[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] Kim Hee-ae of 'The World of the Married' announced the beginning of a meticulous revenge and prepared a chilling counterattack.

In the 4th episode of JTBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'The World of the Married' aired on the 4th, Ji Sun-woo (played by Kim Hee-ae) can no longer tolerate Lee Tae-oh (played by Park Hae-joon), who even hurt her son Lee Jun-young (played by Jeon Jin-seo), and chooses a path from which she will never back down.

Determined, Ji Sun-woo said, "My son, my home, my life, whatever it is, I will never suffer any loss. I will completely cut out that bastard Lee Tae-oh from my life," and began to carry out her plan to return the hellish pain. First, she pretended not to know that Yeo Da-kyung (played by Han So-hee) had a boyfriend when Yeo Byung-gyu (played by Lee Kyung-young) visited the hospital. This led to a big fight between Lee Tae-oh and Yeo Da-kyung.

However, a variable arises in Ji Sun-woo's counterattack. Park In-gyu (played by Lee Hak-joo), who succeeded in tracking Min Hyun-seo's (played by Shim Eun-woo) location, appears. He demands money from Ji Sun-woo, holding a black box containing evidence of Lee Tae-oh entering Yeo Da-kyung's house as collateral.

Meanwhile, Ji Sun-woo, hiding her plan and continuing her perfect wife role, goes to have dinner with Lee Tae-oh and Lee Jun-young and encounters Yeo Da-kyung's family. She invites Yeo Da-kyung and her mother Eom Hyo-jung (played by Kim Sun-kyung), who were leaving because they couldn't make a reservation, to dine together, and deliberately shows a tender side to Lee Tae-oh in front of Yeo Da-kyung.

Also, in response to Eom Hyo-jung's joke, "The director must have been handsome and had many women," Ji Sun-woo delivers a sharp remark to Yeo Da-kyung's heart, saying, "Even if such a thing happens, a man is nothing more or less than a vessel for disposal."

After the painful meal, Yeo Da-kyung returns home and meets Min Hyun-seo, who arrives with a face full of wounds. In front of Min Hyun-seo, who confides all her troubles, Yeo Da-kyung also reveals her secret, saying, "Actually, he is a married man." Ji Sun-woo was listening and recording all the stories Yeo Da-kyung confided in Min Hyun-seo in real time.

Ji Sun-woo spends the night with Son Jae-hyuk (played by Kim Young-min), Lee Tae-oh's accountant, to use him. At the same time, Yeo Da-kyung visits Lee Tae-oh's house and declares their breakup, saying, "I aborted the child."

Ji Sun-woo quietly threatens Son Jae-hyuk to investigate and hand over the corporate fund details and personal account status of Lee Tae-oh's company. The reason Ji Sun-woo decided to take revenge on Lee Tae-oh is because she found out that her son Lee Jun-young saw Lee Tae-oh and Yeo Da-kyung kissing.

The 4th episode of 'The World of the Married,' where the once perfect Ji Sun-woo begins to sharpen the blade of revenge against Lee Tae-oh in earnest, recorded nationwide ratings of 14.0% and 15.8% in the metropolitan area (based on Nielsen Korea paid households), firmly maintaining first place in the same time slot.
