Marry My Husband Episode 5 Recap
The episode begins with Ji-hyeok’s first encounter with Ji-won who was drunk after her break up with her boyfriend. She pours her emotions of loss and loneliness on a stranger she met by chance and Ji-hyeok also gives her company after seeing her wasted state which could put her in danger.
Seeing Ji-won pour out her feelings and thoughts, Ji-hyeok shares his loss with her and makes her feel better as she no longer feels like the only one suffering. The next morning, Ji-won leaves before he wakes up and recounts the incident with a stray cat she has been caring for. Ji-hyeok overhears her referring to him as an unpleasant old man and asks his friend if he fits this description.
Following this, he often sees her feeding the cat and tries to get close to the cat as well. Now, he recollects how he had many chances to approach her, but was never able to. Years later, he once again got the chance to approach her when he saw her working at his company, however, this time she was already dating Min-hwan.

Back in the present, Ji-hyeok wakes up with a newfound hope to not let go of Ji-won this time and make sure he makes up for his regrets. Ji-hyeok embarks on a new beginning, surprising everyone with his makeover, and approaches Ji-won to tell her that he does feel better about the change that he has made.
Min-hwan sees this exchange and tells Ji-won that he is now sure that Ji-hyeok has feelings for her. Ji-won denies this and tells him that Ji-hyeok has a girlfriend to which Min-hwan tells her that men are cheaters and that even if he had a wife he would hold feelings for Ji-won. Ji-won is amused by this statement and asks him if he too is like the men he has just described.
Min-hwan denies this and tells her that he is the only one who is different which only makes Ji-won laugh. Right then, Yu-ran and Hee-yeon arrive and take Ji-won with them to discuss the meal-kit project. However, Su-min interrupts them and Kyung-wook arrives to send Ji-won on a menial task.
Ji-won finishes it and comes back to see Su-min waiting for her as she had expected, and Su-min wastes no time in talking about her meal-kit project. However, Ji-won refuses to have her take part in it after which Kyung-wook calls her and tells her that he will be taking over the project with Su-min working alongside him.
Ji-won is unable to say anything and is disheartened when she comes across Ji-hyeok who asks her out for a meal after work. Ji-won refuses his request as she has plans with Eun-ho. Later, Ji-won meets Eun-ho and the two sit for some wine tasting as Eun-ho shows what he has in store.
After a few light-hearted talks, Ji-won asks him about the letter that made him stop talking to her. Eun-ho takes it out and Ji-won realises that Su-min can copy her handwriting which makes her freeze. Elsewhere, Min-hwan is trying to reach Ji-won but fails, so he calls Su-min and finds out that Ji-won has gone out with someone else.
Su-min then subtly lets out that Ji-won’s mother had cheated on her father which leaves Min-hwan thinking that Ji-won would do the same. Meanwhile, Ji-won and Eun-ho make a move to leave, however, Ji-won understands Eun-ho’s feelings for her and makes it clear that she has a boyfriend and nothing can happen between them.
Eun-ho is saddened by this and asks if Ji-hyeok is her boyfriend as he was the one who told him about the reunion. This surprised Ji-won and left her wondering how Ji-hyeok knew about the reunion; unaware that Ji-hyeok had seen the two from afar. Ji-hyeok cannot stop thinking about Ji-won being with Eun-ho and makes a detour from halfway home.
Meanwhile, Ji-won is walking home when she suspects someone following her, only to be surprised when Min-hwan pops out of nowhere in front of her. He tells her that it was fun making her scared which angers Ji-won. He then starts commenting on her having dressed up and speaks of how the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Marry My Husband Episode 5 Ending
Ji-won is angered by the last comment but understands that Su-min must have told him about her mother. She tries to deny his comments but Min-hwan is not ready to listen to her and hurts her while holding her hand. Right then, Ji-hyeok arrives and teaches him a lesson which makes Min-hwan run away in fright.
He then takes Ji-won to calm down and asks if Ji-won’s hand is alright. However, these words trigger Ji-won as she thinks that Ji-hyeok is trying to cheat on Hee-yeon with her and confronts Ji-hyeok about the same. Ji-hyeok is surprised by this and tells her to listen to him for a moment.
He then calls Hee-yeon and proves to Ji-won that Hee-yeon is his sister which leaves Ji-won surprised as she apologises for her behaviour. Ji-hyeok laughs it off and tells her that she was right about one thing- he does have feelings for her.
Ji-hyeok then takes Ji-won home, however, he falls unconscious on her right in front of her house and surprises Ji-won.
Marry My Husband Episode 5 Review
The confession is finally here and we now see the beginning of Ji-won’s happiness that brought her and Ji-hyeok another chance in life. The two have got their makeovers and now it is time to fall in love and make us burn with their green-flag behaviours.
Meanwhile, the antagonist couple is now to embark on their cheating behaviour and we are ready to see Ji-won escape their clutches and get rid of her ill fate. However, Ji-won needs a change in her weak character that is still bending in front of Hyung-wook, and I believe we’ll see this happening very soon.
Additionally, she now has Ji-hyeok beside her which means that after the external change, we will witness a change within her as well. Altogether, this has got us excited and we are eagerly looking forward to the revenge and love that will now begin.
