In Would You Marry Me? Episode 10, opened with tension already high. Baek Sang-hyun discovered something he was not supposed to know. He found out that Kim Woo-joo and Yoo Mary were not a real couple.
It was a quiet moment that turned serious fast. Baek Sang-hyun asked Woo-joo about it, and before he could get a clear answer, Yoon Jin-kyung stepped in.
Jin-kyung pulled Baek Sang-hyun aside and said plainly, “You already knew they’re not a couple. Why are you pretending to be shocked?” Her tone was sharp and cold.
Then she told him that Woo-joo was the man she had mentioned earlier — the one who had a crush. Baek Sang-hyun reminded her that if they weren’t a real couple, their winnings would be canceled and legal action could follow.
Jin-kyung didn’t flinch. She showed him a black box video and said calmly, “If you expose them, I’ll reveal what this house is really used for.” It was clear she was threatening him.
She hinted that the house had ties to bribery. Then she told Baek Sang-hyun that it was better to protect each other — her man and his interests. It was a tense and quiet deal.
The Face Behind the Fraud
Elsewhere, the episode took a darker turn. Jang Han-goo finally showed his true face in front of Go Pil-nyeon. Up until now, he had pretended to be loyal. But that mask dropped quickly.
Jang Han-goo had been running a massive fraud. He made it look like Myung Soon-dang was supplying yakgwa to luxury hotels in America.
He used that fake business to attract big investors and even planned to build a factory in the U.S. The company’s chairman, Go Pil-nyeon, had no idea. She trusted him completely.
When she started feeling suspicious, she began investigating. But Jang Han-goo noticed her actions. He confronted her directly and confessed everything in a chilling way. His arrogance was shocking.
He told her that she should have handed over the company long ago. He even insulted her daughter, calling her unfit to lead. Then, in an even darker move, he gave Pil-nyeon medicine that could have killed her.
As Pil-nyeon lost consciousness, Han-goo said, “She has a chronic illness. If she dies now, it will look natural.” His voice was cold, without a hint of guilt. He added, “It’s better for her not to know the company she built is falling apart.”
The moment was disturbing, and his true cruelty came out.
The Truth Comes to Light
Kim Woo-joo later learned everything about Jang Han-goo’s crimes. He discovered that Han-goo was the one behind his parents’ death. He had also killed an employee, Ko Bu-jang, who had found out about the fake finances of Myung Soon-dang.
Han-goo had even lived a double life in America with his mistress, Oh Min-jung. It was all a long chain of lies.
When Han-goo tried to kill Go Pil-nyeon after she began investigating him, she barely survived. Her condition was critical, and Woo-joo was desperate.
Yoo Mary suggested something smart — wake up the chairman. She believed that Han-goo would panic if she showed signs of waking.
Woo-joo went to Han-goo’s son, Jang Eung-soo, for help. Eung-soo had always suspected his father’s dirty actions. Despite the fear, he decided to help Woo-joo. Together, they planned to lure Han-goo into a trap.
Eung-soo pretended to talk to Pil-nyeon as if she was awake, hoping Han-goo would hear and react. As expected, Han-goo panicked. He sent Oh Min-jung to the hospital with orders to secretly inject Pil-nyeon with drugs.
But the twist came fast — it wasn’t Pil-nyeon in the hospital bed. It was a police officer. Oh Min-jung was caught trying to kill her and was arrested on the spot.
Han-goo later visited her in custody. He told her to stay silent and promised to hire the best lawyer. He acted like he still cared, but it was clear he was only trying to protect himself.
Betrayal and Revenge
Kim Woo-joo confronted Han-goo, saying he knew everything about him and Oh Min-jung. Han-goo panicked and immediately abandoned both her and his son. He said he was just a victim, too. It was another lie in a long list of excuses.
Woo-joo then visited Oh Min-jung and told her that Han-goo had betrayed her. She looked shocked. Her anger turned into something dangerous. She said, “If you promise my son’s safety, I’ll give you what you want.” It was a broken woman’s last deal.
Oh Min-jung told Woo-joo about a cell phone that held all of Han-goo’s secrets — videos, messages, and details of every crime. But before Woo-joo could find it, Han-goo got there first. Inside the phone were records of his affair, financial fraud, and even the details of Woo-joo’s parents’ deaths.
When Woo-joo finally learned the truth, he was destroyed. He asked Han-goo, “Was it you? Were you the one who did this?” The realization hit him hard. His own uncle had been the man behind it all.
This episode was filled with sharp turns but still grounded in emotional truth. Each choice felt heavy. Each secret had a price. By the end, Woo-joo’s world had collapsed, and Han-goo’s empire was on the edge of ruin.
The tension, deceit, and raw drama made Would You Marry Me? episode 10 recap and ending explained one of the strongest chapters of the series so far.
