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.

+ both stories are revolved around cheating and marriage problems
+ the FL started to breakfree from her comfort zone, and meet someone to start warmed her up
+ i thought OWM is a POV of YDK in TWOM, because the wife of the man she is seeing is successful and has strong aura

A love story affair with a bit different storyline & plot with mature sexual content but both is worth watching drama. If you like mature love affairs story I definitely recommend this drama.

Michi, a 26-year-old high school math teacher, tentatively accepts her boyfriend's proposal of marriage, uncertain of her love for him, but feeling pressure from her father and society to do what is expected of her.

Hikaru is a 17-year-old boy frustrated by his home life with his single mother. After being expelled from many high schools for bad behaviour, he enters Michi's class as a new transfer student.

As their relationship grows, they realize they both feel they've lost themselves to the pressures of those around them, and it is this common bond that draws them dangerously close. What follows is a heart-wrenching story of forbidden love where Michi must face society's judgement for corrupting a minor, abandoning her fiance, and disappointing her parents and co-workers.
