I didn't especially want to finish "Single Wife" when circumstances beyond my control made it impossible. Certainly Jae-min, protests to the contrary, appears to have moved on from Ra-hee. Their father, who is at the center of this conflict, is not a character we ever actually knew very much about, so we're just left to assume that he was a good dad and that this family will pick up the pieces and move on with life. Which leads us again to the weird situation that it's Jae-min and Hyo-rim who get the genuinely affective emotional scenes regarding their familial issues. Min-hong was, for most of "Single Wife", a man without options. I felt bad for Min-hong less because I wanted him to be happy with Ra-hee and more because he had become emotionally attached to a completely emotionally unreliable woman. This also creates the hilarious implication, when Ra-hee fails to show up to get the divorce finalized again, that she really is just a complete scatterbrain who can't be trusted to follow through on anything. She just trusted that Min-hong would finish the divorce process for her. Again, this is how Ra-hee is in the position of being an accidental bigamist in the first place. Ra-hee doesn't even really act in her own best interests most of the time. It's like I've mentioned repeatedly- we've never seen Ra-hee stick her neck out for anyone or do much of anything substantial. In a way it's actually pretty fitting how Ra-hee only just barely has anything to do with this storyline.
Now Hyo-rim and some bald guy I'm not even sure has a name have to work together to bring her dad back to stop her. We had certainly received hints that In-hwa was a corporate vulture, but those barely even registered as a subplot.
I remain baffled just as much as I did last time as to what exactly happened to the premise.
So "Single Wife" ends up concluding the logical direction it took with the previous episode that barely touched on the main conflict at all, and brings upon a final glorious comeuppance against In-hwa.
