Korean dramas put successful parents on trial

During filming for the upcoming Coupang Play series, The Affair Was Just the Beginning, actress Kim Hye-soo wondered aloud why the police lights weren't turned on when a patrol car responded to a situation in her scene. The production team explained that police officers often respond with their emergency lights off due to resident complaints. Filming then continued as planned.

In the drama, a hit-and-run accident involving two high school daughters led to a confrontation between their parents. The parents, played by Cho Yeo-jeong, Kim Jae-chul, Kim Hye-soo, and Kim Ji-hoon, are a doctor, influencer, and entertainer. The influencer's daughter was attending a wine party at a neighbor's home when the incident occurred. The parents, holding hands, accused each other of causing the tragedy.
