Even if the CEO isn't the real killer, I need him to face consequences. He's creepy as fuck for basically buying Raik from his mother. What kind of adult in their right mind thinks it is okay for a child to sing in a cabaret club? His mother is just as fucked up. I really want Sena to somehow get on her ass and sue the shit out of her. I feel sad for Raik; all of the adults around him failed him.

Ra Ik's mother is the worst! Of course she is b/c mothers always are in these kinds of kdramas. The Industry is just as awful as we all think it is as well. Just greedy people profiting off the labor and blood, sweat and tears of children. Also, why do these dramas, always have to tie a characters past to someone else in the drama. Really no reason for Se Na to have been bullied by that arrogant prosecutor as a teen. I just wish these writer's could be a little more creative.

Episode 3 is very much a “how it all began” episode, and honestly, it was a full-on blubber fest. We see baby Ra-ik and how he enters the industry — and let’s be real, the whole situation is deeply unsettling. A CEO essentially buying a child from his mother? That’s beyond shady and immediately sets the tone.As the episode unfolds, we learn how Ra-ik meets Kang Woo-seong, making the present-day accusations even more heartbreaking. Everyone around Ra-ik seems ready to believe he’s guilty, and the fact that Maeng Se-na is the only one truly backing him hurts almost as much as the crime itself.There is clearly far more to this story than what we’re being shown. The mysterious ex-girlfriend keeps appearing, and while she’s undeniably suspicious, it feels too obvious for her to be the killer — especially the idea that she may have killed Kang Woo-seong thinking it was Ra-ik. There are simply too many possible suspects at this stage: the prosecutor’s boss with his “this case is wrapped in a bow for you” attitude, the stalker ex who likely plays a role in Ra-ik’s heavy medication, the bandmates who are quick to throw him under the bus, the violent manager, and of course, the ever-shady CEO.It’s far too early to call it — and that’s exactly what makes this episode so compelling.At this point, it feels like the drama is intentionally overwhelming us with suspects, which makes me think the real truth will come from something much quieter and more personal.
