Watch: Kim Hye Soo, Kim Ji Hun, Cho Yeo Jeong, And More Are Dangerously Entangled In Cheeky Trailers For “The Affair Was Just The Beginning”
Upcoming drama “The Affair Was Just the Beginning” has released new character trailers and posters of its principal cast!
“The Affair Was Just the Beginning” is a black comedy about the spiralling chain reactions that unfold when a popular influencer couple, who have been selling the image of a happy family, and their next-door neighbours—a doctor couple locked in a bitter divorce battle—become entangled due to an overwhelming secret that renders even an affair trivial.
Kim Hye Soo will star as Park Kyung Hee, a self-made interior design influencer and CEO, who proudly holds a Gold Button award in her poster.
In her character trailer, Kyung Hee begins by boasting, “I achieved it all. A million subscribers, a younger husband who always treats me tenderly, and even a dream home. But one day, nasty rumours began to circulate about my husband. I thought they couldn’t be true. There’s no way my Hong would do that. So I followed him. I needed to see for myself.”
The trailer then takes an ominous turn, with Kyung Hee concluding, “From that day, my life completely fell apart.”
Meanwhile, Kim Ji Hun will star as Lim Jae Hong, Kyung Hee’s younger husband — a toyboy.
His character trailer begins with Jae Hong introducing himself with his stage name as “actor Cha Eun Bin.” “Ah, would you like an autograph?” he asks cheerfully, before awkwardly realising, “Oh, [you want] my wife’s autograph?”
When asked about his neighbour Soo Jung (Cho Yeo Jeong), he insists, “Soo Jung is really just my neighbour. I gave her a ride once; that’s all that’s happened between us.” He then drops his smile as he adds, “But you really can’t tell my wife about this,” before concluding, “No one loves their family as much as I do.”
Cho Yeo Jeong will play the role of Ahn Soo Jung, the elegant dermatologist who lives next door to the influencer couple Kyung Hee and Jae Hong.
In her character trailer, Soo Jung seems to be hiding something as she says, “The new neighbours who just moved in? I don’t know much about them either — only that our children go to the same school. That’s about it. I don’t want to get too involved with that family. I just want my child to get to where she wants to be. That’s enough for me.”
Kim Jae Chul will play Joo Bo Sung, a dermatologist who has moved out of the house and is currently in the process of divorcing Soo Jung.
In his trailer, Bo Sung fields a question about his marriage and whether he’s getting on with his wife with an awkward laugh and an evasive reply. When asked about his new neighbour Kyung Hee, he responds with a meaningful smile, “Oh, the new neighbour? She seemed to be pretty famous in the interior design world. I’m thinking of having her do [the interior design for] my office as well. I want to become friends with her.”
The final character posters introduce the two couples’ daughters. Kyung Hee and Jae Hong’s daughter Ye Ji (Jeon Si Hyun) wears headphones and an innocent smile, while Soo Jung and Bo Sung’s daughter Min Seo (Do Yeong Seo) exudes an entirely different aura as she clutches a large suitcase with a blank expression.
“The Affair Was Just the Beginning” premieres on 31 July at 8pm KST and will be available to watch on Viki.
