"The fact that the cheating is revealed in the first episodes shows that cheating itself is not what the story will expand on. But is only the motif of the story, which focuses on the main character and her surrounding relationships. Cheating itself is unethical, but the curiosity that everyone has about something considered as a taboo. The viewers, they themselves would not commit but wonder about - makes the people keep on watching the show," Yun Suk-jin said.
About how the drama series will end, Yun Suk-jin continued, "The World of the Married- is not just another play on prosaic justice. It will not show Sun-woo taking easy revenge on her husband. It is predictable that the following episodes will hold a twist for Sun-woo since the drama intends to show her who is seemingly perfect on the outside. As just another ordinary person with suppressed desires inside her."
