[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I couldn't get through the 1st episode, although I tried a few times.  First, the woman is accused of murder, but let out of jail AND allowed to visit her husband in the hospital?  THEN, she is told in the courtroom that he died and they suddenly change the charge to murder?  It made no sense, she obviously didn't murder him.  The terrible plot didn't make up for the lack in character development, or the fact that I couldn't look away from the TV for 30 minutes because you have to read every line.  [/quote]

If someone subsequently dies of their injuries from an assault, the charges are upgraded to murder, which is pretty standard everywhere. But the whole point of the case was that the police/prosecutors made assumptions based on the fact that she had an iron.

As for her visiting him in the hospital-- you may have a point, but it didn't strike me as that odd. She wasn't just visiting, she was caring for him. I think it's fairly common-- maybe even somewhat expected-- to have family helping care for someone in the hospital. Add to the fact that she was elderly, had no history of violence, and her husband didn't express any misgivings about her being there, it doesn't seem implausible. In fact, he seemed to expect her to keep taking care of him. That was part of their dynamic-- her subservience to him.

There will be plenty of character development to come-- that's one of the thing Korean dramas are known for. It's a 16 episode series.

If subtitles are just not comfortable or convenient, though, it might just not be your thing. Because you can't multitask with them at all, it's more of a commitment. I find, though, that the forced focus actually pulls me in. It also keeps me from wasting time on something that isn't worth it. My personal rule is to give it three episodes. I'm often kind of meh for the first episode or two, then get sucked into it hard![/quote]
