On the Way to Airport - Episode 9 & 10 Summary


Remembering Hyun Joo’s words, Soo Ah calls the airport and informs them that she’ll be resigning. As she returns home, Hyun Joo catches her, asking why she’s going in the wrong direction. When Soo Ah tells her that she quit and asks if she did the right thing, Hyun Joo tears up at how much Soo Ah suffered until now tending for an unappreciative household, and for working so hard. 

Hyo Eun is alarmed when Soo Ah comes home saying that she quit, and acts defensive because she thinks her mom quit just because she wouldn’t go to school. But Soo Ah assures her that she doesn’t have to go today, so they’ll just spend time together without any thoughts or responsibilities. 

Do Woo meets with another name on Grandma’s list, but the real owner, Mr. Moon, is out of town. His assistant informs him that Annie came to seek him out before, catching Do Woo’s interest. He tells him to come back tomorrow if he wants to meet Mr. Moon in person. 

Meanwhile, Mi Jin runs into Ji Eun at their hotel, and the two groan as they realize how close their rooms are to both Jin Suk and Hye Won’s rooms. Mi Jin tells Ji Eun to make a scene and move her and Hye Won’s rooms away from Jin Suk’s ASAP—they can’t let Hye Won and Jin Suk meet. Ji Eun can’t believe that Do Woo would really have an affair, but Mi Jin just snaps at her just to stop acting suspicious. 

Soo Ah and Hyo Eun visit Grandma at the hospital, whereupon she immediately scolds Soo Ah for rashly quitting her stable job. She says she would have been able to take care of Hyo Eun if she’d waited just a few days, and she’s even been doing her physical therapy exercises every day. When Soo Ah tells her that she’ll be moving Hyo Eun back to her old school once the paperwork is set, Grandma hotly orders them out. 

As they head home, Hyo Eun complains about Grandma’s temper, saying that being a working mom is hard work. Soo Ah just sighs, wondering why everyone else seems so mad about her personal problem, before suggesting that they go somewhere far away, just as if she got on a flight to someplace far. 


On the way home, Soo Ah calls and informs Do Woo that she quit after seeing the peaceful laundry woman. “To think you were tired enough to envy someone who was doing laundry,” he laughs. He tells her she did the right thing, and asks what kind of comforting she needs from him. Soo Ah heads to Do Woo’s house and enters one of the rooms, which is completely empty save for a single pillow. She looks at the pillow for a moment before laying down on it, immediately immersed in her relaxed surroundings. 

When Do Woo comes in, she smiles serenely up at him, and he settles down beside her. She tells him that this room seems to have a special power to separate her from the rest of the world: “Just like you, Do Woo.” Do Woo smiles and reaches out a hand to stroke her cheek, and they lie together just like that. 


Afterward, Do Woo leads Soo Ah out behind his house. He asks her to wait a moment before going inside to fetch something—a laundry hamper. “The first step of my comfort was my house,” he says. “The second step is laundry.” Okay, that’s cute. She tells him that she’s never done laundry in a yard before, and they hang up the laundry together, all smiles. 


At night, the magic ends, and Do Woo drives Soo Ah home. He asks if Hyo Eun is home alone, telling her that the phrase she says the most is: “Hyo Eun is home alone.” He wonders how free they can be when they have a family. “Maybe our age is when we say goodbye to the old things in our lives: our jobs, and…” He doesn’t finish his thought, but simply smiles and tells her that thankfully, he’ll be here for her. 

Mi Jin lies alone in her hotel bed, trying to make sense of the web of relationships at play right now: Jin Suk, Hye Won, Soo Ah, and Do Woo. Mi Jin tells herself that she shouldn’t make any stupid mistakes again the same way, and when she receives a text from Jin Suk inviting her to a beer at their “usual place,” she ignores it. 


Jin Suk is indeed sitting at his usual bar when Hye Won and Ji Eun walk in. Hye Won recognizes him and calmly takes a seat beside him while Ji Eun nervously excuses herself to order some drinks. She texts Mi Jin about the emergency, causing Mi Jin to scream in frustration. 


