“Remarriage & Desires” episode 8 review
That was …. An ending….
I’m surprised that they went toward a happy end even though the drama was all about all through its run. It diluted the message they’ve tried to communicate and the atmosphere the drama has created.
It would be wonderful it if she got married to Cha Seok-Jin like she had promised. And should a sequel season be on the cards and it’s fantastic to examine the wedding and the way it could end up falling apart due to her doing her duty.
I’ve never believed that Seo Hye-Seung was in love with Lee Hyung-Ju. It was apparent that Seo Hye-Seung was captivated by her due to the possibility that she defied his expectations in the beginning however, her character didn’t display much attraction to Seo Hye-Ju until later in the show. It caught me off-guard because I couldn’t know how or when she fell in love with the man. It’s not a problem, it’s true that he’s attractive, but she was obsessed with getting her revenge and was focused on the part that she was pursuing, which is why it was odd that she finally did end up falling in love with him.
The entire wedding scene came straight from an edgy 90s romantic comedy. It’s not in line with the overall tone of the story. It’s evident that Lee Hyung-Ju’s mother was against this. On the top being that Seo Hye-Seung promised at minimum three people that she’d do things in the event that they saved Lee Hyung-Ju. These promises, as well as the whole planning and suspense fell out of the window.
Netflix dramas don’t always aim for happy endings. This is especially true when it appears that it could alter the overall plot of the show, that makes me shocked that it ended as this.
I can understand that the screenwriter may be hoping for to have a happy end to a happy ending, however I do not like the end. It makes the whole buildup to that point dissipate.
The drama appears to be hinting towards a second season, since they surely will… the show could have given viewers more reason to request an encore in the event that the finale wasn’t so happy. If you wrap up the show so beautifully, but then you introduce an unrelated scene that is simply testing the waters in order to determine if you could make it a part 2. …. It’s… it’s an excessive amount. There is no need for two seasons.

FAQ About Remarriage & Desires
What Was REX? What Happened To Choi Yoo-Sun?
It was immediately established in the first episode of “Remarriage and Wants” Season 1 that REX was a wedding arranging agency which promised top-quality unions. They connected the members according to their financial and social situation and classified their members into various levels, such as Black Level Tier, Secret Level, Diamond Level, and Platinum Level. The members who were black were able to have a net worth of over 100 million won. so, by comparing their status prospective customers would be able to gauge the security and pleasure their lives would be following the wedding. A majority of the marriage arrangements between a rich groom and a prospective spouse of a trophy were handled with the help of the head of REX Choi Yoo Sun, who was active in the matchmaking process.
In the film, Choi Yoo-sun came across Lee Hyung-Ju, CEO of the gaming company Hibull which had assets that exceeded two trillion won. Mrs. Choi quickly categorized him as a super-black level member. The Mr. Lee was in his in his 40s when he was living in a lavish home along with his wife and teenage son. His wife had cheated on him and the Mr. Lee gave her a divorce. Since then, the divorce has been a resounding success. Lee had lost his confidence in women. His mother insisted that he marry again because she wanted her child to have a loving mother. Mr. Lee’s mother called Mrs. Choi and asked her to locate someone in her early 30s that would be the ideal grandparent for her child and the perfect spouse for their son. This could, in turn put an end to all the gossip that was circulating within the society.
In REX In REX, the Mrs. Choi shortlisted a couple of candidates. Among them they had two notable candidates: Jin Yoo-hui, the manipulative lawyer who deceived the Mr. Kang, and Jung Mi-Jin who was the daughter of Secretary of Civil Affairs Go Ae-Ran. Ae-Ran was secretly backing Son Pil-young, an ex-congressman who was running in the presidential election in November and was confident that he would prevail. The Mrs. Choi’s husband Chairman Cha Yong-hwan had a vast area of land outside of the city that was subject to a restrictions of the government. It was therefore unable to be developed. But Ae-Ran had promised the wife. Choi that she would convince the chairman. Son that he should lift this restriction upon his election if she could arrange an engagement between their daughter Jung Mi Jin, along with Lee HyungJu. This was the reasons the reason the Mrs. Choi took an active involvement in the whole deal because she had personal reasons tied to the deal.
Jin Yoo-hui, however, wanted Mr. Lee for herself and became obsessed with the man. She then devised a sinister scheme to snag the attention of Mr. Lee. But, after the infamous Ms. Seo exposed Yoo-hui and her actions to the world and the REX board, everyone in REX doubted the admission procedure and decided to quit the company. REX was falling apart daily, brick by brick and the lady. Choi had no intention of rescuing it. She claimed to be an entrepreneur, but she was more than matchmaker. Hence at the end of the day when she was unable to establish a relationship with the Mr. Lee and Jung Mi-Jin and Jung Mi-Jin, she decided to shutter the REX and shift into an other business. Another reason to abandon REX was the fact that the agency that was involved in marriages was caught in a scandal of corruption that was well-publicized and the media frequently focused on its name, which frightened the Mrs. Choi more. She was hoping for REX to become a reliable secret society that could safeguard the privacy of its participants however, once the whole scandal was exposed the Mrs. Choi decided to abandon the organization. But an uninvited client who was spotted at the end of “Remarriage and Love” Season 1 persuaded her to reconsider her decision.
