I just watched an interesting movie called "My Wife Got Married." Korean drama. What was interesting about it, I thought, was that it dealt with the issues of a bigamous marriage, only it was the wife that has two husbands, not the husband who had two wives. Don't know if I'd personally be in favor of such a union or not, but that's not the point.
The point is, they worked with the issues that relationship would have, and I thought they dealt with it very well. It wasn't perfect. In fact, I think the child, born several years after the establishment of this bigamous marriage, was almost two years old before some of the issues were resolved. What I found interesting was that it did work out, and that it took the absence of the woman both men loved to get them to recognize and build their own relationship as co-husbands and fathers. Also interesting is the fact that, even after the wife had let them know where she was after she disappeared with the baby, they didn't go there right away, couldn't go until the issues between them had been resolved.
I admit, I also took perverse pleasure out of the fact that the men had to share and not care that the baby might not be theirs. Usually when you speak of relationships other than monogamy, it's the man with the bunch of women. I thought it "fair" that at last there is a plot in which it's the woman who desires polygamy. HAHA, MEN! But seriously. Totally different vibe to that of "Biglove."
