Goddess of Marriage Episode 7 Recap

Dreamer arrives at her father's farm and is greeted warmly by him and his long time employees.
After she settles in, they prepare and eat lunch together, he only seems worried that she's come alone.
She assures him that nothing is wrong between her and Tae Wook. They listen to her radio show as
they eat.





At the same time Hyun Woo is also listening to the broadcast.He decides to call the station in order
to talk to her, but is disappointed when he finds out that she is in the country side.


Later that night, Seung Soo finally comes home to find his son, Jang Woo all alone and the house the kitchen a
mess with dirty dishes everywhere. "Where's your mother?
"I don't know". So he calls his sister-in-law Fishwife, and basically accuses her of helping his wife
hide from him as a part of some plot. They argue and since she's driving, she ends up hitting a wall
with her car. She's fine, but the front bumper is hanging.


By now she's late for a meeting with the VP and important members from another company. Their meeting
at a karaoke room. She and the VP seem closer, because he's concerned when he hears that she was in
an accident and her sister-in-law is missing. She tells him she'll give more details later. As they try
to settle into making a deal, some young men come in saying "We are Eagle 5TH Degree! and we're here to per-
form for you". It doesn't take long for Fishwife to notice that one of the guys is her son Jung Woo,
wearing a wig. Of course she ends up chasing him around the room. He ends up going over tables and
people trying to avoid her wrath, and eventually steps right in the lap of the business man they're
trying to make a deal with. The meeting is ruined and VP decides to take out some of his frustrations
on her son by violently pinching his cheeks.




At a hospital, Clueless finally wakes up. The nurse asks her for her phone password so that they can
contact her guardian.
"There's no need, I'll be paying for the fees, so can you just let me rest here a little longer?" We learn
that she's been unconscious there for two days. She turns her head away and silently lets the tears fall.


Dreamer and her father sit up talking about books, when she makes a joke about moving in with him and
writing books. He's surprised and then upset that she seems to be trying to break up with Tae Wook.
"I like him best after you, so don't get any ideas. Just get married to him, have babies and work at
the station." She tries one last time to try and talk to him, but he refuses to listen. She takes a walk
in the grove trying to clear her mind, when she gets a call from a number she doesn't recognize.


Turns out to be Tae Wook calling from the house they will be living in after they get married. It's right
next door to his real house. Anyway, he's calling to make sure she arrived safely. He says "I love you"
"Have you been drinking?"
"Does saying I love you mean that something is wrong with me?" They go back and forth for a bit  him telling
her that he's laying in the bed they're going to share and thinking about her. He wants her in his arms.
This makes her uncomfortable but he tells her that even though she doesn't seem to like hugs from him, he's
taking it as a part of her natural shyness and allowing it to increase his anticipation for the time
when they'll be together. Finally she tells him he needs to go to sleep so he says"I need to hear you say
the words to me tonight. If you do, I'll be your dog for the rest of my life, lick your boots if you want
me too."
"I-i..."
"Didn't you hear? I'll lick you're shoes if you want me to, but you have to say the words". Struggling with
herself so much that her hands shake and tears fall, she works her throat trying to remove the lump before
finally croaking out "I love you too." He hangs up and she cries in the moonlight under the trees. Little
does she know that Hyun Woo is on his way to her.


The next day Good Wife is getting Tae Jin's clothes together for when he comes out of the shower, when she
recalls the tail end of the conversation she had with her father-in-law. After telling her to join the company
he formally, and finally, accepts her as a part of the family, for all that she's endured and done for
everyone since she's joined the house. He tells her there is just one last thing that he wants her to do
before coming to work. Produce a male heir. The eldest son, one we're just learning about, ran away from the
family three years ago and has no intention of coming back, making Tae Jin the eldest. Since he can't trust
Tae Jin with the business, and the kids he had with his previous wife are, in the father's opinion, no longer
family, there needs to be a new heir to the business. He tells her to keep this a secret, especially from
Tae Jin and her mother-in-law.
When she comes out of her reverie, Tae Jin is back from his shower and asks what she spoke about with his
father, she lies, easily, and tells him that they only talked about the new daughter-in-law coming. He takes
it at face value and turns to get dressed. However, she starts to slowly disrobe in front of him. He likes
what he sees and carries her to bed.

