Episode 1 ends with Park Min Young’s character, Ji Won, returning to the past and beginning to plan her revenge. Throughout episode 2, she attempts to right the wrongs of her past, starting with a work project.
However, the episode ends with her returning home, where her future husband, Min Hwan, is surprisingly in the shower. From there, one of the most painfully cringy “bedroom” scenes happens, with Min Hwan attempting to seduce Ji Won.

The scene is meant to be humorous as it foreshadows her traitorous best friend arriving at any moment, likely just as the awkward towel drop happened, but this moment could also be seen as nonconsensual despite the comedy it intends to portray. In the end, the scene did not portray the effects it meant to.
