Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Pi Seon-Ju (Shim Yi-Young) works as an interior designer in a small neighborhood. She is marred to Jeon Nam-Jin (Jung Young-Sub), who is an ambitious architect. Although Pi Seon-Ju is devoted to her husband, her husband falls in love with Jin Sang-A (Choi Jung-Yoon), who will become the successor of an architecture company. To further purse his love and ambitions, Jeon Nam-Jin demands a divorce from Pi Seon-Ju. After their divorce, Pi Seon-Ju decides to start her new life. Meanwhile, Architect Kim So-Woo (Song Chang-Eui) is married to Jin Sang-A. Unlike Jin Sang-A, he is satisfied with a stable situation rather than being fueled with ambition. Due to his wife's affair with Jeon Nam-Jin, Kim So-Woo gets divorced. After meeting Pi Seon-Ju, Kim So-Woo experiences a turning point in his life.

Kwan Sep 26 2025 3:48 pm OMG, Seon-Ju, get control of yourself. I feel really sorry for all the misfortune that befalls you, but you are your own worst enemy!

Brian Jun 18 2025 10:38 am Just started watching this.... like it but if the CEO is such a great judge of character, how did he end up with a wife and 2 daughters who are selfish amoralists?

Sushi87 Jun 03 2025 11:27 am I finished because I like the actors except Sang Ah's Mom. Plot was over the top but enteetaining.

Sad that they made Sang Ah character really bad. She's a good actress though.

Cathy Jun 02 2025 9:33 pm I really liked so much of this drama. How the writers kept everyone's relationship in order was amazing, although really unrealistic. It was fun, great acting.

Lj May 31 2025 4:38 pm today is wedding how on earth did she get out this beyond crazy

Mandem May 30 2025 1:55 pm Worst drama ever!! How can any couple get together. They'er all related. I guess being with your brother or sister is OK. So annoying!!

1415 May 25 2025 11:55 pm I am so confused!!!! How many birth secrets are they gonna reveal?! Right now, no one had their own child, found them or got them stolen. It's so confusing thinking okay people can finally like each other then, bam, a birth secret.

How is Woo Sang, Sang-a older brother or did the writers forget that they said he was born before her and Seon-ju and left abandoned. So, that would make him older than them and he looks like he's in his early twenties, hence the love triangle with the early twenty year old's girls.

I thought Woo Sang older brother would be the abandoned child from Soon-ae but that would have been too much like right. I'm sick of the confusion now, we just had another birth secret drop in this ep, like really.

EssBoog Apr 24 2025 8:29 pm The teasers for Ep 102 are exciting. I wouldn't put it past "Grace" and Sang Ah to try and harm the Father.

And Woo Sang's mother has got to go. When will she realize that Mi Ju has saved her son's life more than once already?

Z Apr 24 2025 2:39 am Ep. 100 the best episode !

Evon Hamilton Apr 16 2025 1:54 pm When will Seon Ju and Woo final get together i would love to see his mother gave them a nice office space and Jin goes into bankruptcy and her sister without love she is loud and annoying rooting for Seon

Zee Apr 07 2025 1:55 am I can’t wait to watch Episode 88, the mystery lady must be Kim So Woo’s real mother.

oberen Apr 06 2025 2:32 pm Wonder what will happen when all the nasty and surprising truths are revealed in the upcoming episodes including So-Woo,'s seeming like orphanage status lol.

Will Soon-Ae Sang+A and Nam Jin scramble to recover lost grounds and beg for forgiveness from Joong Bae, So-Woo and Seon-Ju respectively?

EssBoog Apr 02 2025 4:51 pm I want to know who the mysterious lady in the hotel is!

Elaine Mar 28 2025 3:06 pm Why is Sang-A so bitter and childish, when she knows she is not the Chairman's daughter, she should be treating Seon-Ju kindly, also doing thing to mess up things. It seem that all the women in her family are really just Bi*#h. She and her mother are the worst

Totallytwisted Mar 27 2025 2:38 pm How long is the company will survive the incompetence of Jin Sang-A????

Totallytwisted Mar 24 2025 9:21 pm The character Jin Sang-A can you please shut Up!

  Viewer are tried of your Whining.....Stop.

Divey Mar 14 2025 1:54 pm At what point is pi Seon-Ju and her family supposed to smile at least! A lot of bad stuff keep happening to just them. At least let sang ah be shamed for once.

Quantumnurse Mar 07 2025 9:19 am "Desperate Mrs. SeonJu" 's rating should be higher, I would recommend high 80s or low 90s. I really like Kim So-Woo's eye contact and facial expressions when he is talking with Pi Seon Ju (Song Chang-Eui is a good actor and it shows from his facial expressions). He makes an on-screen chemistry between Kim So Woo and Pi Seon Ju happening and it is enjoyable to watch. It is nearing episode 70, it is about time the writer exposes the evil and pathological liars mother Sim Soon-Ae and daugthers Jin Sang-A and Jin Chu-A's wicked deeds. Mother Han Man-Eun and Pi sisters have been suffering to long, let them get their happiness sooner than later. Please.

