The World Of The Married, which ended its run last month, was a runaway success, overtaking tiger-mum drama Sky Castle (2018) to become the country's most watched cable drama serial.

In particular, the star of the show, 53-year-old Kim Hee-ae, impressed many viewers at home and overseas with her portrayal of Ji Sun-woo, a doctor with a seemingly perfect life who discovers her husband's infidelity.
