Derek counters he’s giving up his spy job. A Reum counters their marriage can only survive if he cooperates with Interpol. Derek says Interpol can’t be trusted. A Reum assures him that she hasn’t reported him. He need only follow her instructions. She gives him 3 days – betray Helmes or her. Derek is in shock over the ultimatum.

When their marriage broke up, she wasn’t mature enough to believe he could change. But she’s evolved and believes her husband can change. She apologizes for not being able to do that years ago. She believes they are living different timelines and can’t be together. Tears fill Ji Hoon’s eyes and he turns away.

Knowing she was hurting would hurt him. Derek takes A Reum’s hand and promises to cooperate and do as she say. A Reum believes it will be difficult.

Derek steps back. Ji Hoon grabs his arm. He tells Derek he knows he’s an espionage spy for Helmes. They lock eyes.
My Thoughts
A Reum chose to keep her marriage intact. Writer Lee Ji Min focused A Reum’s decision – fight for her marriage or walk away. Her explanation to Ji Hoon was perfect. When they were married, she was too immature to believe he could change. But now she’s older, wiser, and realizes Derek can change. Therefore, the marriage is worth fighting for. Derek promised to do as A Reum wished. Meeting Ji Hoon and learning he’s the Interpol agent was the last thing Derek expected. I hope A Reum is giving Derek this chance because she truly loves him, not from a sense of obligation.
Kang A Reum (Yoo In Na) decided to give Derek another chance. She considered and decided she had given her husband the chance to change, make things right, and get out of the spy business. It’s a big ask. Will they both survive the process?
Jeon Ji Hoon (Eric) was hurt A Reum agreed to give Derek another chance, an offer he didn’t get when A Reum ended their marriage. Ji Hoon revealed he had been willing to change but A Reum’s decision to divorce kept him silence. If Ji Hoon was willing to change, why didn’t he tell A Reum? Ji Hoon didn’t want to accept A Reum’s conclusion that the timing was never right for them to be a complete open and honest couple. But he agreed to help Derek. Are you thinking the head of Helmes is Chief Kang?
Derek Hyun (Lim Ju Hwan) told his wife he’d do whatever she asked. Derek told A Reum he would do as she said and come forward to authorities. Ji Hoon continued to irk him. He doesn’t like Ji Hoon hanging around A Reum. He was shocked when Ji Hoon was revealed to be the Interpol agent that would protect him.
