Observe: spoilers for episodes 7-8 of under.
1. Lies that she’s fantastic: When Ji Han stored calling her “sister-in-law”
Ji Han is firmly convincing himself that he’s executed meddling in Ah Jung’s and Do Han’s lives. He’s decided to be zen about all of this and failing miserably, particularly when Ah Jung finally ends up having to come back and stay with them after her id is leaked to the press by Ji Han and Do Han’s vengeful half-sister Choi Seung Ah (Park Ah In). Ji Han completely hates this flip of occasions, however as an alternative of avoiding Ah Jung, he goes out of his method to be well mannered and useful. And he or she hates it.
Someplace alongside the best way, Ah Jung’s grown to get pleasure from Ji Han’s fixed nagging. They bring about out the worst in one another, true. However they’ve seen one another at totally different lows and like what they’ve discovered there. So she will inform that Ji Han’s hiding one thing underneath this bright-and-happy “Yay, you’re my sister-in-law” facade. She’s direct about it too, asking him whether or not he actually, really is okay with the wedding hastily, and when he lies that he’s, it’s her confidence that crumbles. Making an attempt to win Ji Han’s approval gave her one thing to concentrate on as an alternative of the massive adjustments that’ll be taking on her life quickly. Now, she’s obtained to face that she’s going to be married to LJ Group’s inheritor. It will alter her life, her profession prospects, the years after her divorce immensely. And Ah Jung will get chilly ft. She lies to Ji Han that she’s fantastic, however he doesn’t purchase it both.
2. Lies that she’s fantastic: When her sister came upon concerning the pretend marriage
These chilly ft solely develop icier when her sister Na Soo Jung (Moon Seung Yoo) discovers Ah Jung and Do Han’s marriage ceremony contract. She’s livid that Ah Jung’s doing one thing this insane. Ah Jung tries to justify it, utilizing all of the doorways that this might open for her, however Soo Jung equally factors out all of the doorways this might shut. If any of this ever got here to gentle, Ah Jung can kiss her profession as an actress or any probability of labor in Korea goodbye. LJ isn’t an enemy you wish to make.
After Soo Jung’s departure, Ah Jung is extra conflicted than ever. There’s nonetheless time to interrupt issues off and stroll away from all this. She needs to speak to Do Han about her nerves, however he’s too enthusiastic about how a lot she’s going to avoid wasting his behind. He gushes about how he’ll be the most effective husband and take such excellent care of her. However whereas Do Han feels comfy spilling all the things to Ah Jung, he doesn’t bear in mind that it makes it tougher for her to unload to him. Do Han’s so busy appearing like Ah Jung has solved his issues that he isn’t asking if he’s fixing hers. Solely Ji Han notices her turmoil and says that it’s by no means too late to alter her thoughts however encourages her to stay with the choice she’s made (considering that she needs to marry Do Han however is simply scared).
When she asks once more if he’s actually okay with this marriage, he agrees. She is aware of one thing is incorrect and that they each see it in one another, however she doesn’t know what to do, so she lies that she’s fantastic.
3. Lies that she’s fantastic: When Ji Han pulled her out of her dress-fitting
Ah Jung’s numb all through her marriage ceremony becoming, and Do Han couldn’t care much less about any of the clothes as a result of he thinks all of them look nice on her. Nevertheless it isn’t the completely satisfied fairytale form of becoming that she envisioned for herself, which is why she’s so shocked when she emerges carrying one more costume and finds Ji Han, who pulls her exterior and instantly asks her to finish this marriage.
She doesn’t perceive what’s made him flip-flop hastily. However Do Han’s ex Jung Dae Hyeon (Shin Yong Beom) has made his transfer. Alas, we’ve a homosexual character who’s a villain, which, coupled with how badly the drama is portray Do Han, isn’t sitting nicely. Dae Hyeon needs to make Do Han’s life depressing and outs him to Ji Han. To Ji Han’s credit score, he flips on Dae Hyeon for daring to inform him one thing personal that his brother hadn’t been in a position to say but. He says he doesn’t care who Do Han has dated prior to now and storms out. However his first thought is Ah Jung as a result of he thinks she doesn’t know.
He doesn’t wish to out his brother to her (good for him!), however now he has an important purpose for why this marriage can’t occur. His brother gained’t ever be what Ah Jung wants. Poor man has no clue that Ah Jung is aware of all of this. Ah Jung sees that he’s earnest and is shaken however says she has to undergo with the marriage. In the meantime, Do Han’s frantic, questioning the place Ah Jung is, and he or she blames herself when he’s about in charge Ji Han. She chalks it as much as nerves, however Do Han doesn’t ask about these nerves and as an alternative focuses extra about how he was fearful about her security. Solely Ji Han appears to note and care that she’s rethinking her determination. And Ah Jung realizes to her horror that maybe the explanation she doesn’t thoughts when he seeks her out and even argues for the a centesimal time that this marriage shouldn’t occur is as a result of she likes him.
She doesn’t know what to do in addition to retaining away from Ji Han (the identical factor he did when he realized it too!). So she returns dwelling and lies to her involved household that she’s fantastic.
