The scene of dialogues/utterances revealed the characters as follow: Episode 1 Min Hyun : You need to have what it takes to be able to take a step forward from where you collapsed. But you wouldn't know because you have it all. Sun Woo : I'm no different. Min Hyun : Does your husband beat you? Then what? Does he steal money from you? Sun Woo : I think he's cheating on me. And I'm scared that it might be true. Min Hyun : Why are you scared of that? You just need to find evidence and kick him out. Isn't life supposed to be easy for successful women? Sun Woo : Marriage isn't that simple. It's not a game where you can get up and leave just because you're out of money. It's a desperate matter that not only involves my own life but also the life of my child. Episode 1 Eom Hyo : This is Dr. Ji Sun Woo from Family Love Hospital. I told you about her, right? Yeo Byung : Yes, I heard a lot about you. My wife kept on complimenting you and told me you're a great doctor. Sun Woo : This is my husband. He runs a regional event company called T.O. Entertainment. He makes movies too. Yeo Byung : I see. Sun Woo : For the development of our community, I hope you'll take an interest in my husband's business. Sun Woo : My husband is so supportive of me. He's a hard worker. Lee Tae : Gosh, don't say that. Eom Hyo : You're so competent. Episode 2 Je Hyuk : You don't have to worry about being fired. Your wife never nags that you don't make money. You live in luxury thanks to a rich and successful wife. Why are you anxious? Lee Tae : What do you know? Seriously. Stop it. 55 Je Hyuk : Why is that successful and perfect Dr. Sun Woo so devoted to someone like you? Teach us your secret. Lee Tae : Don't you want to know too?

Honesty is the key to family life. In “The World of Married”, the researcher finds the second moral value that “honesty is the key to family life”. The scene of dialogues/utterances revealed the characters as follow: Episode 2 Sun Woo : You have another woman, don't you? Lee Tae : What did you just say? Sun Woo : I want you to tell me the truth. We talked about this when we first got married. We thought we might fancy other people after a while. We promised to be honest with each other if it happened. Do you remember that? If you admit to it, even now and get yourself sorted out, I might be able to forgive you. For a moment, you were just physically drawn to her. But, I can't forgive lies. Lying would be truly betraying me, so be honest with me. Are you having another woman? Lee Tae : Did you ask me if I'm having someone? Me? Cheat on you? Sun Woo : I know you are. You did this last time too. What's the matter with you? Lee Tae : There's no other woman. Is this how weak our trust is? Sun Woo : Stop lying to me! Stop disappointing me! Lee Tae : It's me who's disappointed! How can I speak to you when you're not making any sense? I'm a busy guy. Why are you wasting my time? Sun Woo : Gosh! Lee Tae : You're the only woman in my life. Don't you know that? You're overworked and stressed. It looks like your emotions are unstable. Are you okay? Sun Woo : You just said I'm the only woman in your life. The utterances above shows in “The World of Married”, honesty is an indispensable thing in marriage. This is what Lee Tae did not do as a husband.

Seol Myung : Then end it with Da Kyung as soon as possible. Lee Tae : Forget it. You'd never understand. Seol Myung : What's so complicated? Lee Tae : When I'm with her, I feel alive. My creativity gets going. I get inspired. I'm fond of her and cherish her. I love her. Seol Myung : What about Sun Woo? 56 Lee Tae : I love her too. Seol Myung : What gibberish is that? Lee Tae : The human heart doesn't feel just one emotion. You don't stop loving just because you're married. My love for Sun Woo and my love for Da Kyung is different. What drives me mad is that I love them both at the same time. Seol Myung : What insanity is this? How could you love two people at the same time? Don't you think you're shameless? Lee Tae : You don't understand, do you? Seol Myung : You wonder how that's possible, right? Lee Tae : You don't know until you've experienced it. My heart is sincere to them both.

Sun Woo : It's one of the basic questions, so answer me honestly. Is there anyone you're seeing regularly? Or maybe you have more than one? Da Kyung : Just one. We don't meet every day. We meet 2 or 3 times a week. He's married. Sun Woo : Does his wife know? Da Kyung : She has no idea. Sun Woo : I see. Are you sure about that? Da Kyung : He says his relationship is like wearing a mask. He says he's unhappy because his marriage is nothing but a shell. Sun Woo : If he's unhappy, why won't he get a divorce? Da Kyung : I'm sure it's complicated. They have a kid, and there must be money issues too. That's why getting married is such a headache. Sun Woo : You'll get the result in two hours.

