This episode featured Joo Da Hae getting fired from Baek Hak Group. She has now lost literally everything by trying everything to achieve success. The viewing rate statistics showed that more and more people like it as Ha Ryoo's revenge was sweeter while Joo Da Hae kept falling to the bottom.
The story of this episode seemed to revolve around Soo Ae, who plays the role of Joo Da Hae. Joo Da Hae's evil nature caused her to continue planning new schemes in desperate times. Let's take a look at the things she came up with to avoid any "crash and burn" situations.
1 Betrayal is only the beginning
After Baek Do Hoon begins to suspect her, she now had nobody on her side. The only person who was on a similar boat was Baek Ji Mi (Cha Hwa Yeon), who disliked Baek Hak Group. Baek Do Hoon and Baek Do Kyung's aunt Baek Ji Mi pretends to be unaware of Joo Da Hae's past. She was planning to use Joo Da Hae to bring down Baek Hak Group.
However, Joo Da Hae betrays Baek Ji Mi when she is on the verge of getting caught. She tries to frame Baek Ji Mi by creating a lie that the person who threatened her to leave her place in Baek Hak Group was Baek Ji Mi. in addition, Joo Dae Hae reveals that the person who put antifreeze in the Baek Hak Group CEO's drink was Baek Ji Mi.
However, Baek Ji Mi was a step ahead of her. Baek Ji Mi bribed a witness and overturned the whoel situation on Joo Da Hae. After choosing betrayal to save her own life, she gets caught red handed and gets kicked out of Baek Hak Group.
2 No such thing as Prid... Begging on her Knees
The funny thing is however, she was slapped twice in the 16th episode, not to mention having water poured on her face. In addition she had to beg on her knees. As soon as her lies were exposed by Baek Ji Mi, she got on her knees and began to beg for forgiveness. There was no such thing as pride in her book. Regardless, the CEO of Baek Hak Group refused to take her back and began to plan the divorce of Baek Do Hoon and Joo Da Hae.
Joo Da Hae even begs Baek Ji Mi for forgiveness. Baek Ji Mi comes near her and pours water on her head, then says, "You sold me out. How dare you sell me out just to save yourself." Joo Da Hae replies, "Please save me just this once time"
When both of them refused to forgive Joo Da Hae, she decides to find Ha Ryoo. In order to get out of the mess, she needed lawyer Cha Jae Woong to prove that there was nothing going on between her and Ha Ryoo. Once again, she got on her knees and begged Ha Ryoo. As somebody who had nothing to lose, all she could do was to beg on her knees. However, Ha Ryoo wasn't the type to forgive her so easily. Joo Da Hae ended up digging her own grave.
3 Lie without even Blinking
When Joo Da Hae begs Ha Ryoo for forgiveness, he lies to her that he would. He takes Joo Da Hae to the location where she was asleep with their daughter Eun Byul. He knew that Baek Do Hoon was following her. When Baek Do Hoon follows her to the location, he finds out about her past and becomes infuriated.
Baek Do Hoon says that he will forgive her for everything if she told the truth. Joo Da Hae however decides to keep lying. She had no idea what he had in mind. How could she? She had only approached him because he was the son of Baek Hak Group's CEO. If she told Baek Do Hoon the truth at the moment, her fate may have changed forever since she really does love him. However, she kept lying after she remembered her "promise" she made with Ha Ryoo. Unable to take her lies any longer, Baek Do Hoon slaps her. The broken trust had ended their love.
Regardless of Joo Da Hae's efforts, everything fails and she remains in the same position. However, only time will tell how clever she really is.
Meanwhile, Ha Ryoo seems to still be in love with Joo Da Hae seeing that he feels guilty after exposing all of her lies.
