Episode 9 is another rollercoaster ride of emotions as several upturn of events happened to the characters of "My Wife is having an Affair this Week".
Yes, "My Wife is having an Affair this Week" just ended last Saturday with only 12 episodes and there has been several rants from avid viewers to extend the show just like what happened to another well-loved series of Song Ji Hyo, "Emergency Couple", before. However, some good things are really meant to end. But, if you're lagging behind "My Wife is having an Affair this Week", take some time to read this recap from Episode 9. This episode is where all the exciting things happened!
Here's the top three highlights of this episode from the three love teams of the series:
1. Hyun Woo and Soo Yeon's reconciliation
Yes, you've read it right. Hyun Woo and Soo Yeon are starting to have reconciliations. It all started when the two attended their college professor's funeral. Their classmates and schoolmates reminisced their college life and they kept on asking the two about their married life. The two just answered an awkward smile.
Then, their friends invited them to have some stargazing which was their form of bonding in college and not to mention, it was also what made Hyun Woo and Soo Yeon meet. During the stargazing, one of Soo Yeon's friends asked her why she chose to marry Hyun Woo. Soo Yeon then revealed her hidden feelings and said that she can't actually imagine a future without Hyun Woo. And this is actually one of the sweetest moments of the episode, as Hyun Woo happened to overhear the conversation.
The two also had some parental moments as Soo Yeon saw Hyun Woo struggling over in sewing a doll for their son's art class. Soo Yeon offered to help and the smile on her face is just reflecting how her feelings for her husband is starting to resurface again.
The episode ended with the two having a date at a nearby bar, but something will be up on episode 10 as someone over the web is threatening to reveal the identity of Toycrane's wife.
2. Joon Young and Bo Young's babysitting sweetness
As some of Hyun Woo's trusted co-workers, Bo Young and Joon Young agreed to babysit his son since he'll be attending a funeral. The two agreed to do so but they never expected that Hyun Woo's son would be too tiring, just like his father. The two got exhausted over playing a lot of games and they're so happy whenever it's time for Joon Soo's bed time.
Upon waking up, Bo Young was surprised that Joon Young prepared a nice breakfast for Joon Soo and her. Joon Young then boasted that he could make himself a good homemaker and asked if Bo Young is looking for one. Bo Young just shrugged him off and Joon Soo seeing them fighting joked over that the two of them look good together.
The sweetness between the two doesn't end as they also had extended their days of babysitting Joon Soo. The two went over to Joon Soo's school to fetch him, and Joon Soo introduced Bo Young as his aunt. His teacher greeted how pretty Joon Soo's aunt is. Bo Young just smiled awkwardly. And Joon Young appeared and the teacher told Joon Soo that she never thought that Bo Young's husband would also come along to fetch their nephew. Bo Young tried to explain but Joon Young, liking the situation, just said goodbye to the teacher.
3. Ara strikes back to her husband's mistresses
I personally enjoyed this scene as I've seen Ye Ji Won, the one who played Ara's character, as a strong woman in "Another Oh Hae Young". It actually hurts to see her being cheated by her husband, and luckily, she's starting to strike back. In this episode, Ara is seen going over to the store clerk who was one of Yoon Ki's affairs. Apparently, the clerk is selling her apartment as she'll be marrying a rich man. But she didn't know that she'll be selling it to the wife of her former affair.
The episode also showed how karma is real for Yoon Ki as his three mistresses crossed their paths unexpectedly. Yoon Ki survived the situation in a comedic way. Yoon Ki seemed to keep on pretending that Ara never knew of his affairs, but in episode 10, you should be ready as Ara will drop a bomb which will shock Yoon Ki.
"My Wife is having an Affair this Week" is definitely one of the best dramas out there that tackles extramarital issues in a wholesome way. It's saddening that it just ended last week, but luckily, viewers can rewatch the episodes over and over again.