Ahjuma Feb 25 2025 10:11 pm I stopped watching this drama few weeks ago then watched it again after skipping 10-15 episodes. The story is getting interesting - I got hooked with the supporting loveteams.

Quantumnurse Feb 25 2025 8:13 am I like the "Desperate Mrs. SeonJu" story line so far. I have not seen an interesting drama either a 50 episodes weekend nor a 120 episode daily drama from KBS nor MBC nor SBS for a while. "Desperate Mrs. JeonJu" is a breath of fresh air. Keep up the good work MBC and its production team. Bravo.

Chingu Feb 11 2025 9:08 pm Jin Sang A’s voice is sooo annoying.

Xxnins Feb 09 2025 12:24 am The real makjang

Kat Jan 30 2025 11:12 am Why has it not been on this week?

Louisa Jan 29 2025 12:28 pm Boy, I sure hate the way both cocoa and Vikki change the viewing when it is Mn - Fri then they make one wait many days before the next episode. the inconsistency is frustrating. And deteriorates the feelings for wanting to watch the next episode even though I want to see how it all plays out. Especially when the ridiculous "evil" still keeps getting away with whatever the screen play is. Very unbelievable

Quantumnurse Jan 29 2025 6:56 am @TDS, I do not think Sim Soon-Ae is the mother of Pi Seon Ju. I would think the Chairman Jin Joong-Bae and his first wife (that died in the car collision when Sim Soon-Ae was driving the car) were/are the parents of Pi Seon Ju. But we will wait and see.

TDS Jan 20 2025 6:50 pm I am so confused, is Sim Soon-Ae the real mother for Pi Seon-Ju??????

Wow that is a pickle.......!

Dmm Jan 17 2025 1:25 pm Come on, there's got to be a big twist of some kind, like Seon-Ju really being the daughter of the Chairman, and that twit Sang-A being hung out to dry. That would be karma at it's finest!

Quantumnurse Jan 17 2025 11:13 am I really enjoy watching "친절한 선주씨" / "Desperate Mrs. Seon Ju". It has been awhile that I have not watched or I skipped watching MBC daily drama series that were mostly revenge stories among the rich and famous. Keep up the good work, hwaiting.

TDS Jan 06 2025 3:33 pm Finally these two are leaving their marriages.

If their children did not say anything to them.....they were both married to Jerks.

Totallytwisted Jan 02 2025 11:48 am Moron goes to the restaurant and laugh at car on fire......that is insane????

  Evil should not get any chances, but the writer giving the children trauma in the story for sure.  What is next?

Totallytwisted Dec 30 2024 10:36 am Jin Sang-A and Jeon Nam-Jin are the worse characters in a drama for 2024.

Terrible parents, human being, and all around cheats.?????????????????

Thea Dec 26 2024 10:10 am Nam-Jin is the worse of the worse for a husband, how could take that money from the lotto ticket and buy his mother a new apartment, when his wife suffered to send him to school overseas and he comes back and cheat and steal from her, and the wicked witches hope they and him get what they deserve, hope the writers ends this right.

jacques richard martel Dec 16 2024 11:04 am Desperate Mrs. Seonju when will it air ep 15

Totallytwisted Dec 06 2024 12:12 am How sick can this drama Be?

  Adult man goes back to his momma.....great choice.

Forget he has a daughter. Let's not forget the woman that want to steal him???

    Please take the trash......you deserve the trash man and his mother.

chingu Dec 04 2024 2:19 am The young version of Pi Seon Ju's mother and Ji Sang Ah's 2nd mother is soo far out and very different from the old version. The young version is tall, how can the height decrease so much?

Beta Nim Dec 01 2024 10:49 pm It feels odd to me that the actress Choi Jung-Yoon is playing the villainess now. This is great to add to her acting resume! <3

RenaBMo50 Nov 28 2024 1:41 pm Very similar storyline as Amor Fati

Ajumma Nov 26 2024 9:02 pm The mistress and the husband really deserve each other. Aside from their being mean and having bad attitude, they both look old for their character - especially the mistress - she looks like the mother of her real husband.

Totallytwisted Nov 25 2024 10:34 am The story the same two evil people having an affair and don't care about their children and/or family.

  Why get married in the first place if you like cheating....not seeing this drama.

sf Nov 23 2024 8:52 am This is a kind of drama to watch from ten to ten episodes in the end making a 12-episode drama.

Dian Nov 21 2024 6:20 am Okay so let me guess. Female protagonist got together with male protagonist, they got closer as time moves on, she learnt about male protagonist's cheating affair with her ex-husband, decided to take revenge on the two, main antagonist & female antagonist will tortore the life of female protagonist in the worst possible ways, female protagonist being intolerably dumb for the most part & then it ends (with a weak "happy ending" after 100+ episodes of nonsensical plot & sufferring). Y'all gotta try to explore more, daily drama writer-nims urghhh

sf Nov 20 2024 6:28 am Please, not again with this lady!
