The second lead game is in full swing in this episode, and boy, my heart is already feeling the burn of this ship. When Woo-jin (Han Ji-min) mentioned that she doesn’t feel any spark with Jong-hoo (Jang Seung-jo), I suddenly realized that this isn’t the timeline that I want the original couple to end up in. I really like Jong-hoo in this timeline as the thoughtful bachelor who looks after Woo-jin, and to think, Joo-hyuk (Ji Sung) is already married to Hye-won (Kang Hanna) in this alterated world. So even though the “spark” between Woo-jin and Jong-hoo is absent, I really hope Woo-jin would not fall for Joo-hyuk, her “real” husband, this time. I don’t want her to experience the confusion and pain of “ruining a marriage” that’s not even supposed to exist in the first place. She has had enough in her real timeline as Joo-hyuk’s original wife. She doesn’t need to be hurt even in this “fake” world, too.
Going back to the fun things, I find it hilarious how Joo-hyuk is openly getting in between Jong-hoo and Woo-jin in this episode! 😂 It’s so obvious, but it’s funnier because Jong-hoo viewed as him being just a possessive BFF! Jong-hoo’s struggles just to collect points to woo the girl he likes were always ruined by Joo-hyuk’s persistence! But I have to admit though that these jealousy antics of Joo-hyuk are just comical now, but it has the potential to be annoying the next time I see it. Hoping to see more of Jong-hoo and Woo-jin moments in the coming weeks!
Going for gold
Now let’s talk about Hye-won and that gold-digger conman! Wow! I was not ready for that unexpected twist of events LOL. I’m so excited to see Hye-won’s reaction once she learned that the good-looking jerk that she flirts with isn’t really the cool guy that he portrays to be. Apparently, he is NOT a college student, but a parking attendant at an underground valet, and is just seducing Hye-won for his personal gains.
Of movies and tears
Woo-jin’s minor revelation about watching romance movies whenever she needed a good cry hit Joo-hyuk so much that he suddenly learned how much he contributed to the “monster wife” that Woo-jin had become in their original timeline. Now, Joo-hyuk realized that he lost the cheerful Woo-jin because of his own actions in the past, his disregard for important occasions in Woo-jin’s life, and his negligence of her feelings. He failed to provide comfort when she needed him the most. He only thought of his own work-related struggles and turned a blind eye on his wife’s sufferings.
We all know that Woo-jin has also been having these dreams about her real life with Joo-hyuk even though she isn’t aware about the identity of the person in her dreams. And because she is someone who faces her problems head-on, she decided to test the familiarity that she felt towards Joo-hyuk, but unfortunately, Hye-won had to see everything! Karma really knows its timing. Hye-won immediately paid the price of flirting with another man. LOL
GRUMPY ALLEY
Yay! Found this music video of SF9’s Love Me Again (Familiar Wife OST Part 1). Have fun!
I just enjoy seeing Kim Hwan’s (VIXX N) being this straightforward and troublesome (but cute!) maknae of the KCU Bank!

I’m really enjoying this drama about adult situations too. I’m struck by the male-female communication problems this story is exploring and I think the acting by the two leads is excellent. Ji- sung’s character needs to suffer a bit more though, there’s lots more for him to learn.
