I was hoping that'd be temporary but it stayed the same till the very end. However, it again became slow & boring from the 2nd half of the 7th episode. The show picked up the perfect acceleration from ep3 and made me look forward to the next. The first 2 introductory episodes were a bit uninteresting tbh but I hoped they'll do better, which actually happened. The plot development is extremely awful in the 2nd half of the show. The basic plotline isn't anything new it felt like the writer took inspiration from 80s-2010s Indian movies bcs the storyline is exactly the same as many Indian movies with a taste of Kdramas to it. The middle portion was infact full of illogical elements which can be laughed upon. They made fun of neuroscience in many ways and not to forget, of psychiatric and psychological treatment methods. I will never complain about the ML's passive character because I always think both ML and FL should have the same essence in a story, but I don't think Lee Sang Yoon's character wasn't at all futile. She would have been doing more while bearing 2 identities at the same time but rather she sticked to one thing and absurdly ignored the other in an entire sense tsk tsk tsk. Even for the most major character of Lee Ha Nee turns one dimensional after first few episodes and started exaggerating her role. I mean there are few jakka who at least deliver a good piece without much to complain about but there are some others who fail from many angels, that's the case here. It's visible that the writer is a rookie. I am particularly disappointed with Song Won Suk's acting though his outfits were all aesthetically beautiful. The 1st 2 are very good but are minor roles here. In other minor characters were, Jung In Ki as Kang Myung Guk, Yeon Ju's father ,Na Young Hee as Seo Young Won, Mina's annoying MIL, Song Won Suk as Han Seung Woon, Mina's husband, Jin Seo Yun as Han Sung Hye, Song Seung Ha as Han Sung Mi, Mina's younger SIL. Sorry couldn't help but mention all these names bcs in fact they're good actors. Kim, the house manager for Han family, Lee Won Keun as Ahn Yu Jun, Yeon Ju's only friend at prosecution and Mina's older SIL are some major roles. Kim Chang Wan ahjussi as Noh Hak Tae, Hanju's legal head yet great supporters of lead couple, Kim Won Hae as Ryu Seung Duk, the chief prosecutor at Seoul Central District Prosecution, Jun Gook Hwan as Han Young Sik, Hanju's chairman and Mina's FIL, Ye Soo Jung as Dir. There are in fact many familiar faces in here which is another reason to look forward to this drama though it failed to a great extent. Together, they try to resolve the issues in both Yumin & Hanju and also dig into the mysteries of both past & present while unveiling astonishing truths about themselves. Han Seung Wook (Lee Sang Yoon), Mi Na's in-law cousin and heir to the largest share at Yumin, comes forward to Mina and tries to protect her bcs she was her first love. Confused by everything happening around her, Yeon Ju tries to adjust into the completely new environment but unable to control her rough & outspoken behaviour. She loses her memory due to amnesia and everyone takes her as Mi Na. Mi Na suddenly disappears from an event on an usual day but in her stead Yeon Ju was found severely injured at the same venue. Lee Ha Nee got a double role character in here playing both Prosecutor Cho Yeon Ju and a conglomerate DIL Kang Mi Na of Hanju, who are lookalikes. But I came here to only be disappointed and frustrated. I don't watch anything ongoing so what got my attention later was the overwhelming response to this show in Korea for an internationally less talked Kdrama. I have loved her acting for a long time and the plot saying the drama is a female centric got me even more excited. The first and foremost reason I came to ONE THE WOMAN was Lee Ha Nee. So basically this kind of graph picks up a lil low but suddenly rises up, goes on stably for a lil while and then again suddenly declines to it's lowest point just to keep up at the same level until the data is over. A ''product life cycle graph" drama -_- Yes!!! If you don't know what that is, you can google and see for yourself.
