Optimistic viewers want to see Dr. Ji Sun Woo (Kim Hee Ae) and her son Lee Joon Young (Jeon Jin Seo) move on from their painful past and continue forward. This alternative ending will show how both the mother and child move forward and find happiness by completely removing the unfaithful father figure from their family.

"I want Joon Young to overcome his trauma under his mother's care. I want Dr. Ji to rediscover peace in her daily life. I want both of them to be happy because they truly deserve it. I want an ending that is cliché but beautiful like that. After all the pressure they — and I — have experienced, of course, that's what I want," said a netizen.

2. A Fresh Start

Romantic viewers want Dr. Ji Sun Woo to have a chance to regain true love with her colleague and psychiatrist, Dr. Kim Yoon Gi (Lee Moo Saeng). In fact, many viewers feel truly disappointed seeing this friendly character go 'in vain'.

"I want to see Dr. Ji find someone normal and have a chance to live a better life. I want Dr. Kim to be the one who heals Dr. Ji, her past trauma, and also her son. I think that's the only way to help Joon Young recover. So that Dr. Ji can live in happiness," another netizen expressed.

3. Repeating the Past

Compassionate and forgiving viewers want to see Dr. Ji Sun Woo give Lee Tae Oh (Park Hae Joon) a chance to fix things. In this alternative ending, Lee Tae Oh admits his mistakes, learns from his experiences, and comes back to live faithfully to his wife and child. Although not everyone may like it, this ending will teach a lesson: everyone deserves a second chance.

"I know it doesn't make sense, but I keep thinking about how Dr. Ji and Lee Tae Oh loved each other in the beginning of the story. I want to see them work together to go back to that time. I want Lee Tae Oh to learn from his mistakes and come back as a new person. Am I being too unrealistic?" a netizen said.

4. Original Ending

Finally, satisfied viewers claim that the original ending of THE WORLD OF THE MARRIED was already perfect and there is no better way to end this drama. This ending showcases the most complex mix of emotions, revealing the 'real victims of the battle that takes place in the chaotic world of marriage'. Furthermore, this ending is also considered fitting because it is closest to 'what actually happens to a broken family'.

"The married couple in THE WORLD OF THE MARRIED would never let go of each other if Joon Young didn't leave. This issue is the main thing that teaches Dr. Ji and Lee Tae Oh that they have to leave everything behind and focus on protecting their son from their messy lives. The original ending is the most realistic. Any other way would be forced," a netizen said.
