부부의 세계 ‧ Drama ‧ 2020
If you want to see more of Kim Hee Ae drinking red wine and being cheated on, you should watch the other.

Both are also adaptations. The World of the Married is adapted from the UK drama, Doctor Foster while the movie, The Vanished is an adaptation of a Spanish film, The Body.

Similar type of drama with betrayal, cheating & love affairs is the main theme. Hirugao movie is the continuation from the drama. I really like both drama & movie. Saito Takumi juz too adorable.

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.
