Checked and re-read

Is it worth it

A psychological thriller wrapped in a black comedy about a marriage falling apart, and the mother-in-law alliance is the best thing in it. The gaslighting is played for tension rather than shock, and the show is smart enough to make both women competent rather than making one a victim. Twelve episodes on MBC, a 7.7 rating that reflects the niche rather than the quality, and a tone that most audiences will either love for its sharpness or bounce off for its meanness.

Noh Young-won, a successful psychological counselor and celebrity, and her mother-in-law, Hong Sa-kang, face an incident that threatens their happy family and they try to work together to protect their precious family.
