Just finished season 1 and although I'm late to the show, I'd like to start some theories on Season 2!

1. Jinman is indeed alive like ep 8 shows, but he won't last long. The season will focus on him making Jian into someone tough enough to lead the business. And then, he'll take out her main enemies for her and die.

2.  Bale will be killed by Jinman finally. 

3.  Romance between Jinman and Minhye will bloom-- although since it's not the main genre it will likely just be insinuated.

Any other theories??
