His and Her Secrets (2023)

Piano Teacher, Good Wife, Trash Husband and Mistress

I watched this because the episodes are short and sometimes I like to watch dramas that get to the point. This one had many points. :")

Let me try to describe the plot: Wife and Trash Husband are married, he wants her to sleep with some creepy dude so creepy dude would invest in his company. She doesn't want that so he works with Piano Teacher to make it look like she's cheating on him and get divorce because he has a Mistress. Plot twist Mistress and Piano Teacher work together, plot twist Piano Teacher wants revenge, plot twist Piano Teacher now likes the Wife, plot twist Mistress now works against Piano Teacher... You get the point, it's like that till the end.

Honestly, it's entertaining. It's so bad it's good. The characters are fun. When you think that's the lowest they can go, they can go lower.

Wife:
- FL
- You think she is naive but she is not. She screwed them so nicely.
- She does have her stupid moments like going to see the Mistress alone but it's fine. She has more smart than stupid moments.
- I like how she didn't forgive the husband and she saw him for what he is, trash.
- When she told Mistress that she is now responsible for Trash Husband and his mother and they are her hell now, badass.
- If he treated me like that, what makes you think he will treat you differently? *Chefs kiss when she said that.

Trash Husband (let's just go though all the shitty stuff he did because he makes me so angry):
- Told his Wife to go and sleep with creepy dude so he would give him money.
- Set the Wife up that she is cheating so he could take the kid.
- Cheated on the Wife with the Mistress.
- Took the kid.
- Married said Mistress and called Wife to the wedding.
- Got into debt and pinned everything to Mistress.
- Beat up Mistress.
- Told Mistress to sleep with creepy guy so he could get money.
- Blackmailed Wife with their kid to sleep with creepy guy for money.
- He is also responsible for things in the past if what he did in the present isn't enough.
- I think I missed some stuff but every time he opens his mouth or even moves, he does something shitty.
- Ohhh, I remember the moment when he cemented himself as trash at the beginning. He said to his wife he can have ten years younger Mistress because he is the man and that will elevate his status but she can't have a younger guy because she is the mother of his child and that will ruin her image. He also said when the younger guy gets into his prime, he will leave her like he did. Wow, what trash.

Piano Teacher:
- ML
- Good? Bad? Anything is good next to Trash Husband, I will take it.
- He is first working with Trash Husband to make it like Wife is cheating.
- Later, we found out everything he did is for revenge.
- It's fine, even when he is working against Wife, he is helping her.
- He always saves her and he is cute.
- The funny thing is how he spawn's into scenes. Doors, what's that? There's a scene where he takes her home and then when Trash Husband opens the door, he is gone. How?????? The window????? I have no clue.
- Whenever Wife is in trouble, he appears out of thin air.
- He does leave out of the door so that's something.
- The angst with him and Wife was a nice spice to the story, I liked it.

Mistress:
- The definition of you reap what you sow.
- She married Trash Husband for money but ended up in debt.
- Obsessed with Piano Teacher when he doesn't even want to look her way.
- Asks for help from Wife but then betrays her instantly.
- Little less trashy than Trash Husband but just a little.

Overall, I recommended it if you want to watch something dramatic. Something where you will laugh even though it's not comedy.

It’s a guilty watch

I usually love noona dramas. I am so tired of the age old cliches were the male lead is much older decades even. But heroine is always young and beautiful. Chinese dramas do the reverse age gap very well. Thankfully the Chinese douban ratings also seem to love / like reverse age gap so it’s cool. Having said that, the age gap was a bit too much, I prefer if it’s 10/12 years at most. Anything more, can lead to awkward moments with the cast. Here the director was quite skillful so that camera angles did not focus on the lead during those awkward moments. So some scenes were not as enjoyable.
Separately both the female characters and both the male chacarcters acted well. The slimy husband really felt very slimy. The story was also very cliche. Anyways I did enjoy watching this but not as much as I had hoped.
