  • Familiar Wife: Episode 2

FamiliarWife02-00319.jpg

 

Joo-hyuk is having a very interesting day, as he finds himself twelve years in the past, on the most crucial day of his life. He’s realizing that his life isn’t anything like he expected to be, and that he’s not happy. So when he sees an opportunity to change all that, it’s no surprise that he jumps at it. If you could go back and change your biggest regret, wouldn’t you want to see what lies down the road not traveled?

 

 

EPISODE 2: “Life is a maze full of choices.â€

Joo-hyuk uses one of the coins the doomsayer from the train gave him at a tollbooth, and the next thing he knows, his car goes out of control and he wakes up in 2006, back in college. He recognizes the date as the day that his crush, Hye-won, asked him out, and although he leaves his room a bit more cautiously than last time, he still gets hit by a bowl of wash water the same as he did in 2006.

He wonders if he’s dreaming, but everything feels too realistic. He stubs his toe on a newsstand and overhears a couple of teenage girls complaining about Brad and Angelina’s marriage being too perfect, remembering that all this happened before. He knows when he’s about to run into Hye-won, and he’s struck dumb by the sight of his old flame, looking exactly as she did ten years ago. She invites him to the concert just as he expects, and he accepts like before.

But then, instead of swerving to miss the scooter that nearly hit him the first time around, Joo-hyuk forgets to move and is knocked unconscious. He wakes in his own bed back in the present, and when his wife Woo-jin comes in, he asks her what day it is. She tells him it’s August 29, 2018, and Joo-hyuk is surprised that it’s Wednesday, and not Friday like it should be.

Joo-hyuk waves it off and assumes that what just happened must have been a dream after all. Woo-jin tells Joo-hyuk that he got himself home just fine last time, but after she leaves for work, he wonders why he doesn’t remember anything after losing control of the car. Flustered, he doesn’t notice the small scar that suddenly appears on his right wrist.

COMMENTS

Interesting. It figures there would be some time travel back-and-forth as Joo-hyuk tried to fix his mistakes, but I didn’t anticipate Joo-hyuk to figure out what happened and deliberately set out to change his life so soon. But I got my wish, that Joo-hyuk ends up with Hye-won in this new timeline, so I’m very eager to see where the story goes next. It was interesting that Joo-hyuk struggled for a moment when it was time to ignore Woo-jin on the bus, and that his internal goodbye seemed so sad. It wasn’t as easy for Joo-hyuk to give up the life he knows as I thought it would be, and he really did seem to feel the weight of what he was letting go. It was a taste of the regret he’s going to feel later when he decides to try to get his wife, and life, back, and made me feel like this story is going to take us to some really interesting places.

 

I realize that I was a little focused on Joo-hyuk’s wrongdoing in his marriage in the first recap, so I want to clarify that that’s not because I’m on Woo-jin’s side or think she hasn’t done some wrong of her own. But since the first episode focused on Joo-hyuk (and it’s really his story, after all), I kept most of my comments limited to him. Woo-jin is certainly no saint — her anger may be justified, but she’s definitely out of control, and it’s never okay to scream in someone’s face or throw things at them. She gets angry in situations that don’t call for such an extreme reaction, and treats Joo-hyuk terribly in public. But I also notice that she used to be bright, cheerful, and happy, and while Joo-hyuk hasn’t changed much since college, Woo-jin is practically a different person.

She doesn’t even tell him about her mother’s mental illness, which tells me that whatever is wrong in their marriage, it’s been wrong for quite some time if she feels she can’t lean on her husband. Maybe I identify with Woo-jin a little too much because I’ve been where she is (in my case it was a mountain bike, not a game console), but I definitely don’t agree with her destroying Joo-hyuk’s console. First of all, it was just cruel, and second, it was stupid to ruin it when her complaint was the money it cost — she could have just had him sell it like the first owner.

I do think Woo-jin was unfair to be so angry with Joo-hyuk over buying the console without even asking him about it, and I felt he was justified in telling her to stop talking over him all the time and let him explain. Like he said, he saved for it for years, and it’s not like Woo-jin has been honest with him about their expenses… she must have been aware for quite some time that her mother would need a nursing home eventually, but she hasn’t even told Joo-hyuk about her mom’s illness, much less her looming financial needs. But Woo-jin is already worried about money and her mother’s mental decline, and she’s so conditioned to fly into a rage at everything Joo-hyuk does, that she goes too far.

At this point in their marriage I think that divorce isn’t too drastic of a solution, so I’m very curious to see how Joo-hyuk’s apparent good fortune at landing Hye-won as his new-timeline wife changes things. I anticipate the answer to that to be: not much. Having a different wife won’t change Joo-hyuk’s fundamental nature, and although it looks like they have a slightly nicer home and likely no children, that doesn’t mean that Joo-hyuk’s irresponsible nature and unrealistic “man of the house†expectations will be any different. But for now, everyone seems happy — Joo-hyuk has the wife he wants and what appears to be a beautiful home, while Woo-jin looks healthy and contented. Right now the switch seems like it’s put everyone in a better place, so I’m very eager to see the truth that makes Joo-hyuk change his mind and wish for his old life back.

Ji Sung Meets A Completely Different Version Of Han Ji Min After Tampering With Fate In “Familiar Wifeâ€

 
 
 

You never know how things will turn out in tvN’s “Familiar Wifeâ€!

The drama recently dropped intriguing stills of Ji Sung and Han Ji Min.

 

The two actors respectively portray Cha Joo Hyuk and Seo Woo Jin, a five-year married couple. Cha Joo Hyuk fatefully gains the ability to change the past, and decides to make a different choice on the first day he met his wife Han Ji Min.

