I wish they'd drop this nostalgia plot line already. It was a dead end from the very beginning, now it just feels like they're beating a dead horse. Just say that you know who she is, stop dancing around the issue, or you'll end up like indecisive Park Jin. Come to think of it, Yul already is the best candidate for being Park Jin successor - like a younger carbon copy, lol.
And Mu-Deok can just drop it already too, he doesn't believe her lies either.

I don't since the first episode, lol.

That whole ML being born to fight the chaos gives another Star Wars vibe - he's like Anakin Skywaker. Let's hope he won't turn to the dark side.

I've noticed this drama tends to have plot given to us in chunks consisting of several episodes. Calm beginning with character development, tensions rising and explosive resolution with antagonists and then calm before the storm again. Culmination episodes are especially fast paced and full of plot progress. So overall this drama has uneven pacing. But with so many episodes to go lots of things can still happen.

How many old timers got new bodies through soul shifting, jeez. Can't trust anyone now. Evil guys slogan be like: "Immortality for the elite!", lol. Also, they want to soul shift Jin clan's mother it seems.

Also, Bu-Yeon being unborn for 13 months without miscarriage is on the same level of ridiculousness as ML's birth. And does she even have a soul after being born with the help of the Ice Stone? Or she still has it? Or is it someone's else's soul? FL's body continues to be the biggest mystery.

Jin father has a different face.

He was shown, but the masked guy had a different face.

He didn't look like Jin father at all.

Who's the masked guy revealed in Cheonbugwan? He seemed important?

No, she wants Hanbada to be number 1 law firm. So she hired FL to expose who her mother is and ruin Taesan's reputation and TSM's chances of becoming a minister.

Is it Saturday yet? I need a dose of AoS...

First, women in SK don’t take husbands surnames. Only their children do. We don’t know her husband’s surname. Second, she may indeed have married to a man with a child. So ML being her step son theory has not been debunked yet. But I really hope he has no relation to her, it still gonna give wrong vibes. Also, ML doesn’t fit the profile she has given her son, so this theory is just a hunch from watching too many kdramas.

Some commenters here are sympathizing with her though, so it worked on part of the audience.

Yea, ditching her political career plans for her daughter would make it up somewhat. But still not enough I think. We've seen how difficult it was for FL's dad to raise her, how he was struggling, how they lacked money because he sacrificed his career for FL's mom. She could have made it so much easier for them. Simply regretting it now just not gonna cut it, imho.

I'm struggling to find any justification for FL's mom. Sure, when she was young she may have been pressured to by her chaebol family to get rid of the child because of planned wedding to some rich guy/FL's father being unfitting husband material/career/etc. But after all this time, after she became her own successful and independent woman living a good life she never did once make any inquiries about her daughter, she wasn't interested in her existence at all. And now that she's learned she has a daughter they try to make the audience sympathize with her. So far I'm not buying it, sorry. But props to FL for handling it very maturely, I sympathize only with her in this situation.

I think they will make up and become all chummy with each other by the end of the show, but I wanna see FL's mom making big efforts to come back inside FL's life, not just "here I am now, let's be family because you always wanted a mom".

Also, I'm getting kinda annoyed how perfect ML is, there are no such guys irl. And I don't like flawless characters. I'm waiting for some flaw or some backstory to be revealed about him.

Yea, that looked like it hurt actually. Sometimes there are real accidents when filming a scene. Like, for example, in another ongoing drama - Alchemy of Souls, FL was supposed to fall from a small cliff into the arms of another character, and she actually irl slipped and fell, good thing that other actor caught her.

She didn't. She said he's still finding himself and doesn't want to follow in her footsteps (meaning he's not a lawyer), and spends most of his time on the computer. That's it.

He just wants to oust her to increase his chances of getting a permanent position at the law firm. And he can't use the merit card because she's better than him in results, and was better than him at the university with her grad and bar exam scores being exceptional. And instead of trying to show some good results too he chooses to resort to despicable tricks.

It's hard to say with kids, especially Korean ones, they're even tinier. Hence I put a ~ sign. She didn't look more than 10 though, but definitely more than 4-5.

Min Woo clearly mentioned FL directly or mentioned a person with disability - judging by the preview the rumor mill has started at the law firm.
