The 20-54 age group rating was 3.8%, ranking first among all programs that day. In this episode, the Sales Team 3 of Durumi Electronics carried out a casino operation targeting the golden spoon sexual offender Tak Jong-gu (Kim Min-jun). Tak Jong-gu, who has a congressman father and a chaebol family mother, was involved in crimes against women but was sentenced to two years of probation and frequented casinos. To enter the 22nd-floor VIP room where Tak Jong-gu stayed, Ki Young-do (Moo Jin-sung) wore special glasses and tried to secure VIP tickets, but the appearance of Moon Da-rae (Moon Seung-yoo) caused him to lose the tickets, disrupting the operation. Consequently, Yoo Bo-na (Gong Hyo-jin) decided to personally enter the casino to resolve the issue. Meanwhile, Yoo Bo-na experienced conflicts and family turmoil surrounding the in-law family memorial rites. When her mother-in-law Ok Seon-ja (Cha Mi-kyung) expressed dissatisfaction by mentioning the daughter-in-law’s family history, Kwon Tae-sung (Jung Joon-won) stood by his wife, saying, ″Just as I am a precious son to my mother, this person is my precious wife.″ Ok Seon-ja became enraged, threw food, and threw the household into chaos. Yoo Bo-na was overwhelmed with complex emotions as she observed her family. Later, their daughter Kwon Yul (Hwang Bom-i), who was playing at the playground, went missing, but the situation was resolved when Yoo Bo-na found her on the apartment rooftop. The family voted on whether to continue the memorial rites, and even Ok Seon-ja agreed to abolish them. At the end of the broadcast, Kwon Tae-sung arrived at the casino following Cheon Sung-gil’s (Kim Jong-gu) vehicle while covering a fall accident and got into a scuffle with security guards, ending up in the same place as Yoo Bo-na. This put Yoo Bo-na at risk of having her identity discovered by her husband, heightening the tension of the drama. Meanwhile, Jung Joon-won was involved in a controversy over his attitude after appearing on a variety show to promote ″Married Woman Killer.″ The 6th episode of ″Married Woman Killer″ will air on the 15th at 9:50 PM.