Later Good Wife is preparing dinner, and remembers the first time she met her mother-in-law. As they sat in
the living room she asked "Why are you meeting Tae Jin?"
"Because I love him"
"You know how many girls have said that? They all end up leaving once they get what they want. Just tell me
the price it's going to cost me to make you go away". Turns out Good Wife didn't have a price, because she
was already pregnant with her first daughter. Tae Jin's mother threw water at her face.


During the night Hyun Woo had driven to the farm and is walking in the grove the next day at the same time
as Dreamer. When they meet she's obviously surprised but very pleased to see him, especially when he says
that he needs to speak with her. Just as they're about to being their conversation, someone from the farm
calls out to her. She makes him promise to wait for her there, because she will come right back. When she
gets back to the house her father is receiving Tae Wook's bows. This surprise isn't so welcome. Tae Wook's
smile is one part sweet and two parts possessive. It's like the air goes out of her sails.

Dreamer ends up preparing breakfast for Tae Wook and her father. When her father asks him what brings him
all the way out there, Tae Wook says "Well I came to give me greetings,but also to take Dreamer back, because
we're finally going to properly celebrate my mother's birthday." Her father has no problems with Dreamer
going back to Seoul and gives his consent. All the while Dreamer sits there like she's frozen, not being
able to say anything for herself or against him.

Before she knows it, he has her things packed and put away in the car, rushing her out of the door. Her father
is telling her to hurry up and go as well, she doesn't want to keep the in-laws waiting, right?
Hyun Woo must have gotten tired of waiting in the trees, because he comes around to the front of the farm and
sees the scene of Tae Woo and her father saying their good-byes. Dreamer notices him and they lock eyes for a
suspended moment before she gets into the car and they drive away.

Her father notices Hyun Woo and asks what he is, but of course Hyun Woo has no answer to give but simply bows.
As they drive back, Dreamer can hold the tears from falling, and she plays it off as if she's just sorry to
leave her father alone because he gets lonely by himself all the time. With this Tae Wook finally shows
some signs of understanding that his actions were not cute or wanted. He tries to apologize but apology not excepted.

Fishwife tries to apologize as well. She's paid all the bills for the ruined evening and tried her best to teach her son a lesson. VP says "You think that's enough?! A 20 million dollar account went to another company. You should be prepared for you next position." At first she's a bit confused but then suddenly rushing down to the lobby, there is a notice with employee names that will be transfered to smaller branch. Now her hopes of becoming a Director are really over.
She's so overcome that she can't even get into her car, just ends up crying next to it. She calls her knight in shining armour to come pick her up, and him being a good guy, really rushes to her side to spend time with her and try to cheer her up. They end up back at the same shop eating pork and drinking soju.
Feeling sorry for herself she remembers all the things she's done trying to endure and be a better and more successful employee, but that's interrupted when Clueless finally gives her a call.


She rushes to the hospital, and a teary Clueless gives her the story. Of course Fishwife isn't sad, but completely outraged.
They find a television and Fishwife makes Clueless confirm the identity of the "other woman".She get so mad that she even takes it out on the television, throwing half eaten ramen right at the screen. When Clueless, starts cleaning up the mess she says "How can you be worried about that now!"
"I don't know what I should be doing in this situation."
"What do you mean, you don't know? You have to get them!"

Tae Wook pulls up to Dreamers building and she can't get out of the car fast enough. Literally running inside and into her room, she immediately tries calling Hyun Woo. The first time he just lets it ring, but the second call he rejects and turns the phone off, he is standing in their park, looking over the water and being pitiful.

                                                                MY THOUGHTS
1. I'm kinda learning to be afraid of Tae Wook, he has a way of passing off his possessiveness in a smooth and charming way. Especially to others. Dreamer can't seem to find an argument against him because everyone else loves him so much, I think she just keeps second guessing herself like 'I must be crazy trying to run from a guy like this, anyone else would love to be me right now.' I can understand her feelings but she NEEDS to get up the power to do something about her situation, not just think about what she wants to do.

2. Fish Wife and Jang Soo really are the best couple in this show. So sweet how he runs to help her when she's really in trouble.
