Last updated Sep 21, 2026
Season 1 (16 episodes, Mar 27–May 16, 2020 on JTBC) begins with Sun‑woo’s meticulous unraveling of Tae‑oh’s deception: small clues (a lip gloss, a hair, altered schedules) lead to surveillance, confrontation, and public exposure of the affair. As the marriage implodes, Sun‑woo weaponizes her influence to corner Tae‑oh financially and socially, while Tae‑oh’s lies and desperation escalate. Da‑kyung’s family and their own histories are drawn into the conflict, and their son Joon‑young becomes a casualty of the adults’ war. The season charts Sun‑woo’s transformation from betrayed wife to ruthless avenger and the heavy personal cost of that path .