Did Seo Hye-Seung Take Her Revenge From Jin Yoo-Hui?
Jin Yoo-hui was the unlegitimate daughter of the former congressman Son Pil-young. He had promised her mother to marry her, but she escaped and got married to a different person to keep her public image. Today Jin Yoo-hui resorted to this deceit to blackmail her dad and employed her influence periodically time to make things happen to her advantage. In a brief moment I believed the writers of “Remarriage and Desires” tried to bring more depth to Jin Yoo-hui. In reality, she was presented as a pure antagonist to the very end , and was completely obsessed with her revenge. It was unclear the reason Jin Yoo-hui was seeking since she was wealthy already and was leading an easy life. Maybe she got obsessed with getting the best from the bunch and one “super” members of the black community, like Lee HyungJu, who was wealthy and charming, was the perfect candidate. Many of the other black members were gruff old grandpas Jin Yoo-hui was seeking excellence in all aspects whether it was appearances or money or even the ability to think for herself.
But, when Jin Yoo-hui began to gaze at Ms. Lee, Seo Hye-seung who was able to see Yoo-hui once more at REX and determined to stop her. It was barely an entire an year that the time Mr. Kang killed himself, Yoo-hui was already looking for her next target and Ms. Seo wanted to expose her before she would destroy another family. Although the ms. Seo had revealed the facts about Yoo-hui’s behavior with the Mr. Lee, she needed more proof to place her in jail This is where the former president of TX engineering Choi Myeongwoo, who was the president of TX engineering, was brought in. Myeong-woo was also the one who offered to bribe Ms. Kang with one billion of dollars in cash, money that Yoo-hui had stolen from him, and placed all the blame on Mr. Kang. In the meantime, the Mr. Kang committed suicide, Mr. Choi was sent to prison for financial fraud. Mrs. Seo visited Mr. Choi in prison and tried to persuade the former to give evidence against Yoo Hui, but Choi did not agree.
The Mr. Lee finally intervened and assisted him. Choi to come out from prison. Moreover, at the Chateau Delouis Day Celebration, the Mr. Choi confessed that Yoo-hui was a manipulator and lured him into giving false evidence to the Mr. Kang and put all the blame on him in order that she could get away with the cash. Following his confession, police arrested Yoohui, however, she bribed her father, Son Pil-young, in order to aid her escape from prison, and later paid goons to murder Choi Myeong-woo. Goons made it appear like a suicide. Eventually, the police uncovered the written confession of Mr. Choi’s home in which the man claimed the Mr. Lee forced him to make false statements which led to Yoo-hui being released from any and all charges. However, she crossed the line when she bribed an individual driver who killed the victim. Seo’s child, Mi-jin in order to get revenge against the mother of Ms. Seo.
As she tried to rid herself of Yoo-hui. Seo went through her husband’s old belongings and found his damaged phone that she brought to the data recovery centre to see what evidence was in the phone. The phone discovered a video recording in which Yoo-hui stated the Son Pil-young to be her birth father and that someday she would kill him for having abandoned her mother. She was. Seo knew that Pil-young was helping Yoo-hui and that as her father Pil-young was the only one to stop her. But, Pil-young was blinded from some type of guilt, and didn’t realize that he was helping his daughter with her evil strategy. Instead of stopping Yoohui Pil-young made contact with Go Ae Ran to get rid of Mrs. Seo before she could publically speak her mind and make a mess of his presidency. In a flash he made contact with Ae-Ran in order to remove the Ms. Seo. Although Ae-Ran allegedly kidnapped the woman. Seo, she didn’t take her life. She was a victim of sex. Seo convinced Ae-Ran that Pil-young was sinking in the ocean which would sink her together with him, as she had previously informed the media and police about her video. Ae-Ran was certain that Pil-young was lost in his ways and was an unreliable person, so she set out to sabotage him. She also made a video to accuse the man for attempting to kill Mrs. Seo that he planned along with his wicked daughter Yoo-hui.
When the video footage and possible evidence was discovered Yoo-hui and Pil-young were incarcerated. After the conclusion of “Remarriage as well as Desires” Season 1 Mrs. Seo went to the prison to visit Yoo-hui and even though she was locked up she did not feel any regret in her conduct. She explained to her. Seo that as a person who was stripped of everything she climbed upwards and, like all human being who is looking for the things they do not have She has the same desire. She was looking for the attention of Mr. Lee. She desired to be wealthy and prosperous, and even although she took the wrong route to achieve her goals, she was happy about it. Yoo-hui felt happy that she ultimately destroyed her father even though it was at the expense of her own detention. Yoo-hui finally told the actress. Seo that it was only one of the first steps in her adventure, possibly suggesting her return in “Remarriage and Wishes” Season 2. She was determined to take revenge on everyone who put her in the prison.
