I love this drama so much that I wrote my first review in IMDb. I found the show from Netflix. This is a story about how a young, poor, talented pianist (Lee Sun-jae) fell in love with his teacher (Oh Hye-won.) Oh Hye-won was a married woman, who entered the marriage out of calculation to advance her social status. In fact, her life was full of calculation until Lee Sun-jae entered her life. Lee Sun-Jae, a young man who was madly in love with Oh Hye-won, was not afraid of how their love was seen in other people's eyes. He just wanted Hye-won to love him back with honesty. I was really impressed by the production quality of the show. Yoo Ah-In (as Lee Sun-jae)'s acting was stunning. He depicted a shy yet fearless young man precisely. His acting was a package: not only through his words and eyes, but also his eye brows, his mouth, and all his body languages. Kissing scenes are common in drama, but passion from him was the most contagious. I have also watched other older drama by Yoo Ah-in. Secret Love Affair was the better one. Kim Hee-ae (Oh Hye-won) was an outstanding actress so the chemistry between the two was able to shine. When they were playing piano, you can feel the emotions between them. It is like music is where they could talk about their love loudly without any concerns of the world. The directing and music were so beautiful that I kept replaying the show after I have finished the show. I like how the show makes you wonder what is considered moral or not. Secret love affair is of course immoral in the eye of the society. But is a marriage based on interests really purer? However, I wasn't a big fan of the latter part of the story ,which was full of the obnoxious calculation and loud augments among those who were hungry for status and money. This part seemed to fall back to the typical format of Korean Drama....
