[Asia Economy Guest Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 2nd, JTBC's 'The World of the Married' aired a scene where Kim Hee-ae and Park Hae-joon enter a new phase in their relationship.


Yeo Da-kyung (Han So-hee) does not answer the phone calls from Lee Tae-oh (Park Hae-joon), who has been taken by the police. When Yeo Byung-gyu (Lee Kyung-young) tells Ji Sun-woo (Kim Hee-ae), "It seems the plan has hit a snag," Ji Sun-woo replies, "The situation is unfolding interestingly despite all the effort. What can we do? If this continues, my son-in-law might end up being a murderer."


However, Yeo Byung-gyu bluntly says, "I don't care about Lee Tae-oh's future. What matters to me is my daughter." But Ji Sun-woo responds, "When it comes to this issue, the chairman and I are in the same boat. You may not want to admit it." Yeo Byung-gyu then says, "Ms. Ji is still a suspect," but Ji Sun-woo answers, "Don't worry about me."


At the police station, the police tell Ji Sun-woo, "Min Hyun-seo (Shim Eun-woo) said the scarf was dropped at the scene," and that she does not need to undergo a witness investigation. However, Ji Sun-woo says, "I came because of Lee Tae-oh." She testifies, "At the time Park In-gyu (Lee Hak-joo) died, Lee Tae-oh was with me."

Back at home, Yeo Da-kyung asks Lee Tae-oh if he has been cleared of suspicion, and he replies that thanks to Ji Sun-woo, he has been. He bitterly says, "The one who came to save me was none other than Ji Sun-woo." Then he shouts that she helped because he is Jun-young's (Jin Jin-seo) father.


Ji Sun-woo tells Min Hyun-seo (Shim Eun-woo), "If only you hadn't stepped forward, this would have ended more simply." Min Hyun-seo asks, "So your conclusion is suicide? Are you saying In-gyu died because of me?" Ji Sun-woo replies, "Park In-gyu made that choice, so you don't need to feel guilty."


Min Hyun-seo says, "In-gyu was a bad guy and the worst, but he was pitiful. I couldn't abandon him because of that. But yesterday, your eyes were like that. Even though you knew it wasn't true, you were treating Lee Tae-oh like when I covered for that guy and protected him," confusing Ji Sun-woo.


Yeo Da-kyung meets Jun-young separately and talks about Ji Sun-woo. She asks if he is having a hard time because of his mother and says, "The only reason your mother can't leave this neighborhood is because of you." Then she probes, "How about going to your dad?" Jun-young asks, "Are you saying I should abandon my mom and go to my dad?" Yeo Da-kyung persuades him, "Think about what is good for your mom and for you."


Jun-young tells Ji Sun-woo, "I think mom can't live comfortably because of me," and Ji Sun-woo says, "That's nonsense. Mom lives because of you." Jun-young then says, "Don't live because of me. The more you do, the harder it is for me. I think I want to live with dad," and leaves home.

Lee Tae-oh comforts Jun-young, telling him to get along well since Yeo Da-kyung wants to be close to him. Jun-young asks, "Do I have to get close? Do I have to act well to stay here?" Lee Tae-oh replies, "That's not what I meant. We're family, right?" Jun-young cynically answers, "How can I think of that woman as family? Isn't that going too far?"


Lee Tae-oh finds out that Yeo Da-kyung is preparing to send Jun-young abroad for studies and gets angry. Yeo Da-kyung says it wouldn't be bad for Jun-young's future. Lee Tae-oh throws down the study abroad brochure, saying, "I brought him because I wanted him close. Where would I send him!!" But Yeo Da-kyung coldly says, "It's much better for Jun-young to study in a good environment than to get hurt going back and forth between houses."


Lee Tae-oh visits Ji Sun-woo and asks, "Why did you give me that alibi?" He says, "Actually, you were waiting for me to come back like this. You didn't leave, using Jun-young as an excuse, for that reason." Enraged by his words, Ji Sun-woo slaps Lee Tae-oh's cheek, and as she tries to hit him again, Lee Tae-oh grabs her arm, pulls her, and they kiss.
