Imo the start of this is the breakdown in both MS and YJ's families. In both families, mom and dad are estranged, the kid is left alone, and there is NO communication between any family members. The family members are disconnected from each other, and they seek love and attention somewhere else, So we have 6 players acting independently to entangle like spaghetti. FL had no idea Mr Joo is MS's father.
The snowball effect here is very severe dark humor and amazing satire :) Family members do bad things and KEEP QUIET AND LIE, and misinterpret what is happening instead of asking.... In this drama, there is enough emotional currency and family members do answer correctly when asked, so asking WOULD work... in some other contexts, ppl lie so asking is futile :) In this drama, family members are also under outside scrutiny yet ignore the outside evil forces that are tearing them apart even more, like the lawyer and Mr. Joo and their business connections
So this is a stark comedy of miscommunication and disconnection, and desperate futile attempts to connect somewhere - anywhere - at any cost - AS LONG AS IT IS EASY :)
The satire makes a clear message - DON'T DO IT
The tragedy is that FL's family was very tight and loving but then got complacent, lost the kid, and parents lost each other. MS's family was just experiencing a fresh start, got rid of bad guy dad, and then the mom did not have the inner strength to move on forward.
The original title is 'The affair is not the problem right now' which makes more sense
the original title is too sophisticated satirical. Too many ppl would totally miss the joke in it I think the current title is perfectly descriptive of the plot and less of a potential bone-picking with hypocritical puritan audience

I am gonna rewatch the entire series bc at the start I wasnt interested in watching this so I wasnt paying too much attention in ep 1 and 2 - BUT there are sooooo many details and it is easy to miss it or forget it from one week to another, AND also it would be super easy to miss it if you binge watch everything... So... seems like what I SHOULD have done is rewatch the previous episode before watching the current , and also rewatching many parts of the drama
Like the end of ep 6 - I was so shocked with the twist - yeah it was diabolical, esp with his inability lmao - and it happened so fast and the camera was so genius, merging the MS scene with the next scene with YJ, so I though that the ahs and sighs came from what MS was looking at lmao and maybe that is true :) In any case, there are TONS of situations like that, where the scenes are not totally clear unless you rewatch
WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE SALT BAG AT THE END OF EP 6? if I remember correctly, there was a phone inside it - and ended up in a freezer.... now there is only the video... ... but also I remember seeing her throw salt around... Did the kid see the lawyer leaving after he took the phone.. ?
I dont think they are even paying attention to that there is a greater issue to handle
Nah, they truly do not mind. If it was only about greater issues to handle, FL would not be asking her daughter if she felt betrayed by MS, and would not be asking the girls if they fought - and her daugher answering they are rock solid. Truly, FL's family fully accepts their daughter, lgbt+ or not. AND THE STUPID DAUGHTER TAKES HER PARENTS FOR GRANTED AND LIES TO THEM FOR BIG STUFF. YJ is a toxic and quite spoiled teen
if you want to watch black comedy without cheating ass messed up family drama watch family matters that show did…
thanks for the recom, I will watch that. I just checked it out :) this drama is the same concept but in flip opposite - dark comedy about a real family trying to hide their wrongdoings
Omg Affair Was Just the Beginning is the flip opposite of this - a real family that causes messes for itself, trying to hide their wrongdoings also twisted dark humor and so many surprises
it is a pleasure to read comments like this reading comments section is like hunting for gold, you never know what you gonna find - there is some trash, some ordinary used items - and then some diamonds
Was the affair really the beginning or was it kyung-hee’s need to improve the quality of life for her family…
What you are talking about - the very beginning when they are poor and the house leaks, so she is guilty bc of her desire to be wealthier and then creating a company that did make them wealthier??
OMG how can you make up such an accusation which is completely out of any sense - except of sheer sexism.
So ML is not guilty for cheating but FL is guilty for making the family wealthy???? OMG I had no idea you could even say something trashy like this.
ending twist was hilarious yet again hahaha. i hate that i have to wait a week for a single new ep. i'd feel bad…
their relationship is so toxic and codependent, MS is such a selfish jerk and YJ is such a doormat pushover as@kisser and the whole mess actually starts with her lying to her parents. Both are super toxic and awful and irresponsible.
Well their parents are stupid too. MS's mom is a good enough parent and MS told her, but her mom is a selfish liar too... and YJ parents are so out of the loop, it is pathetic
The drama is sooo masterfully filmed, the details are STUNNING GENIUS AMAZING FUNNY CATCHY, the satire is astonishing For example: scene of nervous frantic panicked out of her mind Mrs. Joo but filmed through the crystal chandelier, all sparkly crystal balls... omg... Then Mrs. Joo fiddling with her purse when she bought the wrench.. Or how the ML scuffled away from her after they waved goodbyes to the kids and his wife.... Omg... The Queen in the red dress all cool and calm.... The two lover girls in a very toxic codependent relationship.... And the consequences.
The cameraperson is a GENIUS and the acting and script are AMAZING This is a fantastic satire
I have to rewatch the entire drama bc it is so packed with details!!!!
Dr Joo is clearly an experienced bad guy bc he tried to trick FL into hugging etc under pretense of caring about her driving - but he never offered to call a driver for her and really help her. He bailed out as soon as she refused his advances. He left her to drive alone while totally out of her mind, and cause an accident. Yeah no wonder Mrs Joo wanted a divorce and found ML attractive
This drama is a satire on adult and teen life. Practically EVERYONE adult has cheated and/or been cheated on.…
Now I can sign it on the dotted line, it was written by a snowflake who CANNOT READ. I never normalized anything. I just wrote what real life is like and I said practially all adults chatead AND/OR WERE CHEATED ON
SO READ IF YOU WANT A DISCUSSION. ** you are having a whiney monologue **
so I am not interested in hearing ever again from you
FAREWELL do not ever write to me or else I will block you

YJ especially - she just does NOT communicate with her parents. She saw a strange man in the house and did not tell her family

I never supported polygamy
YOU ARE MAKING UP SLANDER
Which shows your weakness as a human being to even try to be objective
FAREWELL you are wasting time of everyone
AND I AM LEAVING YOUR POST HERE FOR ALL TO SEE WHO YOU ARE -
@SIA24 IS A HARASSING SLANDERER
