Goddess of Marriage Episode 8 Recap

In episode 7 we saw Hyun Woo simply bowing to Dreamer's Dad but now we see that when the father asked him "who are you?" Hyun Woo told him he was simply a passerby. So thinking that he was there to tour the farm, Dreamer's Dad shows him the tree orchard. As they walk, he tells him a bit about his family, even bragging
about Dreamer. Finally he says "Are you going to eat before you leave? My daughter had to go back, so I have
to eat alone. Come join me." Hyun Woo looks like he doesn't want to go, but of course ends up eating with the
Dad and the employees that work in the orchard. They ask him a few questions about himself but nothing too
invasive, and everyone drinks some rice wine, when the father starts to pour Hyun Woo a second cup, he tries
to stop him because he drove and doesn't want to get behind the wheel drunk. The father just says "You can take
a nap before you leave. Drink up" Trying not to be disrespectful, he accepts more and drinks it down.









The reason that Tae Wook uses to bring Dreamer back to the city, is that they are finally going to celebrate
his mother's birthday with a party. However, when they get back, it seems his mother is resting, not preparing
for a party. He takes the opportunity to drag her off to their new house next door, and asking the maids to
bring champaigne. Inside it's clean and spacious but the furnishings look as if they've come out of the Kang family storage, because although classic, they just old pieces of furniture. When Dreamer looks less than exstatic, Tae Wook asks why, to which she says " You know I never like to make hasty decisions". Tae Wook shrugs that  off and immediately starts talking about something else, but Dreamer doesn't really listen, she's turned her back to him so that she can look at her cellphone. Hoping for a text or call maybe? Tae Wook notices that she's not paying him any attention and comes up behind her to snatch the phone away. Saying "Who are you texting to?" When she asks for the phone back he holds it out of reach, trying to find out. Finally she snaps at him and raises her voice asking him why he's playing with someone else's phone. At first he just stares at her, and she realizes that she's overreacting, and quickly apologizes, lying that she's waiting  for some information from the radio station. He believes her, but scolds her for thinking of business when she's with him, because he never does that to her. Again she says she's sorry and quickly puts her phone back in her purse.


Like the true wierdo he is, Tae Wook, again switches gears at the drop of a dime and says, "Anyway, let's cheer" giving her a glass of champagne and taking one for himself he says "Even though you're still behaving badly, and are difficult, it just makes me like you more, and rise to the challenge. It's never dull. To our future and happiness, cheers." He does one shot, but Dreamer barely lets the liquid touch her lips. Before she can even take a breath, Tae Wook dives in for a kiss surprising her enough to drop her cup.
They wind up in the bedroom, and Tae Wook is taking the initiative. "Wait, stop." He keeps going "Stop! I don't want this!"
Dreamer pushes him off  and hops out of the bed, and says that she doesn't want to do in this house because it feels like they are betraying his parent's trust.


At the main house, we see another awkward family scene. The father-in-law is being mean to Tae Jin about his decision to go into polotics, and it takes the mother-in-law speaking up, to break up the lecture "This is my birthday, don't beat (verbally) Tae Jin up during my celebration." Everyone looks so upset and unhappy in this family, and Dreamer keeps witnessing these moments.
As Tae Wook drives her home, she can't wait to get home. When he pulls up, she jumps out and runs upstairs. Tae Wook, noticing that she's forgotten her bag, brings it upstairs just in time to catch her leaving a message "I'm sorry we were disrupted, there was nothing I could do in that situation. Please call me, I'll wait to hear from you." His face is a bit scary. He never goes into the room, but gives the bag to her niece before leaving. He knows something is going on.




Outside of their apartment building, Fishwife and Clueless arrive in a taxi, and try to get their game faces on. Fishwife tells her to keep her cool and gather evidence because that is the only way to confront someone like Seung Joo. Even mentions something about Seung Soo living off her money and asks whose name the apartment is under. Clueless says it's in her name.
When she gets upstairs, she tries to come in quietly, but then soon finds that no one is in the main room, and it's a great big mess. Of course the boys couldn't pick up after themselves while she was away.
Seung Joo comes in and is at first surprised by how clean everything is, but then immediately starts yelling at Clueless,"Where were you?!" Never thinking to ask "How are you?", he comes up and starts poking her shoulder. Clueless grows that backbone again and tells him that she was visiting a sick relative. Of course he accuses her of cheating, and this almost makes her lose her cool, but she holds back asking about her son.
He tells her that the boy is at the academy. Then thrust ramen at her and tells her to make it. Sitting down on the couch he immediately turns to the news and smiles and cheeses over Cynthia on the screen. When he knocks into a plastic bowl on the floor (that he left there) he asks "What is this?! What kind of housekeeping are you doing?!" and then throws it and it hits Clueless in the back of the head. This is the last straw. Running across the room, she starts hitting him with the dish gloves. He tries to defend and deflect, and ends up bumping her into a seat, which only makes her more mad. In the end she won that battle.


