Interpretation and analysis are my own. Part of the Dramatic Autopsies series.
Scalpel steady, gloves on.
— — —
An unassertive, self-pitying, and downright stupid female protagonist who apparently did nothing all day but wait for her husband.
And an ignorant, self-centered male protagonist who seems eager to reintroduce the concubine model.
A true dream couple.

Then comes a brilliant premise that could have saved everything — and then… downhill.
Instead of fully developing this idea and building a coherent, clever plot piece by piece, the film gets lost in trivialities and absurdities.
Living openly with a mistress is somehow not a reason for divorce?
Not only does the past have no impact on the future for some inexplicable reason, it has also apparently severely damaged the male lead’s brain.
Add to that the constant suffering of the female lead, and the valley of despair has almost reached its lowest point.
And all this after less than half an hour.
What follows is a repetitive life with standardized situations, in which not only does no one evolve — even though they supposedly have the memories — but instead they celebrate the same old, worn-out, demolished one-way street of life again.
Plus: constantly repeating self-justification and self-righteousness.
Anyone looking for logic, sense, or entertainment here is lost.
The worst part, however, was that the supporting female character radiated more charisma and poise than the female lead.
The ending itself was almost impossible to surpass in terms of irrationality and cliché.
Anyone who wants to waste more than two hours of their life on such preposterous nonsense — be my guest.