Hye Won wastes no time in questioning Jin-suk, asking if he knows Do Woo. Jin Suk recognizes the name as “Malaysia,” and Hye Won informs him that Do Woo is her husband. Jin Suk greets her and expresses his condolences about Annie. Just as Hye Won starts to ask him about Soo Ah and Do Woo, however, Jin Suk receives a call from Mi Jin, who wants to talk back at the hotel. Jin Suk immediately excuses himself, much to Hye Won’s chagrin. 

Joo Yeon hears the news about Soo Ah’s resignation and muses to herself that she should let Jin Suk know about it immediately. When she reaches Jin Suk’s room, however, she catches him letting Mi Jin into his room without a word. 

In the room, Mi Jin says flippantly that seeing him here seems more wrong than it did back home, and she’d better head back. Jin Suk just laughs, telling her she can relax—he doesn’t go for older women, anyway. He suddenly mentions that he just saw Do Woo’s wife, laughing that it sure is strange that everyone knows him. Meanwhile, Joo Yeon runs into her coworkers on the elevator, holding back her tears. “Do you guys know what I saw just now?” 

Mi Jin notes that Jin Suk’s claustrophobia went away after marriage, and Jin Suk seems touched that Mi Jin still remembers that about him. She tells him that she worried about him during every fitness test, and laughs at the idea of it being a phase, just like she was to him. He tells her that she should be honored to spend time with him, but she scoffs: “Why should I be happy to sit next to my dark past?” 

At that, Jin Suk leans over and kisses her. When she doesn’t resist, he says smugly, “Your body won’t lie. How dare you pretend I’m a mistake?” She punches his shoulder, calling him pathetic, self-centered, and pitiable, but he points out that she’s only drinking water because she’s afraid she can’t control her true emotions otherwise. In response, she downs her glass of wine. 


Jin Suk tells her that she’s jealous of Soo Ah for living with him, and when Mi Jin jokingly agrees, he suddenly flips it on her, calling her a beautiful and capable woman. He agrees that he’s self-centered and pitiable, and asks why she can’t just spend some time with that “pitiable” being—after all, they once lived together, and they’re comfortable with each other. “Soo Ah is my wife and you’re…” Jin Suk trails off, either unable or unwilling to finish his thought, and drinks his wine. Jin Suk, however, has one more thing to say. He tells her he can only share his one hundred percent with her, and asks if Mi Jin has ever missed what they had. He tells her that she’s the only one who knows everything about him, and that she’s comfortable to him. “If you miss that too, we should start seeing each other again. Let’s go where our hearts take us.” 

Mi Jin leaves, but starts to pound her head into the wall. “Where my heart takes me,” she mumbles to herself. Her coworker watches from afar as she suddenly turns back around and enters Jin Suk’s room again. 


Do Woo goes back to meet Mr. Moon, who tells him about Annie—she would come to spend time looking at Grandma’s ornament, and he always wondered why it was so important to her. A flashback shows Mr. Moon explaining to Annie that this quilt was Grandma’s first work that first got her into the business, a secret hobby that kept her away from studying or doing anything else. She cried her secret into the vase, wishing for her, her parents, and her grandparents to all be able to live happily in the future. 


According to Mr. Moon, she then asked if he would let her father work for him here—not Do Woo, but her biological father. Annie had said that he traveled often that he couldn’t be with her a lot, but that he was very good at pottery. She made Mr. Moon promise not to tell anyone about what she said before looking around at the field behind Mr. Moon’s house, musing that her father loved sceneries like this. Do Woo stumbles into the field, recalling an earlier conversation with Hye Won. She’d insisted that Annie didn’t know her biological father, but Do Woo hadn’t believed her. He looks around at Annie’s field, devastated at her suffering. 

As Do Woo leaves, Mr. Moon says he can’t share Annie’s secret. Still, he knows what she wanted to protect: family. She thought that if she kept lying well, she could protect both families. Do Woo doesn’t quite understand the meaning of “two families,” and sits in his car deep in thought. Later, however, Mr. Moon’s assistant knocks on his window and tells him that Annie used to live with her father before she met Do Woo, and that her “two families” refers to her biological father and Do Woo’s families. 

