I Was His Wife, Never His Family

Synopsis

Thirty six year old Claire Bennett has been married to 40 year old Kyle for eight years, raising her 16 year old daughter Lily. Kyle inherited Bennett's Diner, his family run town restaurant. For eight years, Claire devoted herself fully to the business. Whenever trouble arose, everyone turned to her. Claire believed they were building a life and home together. When Lily got into a prestigious summer academic program and needed $6,000, Claire wanted to borrow the money from restaurant funds. Kyle said no: business money was off limits for family needs. The next day, Kyle’s 21 year old son Mason from his first marriage came back to town. Claiming he needed a pickup truck for diner deliveries, he got a $15,000 down payment from the restaurant with Kyle’s full approval. Claire finally saw the truth: it was never about money, but about who Kyle chose to provide for. She soon realized Kyle planned to leave the family diner to his biological son. After eight years of hard work, Claire had no place in its future. The $6,000 revealed she had spent years running someone else’s family business, mistaking it for her own. Claire filed for divorce and left Bennett’s Diner behind. Using her years long experience, she started small with catering jobs. Overcoming failures, money troubles and loan rejections, she eventually opened her very own restaurant.

Episode 1 might make you go "what IS this lunatic" and bail. He's my favorite short-drama actor and even I hesitated. Please stay with it!! The acting is unreal, the way his eyes go, the way he smiles, each one gets me >_<

My favorite of his modern-set work and honestly my favorite short drama full stop. You get the complete unhinged-psycho performance, and I'd say his acting leveled up here. If you're working through his filmography, this is the one.

The plot is hard to follow and never really comes together. With all the flashbacks and dream sequences, the pacing has no tension at all…
