Yeah, I don't think you've understood Il Ri at all. She does those things because they ease her guilt of basically stealing Hee Soo's place in the Jang-family. Unfortunately, they only ease it when what she needs is to let her guilt go (only possible with professional help or sister-in-law dies/get better). When the series goes into the present time she's being pressured (lightly) by the Jangs to let go and start living (sending Hee Soo away and have kids). As she's reaching breaking point an escape appears in the form of carpenter dude, who forces his way into her heart (against her will) but he is also just a temporary fix which she realizes and tries to end. Unfortunately, she got caught and the second half of the series happens.
Maybe before the ending there will be another organic 2 on the way I felt so sorry for j soo he loves her so much
EDIT: Misread the comment
Disagree, I'm only saying I'm disappointed in what they did not what it is. You can only guess what it is if you've actually watched either spoilers or the episode itself.
Best character joon soo. Stupidest character jiran. Most annoying character joon soo's mother. Most realistic…
Because his wife didn't cheat on him, he's just accusing her without any actual evidence (the only evidence he has only show them to be friends and he still managed to twist it in his stupid head into something else). Her only mistake was to stand surety for someone without discussing it with him first.
Sigh, why did the writer have to do that? Not gonna be back until it finishes and except for the ending of this one, I'm not knowingly gonna watch anything this writer ever writes again.
My problem with this story is that the wife is rewarded for having cheated. In the end, she did not have to put any effort to salvage the relationship but will reap all the benefits from it. Instead, it's the husband who does all the work on it. He never seemed to have been a priority for her the way she is for him, and the ending does not make me confident that has changed or that she will actually put any work into the relationship.
I know some will argue that she did all the housework and raised their kid but those are part of being a family and having a home NOT part of the relationship. Sure family and marriage are intrinsically linked but they are not the same thing and while I agree that she put tons of effort into that part, she did nothing for her marriage other than fake smiling and lying to her husband that everything was fine.
