I'm glad I have come across this underrated gem! Love affairs in the afternoon is the Korean version of the Japanese 2014 drama Hirugao.
The storyline that covers so many layers from love to marriage, to family and then to the adultery.
No, it doesn't romanticize cheating but it shows you how alone a person can be.
You could feel the pain that the characters went through and see how their actions hurt them and the people around them while having an affair.
This drama also shows why we should think over and over again before we decide to get married.
The cinematography, setting, and the OST's added to why this drama is worth the watch. It helps you to get the mood and theme of the drama which is sad but romantic.
Just love the chemistry and acting of Lee Sang Yeob and Park Ha Sun. They make good couple. They both fit amazingly into introvert type of persons.
Both leads are introvert and honest characters. They both knew that being in an affair is not the right thing to do. But when they are with each other they express themselves better, they are happy. They are themselves.
The second leads did a great job as well. Choi Soo Aah and Do Ha Yoon affair looks really good on screen.
This show gave me a beautiful feeling and I will never be able to get over this drama. The way I felt while watching this drama is completely different. I have watched numerous dramas especially slow-burn dramas but this one always have a special place in my heart.
