legend" with its astonishing 40 billion-won production bill. It is the most expensive and large-scaled drama ever made in the history of Korean drama and evoked much concerns and worries before it was telecasted. However, the drama recorded more than 30% rating and many agreed that much of its credit should be given to Bae Yong-joon. Of course, there is a degree of regret that Kim Myeong-min, who presented an outstanding charismatic performance in "White Tower", was only awarded the Best Actor of the Year. However, it was general agreement that Bae Yoon-joon did more than enough to be awarded the Grand Prize for h...| More | ||||||||||
