Cinematographer Lee Hyun‑soo utilizes a muted teal‑gray palette for corporate settings, contrasted with warm amber tones inside the home.

2. Synopsis & Narrative Architecture
At its core, “Cheating Family” follows Lee Min‑ho (35), a mid‑level marketing executive, whose extramarital liaison with a junior colleague spirals into an increasingly complex web of deception that threatens to destabilize his nuclear family. The film’s narrative unfolds in three interlocking acts:
- Act I – The Unveiling: Min‑ho’s secret messages are discovered by his wife, Park Ji‑yeon (33), through a series of inadvertent digital breadcrumbs (messenger notifications, location‑based services).
- Act II – The Confrontation: Ji‑yeon confronts Min‑ho, leading to a mediated dialogue facilitated by a family therapist, Choi Dong‑wan (48). The act intersperses flashbacks that reveal Min‑ho’s childhood experiences of parental neglect.
- Act III – The Reconfiguration: The family’s younger sister, Kim Hae‑ra (28), becomes an unexpected ally, exposing the patriarchal expectations embedded in the family’s dynamic. The climax does not resolve the affair but re‑orients the family toward a negotiated coexistence.
Narratively, the film adopts a non‑linear structure, juxtaposing present confrontations with past recollections. This temporal oscillation emphasizes how memory and present decisions co‑construct identity.
