Summary
Forget My Wife, Try Me (also known as “부인 말고 나는 어때?”, “What About Me, Besides My Wife?”) by Baek Yeon‑ho.
Yin Taerim is the CEO of a small, struggling company on the verge of collapse. Desperate to keep things afloat, he seeks help from Seo Yi-rin, a powerful businesswoman known for using her influence—and occasionally her romantic relationships—to sway decisions in her favor.
However, instead of offering direct support, Yi-rin introduces Taerim to her husband, Jin Hakyung, a cold and influential CEO with a mysterious presence. During their first meeting, Hakyung offers an unexpected deal:
“Forget my wife. Try me.”
Shocked and confused, Taerim is pulled into Hakyung’s world—a place where power, seduction, and emotional manipulation blend. What starts as a business proposal quickly spirals into a complicated, steamy relationship where the lines between dominance and vulnerability blur. As the two men grow closer, Taerim begins to question his motives, his pride, and what he truly wants—not just for his company, but for himself. Hakyung, cool and unreadable, continues to test Taerim’s resolve, offering both opportunity and emotional risk.
