Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Four female friends in their 30's become involved in a series of murders.

Se-Yeon (Han Ga-In), Eun-Soo (Shin Hyun-Bin), Jung-Won (Choi Hee-Seo) and Hwa-Young (Goo Jae-Yee) have a dead man’s body in front of them. Jung-Won looks at the scented candle in her hand and blames the scented candle.

2 months prior, Se-Yeon runs a cafe. She has a daughter. Her husband died 2 years earlier, but his body was never found. She then receives a phone call without a caller ID number. The caller plays a song that was her husband's favorite song. Song-Hoon (Lee Hee-Jun) approaches Se-Yeon. His daughter attends the same kindergarten as Se-Yeon's daughter.

Se-Yeon has three close friends: Eun-Soo, Jung-Won and Hwa-Young. Eun-Soo works as a psychiatrist. One day, her patient Sun-Ho (Jung Ga-Ram) tells her that he is looking for his dead father's mistress. He believes that the mistress killed his father. Eun-Soo does not tell her client that she is the one who had the secret affair with his father. Eun-Soo also has another secret.

Jung-Won is a high school teacher. She is married to famous chef Dong-Seok (Park Byung-Eun). He seems like the perfect husband. Dong-Seok wants to have a child badly, but Jung-Won doesn't know the real reason why her husband wants a child. The real reason is so Dong-Seok can have material for a reality TV show. Meanwhile, Min-Gyu (Ji Il-Joo) is a temporary teacher at the same high school where Jung-Won teaches. He tells her that he likes her.

Hwa-Young works as an office administrator at a law firm. She enjoys her single life and she doesn't want to be tied down with one man. One day, a female client comes and requests that someone secretly follow her husband Tae-O (Kim Min-Soo). That man is Hwa-Young’s ex-boyfriend.

anzal Aug 16 2022 7:25 pm woah drama story is good.... recommended

Ava Dec 10 2021 11:33 pm Like seriously, you would suicide and leave you "precious" child to her father that poisoned her for insurance money Main character wes made so lousyyy

So Lala Jul 09 2021 8:43 am CONTAIN SPOILERS, HONEY

- I love the erotic scenes where's Go Jae-yee in charge of. It's sizzling and steamy but decent enough to airs in TV. - It's Oh Jung-se and his superb acting all over again. I hate him so much here. - Honorable mention for Lee Sanghee. I hate her so much too and she's scary. It's my first time watch her. Well done. - Shout out to OCN for their signature uncomfortable scenes. Here is where Han Sang-hoon being tortured. Uhh I can't even. - I kinda agree with Bee, it so ticklish watching Jang Se-yeon at episode 10. They should add pinches more of determination and bravery to her character. Her child is being hurt. Her character should've been become more merciless to satisfy the viewer. But overall she's fine. So eye-candy too. - Some acts and micro expression, especially from Jung-won and Eun-soo sometimes really pushed my buttons. It makes me uncomfortable watching them being shaky in front of their men. But it means they understand the assignment of deliver their character. - I loooove the solid squad of 4 women. Overall the story feels like patched up here and there because of their irregular plot and flashbacks, but this 4 women stick together so nice. I will miss this gang.

Kim Na Na Dec 07 2020 4:37 pm This drama was okay. The beginning was so complicated and honestly I got confused with all the names of the people who had been murdered and most of the background music was kinda scary. Only the last 4 episodes were good. The drama could have been 8-10 episodes. 12 were too long.

hann Oct 13 2020 7:29 am @Bee

but after i thought about it again, seyeon should've taken the maid to the police. that specific plot was arguable. but yeah, overall this drama is still really good

hann Oct 13 2020 7:13 am @Bee

you're meticulous! but kim youngdae might have called the police making up story to frame seyeon before she had a chance to report the maid. the maid called him telling that she'd been caught. it was in the daytime. then, seyeon was visited by children's welfare activists/investigators at the hospital in the night and they were suspicious of her. the next day the police officers investigated her. i think it could happen that youngdae had called the police right after the maid called him

Bee Sep 17 2020 7:56 pm SPOILER In eps 10 now. Ah Seyeon really make me angry. She's slow and stupid! She should've report the maid first time she found what she's done to her child but she just let her go. Wtf??

Anw this is a good drama, you should watch it.

TEX Aug 08 2020 10:15 am Shin Hyun-Bin & Goo Jae-Yee are so beautiful !!

L20 Jul 17 2020 6:57 pm This drama makes you realise that it's a scary world out there...