Do Woo is shocked to hear this, and he stop the car as he drives home, confused and angry. He and Suk drink that night, and Suk guesses that Annie and her father must have been in contact, promising to meet at that field. Suk suggests that they start figuring out where they talked to each other, but one thing is for certain—Hye Won didn’t raise her. So why, Suk demands, did she leave her father and come here? He tells Do Woo to stop protecting Hye Won and get to the bottom of this. 

Do Woo tries to log onto Annie’s email at home, and works until dawn trying to guess the password. 


At the airport, Jin Suk gathers his crew, but halts when someone mentions that tonight is Soo Ah’s farewell party. Jin Suk coolly excuses himself, clearly furious. Mi Jin follows close behind, trying and failing to distract him from his anger, while Joo Yeon complains that this wasn’t the response she wanted. 

Hyo Eun and Soo Ah sit at home doing work when Jin Suk calls. He demands to know how she could so “selfishly” quit her job without his consent. She asks if he even thought about what might have driven her to quit, that Hyo Eun has been struggling for weeks at school from bullies and soccer. She tells him that there’s no way he would understand since he’s never seen her like that. Jin Suk tells her that he won’t tolerate her selfishness any longer, but she only says: “So don’t.” 


Soo Ah meets her former co-workers at her farewell party, where she receives an expensive bracelet as a farewell gift. The mood is solemn, and Soo Ah asks them all to remember how great she was at her job. Mi Jin asks what difference that would make, but Soo Ah explains that she doesn’t want her career history to disappear after she worked so hard. 

When Mi Jin tries to laugh off the solemn mood, however, their younger coworker suddenly blurts out that Mi Jin was part of the reason for Soo Ah’s hardship. She says that Soo Ah always looked out for her when everyone else saw her as a rival, and she respects her completely: “So how did you end up with a friend like that?” 

She says that she and Joo Yeon saw Mi Jin go into Jin Suk’s room late at night, and that she knows they were having an affair. Soo Ah is shocked for a moment, but then takes it in stride, telling her that Mi Jin and Jin-suk are very close—they might even have married if she and Jin-suk hadn’t married each other first. Mi Jin agrees, saying that they were only talking about business, but her tone is cold: “Is that a problem?” Joo Yeon tries to dispel the awkwardness while the others take the coworker out. She apologizes for ruining Soo Ah’s party, and everyone else files out quickly after. 


Soo Ah tells Mi Jin that she should have been more careful when there were so many people watching, but Mi Jin just laughs that there sure aren’t any secrets in the world: “After all, who would have thought that the wife of the man you’re having an affair with would be on the same flight as me?” 

Do Woo is still at home trying to log onto Annie’s email, and finally guesses it right with his own name as the password. The first email he sees was sent a day before her death to her biological father, telling him she was coming to Korea. “Mom isn’t happy, but I want to be there for Grandma’s birthday,” she writes. Another email: “I don’t believe Mom, but if you really are avoiding me, you only have to give me one reply and tell me you’re okay. I’ll wait however long it takes.” Do Woo looks through all of their emails, seeing that she and her biological father had been in contact for years. And one last email, sent from her father two years ago, telling her he loves her. 


Do Woo thinks of all the times Hye Won lied to him, and remembers all the times he gave Annie a ride to Mr. Moon’s. One of Annie’s emails says: “Dad, why didn’t you come today? I waited all day in the field. You didn’t show up, but I’ll keep waiting for you. No matter what Mom says, I know you didn’t abandon me.” 

Mi Jin tells Soo Ah that she knows she’s cheating with Do Woo, and tell her to stop seeing him. 

As Do Woo stares at the computer, Hye Won returns home. He looks up at her and says, “You… Who are you?” In flashback to Hye Won and Annie’s first meeting at Do Woo’s home and then cut to a little while later, with Hye Won laying out a plan. “I raised you all along,” she had told Annie. If Annie did as she was told, Hye Won said she’d try to get her dad to come back. And to dig Annie’s fears in a little deeper, she’d said her dad had run away from her.

Finally, we hear those words that had sent Annie running out of the airport: “Your dad died.”