Seol Myung : Don't get me wrong. You see, listen. He told me that he's going to end it. He asked me to keep it a secret until then, so I had no choice. You have no idea how angry I was at him.

People can enjoy exploring the story of literary works but also taking messages in literary work from the film or movie. The author expresses his or her feelings, thinks, ideas, arguments, and messages in a form of literary work such as in a movie or drama. Moral value belongs to literature, therefore, the moral values within the literature are going to decide what the readers must do after reading a plot and understanding the characters’ utterances and behavior within the literature. In a Korean drama TV series entitled “The World of Married”, the characters in the story reflects some moral values. From the movie, the readers and audiences can find the moral values based on the explanation and descriptions given by the characters in the story specifically, both in the behavior or the utterances in the story. The description of the moral values found in “The World of Married” as follow: First, there is no perfect family life. There are always problems that come up. In the story, Sun Woo is a woman who works as a family doctor. He has a husband named Lee Tae, a film entrepreneur. They have a very good life with a successful career. From their marriage, they have one son named Joon Young. Sun Woo and Lee Tae's marriage life seems very harmonious. Until her husband committed betrayal to destroy their domestic life towards a divorce. 63 Second, honesty is the key to family life. Honesty is an easy word to say, but the fact is often difficult to do. This is what happened to Lee Tae, who at first glance saw no problems with his marriage life, although he kept a big secret that brought his family to the brink of destruction. Third, have principles in choosing or deciding something. The affair can not be just one- sided. Married couples need to maintain their commitment and be firm in principle. In the story, Lee Tae has been blinded by another woman and betrayed his wife, Sun Woo. Lee Tae loves his wife and his other woman, a young woman named Da Kyung. Fourth, loyal to a partner and have no affair with another person. It is not a sin to love someone, but the wrong thing is betraying your partner for another love. In the story, Lee Tae ‘loves’ two women at once, Sun Woo and Da Kyung. Therefore, we must choose and must be firm from the beginning in making choices, especially when we are committed. In an affair, two people are wrong. Not just the actor, but the couple who welcomed the 'temptation' was even more wrong. Fifth, be careful in choosing a best friend. In sharing things especially marriage or our problems with friends, we must be more careful because it can backfire to us. In the story, Sun Woo recounted his marriage problems to Seol Myung as his coworker and Go Yem Rim as her neighbor regarding her suspicions of her cheating husband where Seol Myung already knew about it and she lied and hid Lee Tae’s affair from Sun Woo. Enemy characters in real blankets are also seen in this drama. Not only Seol Myung but Sun Woo also betrayed by her other friends. Sun Woo's friends knew that Lee Tae is cheating but they decided not to tell Sun Woo instead they helped Lee Tae to keep his affair as a secret from his wife. Sixth, love the wrong person (love is blind). Love is indeed not a sin or a crime. However, loving someone while that person still in a marriage relationship is the wrong thing. In the story, Lee Tae had an affair with Da Kyung even his marriage life is perfect. Le Tae felt his love for Da- Kyung is different and at the same time, he loves Sun Woo too. Seventh, all decisions have risks. After suspecting her husband Lee Tae, Sun Woo decided to have a divorce. She tried to find and collect evidence of her husband's affair with Da Kyung. Then he went to see a lawyer and tried to take custody of his son. Every parent's divorce has always a risk. Eighth, revenge is not a good solution. When she knew her husband, Lee Tae, was having an affair, she was struggling to deal with the problem. Starting from meeting a lawyer, suing for a divorce, obtaining custody of her child then she decided to take revenge. Sun Woo has a 'love' relationship with Go Ye Rim’s husband, Je Hyuk, Sun Woo’s friend. Go Ye Rim is Sun Woo's neighbor and friend but she knew and hid Lee Tae 's affair with Da Kyung by having a vacation with Lee Tae, Da Kyung, and other Sun Woo friends. Ninth, avoid violence in the family. Joon Young who originally intended to live with his father increasingly suffered when he saw his parents arguing. He witnessed how his mother laid on the floor in a weak condition and was seriously injured after being hit by her father. After seeing what his father did to his mother, Joon Young decided to live with his mother. He does not even think Lee Tae as his father anymore. Tenth, children become victims of the problems of divorced parents. Close to the end of “The World of the Married” showed how their son became a victim. Joon Young, a good obedient boy then turned into a naughty child after the divorce of his parents. Joon Young has become a Kleptomania. This is a behavioral disorder that makes people steal or shoplift. Joon Young is financially sufficient but he often steals his friends' belongings.