The next day at work, he barely talks to Cynthia and is curt with everyone, because he's got scratches down the side of his face.
Clueless tells Fishwife about the fight, and is scolded because now they won't be able to find any evidence. All she can say is "I'm sorry, I just couldn't hold it in."

Fishwife goes into the VPs office and turns in her resignation. He's surprised but then offended as she gives him the middle finger before storming out of his office.

Dreamer and Hyun Woo meet up. She apologizes for leaving him at the farm the way she did, and when he says that everything is okay, she asks him why he even went to the farm in the first place. At first he's hesistant but soon just asks if he should hold on to her. "If I hold on to you, do you think that you can break your engagement up? I don't think you can, because we can't hurt other people with our feelings. You should just remember me as someone you met once."


Meanwhile Tae Wook has gotten Dreamers cellphone records and notices the number that keeps popping up. When he digs deeper, he finds out that the owner of the number is Hyun Woo. He calls the number and Hyun Woo picks up, and the fact that he's a man seems to confirm his suspicions. He ends up back at the Newly Wed House drinking by himself. He calls Dreamer, who is drinking at a street vendor's and questions her about where she is and what she's doing. Dreamer tells him that she's drinking and waiting for her sister since they've been too busy to have a good conversation. He can tell she's down and asks why, she just says "I'm having a hard
time too." Her words or her attitude make him end the conversation short. They both go back to their drinking.



Back at Tae Wook's house, his brother Tae Jin is talking with Mi Ra, discussing the purchase of a painting and flirting. Good Wife is cleaning up and preparing tea for the in-laws when her mother-in-law comes making a fuss because she's found out that Good Wife will be joining the company. Her husband tells her not to take it out on Good Wife because he told her to keep it a secret. They go back to their bedroom to fight about it. Mother-in-law doesn't trust Good Wife and says that only family members should go to the company, not in-laws. She doesn't want Good Wife to get any ideas,she's from a low class family, and they shouldn't just trust her with so much power. The father-in-law doesn't give her opinion much thought and tells her to sleep. Of course, because she's like the servant, Good Wife heard their
(very loud) conversation as she was coming to serve the night time tea.


Seung Soo is meeting Cynthia at an upscale bar, where she laughs at the scratches on his face. He asks what they should do about their relationship. She's more concerned with Clueless coming to the station. Anything else is up to him. "What if she wants a divorce? Should I do it and just live with you?"
"Do you really think you can do that?" He takes it as a challenge and goes home with determination.



Fish Wife is preparing dinner, her husband watching the kids do their homework, when the VP calls. She starts an argument saying "You're invading my privacy by calling me after work."
"I'm calling you about the inventory list" She tells him they have too much, they don't have enough space for more which is fine since he's never come up with an idea in his life. After hanging up and serving dinner, she goes out to meet Dreamer. "What is marriage?"
"Marriage is reality, it's dreadful and it's hell."
"What type of man should I be with to make all this bareable?"
"Someone like you're brother-in-law, who is healthy, cheerful and not sensitive."
"What's better, marry someone I love, or someone who loves me?"
"It's best if you're both in love, but if I had to only pick one, I would say the one that loves you. I just recently saw an example of marrying the one you love."


We flash to Clueless' house. Seung Soo, walking right up to Clueless he says "No need to drag this out. Let's get divorced. I have a woman. I love her and want to live with her so let's get divorced."where she is literally hanging on to Seung Joo's leg begging him to not leave her. Their son hears all the noise and comes out. Clueless tells
him to go back into his room as she holds on and Seung Joo just stands there.


In the morning, Good Wife and Father-in-law are met at the house but a caravan of employees, welcoming her for her first day at the office. He asks her how much she wants for her salary and she replies that she wants to be paid in shares. He tells her her will give her the hotels they own. The businesses are doing well, so she can have the shares to them. She even gets her own office. She calls her mother since she's still worried about her little brother being out of work. Her mother tells her that he's working at the art shop their brother-in-law owns and she's relieved that he's doing something with his life.
When we see her brother working, a customer comes in who just happens to be Mi Ra.

Dreamer meets Tae Wook at a hotel for a celebratory lunch to congratulate Good Wife on her new position. When they arrive, Hyun Woo is one of the guests.

MY THOUGHTS
It feels like now, finally, we might get some action in this show. All the players are set in situations different from where we met them, so I think things should heat up from now on.