Hye Won sits in her room now, contemplating what to do. She comes out to the kitchen where Do Woo and Suk are sitting and drops down to her knees in apology. Suk angrily tells her to sit down and explain herself before saying she’s sorry. She does sit, only to apologize again.Do Woo asks when Annie’s father died. Hye Won reveals that it was April 25th, 2014, and Do Woo remembers that the father’s last email to Annie had been sent the day before.

Defensive, Hye Won says she had to do what she did – before Annie came along, Do Woo never looked twice at her. She needed him to take interest in her and listen to her, so she figured if she had to raise Annie anyway, she might as well say she’d been raising her all this time.

But Do Woo doesn’t want to her to apologize for whatever happened. He looks her in the eye and says he married her for love, so he can handle the truth. The problem is Annie. The young girl had waited so long for her father and Hye Won had taken advantage of her emotions. Do Woo’s voice rises with rage: “She’s your daughter!” Hye Won’s expression hardens. She tells Do Woo there’s something he’s misunderstanding: “Maternal instinct isn’t a natural instinct.”

It might have been easy for Do Woo to feel paternal love towards Annie and to have that love grow, but Hye Won says that she only had fear towards her daughter and experienced nothing at all that resembled love. With tears threatening to spill from his eyes, Do Woo asks if she really didn’t hold any affection for Annie, desperate for something from her.


But Hye Won coldly responds that she never did. Do Woo can only stare in sad disbelief and cry as Hye Won continues, “That’s right, I didn’t. That’s me. I don’t believe in love.” She only believed in Do Woo and his mother, but she can’t even do that anymore. Right now, she just wants Do Woo to bury her wrongdoings so she can continue with work.

Suk shouts as he demands to know how she can bring up work at a time like this, but Hye Won screams over him, “This is who I am! What are you going to do about it?!” She’s sobbing now, and Do Woo is still too shocked to say anything.

Soo Ah walks back home in a daze, remembering Mi Jin’s words at the restaurant. Mi Jin had explained that the only reason she was with Jin Suk was because he had been with Hye Won and Mi Jin had tried to get them separated somehow. “You’re the one having an affair and I’m the crazy one for trying to keep it a secret,” she told Soo Ah. And once she found out the mystery man was Do Woo, she wanted Soo Ah to give up on Jin Suk.

Flustered, Soo Ah said that she was scared. She wondered how serious a crime she committed if she’s feeling this scared. Mi Jin practically rolled her eyes and said that that’s not what Soo Ah’s afraid of – she’s afraid of losing Do Woo.

In the present, Soo Ah takes a seat outside the house and leans against a railing, her response to Mi Jin still in her head: “The connection between us is very weak. It could dissipate on its own. I’ve not once thought that this would last forever. It will end sometime, somehow, even if I don’t try all that hard.”


Mi Jin comes home to find the young coworker who’d called her out waiting by the door, completely sober. The coworker boldly asks if Mi Jin apologized to Soo Ah. Mi Jin tries to lay down some authority, but the coworker states she saw Mi Jin leaving Jin Suk’s room and then go right back inside. And she didn’t come out until the next morning.

The coworker went along with Mi Jin calling it “business” at the party because she thinks Soo Ah would be better off not knowing. But she’s bringing it up now so that Mi Jin will feel guilty about this for the rest of her life. Mi Jin looks pretty trapped, but she regains her composure and says that she will feel guilty, so this better be a secret between them.

Once inside her apartment, Mi Jin texts Jin Suk, asking if he consoled Soo Ah over quitting. She gets an indifferent response, so she asks instead if he wants to have a drink. Jin Suk says he’s too tired today and tosses his phone aside to keep watching TV. So Mi Jin has a drink alone, scoffing to herself that he only calls when he needs her.


Meanwhile, Do Woo drunkenly stumbles into his old office. He gazes out the tall windows, remembering his kiss with Soo Ah in that very spot. Though he was the one who’d told her that moment would give her strength, he muses now that it’s him who’s finding comfort in the memory. He bangs his head on the window over and over, telling himself that what happened today is a matter between him and Hye Won. No matter what, he won’t let Soo Ah be blamed for any part of this.


