Postscript of Love: A Dying Wife’s Final Chapter, Written in Revenge

When 'Til Death Do Us Part' Becomes a Threat

How do you measure a marriage? Is it in years? In shared memories? Or, in the case of Dramabox’s explosive new drama, Postscript of Love, do you measure it in betrayals? For Ruth Shaw, the answer is a horrifying 99—one for every affair her husband, Ivan Green, has flaunted in her face.

This is not a story about saving a marriage. This is a story about leaving one, in the most spectacular and devastating way possible. Postscript of Love is a 62-episode masterpiece of the Counterattack genre, a story that asks a chilling question: What does a woman do when she has absolutely nothing left to lose?

The series opens on a scene of pure, gothic horror. A stormy night, a dark hospital room. Ivan pushes a deathly pale Ruth, her face ashen, and snarls, "Being with you only makes my stomach turn. I will only love her." Ruth jolts awake. It was just a nightmare. But the reality is hardly better. The nightmare was just her subconscious confirming what she already knows: her husband despises her. And, as a doctor has just confirmed, she has liver cancer and only one month to live.

This is the brilliant, brutal premise of Postscript of Love. It’s a "woman scorned" narrative supercharged by a ticking clock. Ruth doesn't have time for a messy divorce; she has time for a calculated demolition. If you are a fan of high-stakes revenge drama, psychological warfare, and the sweet, sweet taste of karma, you need to watch Postscript of Love online right now.

A Marriage Forged in Humiliation

To understand Ruth's revenge, you have to understand her prison. Through a series of sharp, painful flashbacks, Dramabox paints a portrait of a marriage that was never a romance—it was a hostage situation.

We see their wedding day. There are no loving glances. Instead, the air is thick with whispers from the guests: "He'd rather die than marry her." "She must have forced him." This isn't a celebration; it's a public shaming. And as they stand at the altar, Ivan’s vow to his new bride is not one of love, but a chilling promise: "Ruth, you'll regret this."

He spent the next three years making good on that promise.

The story truly ignites when Ruth, armed with the knowledge of her impending death, walks in on Ivan with yet another woman. This isn't a sneaky affair; it's a performance. He deliberately caresses the woman, taunting his wife. This is his 99th betrayal. But for Ruth, it’s his last.

She is terrifyingly calm. All the pain, the tears, the pleading of the past three years have evaporated. She is a woman who has already died. She places the divorce papers on the table. "I want a divorce."

Ivan laughs. He assumes this is just another "trick," a desperate ploy to get his money. "You're not entitled to my property," he scoffs. But when he sees the cold, empty look in her eyes, he realizes this is different. He signs, eager to discard her. "Let's go to City Hall today."

It's here we see the first flicker of Ruth's illness. She stumbles, her body wracked with pain. She asks to go tomorrow. This small request, this moment of vulnerability, is all the opening his mistress needs. The woman, Mistress #99, swans in to call Ruth "shameless," accusing her of faking it to "cling to Ivan."

Ruth doesn't even look at her. Her focus is laser-sharp on her husband. "Get your 99th woman out of here." The line is delivered with such ice-cold precision it stops everyone in their tracks. The doormat is gone. A queen is rising from the ashes.

The Five Promises: A Contract for Chaos

The divorce isn't simple. After they receive their application receipt from City Hall (the legal first step), Ivan immediately blasts the "good news" to a group chat—a chat that Ruth is still in. He publicly mocks her, "Ruth, this isn't a prank, right? When it's time to sign the final docs, you will be here."

This final, public humiliation solidifies her plan. She replies, not with anger, but with a counter-offer. She will sign. She will disappear forever. But first, he must promise her five things.

This is the genius of her Counterattack. The "Five Promises" are not the pleas of a heartbroken wife; they are the strategic moves of a general on the battlefield. She's not asking for his love. She's demanding his time, his presence, and his resources. She is weaponizing his eagerness to get rid of her.

Her first demand? "Take me to the banquet tonight."

Ivan, thinking this is her one last pathetic attempt to play "Mrs. Green," agrees. He wants the divorce finalized, and if playing along with her "games" for a few days is the price, he'll pay it. He has no idea that he’s not paying a price—he’s walking directly into her trap.

Highlight: The Auction of a Soul

The banquet scene is where Postscript of Love proves it is a top-tier melodrama. It is a masterpiece of public cruelty and a perfect example of what makes Dramabox shows so addictive.

Ruth, pale but stunning, arrives with Ivan. He holds her hand. It's the first time he has ever done this in public. The crowd is stunned. Ruth herself is momentarily shocked. But Ivan is just an actor, playing the part of a doting husband to humor her, all to get her to sign the final papers.

The main event is an auction. A beautiful painting comes up for bid. We learn this is one of Ruth’s own works from years ago, a piece of her soul from before this marriage crushed her. She wants it back. She bids.

And then, Ivan starts bidding against her.

The price climbs higher and higher. The crowd is ecstatic, misreading the entire situation. "Oh my god, he's bidding against her!" "This is how rich people flirt!" "He must love her so much to spend all that money on her painting!"

Ivan wins the painting. He is the conquering hero. Ruth, genuinely moved, believes this is a final act of kindness, a memory of the man she thought she married. She looks at him, her eyes soft for the first time. "Thank you," she whispers, reaching for his hand.

Ivan lets her almost touch him, then pulls away. He takes the microphone and smiles at the auctioneer. "Send it to the Ford family."

The humiliation is absolute. It’s a nuclear bomb. He didn’t just buy the painting from her; he bought it for someone else. He took her past, her identity, and publicly gifted it to his real love. As Ruth turns and walks out, a ghost leaving her own execution, we know two things: Ivan Green is a monster. And his downfall is going to be glorious.

The Characters: A Phoenix, A Narcissist, and A Ghost

The power of this Counterattack drama lies in its perfectly crafted archetypes.

Ruth Shaw (The Phoenix): Ruth begins as a tragic figure, a woman who accepted three years of psychological torture for the memory of a love that never existed. Her cancer diagnosis is the catalyst that burns the victim away, leaving behind pure, unadulterated purpose. She is now "Rina," the artist from the synopsis, a woman on a mission. Her "Five Promises" are a brilliant narrative device, giving her the power to meticulously deconstruct the lives of those who wronged her, one promise at a time.

Ivan Green (The Gaslighter-in-Chief): Ivan is a phenomenal villain. He is a textbook narcissist who believes his wealth and status make him untouchable. He didn't just cheat; he systematically tortured Ruth to punish her for a marriage he felt forced into. His cruelty is his drug. He delights in her pain. The auction scene is his masterpiece. He is so blinded by his own ego that he sees Ruth's five requests as weakness, not as the five-point plan for his destruction. His eventual "repentance" is foreshadowed, but after what we’ve seen, it’s clear no apology will ever be enough.

Summer Ford (The True North): This is the "her" from the nightmare. The "Ford family" from the auction. The 99 affairs were just distractions, a symptom of Ivan's cruelty. Summer is the cause. She is the woman he actually loves, the one he’s been waiting for. We see her post on social media, thanking someone for the "big gift" (the painting) she received right after returning to the country. Her arrival is the final piece of the puzzle, the true antagonist Ruth must defeat before she dies.