 

As shown in the previous broadcast, his decision caused his reality to change, and Cha Joo Hyuk found himself married to his first love Lee Hye Won (Kang Han Na).

 

The new stills reveal Cha Joo Hyuk and Seo Woo Jin’s tense “first meeting†in this new reality of his.

Cha Joo Hyuk is shocked at the sight of Seo Woo Jin, who appears at his bank with a changed appearance. Looking like a goddess and overflowing with charisma, Seo Woo Jin stares Cha Joo Hyuk down while aiming what appears to be a gun towards him. As she approaches him and he slowly backs away, they share curious glances. It is not revealed if the situation is just a part of a dream or not.

[Knowing Wife] Ep 4 Han Ji Min's mother meets Ji Sung and recognizes him as her son-in-law

Posted on Thursday, August 9, 2018

Article: Naver 'Knowing Wife' Ji Sung♥ Han Ji Min.. their lives has changed, but fate cannot be stopped

  • Lee Hye Won (Kang Han Na) meets the guy she met and quickly hides her ring when he asks her out for a meal. 
  • Cha Joo Eun (Park Hee Von), Cha Joo Hyuk (Ji Sung)'s sister, meets Seo Woo Jin (Han Ji Min) and they find each other very familiar without having to meet each other before. 
  • Seo Woo Jin has dreams about her old life. She asks Joo Hyuk if he knew her. 
  • Woo Jin's mother (Lee Eun Jung) came and calls Joo Hyuk her son-in-law. 
 
1. [+1833,-49]
Really very interesting. ㅜㅜ The acting, casts, script, they're all good. Really.
 
2. [+1187,-15]
Son-in-law Cha, goosebumps!!!
 
3. [+939,-11]
As expected, Haman-daek [Lee Jung Eun's role in Mr Sunshine] knows.
 
4. [+805,-34]
This is really interesting, but the main point of the drama seem to be that if you have a baby, that's the end of your life.
 
5. [+707,-20] 
Think from Hye Won's point of view. Will you feel comfortable when your in-laws come? 
You'd feel uncomfortable. This is Joo Hyuk's fault. Look. As soon as she went inside her son's house, she opens his fridge, and criticized her daughter-in-law's side dishes and nag at her to clean up... To put nicely, Seo Woo Jin is kind, and she lives stupidly. She pleases them, bow them to them and accomodate to them. Before mother-in-law comes, daughter-in-laws have so much to do. They clean the house, get groceries, make food... I hope Cha Joo Hyuk sees the current Seo Woo Jin and regrets it.
 
6. [+567,-24]
I got goosebumps near the ending at, "Son-in-law Cha"
 
7. [+421,-18] 
Please don't let him be with Han Ji Min or Kang Han Na. He totally have this Joseon's old fashioned way of thinking. Only his parents and himself are pitiful. He's selfish. He's a human that makes women unhappy. Please show filial piety to your parents on your own.
 
8. [+308,-10]
I can understand Kang Han Na's actions too.

Article: Naver 'Knowing Wife' Ji Sung finds out that Lee Eun Jung has Alzheimers', "Warm gaze"


  • Seo Woo Jin (Han Ji Min)'s mother recognizes Cha Joo Hyuk (Ji Sung) as her son-in-law. 
  • Lee Hye Won (Kang Han Na) begins exchanging text messages with the young boy she had met. 
  • Joo Hyuk finds out that Woo Jin's mother is suffering from dementia. 
  • Yoon Jong Hoo (Jang Seung Jo) confesses to Woo Jin and Joo Hyuk witnesses that. 
1. [+1074,-6]
Actually, they are more loving than anyone when they were dating, until they got married and got closer to reality. Why do I find every scene in this drama sad?
 
2. [+538,-10]
Seriously, why is Han Ji Min so pretty? Her nose is pretty, eyes are pretty, her face shape is pretty too. Her dimples are also pretty. She's so pretty that I was in awe while watching.
 
3. [+441,-10]
Did Haman-
daek [Lee Jung Eun's role in Mr Sunshine] also throw a 500 won coin and came to reality from Joseon?
 
4. [+239,-7]
He's reminiscing his old memories.
 
5. [+231,-8]
He's the kind of guy who thinks he knows his wife well, but there are more 
that he doesn't know about.
 
6. [+122,-2]
Son-in-law Cha is too selfish. He's married, but Seo Woo Jin is still single. Seems like a good man for her has appeared... why is he stopping them?
 
7. [+87,-2]
He hates his wife, so he changed his life and abandoned his kids. He is living well while playing games and all, why does he keep being around his wife and blocking her path in his changed life? A married man!!!!! Blocking the path of a single woman? What a selfish character!!!
 
8. [+83,-1]
In the end, neither Han Ji Min nor Kang Han Na can satisfy him after becoming his wife
.... Both gave him regrets.
 
 
 
 
1. [+1369,-10]
It's not courtesy but 
it's interest. ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Charming...
 
2. [+565,-9]
My heart fluttered for Jang Seung Jo.
 
3. [+210,-8]
So he's going to put his life on the life and stop them. Looking forward to tomorrow's episode!
 
4. [+137,-4]
Han Ji Min wearing a yellow one-piece dress in the rain left me in awe
.. So pretty.
 
5. [+128,-3]
If that is real, Ji Sung would be committing adultery with Han Ji Min. She matches so well with Jang Seung Jo that I hope they get together but I also hope that the scriptwriter could do what she/he xxxcZ to see her dating with Jang Seung Jo.
 
6. [+120,-1]
The younger boy that's chasing after Kang Han Na isn't that impressive. Jang Seung Jo is heart fluttering, and his lines are charismatic.