Jin Suk tells Soo Ah to move to New Zealand for the time being. However, Soo Ah wants to bring Hyo Eun back to their old apartment. Now that she’s quit her job, she’s going to take care of their daughter and their home the best she can. “Who asked you to do that?” Jin Suk says, annoyed. Soo Ah takes a moment before asking what they both know: “You don’t like me going back home, do you? I’m asking if you don’t like living with me.” Jin Suk confirms this, saying he doesn’t like her way of thinking, the way she cooks, or even the sound of her moving around. He hates all of it. 


Surprisingly, Soo Ah blankly says she doesn’t feel anything, finally getting a different expression out of Jin Suk. Her heart used to beat so crazily at his words, but now she doesn’t feel a thing, even when he pretty much said that he hates her. She’s adamant on moving back to the apartment, so she tells Jin Suk to live with his mother. If he doesn’t want to do that, she’s sure there are other ways to settle this. 

Je Ah runs into a very drunk Mi Jin and takes her back to her apartment. He gets her settled on the couch, but when he tries to tell her he’s leaving, she’s already asleep. Just then, Mi Jin gets a text on her phone and Je Ah notices that it’s from his brother-in-law. His expression grows dark as he reads the message.

Later, Jin Suk comes by and rings Mi Jin’s doorbell. When there’s no answer, he punches in the passcode like he owns the place and walks right in. And moments later, Je Ah comes down from the stairwell, glaring at the closed door.

Je Ah immediately heads over to Soo Ah’s, crying by the time Soo Ah reaches him. When she asks what’s wrong, he worries her further by saying he’s crying because she’s so pitiful. He reveals that Jin Suk and Mi Jin are in a relationship and he has the pictures to prove it. He urges her to look at the picture he took and use it so that she won’t be taken advantage of anymore.

Soo Ah goes back inside alone and prepares herself for whatever’s in this picture. She opens it up to see Jin Suk’s message to Mi Jin – he’d said that Soo Ah was moving back home, so he would live with his mother and stay with Mi Jin from time to time. Soo Ah sucks in a breath as she recalls Mi Jin saying she had a married man coming on to her. It’s too much to take in, and Soo Ah rushes to the window to get some air.

That morning, Soo Ah deletes the picture from her phone just as she gets a message from Do Woo asking to meet up. Do Woo is waiting outside in his car and when he sees Soo Ah come out in search of him, he raises his phone and takes a few pictures of her standing there. She finally spots him and they stay like that for a moment just looking at each other. Together again, they drive to their special place – the Han River.


Do Woo tells Soo Ah that he’s collected almost all of his mother’s ornaments. However, he still finds Grandma’s instructions on where to keep them all together rather vague. Soo Ah wonders if it could be a place like a bookstore in the country – somewhere that’s small, but still seems to hold everything.

He prepares himself for what he’s about to say next, as if he’s been wanting to avoid it. Something happened, he says, and while it’s nothing for her to worry about, he’d like her to do something for him. While he fulfills his mother’s wishes for the next six months, he wants her to be someone who will simply welcome his texts. But he makes sure to say that this isn’t the end of the line for them, and Soo Ah agrees to be that person for him.


Do Woo drops Soo Ah off at home and as she walks back to the building, Do Woo stops her with a call. He reminds her that this isn’t a breakup, but Soo Ah insists that she’s okay. Do Woo hangs up, clearly unconvinced, so Soo Ah turns around and gives him a cheerful wave goodbye. It gets a faint smile out of Do Woo and she turns back, hiding the pain on her face.

“It seems like Mi Jin is seeing my husband,” she thinks. She was going to cry to her heart out in front of Do Woo, but upon seeing him she could tell he was going through something much bigger and decided against it.

Je Ah plants himself on Mi Jin’s couch, determined to catch Jin Suk for himself. Mi Jin tries to convince him that she and Jin Suk are openly close and she actually does a pretty good job, but little bro isn’t leaving.

The doorbell rings and Mi Jin’s whole casual demeanor instantly fades. Je Ah checks the video screen — and sure enough, Jin Suk is waiting just outside. As Je Ah suspects, Jin Suk starts to punch in the passcode when Mi Jin shouts, “Don’t come in!” Jin Suk freezes. Mi Jin calls him and says she’s with a man, so he can’t come in.