L20 Jul 17 2020 6:56 pm This drama is really underrated! I'd compare it to sky castle level. I don't know if it's just me, but this drama moved me and made me feel as if I was a character in it. Great plot, writing, directing and acting. Note: do not start watching this if you are busy. You won't stop when you start! I do hope there's a season 2, although it makes me worry what it'll bring!!

viewer May 18 2020 2:43 am ok, the most unexpected scene is there!!! the man from weightlifting fairy ki bok joo really give me goosebumpssssss. here he i very wild sis, this drama is only for 19+ y/o okay gang. just give it a try, even at episode 2 it already give me shock

The X May 15 2020 4:43 am [SPOILERS] First of all, the timeline will f*ck you up all the time so get ready and focus on scenes. Secondly, dont even try to explain a thing until you watch the last episode, you will just make fun of yourself later. This drama has a strange plot which make it mysterious and heart-catching. Unlike any other thrilling drama, the plot twists everytime. You never guess it right. Thing is, they hide the information really good and make you follow traits they left. Im really happy Ah Yeon dad survived because he is the last one to take care his little daughter. Meanwhile he was kidnapped, I really worry for Ah Yeon who is left alone. Se Yeon didnt take a glace at Ah Yeon during her suspiciousness of Ah Yeon dad. I guess Ah Yeon aunt took care of her those days. The new arrival woman at the end promissing there will be another drama. However, I think the prank call Se Yeon got at the end is a sign of bad news for the mistresses. A cycle, just like how it happened at the beginning.

natalie Jul 03 2019 11:00 pm woah i’m so excited. i finished it today only in two days. it was at first comfishing but it all made sense. i found myself frowning so much because i was trying to focus and all haha i just hope there’s a season two. i don’t know much info if there’s is one.

leane Feb 07 2019 10:57 am i just started watching this but I don't get it... do they keep switching from past and present??? and the one with the dead body is the present?? I am on episode 5 can someone pls tell me thx...

Zoe Jan 11 2019 5:34 pm I was wondering, what is the song name that was played 34 minutes into the first episode?. This is when all the women get together in the car and talk. A song Se yeon's husband liked turned on and we yeon's friends changed the song. I want to know the song they changed to. Thx

Von Dec 15 2018 4:51 pm I really Hope here is a season two with the same cast! This was very nicely done from beginning to end.

LOVE THIS Oct 20 2018 12:01 pm i just watched this drama out of curiosity but i was left in awe. the plot was veryyyyyy intriguing and every damn scene was so important that u cant skip a sec. i love the mystery to it. and the editing was just superb. THIS DRAMAAAA IS SOO GOOD. THATS IT.

Kyle Sep 16 2018 6:28 pm I kinda ship Eunsoo and Seon Ho ?? Don't get me wrong, I know that's quite impossible bcs of their past but seriously..... I think our doctor needs someone and he's super cute ?

Sean ♥ Sep 02 2018 7:31 pm This drama is a sexy thriller!

Watch it? YES For kids? NO

OCN is making great world class dramas! I watched this because of Han Ga In and the plot of the drama is perfectly executed.

Part 2? None. But I would be happy if there is. I will watch Voice 2 first to see if Mistress will be connected to it.

Characters are perfectly chosen. Especially Hwa Young. She is super hot. And hands down to Sang Hee Mom!!

The most moving episode is the 7th. Thank me later. You should watch this!

rain Aug 01 2018 4:02 pm Will there be season 2? the end was so mysterious ... and so han jung won daughter belongs to? im so curious about it .

VL Jul 27 2018 4:22 pm This drama was so intriguing and had my attention the whole time I was watching it. Normally I multitask while watching a kdrama but this drama made me so in awe I couldn't watch it while doing something else. I love love love the casting. Kang Tae-O, Minggyu, Seonho, and Sanghoon (wow basically all the guys lmfao) were so fit for their characters, not to mention attractive. The four girls =literally squad goals. Props to the directors for finding such great casts.

jennie Jul 17 2018 3:10 am so han jung won daughter belongs to? im so curious about it T.T

Jj Jun 16 2018 12:55 pm I just finished this series and it's literally mind blowing, thrilling and sexy. Anyways the reason why Lee Ha Na appeared on the last episode as the mysterious woman is because of her upcoming series Voice 2, some sort of promotional lol. Just kidding. Hopefully it could have a second season and looking forward for more enticing and exciting characters.

AnaMarie Jun 11 2018 2:19 am I found the music you've been looking for it's "It Could Be You" by Hanclef ft. Elaine

Maggie Jun 10 2018 8:47 am OMG yes! I'm also looking for that song and just can’t find it for my life... if someone has any idea please helppppp

Welp Jun 06 2018 10:08 am Hey, can anyone help me find this song with the lyrics “if i choose only one in my life will it be you; we’re living in a strange world.” I tried my best to look for it but I can’t. Btw, I also saw someone who is on the same page as mine. Hopefully, you can help us. Thanks guys!

