[OTT Ratings] Cineplay’s Star Rating for Coupang Play’s ‘An Affair Isn’t the Issue Right Now’

An adult fairy tale that begins with Kim Hye-soo's "shit" and ends with "shit"—a rare case of all head and all tail, in the best sense. What stands out is the boldness of the writer-director-visual team in creating images rarely seen in K-dramas. Each episode is tightly woven, with every scene serving a purpose and preserving the show's organic flow. The obviously fake-looking sets and production design, together with meticulously calculated blocking and long takes and a theatrical rhythm, are in fact the stroke of genius that completes this bizarre story as an adult fairy tale.