And now, Mi Jin has no choice but to fess up. She tells Je Ah that she’d dated Jin Suk first and that after they broke up, he then dated and married Soo Ah. She says this like it’s a fair enough excuse for their behavior now, making Je Ah call her inhuman. Je Ah also reveals he’s already told Soo Ah about this, and Mi Jin blows up. She yells that he ruined everything and that he just messed with the wrong person. She shoves past him and makes a beeline to Soo Ah.


Though it looks like Mi Jin is the last person Soo Ah wants to talk to right now, Mi Jin gets her out of the house so they can talk. Soo Ah finally learns that Mi Jin and Jin Suk had already met and dated way before Soo Ah came into the picture. And though Mi Jin feels sorry for lying and for never warning Soo Ah about the type of man Jin Suk is, she swears that before the incident with Hye Won, she and Jin Suk never exchanged a real conversation.

Soo Ah stays silent, which only makes Mi Jin angry. “Why am I the only one giving excuses?” she says, “Do you have the right to say anything to me? Can you slap my cheek?” Soo Ah asks if they really did nothing in the hotel room that night. Mi Jin: “If I said we just talked all night…”


Soo Ah jumps up from the bench and starts to walk away. She stops and whirls around, her voice shaking as she tells Mi Jin that Jin Suk is Jin Suk, but Mi Jin was supposed to be her friend. The friend who she shared more with than Jin Suk. The fact that it’s not just anyone, but that it’s Mi Jin, makes her sad beyond words. “How could you… How could you…” Soo Ah can hardly speak as she cries.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t feel sorry to you at all,” Mi Jin says. She doesn’t understand why everyone – the flight attendants and Je Ah – is on Soo Ah’s side when Soo Ah is the one who had an affair. “Even if you lose a friend, it’s nothing to you. You have everything!”

Soo Ah tells Mi Jin to take Jin Suk then, but Mi Jin just yells at Soo Ah to throw him away first. And with that, Soo Ah turns around and walks away. Soo Ah stays up the whole night and forgets to wake Hyo Eun for school. When Hyo Eun comes out of her room, Soo Ah suggests the two of them go out and have fun since she’s feeling rather down today. Hyo Eun is ecstatic and says they should go somewhere far away. “Far away,” Soo Ah says, lost in thought. “Really far away… Okay, let’s go there.”


It’s time for a compromise. Do Woo sits Hye Won down and tells her how it’s going to be from now on, not once looking her in the eye: Suk will be in charge of the house, and Hye Won will still work with him for the exhibition, along with Ji Eun for their project. Hye Won asks him if he made this decision because of—…But Do Woo finally raises his eyes and warns her not to mention that.


Do Woo believes that this is their problem, and that it wasn’t caused by someone else. “You were my wife. I loved you. I leaned on you. And you were Annie’s mom,” he says, whipping out the past tense. “I didn’t come to this decision easily.” Nevertheless, when he comes back and when Hye Won is ready, he wants to part ways.


Meanwhile, Soo Ah and Hyo Eun set off on their getaway trip. They both breathe in the fresh air and cheerfully shout out that they’ve made it to Jeju Island. They break out in a run, ready to explore everything together. The two enjoy all the beautiful sights and the museums, and as the day goes on, both Soo Ah and Hyo Eun look the happiest they’ve ever been in a long time. As they take a look around, Hyo Eun beams that it would be great to live in a place like this. Soo Ah is still thinking about Hyo Eun’s words as they relax on the beach. Hyo Eun shows her some cute little crabs, and the smile on her daughter’s face makes her come to a decision: “Hyo Eun-ah, let’s live here.”

After a futile attempt at contacting Mi Jin, Jin Suk is surprised to see a text from Soo Ah saying she’s enrolled Hyo Eun at the international school on Jeju Island. He calls her right away and learns that Soo Ah has already taken care of things, while she lies that since there is no dormitory space available for Hyo Eun, she’ll be moving there to the island as well. Jin Suk sounds a little too happy to hear that. Way too happy, actually.


