The Wife's Reckoning
About this drama
The source for this entry is a synopsis of 461 characters in 4 sentences, a middle-length source with no ending stated, and 2 transcription facts come first: the source's 2 curly apostrophes are rendered with straight apostrophes, and the source's 4 curly double quotes are rendered with straight double quotes. With that fact in place the source reads: Three years into a cold, loveless marriage to wealthy heir Derek Ward, Irene endures daily cruelty from her ruthless mother-in-law and endless excuses from her absent husband. When the mistress moves right next door with a "secret love child", Irene's world shatters. What starts as a fight for dignity soon unearths a deadly secret: her mother's "accidental" death was no accident. With nothing left to lose, she will burn down every lie the Ward family built. The frame and resolution are left open at the line where the source stops. No ending is stated. Three catalog facts frame the entry. The run is 36 episodes, standing alone at that length, one of the batch's odd, non-round runs. The registry column lists 5 against the API's 36, part of this batch's systematic split between free counts and full counts, disclosed with the API figure used here. The counter reads 679 views, fourth of twenty, in the upper half. The byline is ZMDrama, the first of its 3 entries in this batch, and the platform marks the series completed.
