Marry My Husband Episode 16 Recap
Yu-ra is taken to the police station after Su-min’s recording reaches the police, however, it doesn’t take her much effort to get out of the situation. But Yu-ra underestimates the situation as Han-il meets her outside the police station and tells her that she has been fired from her position.
Later, Ji-hyuk also tells her she is in clear trouble as she presents Su-min’s father in front of her. The man is taken under custody and is ready to speak while Yu-ra is taken back for investigation. Elsewhere, Joo-ran’s surgery is a success and she is determined to start anew by ensuring that her daughter doesn’t grow up with a father like her husband.
Meanwhile, Eun-ho finally sees Hee-yeon at U&K Foods but is surprised when she acts distant. He confronts her about the same and Hee-yeon finally makes it clear that she likes him and thus begins the journey of a new couple. Later, Ji-won arrives at the Yu family house for a formal lunch with Ji-hyuk’s family.
She shows her determination to work hard as Ji-hyuk’s significant other in front of Han-il who finally has nothing to hold against her. Following this, Ji-won and Ji-hyuk organise a simple dinner with Joo-ran, Suk-joon, Hee-yeon and Eun-ho at Ji-won’s house where they all celebrate the beginning of their new journeys.
Later, Suk-joon offers to take Joo-ran home while Eun-ho does the same for Hee-yeon. As the two couples leave, Ji-hyuk is confused about the closeness between Hee-yeon and Eun-ho before he too leaves to go back downstairs. Ji-won returns home, unaware that a shadow looms near her.
Suddenly, her doorbell rings and she opens it to see no one outside, right then Su-min appears out of nowhere and uses a taser to make Ji-won faint. Sometime later, Ji-won wakes up to see her hands bound while Su-min is pouring thinner around the house to start a fire. She then comes to Ji-won and repeats the words she said to her in her previous life while looking innocent.
She then blames Ji-won for making her do this by throwing Min-hwan at her and confesses how she had to kill him because he was trying to kill her. Su-min tells her that she will play the victim once again by making people pity her and is happy that she has won over Ji-won. However, Ji-won makes her realise that she has lost and this time it is Ji-won who has won the game.
Ji-won gets up from her place and breaks out of the binds before locking Su-min in a Judo move and making sure that she stays there until backup arrives. Su-min is sure that she will get away this time as there is no evidence against her until Ji-won tells her that her confession has been recorded and there is no way she can run away after killing Min-hwan.
A flashback shows how Ji-won found out that Su-min got her hands on a flammable substance and planned this trap for Su-min as she no longer wants to run away from her. However, Ji-hyuk was against this and only agreed after he made sure that Ji-won could defend herself. Their plan finally worked and Su-min will no longer bring fear into their lives.
The two end the day in each others’ arms as they look forward to a new beginning. Elsewhere, Yu-ra is in deep trouble and rushes to leave the country. She takes the keys to her car from her subordinate and rushes to the airport, however, fate takes her towards the end that was previously given to Ji-hyuk.
The next day, Ji-hyuk notices that his mark is no longer there and rushes to tell Ji-won about this. As the two think about what could’ve caused this, they see news about Yu-ra’s accident and understand that Ji-hyuk has been saved from his ill fate. Soon, the girl group get together to celebrate their new beginnings at Eun-ho’s new restaurant while Ji-won lives a fulfilling life with Ji-hyuk who is looking forward to their future together.

Marry My Husband Episode 16 Review
The show has finally come to an end and this has to be one of the most perfect endings in Kdrama history. The ending truly gave viewers everything we wanted and brought a beautiful sense of peace that we all deserve. Meanwhile, it also brought a sense of joy to all the webtoon fans as they got the ending that we wanted to see beyond the chapters of the webtoon.
While some parts of the drama have changed and brought in a new form of excitement which led to a few complaints, it was truly worth it when seeing how the finale has wrapped everything so clearly. Additionally, there have been some stories that may look like they’ve been left hanging, but is just a type of beauty that will have us going back to experience this journey again.
Altogether, this Kdrama has been the perfect start to this year and with a message that we all deserve a second chance, the Kdrama has earned its spot in our hearts.