Consumed with her thoughts, Soo Ah ventures outside until she gathers the courage to call Do Woo next. She doesn’t speak at first, prompting Do Woo to assure her she can talk comfortably. She randomly asks him what he likes, such as a favorite singer. They talk about their favorites until Soo Ah says she did have a reason for calling – she doesn’t think she can fulfill the task he asked of her before. She tells him about her plans to live far away with Hyo Eun, so they won’t be able to follow the three conditions anymore, except for one: Don’t expect anything.


Do Woo looks absolutely crushed. Soo Ah apologizes, but she’s always feeling sorry and says that she can’t keep living like that. She’s been telling herself countless times that what they have is nothing, but she knows it’s not nothing. “In all my life,” Soo Ah says, her voice catching, “this has been the greatest thing. It was almost too much.” She hopes that if they stop now, it will become nothing. Do Woo can’t argue with that. He even tells her that he understands everything she’s saying. Soo Ah smiles through her tears and thanks him for everything. Then they both hang up, officially putting an end to their relationship.


The next day, Soo Ah excitedly runs out to meet Hyo Eun to tell her the school is able to accept her. Soo Ah promises to come back after she meets up with Jin Suk in Seoul. After Soo Ah retrieves Hyo Eun’s transfer papers, she visits Do Woo’s old office and takes a few pictures of the building. She runs into Hyun Woo, and she looks like she may break down as she quickly explains she was just passing by. Hyun Woo understands and says he won’t mention he saw her.

Mi Jin is sitting on pins and needles as she tries to get a hold of Soo Ah. Instead, she gets a text from Jin Suk, who’s delighted that he can rest now that his wife and daughter are leaving. Soo Ah finally answers Mi Jin’s calls, but she doesn’t bother answering any of Mi Jin’s questions. She merely says she’s moving far away and that she never wants Mi Jin to appear in front of her again. She hangs up and tosses her phone in the trash.

Once she secures a brand new phone and brand new number, she takes one last visit to the old apartment and makes sure to take the small bead Annie had dropped before she passed. 


Soo Ah’s last stop is with Jin Suk. As always, their conversation is all business as they discuss all the details concerning the move. When Soo Ah turns down Jin Suk’s offer to send money, she lies that she’d be able to manage since the cost of housing was so low. Jin Suk nods, looking as ready as ever to send his wife off. He gets up to pay the bill so they can head off to the airport.

Soo Ah heads downstairs first, only to stop dead in her tracks when she sees Do Woo walk into the café. When he sees her, all the emotions come flooding back to Soo Ah. Her tear-filled eyes reach out to Do Woo, as if she so desperately wishes she could close the gap between them.

Do Woo looks like he just might, which is when Jin Suk comes down the stairs and tells Soo Ah he’s ready to go. They both head in Do Woo’s direction, with Jin Suk walking right past him without a second glance.


But as Soo Ah nears, Do Woo takes this chance to grasp her hand for the briefest moment before passing by. Before Soo Ah steps out the door, they both turn towards each other one more time, the same large gap between them.


Do Woo looks pained to see her tears, so he gives her one reassuring nod. It only makes Soo Ah cry harder, but she finally turns around to follow her husband.
Personal Thought:

Things started to unfold and many things have come to light. What is behind Hye Won's secret? I am curious as why she lied to Seo Do Woo and what's gonna happen if she told the truth? She has married to Do Woo already and I think trust between a married couple is basic. This drama has made me wondered as how Seo Do Wo can get married to Hye Won? Is it because he pitied her or he does love her in the past?

Even more, why Jin Suk seems not to care for Soo Ah and Hyo Eun. They are his family yet he somehow takes them for granted. He's sure gonna regret it. This two episodes are now progressing them to break up and now it makes sense for everything to broke apart.

Hye Won indeed lied to Do Woo about Annie and the problem between two couples will soon have them to end it there. Besides, Soo Ah knew that Jin Suk doesn't want to live with her anymore. I am just waiting now for her to suggest divorce rather than living like that. Yet, even though I am sure Soo Ah and Do Woo will end up together, but they will need time to be together.
