You'll definitely enjoy "The world of the Married"! Han So Hee plays in it aswell and let me tell you... she's such a good actress that you'll truly dislike her character in this drama! Just Wow, the acting is a 11/10 and the story already starts to go crazy from the first episode! This is definitely a must watch. :)
- Married couple trope where the husband cheats on wife with a mistress
- Messy revenge plot (as in a lot of things happen and reputations are ruined)
- Dinner with husband's parents and a fight breaks out
Both dramas include genres of revenge, mystery, drama, romance, and infidelity. The characters featured also similar in the sense that we have a strong female lead, a cheating + lying husband, and an evil mistress.
The World of the Married is a bit more explicit in skin-ship and has a dark vibe overall with the FL being overly obsessed with the revenge aspect. It's more of a thriller and definitely not for the faint of heart cause it leaves a lasting impression even after finished the series.
Overall, it's a great watch but WILL leave you traumatized since the characters are so well developed and you get a chance to connect with them and sympathize.
