Love was the start of delusion, I thought no one would be able to break what I thought was wholly mine
Doubt Turned Into Reality:
Meanwhile, Jin Sun Woo figured out her husband’s affair without his notice. The affair was confirmed when Yeo Da Kyung (mistress of her husband) one of her patients visits her as she was pregnant. Yeo Da Kyung spitted out that she has been in an affair with a married man without his wife’s knowledge. But the truth is Ji Sun Woo knows everything. As Da Kyung pushes Tae Oh to break up with his wife, the anguished Sun Woo plans to divorce his wife with lawyers.
Aftermath Of Separation:
Sun Woo broke up with Tae Oh and she turned his son Joon Young against his father. With investigative assistance from her patient Min Hyun Seo (Sim Eun Woo), herself suffering at the hands of an abusive boyfriend (Lee Hak Joo), and with some risky maneuvering involving Tae Oh’s accountant and unabashedly promiscuous neighbor Son Je Hyuk (Kim Young Min), Sun Woo schemes to ruin the lives of those who have wronged her. After 2 years, Tae Oh is married to Da Kyung. They have an infant daughter, and he has hit the big time by producing a blockbuster movie with his father-in-law’s money. Joon Young turns very depressed and devastated as he was affected very much by the separation of his parents.
Past Mistakes:
Human nature is that we do everything for our evil desires without thinking about the consequences it brings. Lee Tae Oh loves his wife, and he wishes to end up with her. He does everything to convince her. But Ji Sun Woo has completely given up on the relationship. Lee Tae even tried to end up his life, Ji Sun Woo runs towards him and saves him. Ji Sun Woo’s life has been struck among hate, betrayal, revenge, and the love towards Lee Tae. Joon Young turned frustrated due to his separated parents and their inconsistent decisions. He moves out of the house without his mother’s knowledge.
The End:
“When it comes to married couples, there are no assailants nor completely innocent victims of such things can’t be established,” Ji Sun Woo said in the final episode. This sums up the intense love-hate war that has been going on between her and Tae Oh. Ji Sun Woo stays alone waiting for her son to return home, the show has an open ending. A face blurred man enters the house and Ji sun woo hugs him. It may either be the return of her son or it may be her imagination.
