As You Stood By

**CONTAINS SPOILERS**... Another great show from South Korea. It's very interesting, however it has few flows by being a bit unrealistic. For example, it starts with the character whose dad was abusing (beating up) her mother. Her friend also gets abusive husband and one of her customers also has abusive husband. I think it's way too many abusers around one person which makes it a bit unrealistic. Another unrealistic thing I noticed is that her friend's husband who is abusive has sister who is cop and she found out her brother's wife was trying to report him and she threatened her to not do that. Basically she took her brother's side. Who would do that? Especially when we're talking about women. Usually women stick with each other, especially when it comes to such things like abusing. I can't even imagine if I was a wife beater and my sister would find out about it and instead of giving me a hard time she would threaten my wife instead. Come on, it's not even realistic. Anyway, like I said, if we close an eye on those small mistakes, TV show is interesting and touches important topic that sadly still exists in our society. That is why I'm still rating this show higher despite those mistakes. I mean, this show is great, just could have been better if they would avoid those mistakes, for example if they would make it like sister wasn't aware that her brother was a wife beater. I think it would be better and more realistic.
