My interpretation is that she wanted to see how committed he was, and that she originally had no intention of actually going to him, but then changed her mind at the last second when she saw him walking away. It’s kind of a power play on her part, since he thinks he loves her more than she loves him, but she seemed to be interested in him from the start to be so curious about him.

I also like to think there’s a part of her that wanted to see him not get everything he wanted for once, since he grew up in a prestigious family, went to a good school, got hired on immediately in a sought after position. He’s kind of got the silver spoon thing going on, while she’s had to fight her way up against the odds.

Again, that’s my interpretation, so for him not to know that she was actually out there waiting even longer for him than he was for her, means he’s unaware that she actually loves him more than he knows, or how much effort she’s willing to put into her marriage. After all, when he proposed, she said she didn’t love him, and he said that he could make her change her mind. Right now he’s convinced that she’s never changed (that she only wants her career and isn’t focused on anything else, including him and their marriage), but actually there is a part of her that loves him, even if she’s refusing to show to him.

Up until the end of the episode, we’ve kind of been under the impression that her relationship with the golf pro fuckboi (pre-pro days) was one of passion – she loved him, but he didn’t have the money or power or family to help her succeed, so she dumped him, and then married the guy with the powerful family and good career that could help her achieve her dreams of becoming an anchorwoman. It’s a marriage of convenience, not love. But her anxious waiting as she watched him wait hours in hopes of having dinner with her means that their marriage might not be as practical as everyone thinks, which is why I’m excited for both of them to start learning why they fell in love in the first place (or for Tae Wook to learn that she actually really does love him, and always has).

And, until those last few minutes when we caught a glimpse of how Hye Ran really felt, I thought it’d be best for the two of them to get divorced since their marriage was a hollow sham. But now it’s not, especially since we’re going to get to the good stuff where he defends her out his sense of honor and duty as a bleeding-heart civil rights attorney, and they both grow closer as they stand together against the world that wants to tear them down. Or so I will imagine for now.
