Love Affairs In The Afternoon

I want to start by saying that I don’t agree with cheating in my personal life but dramas about cheating always have some good drama. (I feel like Hyeon on WWW Search when she was watching her drama)

This drama is about Ji-Eun who is married but falls in love with a married man named Jung Woo and ends up having an afternoon affair.

Ji-Eun is not happy in her marriage and it seems like she never was. She is a good wife but at this point in her life feels very indifferent about her marriage. Even though she cooks and cleans for her husband she feels like she is not appreciated and taken care of. Looking at her and her husband I don’t know why she married in the first place and I would’ve liked to see the beginning of their relationship but I guess that’s not how the story goes. We also learn that her husband and her don’t have sex and did not sleep together for years only held hands in bed 😩. We also see that her husband becomes attracted to his coworker who is very nice to him, makes him laugh, and feel wanted. I think that he also got caught up in the routine and didn’t feel loved either. My problem with Ji-Eun is the fact that she doesn’t communicate with her husband. She doesn’t tell him how she feels or what she wants. She can’t expect for him to just understand what she feels. We can see that he is a good hearted husband And at one point he acknowledges that he hasn’t been taking care of her and he was sorry for that even saying to her “ let’s live a happy life.” Unfortunately by that point her heart is already confused. I feel like if they married because of love and they would’ve just talked about their wants and needs things would be different.

Jung-Woo on the other hand, was married for only one year before he moved back to Korea. His wife left him living alone for 3 years before reuniting with him. I feel like he probably wasn’t as in love as he thought he was and after all that time apart he couldn’t get those feelings back. He also feels mistreated and like his wife is embarrassed of him because he didn’t get his masters. I also have a feeling that she either cheated on him or for raped because she took a pregnancy test but he hasn’t been sleeping with her. I am not defending him, but he did try to tell her how he felt but she talked over him by saying they should register their marriage in Korea ASAP her already knowing she was pregnancy and now had that urgency to get married officially.

In this drama we also meet Choi Soo-A who is having affairs with different guys. She explains that she only married someone with money but did not marry him for love. She eventually falls in love with a painter but her husband finds out about her affair. We will see more about how this affects her family as they deal with the affair and all it’s repercussions.
