Description 작품 소개

You-nah is the kind of woman who says happiness is a result of gradually removing existing sources of unhappiness rather than an accumulation of small joys. Her second husband, Eun-ho, knows about his wife’s unique philosophy but has no idea that it has also served as a great motivation for her dark past. Eun-ho wants to keep his wife happy, having failed once at marriage, but his wife deliberately takes advantage of this weakness and keeps repeating her routine of revenge whenever she doesn’t get what she wants: packing up and leaving to stay over at her mother’s for a while, without telling him for how long. She always takes Ji-you, her daughter with her first husband, who seems afraid of her mother and is disconcertingly obedient. But when Eun-ho finds out that You-nah’s first husband went missing the same time his wife took another one of her little impromptu trips with Ji-you, he starts to wonder what kind of woman his wife really is, and what she might have done to all the men in her life who died suddenly and in what was quickly ruled out as accidents.

 

Jae-inn, You-nah’s slightly older sister, has always had an awkward relationship with You-nah ever since their parents had to entrust You-nah to their grandparents when their mother got sick. You-nah felt abandoned and directed all her bottled-up anger towards her older sister, and ever since has made it her life goal to take whatever Jae-inn holds dear or seems entitled to. You-nah’s revenge
culminated in her marriage to her first husband, Joon-young, whom she falsely assumed was Jae-inn’s boyfriend. Now, a decade after the marriage and years after You-nah’s divorce, Jae-inn runs into Min-young, Joon-young’s younger sister, and learns that Joon-young went missing. With the police looking into his disappearance, Jae-inn looks back on You-nah’s childhood and starts to ask herself unthinkable questions about the deaths in You-nah’s life.
