Kim Hye Soo and Kim Ji Hoon Star in Coupang Play Series 'It's Not Adultery That's the Problem Now'

Actors Kim Hye Soo and Kim Ji Hoon are generating buzz for their on-screen pairing as a married couple in the Coupang Play series 'It's Not Adultery That's the Problem Now'. The drama explores the story of a seemingly perfect couple whose lives unravel when rumors of an affair lead to unforeseen events. The collaboration between Kim Hye Soo and Kim Ji Hoon alone has garnered significant interest.

In the series, Kim Hye Soo plays Kyung Hee, a popular interior influencer, while Kim Ji Hoon portrays her husband, Jae Hong, an actor living in the shadow of his successful wife. Jae Hong becomes entangled in an affair with their neighbor, Dr. Soo Jung. However, the drama is not merely about infidelity; it is a black comedy that delves into larger secrets and incidents, presenting an unpredictable narrative. Jo Yeo Jeong and Kim Jae Chul also star, with the complex interweaving of the four characters serving as a key viewing point.

Bloggers note that Kim Ji Hoon has expanded his acting range beyond his previous gentle image, taking on villainous and intense roles in works like 'Flower of Evil' and 'Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area'. In 'It's Not Adultery That's the Problem Now', expectations are high for how he will portray Jae Hong, a character who appears normal on the surface but harbors pride, inferiority, and anxiety, especially in his dynamic with Kim Hye Soo. The series premiered on Coupang Play on July 31, 2026.
