Spoilers for Season 1, Episode 8. Hyun-woo’s resolve to stay at the company and his increasing suspicion of Eun-sung sharpen the corporate conflict, while his marriage to Hae-in reaches a breaking point. An episode-specific recap reports that the couple decide to part ways through divorce; the episode also features Song Joong-ki in a guest role as Hae-in’s lawyer.
What happens in Episode 8?
Netflix’s official synopsis foregrounds two connected tensions: Hyun-woo remains firm about staying in the company despite his strained relationship with Hae-in, and his suspicions about Eun-sung continue to grow. The story therefore moves on both a personal track—the couple’s deteriorating marriage—and a corporate one, where Hyun-woo is increasingly wary of what is happening around him.

ComingSoon’s episode-specific recap reports that Hyun-woo and Hae-in mutually decide to part ways through divorce. That decision makes the marriage crisis more than a passing argument: the couple confront the possibility of ending the relationship even as the company conflict remains unresolved.
How the marriage and company conflict connect
The episode places Hyun-woo’s commitment to the company alongside the strain between the spouses. His choice to remain at work does not resolve the personal conflict, and his growing distrust of Eun-sung adds another source of pressure. The result is a relationship story unfolding within a wider struggle over the company, rather than a separate workplace subplot.

Song Joong-ki’s guest appearance
ComingSoon reports that Song Joong-ki appears as Hae-in’s lawyer in the divorce proceedings. This is a special guest role, not a series-regular credit. Netflix’s brief episode synopsis does not mention the appearance.
