There are so many reasons why The World of The Married is probably the best drama of the year but I will only name three.

The first one is how consistently good and captivating it was throughout the whole drama. Each episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, each episode will keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting more. It doesn't give you only one major piece of the story per episode or only one cliffhanger. No each episode is the gift that keeps on giving to the point sometimes you wonder when you will have time to digest all that is giving to you.

The second one is how realistic the drama is. It's about cheating but not just for the sake of character development not. It's about cheating and how couples can destroy each other over it, it's about being cheated on and figuring out how to heal and move on from it. The show also doesn't sugar coat the still too present misogyny, the lack of support between women, the hardships of being in an abusive relationship and much more.

Last but definitely not least, is Kim Hee Ae. While the whole cast is commendable for their fantastic performances, Kim Hee Ae absolutely slayed as Sun Woo, the working mom trying to do everything at the same to provide for her son. Each of her key scenes were so powerful and raw it makes you wonder if she has ever been in such a situation (I hope not).

There are many more reasons to watch this drama but if I were to enumerate them I would probably spoil you so my best advice is just to go for it and enjoy the rollercoaster of emotions waiting for you.

Warning: The World of the Married is a drama targeting mature audiences and comes with a trigger warning for violence, abuse and sex.
