Let’s get into the Episode 2 recap and see what’s happening in episode 3.
Episode 2 Recap: From Chaos to Comedy
Opening Scene: An Emotional Flashback
In the opening of Episode 2, Woo-joo contemplates the car accident that caused his parents’ deaths. The emotional quality of this flashback, as he recalls his first experience of tragedy while also suggesting past trauma, draws you into his complex personality as both the son of a perfectionist and an heir with family expectations that attach him to the past.
Me-ri’s Daring Proposal
One of the main plot points of this episode centers on Me-ri’s daring idea: she asks Woo-joo to pose as her husband in order to win a newlywed prize for a townhouse. Initially, Woo-joo argues the prize is a scam and he does not want to be a part of it, but as the pressures from family and work arise, he slowly gets pulled into the proposal.
Workplace Situations
In this episode, Woo-joo also finds himself in the position of head of marketing in the place of Kim Mi-yeon’s son, Jang Eung-soo. The company drama gets heated as he confronts ongoing and unfinished projects, copyright issues, and office politics, all of which involves Me-ri’s design company caught up in the workplace drama.
Apartment & Townhouse Twist
The townhouse viewpoint adds a whole other realm of comedy and calamity. Me-ri moves into the townhouse following the contract’s defined terms, where she introduces herself to the people outside their quirky apartment personalities, goes through the townhouses inspection process, and engages in unexpectedly awkward press media days. While moving through this professionally, Woo-joo tries to avoid looking unprofessional, while further exposing him to increasingly awkward and humorous predicaments.
Emotional Moments
In addition to being a comedy, Episode 2 also expands on moments of tenderness. Woo-joo breaks through to a young girl in the housing complex, demonstrating his softer caring side as the character, while, Me-ri finds herself tangled up in family misunderstandings. These scenes show the balance that this drama captures between comedy and emotional content.
Fan Reactions
Fans are writing into forums and social media praising the lead pair. One fan tweeted, “Me-ri and Woo-joo’s chemistry is everything! Episode 2 had me laughing, crying, and rooting for them all at once.” Another tweet praised Episode 2 theatre, commenting, “The chaotic townhouse is pure comedy gold. Episode 3 will be awesome.”
Episode 2 Review: Why Fans Can’t Get Enough
Episode 2 not only signifies an improvement from episode 1 but also does a magnificent job of mixing romance and comedy and dramaturgy into a family comedy. The writing does a commendable job ensuring that each comedic misunderstanding and event adds specific dimensions and depth to characters, and the family aspects bring authenticity as well.

Fans are dubbing Woo-joo and Me-ri the cutest, if not the “hottest” couple of 2025; poor Me-ri entrusted her secret to the wrong family as we see in Episode 1. The Family aspect, tension between Woo-joo, his grandmother and extended family, pull us into the action.
