“The Affair Was Just the Beginning”: An Affair Was the Least of Their Problems

Turns out infidelity was just the opening act. New stills from “The Affair Was Just the Beginning” reveal that the real crisis — a hit-and-run and a hidden body — is pushing every character toward an explosive breaking point, and the drama’s two leading women, Kim Hye Soo and Cho Yeo Jeong, are both about to fight back in very different ways.

From Affair to All-Out War

The black comedy centers on a picture-perfect influencer couple whose curated happy-family image collides violently with their next-door neighbors — a doctor couple mid-divorce — over a secret far darker than either infidelity. Previous episodes already exposed Jae Hong’s (Kim Ji Hun) affair and the truth behind a hit-and-run accident involving the couples’ children. Now, with everything out in the open, the fallout is spiraling fast.

What the New Stills Reveal

Kyung Hee (Kim Hye Soo) collapses after learning her daughter caused the accident and discovering her husband’s betrayal in the same devastating blow — but the new images show her regaining composure, signaling the start of a calculated counterattack rather than a breakdown.

Soo Jung (Cho Yeo Jeong), meanwhile, is spotted in a striking scene at a hardware store, picking up heavy tools — an image that raises immediate, unsettling questions about what she’s planning next.

Adding fuel to the fire, one still captures Choi Sang Chul (Lee Doo Seok), attorney to Bo Sung (Kim Jae Chul), secretly breaking into Kyung Hee’s home — a house the show describes as packed with secrets like ticking time bombs.

Why This Show Keeps Escalating

What makes this drama compelling isn’t just the scandal count — it’s how each revelation makes the last one look small by comparison. Framing the story as black comedy lets the show lean into absurdity even as the stakes turn genuinely dark, a tonal balancing act that’s tricky to pull off but seems to be working here. With two formidable actresses at the center and a plot now involving concealment of a body, the next episode looks less like a continuation and more like a detonation.
