[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the 11th episode of JTBC's "The World of the Married," Kim Hee-ae divorces Park Hae-joon, and Park Hae-joon leaves Gosan with Han So-hee.

Earlier, at a gathering of Yeo Byung-gyu (Lee Kyung-young)'s family, Ji Sun-woo (Kim Hee-ae), who revealed the entire relationship between Yeo Da-gyeong (Han So-hee) and Lee Tae-oh (Park Hae-joon), is met with resentment from Lee Tae-oh. However, Ji Sun-woo shouts at Lee Tae-oh, "We can never go back to how things were. You're the one who ruined our Jun-young (Jeon Jin-seo), our marriage, all of us!!"

But Lee Tae-oh retorts, "What ruined us was your cruelty. You, who clearly know what it's like to grow up without a father, how can you say in front of me that you'll make Jun-young the same?" Then Ji Sun-woo tells him, "You're already finished. Jun-young saw everything. What kind of relationship you have with Yeo Da-gyeong."

Son Jae-hyuk (Kim Young-min), who was supposed to meet Ji Sun-woo at the hotel, mutters, "Ji Sun-woo is a ruthless woman," when his wife Go Ye-rim (Park Sun-young) shows up instead. Go Ye-rim says, "I've known for a while. You cheat on me all the time." When Son Jae-hyuk looks at her in surprise, Go Ye-rim bitterly adds, "No, since none of them last past one night, it's not even cheating. Maybe it's an addiction."

Son Jae-hyuk replies, "If you knew all along, why act so surprised now?" and Go Ye-rim answers, "Because it's Ji Sun-woo." When Go Ye-rim asks if he slept with Ji Sun-woo, Son Jae-hyuk bluntly says, "We just enjoy each other, but we don't share our hearts." Go Ye-rim asks, "Do you hate me that much?" and Son Jae-hyuk casually replies, "It's not that I hate you, it's that I hate boredom."

When Go Ye-rim, unable to listen any longer, tries to leave the room, Son Jae-hyuk grabs her, saying, "The problem is with me. I admit I'm not normal." When Go Ye-rim asks, "Do you feel sorry for me?" Son Jae-hyuk hesitates to answer, and Go Ye-rim leaves.

Yeo Da-gyeong appears in front of a sobbing Lee Tae-oh. Lee Tae-oh apologizes, "I'm really sorry to you." Yeo Da-gyeong asks, "Did you meet me because of my father's money?" Lee Tae-oh replies, "If you believe the words of a crazy woman like you, then whatever I say now is meaningless." He adds, "The chairman invested purely because he saw my passion and artistic world."

Yeo Da-gyeong tells Lee Tae-oh, who is smoking, "Put out the cigarette. It's harmful to me." Understanding the meaning, Lee Tae-oh immediately puts out the cigarette. Yeo Da-gyeong says, "I can give up everything. Mom, Dad, everything I enjoyed because of Dad. Now the choice is yours," firmly stating. Lee Tae-oh hugs Yeo Da-gyeong and says, "Thank you. Really, thank you."

Ji Sun-woo asks Go Ye-rim, who returns from meeting Son Jae-hyuk, "Did you have a good meeting?" Go Ye-rim retorts, "Why are you doing this to me?" Ji Sun-woo answers, "Didn't I say I'd tell you when there's something you need to know? Without hiding anything." Go Ye-rim then spits out, "You really make people sick. You think you're so cool and that others see you that way, but don't be mistaken. You're vulgar. That's exactly your level."

But Ji Sun-woo says, "You're no different from the woman my husband cheated with who went on a fun trip. If we're talking about vulgarity, we're both the same." Go Ye-rim replies, "You couldn't protect your family, but I will. I won't be shaken this much." Ji Sun-woo says, "I don't care whether you two divorce or not. I just wanted to tell the truth. It was unbearably painful that even you, who I thought was a friend, deceived me." Go Ye-rim counters, "I never thought of you as a friend."

