Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Set on Jeju Island, Seok-Geun (Lee Sung-Min) is a middle-aged man and he works as a taxi driver. He is married to Dam-Deok (Jang Young-Nam). Seok-Geun constantly cheats on his wife, but it doesn't mean he does not love his wife.

Meanwhile, his younger sister is Mi-Young (Song Ji-Hyo) and she is married to Bong-Soo (Shin Ha-Kyun). They live right next door to Seok-Geun and his wife. Mi-Young and Bong-Soo runs an Italian restaurant, but their restaurant isn't doing very well. Bong-Soo wants to convert the restaurant to a Chinese restaurant, but Mi-Young ignores him. Bong-Soo can't understand his brother-in-law's proclivity to have affairs. Everything changes when Je-Ni (Lee El) appears in front of Bong-Soo.

reema Jun 11 2020 4:49 am one of the worst movies I've watched. No, I have never watched a movie worst of this movie entire my life, everything is bad either the story or even the scenes. DISGUSTING.

suyeon Dec 24 2019 2:57 am great movie!

West Star Jun 12 2018 7:53 pm I thought that Hwang Mi Young (additional casts) is Tiffany? of GG

Ppps May 23 2018 7:32 am Just finished watching the movie and I really enjoyed it...I personally don’t enjoy movies with plots that involve infidelity or showcases too many steamy scenes in the name of artistic liberty....this one, however, was subtle,funny and less sleazy....all the characters are flawed which makes it all the more realistic and relatable....each character cheats on his/her spouse for different reasons....some to fight loneliness and some to just enjoy the thrill of it....the movie tries to answer the age old question which is “ what men want”... the movie shows that most men like to have an affair or two in their lifetime,for different reasons, but do not want to give up on the pleasures and wholesomeness of a family or homely life....the men in this story are not heartless and not just mere sex addicts....men lust,maybe more than women,but they sure do know to love as well....Seok Gun’s grief over his wife’s demise was not just the result of his sense of guilt....Seok Gun becomes enraged and jealous upon learning the fact that his wife had cheated on him with her masseuse.More so,when Seok Gun tries to prove to the masseuse that his wife loved him more than her lover, it showed how much Seok Gun had cared for and loved his wife to vie for her love and affection even after her death. This, I actually found very endearing. Bong soo too couldn’t get intimate with Je ni and could only do so after they bonded emotionally and developed a friendly relationship.... The actors were very good....the comic timing was perfect....the hide and seek scenes between the actors were just hilarious,especially the scene at the restaurant....It definitely is an interesting watch.

sana May 20 2018 1:42 pm okay so I watched the movie and was left feeling unsatisfied. It's a good movie! Makes you think about how easy it is to cheat on someone you made a vow to be faithful to but I did not like how it ended? It needed to be resolved and some things went unexplained.

I saw someone posted "So what does a Man want?" after they watched the movie and I think this film shows how greedy some men are? also women! they want what they can't have and then when they might have to face the consequence they're suddenly repentant??

I have no idea how to describe this film. It left me thoughtful.

Lollipop Apr 30 2018 11:35 am Omo Song ji hyo!! kyaaa <3 will definitely watch this movie once it got release in my country xD fighting jihyo sshi! ♡

zma Apr 09 2018 9:46 am @last comment it's not a remake of any movie, and I believe there aren't steamy scenes.

j-swoosh Apr 02 2018 11:00 pm It seems like a remake of Muzi v nadeji (2011) in the og version there are some steamy scenes should i expect it too from this Korean version...?

BARAMBARAMBARAM Apr 01 2018 9:41 am @c

don't worry SJH and EL have recently promoted this movie at JTBC's Knowing Brothers so it likely won't be dropped

Odysseysarang Mar 20 2018 10:51 pm Is no one going to mention Lee El (secretary Ma)? After Korean Odyssey I fell involve with how funny and natural her acting is! Glad she's in a movie with Jihyo. Fighting!!!! <3

z Mar 10 2018 2:15 pm Can't wait till April, so excited to finally see song ji hyo!!

Ann Joel Feb 23 2018 8:22 pm April 5th 2018 release date hopefully international fans are treated To seeing this movie on Netflix please. Can't wait to see Lee El ❤️

wellz Jan 22 2018 10:11 pm Hi! I've been looking forward for this drama. when will it be released? its 2018 already but i can't search the full episodes. why?

c Jan 02 2018 11:27 am its already 2018. when are they planning to release this film? 2030? the actors put so much time and effort into this movie it would be a waste if they decide to drop it. (i only have a feeling that they're dropping it because its been months ever since the filming ended and there have been no news.)

Kriss Sep 30 2017 7:08 am Hope to see her star in a drama series again... Ji Hyo! Ji Hyo!
