My Mother is Having an Affair (2020)

Animal welfare guidelines

"Mom Has an Affair" has a good story line, however, it lacks on-screen chemistry between the male leading actor and the female leading actress that portray Kang Seok Jun (actor Lee Jae-Hwang ) and Oh Pil Jung (actress Hyun Jyu-Ni). There is no intense eye-contact between these two leading characters. The sweet on-screen chemistry develops between the second leading characters, Oh Sun Jung (actress Nam I-An) and Lee Tae Woo (actor Seo Hyun-Suk), they steal and save the show. Also, the tender heart character Chief Surgeon Choi Dong-Seok (actor Kim Dong-Gyun) helps catalyzing the story line when it is needed.

It is heart wrenching to watch Leon/Jumbak, the pet dog looks so lethargic for the whole 122 episodes. I just hope the “humane” Animal welfare guidelines are followed by the studio that produced "Mom Has an Affair". Leon becomes a lifeless ornament in the show, it is distressing to watch.

I'm sad it's over. I really loved this drama. In the beginning I wasn't quite sure if I liked the storyline but I enjoyed how the show played out and the ending met my hopeful expectations of "normal" retribution and all that stuff.

I'm not sure if I had a favorite character -- but I really liked Choi Dong Seok (the doctor) and his uprightness that was never swayed by personal desire. I enjoyed watching Oh Sun Jung (Pil Jung's sister) and Lee Tae Woo (Eun Joo's brother) relationship evolve - they were super cute together. And last but definitely not least -- Kang Seok Hwan ( the bad brother). He did a great job acting a bit aloof and as a mama's boy and I couldn't help but notice what great facial expressions he had in some of the scenes -- It'd be nice to watch another show with him.

I don't normally re-watch 100 plus episodes but could see myself watching this one again sometime down the line.
