New character stills have been released for KBS’s new mystery-comedy If You Have an Affair, You’ll Die, featuring lead actors Jo Yeo-jung (9.9 Billion Won Woman) and Go Joon (Oh My Baby).
The drama involves Jo Yeo-jung and Go Joon in a marriage sealed by contract, which includes the literal and quite ominous clause: “If you have an affair, you’ll die.” As the story unfolds for both the leading and supporting characters, though, the drama aims to explore human nature and how, despite feeling guilty, people continue to behave in shocking and dishonorable ways.
Jo Yeo-jung takes on the role of best-selling crime novelist Kang Yeo-joo, who is revered as the queen of mysteries. Her mind is often pre-occupied, trying to think of different ideas and methods for killing people off in her stories. She always strives to write the most bizarre and surprising deaths (So, maybe a little makjang meets Game of Thrones?).
Go Joon plays divorce lawyer Han Woo-sung, who is the picture-perfect dream husband to Jo Yeo-jung. He enjoys success in his career, being highly skilled, professional, and charismatic. But he also has a gentle side, which is brought out by his wife, and he showers her with sweetness and romance.
Written by Lee Sung-min (Mystery Queen) and directed by PD Kim Hyung-seok (My Golden Life, Oh My Venus), KBS’s upcoming Wednesday-Thursday drama If You Have an Affair, You’ll Die is currently set to premiere on December 2.