After spending the night with Yeo Da-gyeong, Lee Tae-oh receives a petition for confirmation of mutual divorce intention addressed to him. Ji Sun-woo tells Lee Tae-oh, "Don't drag it out, finish it quickly." Lee Tae-oh says, "What kind of crazy person agrees to give up money and children?" showing no intention to back down. Ji Sun-woo then says, "I set up a company with my money, but you embezzled slush funds. I'll report you for embezzlement."

At the hospital, Ji Sun-woo finds the bulletin board plastered with slander against her. When Seol Myeong-sook (Chae Guk-hee) wonders who did it, Ji Sun-woo says it will calm down over time. While talking to her lawyer, she receives advice that "If Ji Sun-woo's reputation is damaged, the advantage will be on the husband's side."

Lee Tae-oh visits the director's office and reveals that Ji Sun-woo used patients to stalk him. He says, "I'm really worried about this person," and asks if she saw the posts on the homepage. Ji Sun-woo tells the director, "Check the real names of who posted it first. Someone is intentionally slandering me." When Lee Tae-oh brings up the divorce issue, the director asks if they are divorcing, and Ji Sun-woo replies briefly, "It's a private matter."

However, Lee Tae-oh continues, "Stalking, assault, even threats. Your mental state isn't normal, so how can you be trusted with Jun-young?" Ji Sun-woo laughs, asking if he is trying to take Jun-young away, but Lee Tae-oh provokes her by bringing up her parents' car accident during her childhood, which leads to her slapping him. But Lee Tae-oh doesn't stop there and says, "Are you sure you won't become like your mother?" He tells the director that he might need to request a psychological evaluation of Ji Sun-woo for the custody lawsuit.

Ji Sun-woo seeks Jun-young's sympathy, saying, "Mom is very angry right now. You know why Mom is like this, right?" Jun-young replies, "So what? What does that matter?" Ji Sun-woo says, "Dad betrayed us," but Jun-young shocks her by saying, "He betrayed Mom, not me."

Ji Sun-woo exposes that Yeo Da-gyeong is pregnant to Jun-young, but Jun-young keeps saying it doesn't matter and that he doesn't want to live with Mom. He pleads, "Don't get divorced. Mom, you just have to forgive Dad once. How can I live without Dad? Mom is always busy. Work is more important than me to Mom," and he cries, saying, "It was Dad who stayed with me, Mom was always gone."

Hearing Jun-young, Ji Sun-woo clings to him, saying, "Mom only has you," but Jun-young rejects her, saying, "Don't lie. I'm going to Dad." Ji Sun-woo shouts, "If you go, Mom will die," and Jun-young feels fear. But when Lee Tae-oh comes home and assaults Ji Sun-woo, Jun-young tells Lee Tae-oh, "I'm no longer your son."

Yeo Da-gyeong asks Yeo Byung-gyu to help Lee Tae-oh because he is capable, but Yeo Byung-gyu angrily says, "Don't you have any eyes to see that?" and ignores Yeo Da-gyeong, saying he will consider her as if she has no daughter. However, Yeo Da-gyeong kneels beside Yeo Byung-gyu and begs him to help. Yeo Byung-gyu says, "It's not too late now. End it with that guy. If you do that, you, this child, and your father will be taken care of," refusing to back down. Eventually, Yeo Da-gyeong leaves Gosan with Lee Tae-oh.

Kim Yoon-gi (Lee Moo-saeng), who was treated by Ji Sun-woo, asks about her insomnia. Ji Sun-woo replies, "So-so. It's not severe enough to interfere with daily life." He advises, "Try having an easy and healthy relationship."

Two years later, Ji Sun-woo's acquaintances receive red cards from Lee Tae-oh and Yeo Da-gyeong. The cards are invitations featuring Lee Tae-oh, Yeo Da-gyeong, and their daughter.
