Some dramas tease scandal. This one leads with a tagline that says the affair is the *good* outcome. **“The Affair Was Just the Beginning”** just dropped its posters and trailer — and the title alone tells you this black comedy isn’t playing it safe.

The show follows two neighboring households: a picture-perfect influencer couple who’ve built their brand on a happy-family image, and a doctor couple locked in a bitter divorce battle. When an overwhelming secret connects both homes, it makes even infidelity look like the least of their problems.

## What The New Posters Reveal

The two teaser posters couldn’t be more different. Kyung Hee’s (Kim Hye Soo) home glows with vibrant colors and energetic vibes — until an out-of-place electric drill prop and the tagline **“An affair would have been better”** hint that something much darker is brewing.

Meanwhile, Soo Jung (Cho Yeo Jeong) poses elegantly with a wine glass, paired with an equally unsettling line: **“A divorce lawsuit would have been better.”**

## An Affair Would Have Been Better: Inside The Trailer

The trailer opens on Kyung Hee’s seemingly perfect life — a self-made influencer who rose from a single-room residence to a luxury home, alongside her devoted husband Jae Hong (Kim Ji Hun). Next door, Soo Jung watches their happiness with envy while fighting a messy custody battle with her husband Bo Sung (Kim Jae Chul).

Then the cracks show: Kyung Hee spirals over rumors of her husband’s affair, while Soo Jung is left covering her mouth in shock after witnessing something far bigger.