4. Lies that she’s fantastic: When Chae Gained made a transfer on Ji Han
Ji Han’s again on his “this marriage can’t occur” practice, however this time he has good purpose. He thinks his brother is utilizing Ah Jung, and he’s ready to do all the things to rescue her. His first aim: to win over Ah Jung. He wants her to know that he isn’t doing this out of spite, however he can’t inform her the actual purpose both. Ah Jung takes a side-character gig in a drama simply to really feel like her outdated self, and Ji Han reveals up with a meals truck for the employees. He cheers her on in each scene and is essentially the most supportive sweetheart. These two are so messy however likeable in that they’ve massive hearts.
Ah Jung secretly enjoys his firm however doesn’t say something. Her contract with Do Han is beginning to really feel like a shackle. She will’t be trustworthy with anybody, has nobody she will vent to in addition to her sister, and is falling for the man who’ll quickly be her brother-in-law. And when Ji Han drops her at Do Han’s and so they discover Yoon Chae Gained (Bae Yoon Kyung) ready there, issues solely worsen. Chae Gained’s lengthy picked up that Ji Han has emotions for Ah Jung and decided to mark him as hers. She tells Ah Jung that they’re in talks for marriage themselves and that she has each intention of creating Ji Han hers. Ah Jung quietly appears gutted, and Chae Gained feels ridiculous herself. At dinner, she asks Ji Han if he actually feels nothing for Ah Jung. When he lies that he doesn’t, she calls him a coward and factors out that what she simply did was embarrassing as heck, however at the very least she doesn’t conceal.
Ah Jung’s about to cease hiding herself and admit that she’s having second ideas to Do Han. However Do Han admits that he was scared after Dae Hyeon known as him and hinted that he’d spilled the beans to somebody. He thanks Ah Jung for all the time being on his aspect. And he or she wilts and hides her turmoil as soon as extra and lies that she’s fantastic.
5. Reality: When Ji Han confessed
Recent off Chae Gained dealing him some frequent sense, Ji Han comes dwelling and confronts Do Han about being egocentric. At first, this looks like an odd argument as a result of Ji Han hasn’t executed something proper both. However the image that emerges is one which I want we might have had sooner as a result of it places Ji Han’s actions in context. Ji Han’s all the time blamed himself for inflicting their mother and father’ dying (for causes we’ll discover out within the penultimate episodes in all probability). He’s sought to make amends for it each day of his life, eschewing all ambition in favor of inserting his brother on LJ’s throne. Do Han by no means mentioned something indicating that he didn’t need that throne and was completely satisfied to go together with the plan till 5 years in the past when he up and vanished to New York with out telling even Ji Han. This entire time, Ji Han’s been considering that his brother left as a result of he didn’t belief him sufficient to inform him the place or why he was going. However LJ’s heirs are imagined to have a place throughout the firm. Seung Ah and the remainder of Ji Han and Do Han’s half-siblings do. Ji Han’s labored his method as much as one himself. It’s solely Do Han who’s been working away from his issues for years. And he’s nonetheless working.
That is info that would have been launched earlier as a result of it reveals us who each brothers actually are. Going through enjoying the position of a straight businessmen eternally, after all Do Han would run. His secret was so big that it is smart that he would bear its weight in pained silence. And Ji Han has spent his complete life individuals pleasing and attempting to win his grandfather’s approval, so he genuinely can’t perceive why his brother doesn’t wish to do the identical. Do Han punches him, however Ji Han doesn’t return the blow saying that it’s fantastic if he lies to him, however what did Ah Jung do to deserve being lied to? Do Han pales, realizing that Ji Han is aware of.
I want Ji Han would simply sit and empathize along with his brother for a second, however nope. He’s off to seek out Ah Jung. She doesn’t wish to take his name however can’t resist going to him anyway and exclaiming over the bruise on his face. And that’s when Ji Han wearily tells her why he’s so against this marriage. He doesn’t count on her to reciprocate. She’s proven no indicators of that, however he likes her. His scheme backfired utterly. Ah Jung’s first response is the proper one. She whispers that he’s loopy and storms off. Ji Han sadly prepares to depart when she comes speeding up the street and goes by means of all 5 phases of grief from anger to acceptance.
She yells at him, saying she’s held herself again a lot and now it’s all ruined. And earlier than Ji Han can course of that, she kisses him.
And when she withdraws, he goes on this time.
Nicely. This could be a lot cuter if it weren’t for the ominous cloud over these proceedings. Ah Jung’s too far gone and too dedicated to her marriage with Do Han for any relationship with Ji Han to work at this level. Is Ji Han fearful in any respect at how shortly Ah Jung fell for him on condition that he thinks she was significantly in love along with his brother? How are they to get out of any of this with their households? In the meantime, Seung Ah is teaming up with the shady reporter, who insists that he wasn’t chargeable for her mom’s dying, to deliver down Do Han and Ji Han. She’s an interesting character, the perennially ignored sensible daughter who ought to have management of the corporate however is compelled to scrub up behind the boys in her household. Then, there’s LJ patriarch Hyun Dae Ho (Kwon Hae Hyo), who appears to know way more concerning the automobile accident that killed his daughter than he’s letting on and was there that night time. None of this bodes nicely. However for now, our very messy couple is collectively. And for the primary time, they each lastly look completely satisfied.
