At first sight, the new series The World Of The Married seems like just another average Korean love affair TV drama. But this one seems to be taking a different path.

Ji Sun-woo, played by 53-year-old actress Kim Hee-ae, is simply perfect: an established doctor at work, an ideal wife and a doting mother. She faces a personal crisis in life when she finds out her husband Tae-oh is having an affair.
