How I Am 1 Millimeter, Episode 16: Marriage Cracked Due to Jealousy
The conflict between Ngan and her husband reached its peak when Nghiem became unreasonably jealous. At the same time, Vien bluntly criticized Ngan's choice, causing her deep hurt.
Nghiêm's jealousy flared up, pushing the marriage to the brink of collapse.
In episode 16 of "One Millimeter Away From You," the relationship between Ngan and her husband, Nghiem, becomes increasingly strained. The conflict erupts when Nghiem sees Ngan appearing with Vien on a television news broadcast. Unable to control his jealousy, he utters harsh words in front of their daughter, frightening her.
The subsequent conversation in the private room escalated the conflict to its peak. Nghiem believed that Ngan was deliberately "sabotaging" his startup plans and always prioritized Vien over him. He lost control and hinted at Ngan's infidelity. In response, Ngan vehemently retorted, "In this house, if someone is ever unfaithful, it won't be me." She also frankly addressed the negative rumors about Nghiem and reiterated their prenuptial agreement.
Viễn's harsh words deeply hurt Ngân.
Not only did Ngân face conflict from her husband, but she also had to endure blunt and bitter remarks from Viễn. Believing Ngân had chosen the wrong husband, Viễn mocked her, calling her "squinty-eyed" and saying her choice had "embarrassed" him. He even turned to Tú and Thư, warning them to be careful when choosing husbands, making Ngân feel belittled and humiliated.
In reality, Viễn acted that way because he had learned Nghiêm's true nature from friends – a man whose ambition outweighed his talent and who had a notorious reputation for his character. He only wanted to protect Ngân. However, Viễn's actions hurt Ngân deeply. She left in tears.
As he chased Ngan down to the parking lot, even though he saw her crying, Vien insisted he wouldn't retract what he had said. "You reap what you sow," he said bluntly, declaring that he would no longer interfere in her family matters.
The behind-the-scenes details reveal many secrets.
Tu and Thu set a trap to find an old friend.
In another development, while jogging, Thu encountered a man with ill intentions but was fortunately helped by a mysterious man. Upon returning home, she discovered a bag of rice cakes hanging on the gate. Initially, she and Tu thought it was a gift from Chien, but Chien later denied it. This detail made them suspect Bien was very close by.
To clarify everything, Tú planned a "trap" to force both Biên and Đức to reveal themselves. She intended to spread the rumor that Thư ("Tube of Tins") was about to get married and that "There's a joyous occasion at the headquarters" to see the reactions of her two close friends.
Nghiêm's suspicious behavior
Viễn's suspicions about Nghiêm became even more credible when Nghiêm behaved inappropriately towards Nga, Đức's girlfriend. He deliberately touched Nga's body when she came to report. Although aware of this, Nga had to endure it for fear of affecting her job. Đức witnessed the incident from a distance and was very worried about his girlfriend.
These plot points show that relationships are becoming increasingly complex and many secrets are gradually being revealed. Watch episode 17 of the drama "One Millimeter Away From You" airing at 8 PM on October 30th on VTV3.
