I just saw yesterday's episode and I have one question, can people in South Korea actually be put in jail for adultery? I saw the scene where Soonie's sister is caught were her married boyfriend and the wife takes them to jail.

LOL ;D
I was thinking the same thing, if we had that law here in the U.S. ALOT of people would be in jail. Including alot of celebrities.

can people in South Korea actually be put in jail for adultery? I, too, was really surprised by this episode. Is adultery really treated as a full-fledged crime? I couldn't believe that Youngie's boyfriend's wife summoned all of those policemen and investigators at that moment and then entered the hotel room in a V-formation! "...Room service!"  |

Yes, it's a crime in Korea.
Korea is not the only country where it's a crime, but in other countries where it is a crime, the punishment is a lot milder or is there just in the book.
I think there have been controversy over this from time to time, whether to keep it or throw it away.
But the feminists are against getting rid of adultery as a crime. Feminists are really strong in Korea, you know...

Yeah, and alienation of affection, too. But I wonder when the last prosecution was.

*****Just wondering....what is "alienation of affection"? Would it be the same thing as "Not tonight dear, I have a headache", only every day of the year?   |

No - alienation of affection is a charge against a co-respondent in a dissolution/divorce suit. The charge is against a third party for alienating the adulterous party's affection/loyalty in a marriage. It's stealing someone else's love by whatever means used: sex, money, attention etc. It was once one of the leading issues in divorces and it's still on the "books" if needed. However, many states, including Illinois now have "no fault" divorce which means that no specific ground be cited for a dissolution suit to go forward. The litigants are the Petitioner and the Respondent; under the old law they were just plain old plaintiff and defendant ;D. Now it's titled a Petition for Dissolution. Ah, progress!

Well, soapy, it IS progress. It takes the criminal tone out of divorces which are, after all, usually just two people who've made a terrible mistake and are trying to get out of it. And it is a contract under the law, nothing more. (Morally may be a different matter, that's a different topic.)