Hyemi Jun 05 2018 12:59 pm Anyone know what song is with the lyrics " if I choose only one in my life, could it be you" ? I'm looking for it but nothing found....

AK Jun 05 2018 5:13 am It's lee hana the woman that appeared in the last episode and i think there will be season 2

yx Jun 04 2018 10:59 am anyone knows whos the woman that appeared last?

Etaessa Jun 04 2018 3:03 am Will there be season 2?

Sunglasses May 30 2018 10:40 pm

spoiler

I don't know why all the clues pointing out to kim tae hoo while he has been like out of the picture. The call from someone called "wife" in his smarthphone and the dead body's white t shirt are all pointing out to him. The white t'shirt was his last outfit in the last scene when he met hwa young. Also, the man who stole the money from locker really looks like him. The haircut wasn't kim you dae's. Kim young dae wears green, Mr.Chef is in the police station. The only possible person is kim tae ho. But how and why?

As for sang hoon, i really hope he still alive. Remember someone throw a rock when the ahjumas had a visit from the cops. And the dead body was dissapear. I hope it was him trying to help ahjumas.

Hunmily kropi May 30 2018 9:38 am I'm really curious about the dead body... When will the 11th an 12th episode release...?

Sunglasses May 23 2018 12:07 pm remember the clue given "all death are related". Most of us forget that beside baek jae hee and cha min jae death there's one more death mentioned, (sang hoon's ex-wife suicide). i think somehow her death also related to another two. if thats true, it can be means sang hoon has another motive beside insurance fraud investigation. but i don't think the dead body is him. he's probably "victim" too, like baek jae hee's husband or eun soo. The reason i still have faith for him is because he is single father, he has something to loose, compare to other 3 men, kim young dae has family too but he's like psyco, he even able to beat his wife, and doesn't care if yerin is alive or not.

jju May 22 2018 2:55 am Hmmm i think died body is kim youngdae..i hope sanghoon will be okay dont die pls ?

Etaessa May 21 2018 9:22 pm I watch the drama without sutitlea after the first two episodes. Fortunately I understand the point of the drama. I dont watch the original version and I wont. I wont ruin my curiousness about the owner of the death body they killed. I enjoy this curiousness, but really I dont want that body belongs to Sang Hoon.

444 May 11 2018 1:26 am do anyone notice that one who played jung wong is little bit like gahyeon from dreamcatcher(?)

444 May 11 2018 12:56 am i just think that Dreamcatcher can take ost for this drama, their genre of music may suit for this genre of drama especially their new comeback song, hhaha... This such great drama for han ga in return, love it.

444 May 11 2018 12:47 am i curious how if Dreamcatcher take ost for this drama, i just think their genre of music can be suit with this genre of drama especially their new song comeback, i just love it hhahaa... Great drama for han ga in comebackk....

Bux bunny May 02 2018 1:23 pm I have a habit of watching Korean dramas at night. At first it was very interesting but when I reached the middle of the second episode i got scared if it is a horror drama. And I'm still scared to sleep i will watch the remaining tomorrow morning.

MELISSA May 02 2018 12:44 pm It ´s really Goo Jae yee from the taillor of laurel in this drama she act sooo good

Mia May 02 2018 8:18 am I adore the BBC and American versions of Mistresses! And true to the story line of these versions the Korean drama does not fail! Yasss ! I was a surprised the Korean show was as sexy as the other 2 series , seems out of the norm for Korean TV , but no complaints here I'm loving the first 2 episodes...

haeyadwae Apr 30 2018 10:58 pm everyone in korea was complaining how they show some skin and a little sex scene but for me who still belongs in a conservative country doesn't care at all, after episode 2 i am now very intrigue if everything is connected? from the husbands death to the teachers death 2years ago... with that hair salon lady, i am not familiar with the original american version, but this is exciting after Return N Money Flower and now something in the rain and mistress... good job writers!?

Agsel Apr 30 2018 3:12 am Han Ga In... she's back ??

kdrama lover Jan 07 2018 5:19 am Mehhh... I can't stand with her acting, really annoying

jess Jan 07 2018 3:35 am There was an American remake of the same BBC series (Mistresses) about 5-6 years ago, and one of its stars was the Korean Kim Yun-jin (Lost, Ode to My Father, the recent Taecyeon flick House of the Disappeared). And now there's going to be a completely Korean version!
