Towards the end of The Matchmakers episode 15, Jung-Woo (Rowoon) wants to confirm Soon-Deok’s (Cho Yi-Hyun) stand on running away together. He had asked this question at the beginning of the episode as well.
At the time, she had agreed to run away with him after the maidens’ wedding. Jung-Woo asks her again, but this time, she slightly changes her answer. Soon-Deok mentions that she would run away with him but after six-seven years. As she adopted her eldest brother-in-law’s son, she wants to see him get married.
Jung-Woo is surprised by the change of answer. Soon-Deok asks him why he is in a hurry. To this, he replies, “I do not want to leave you in this house even a day more.” He is concerned about Soon-Deok’s safety because he is aware of her evil mother-in-law, So-Hyun.
