I agree with everything. Only thing is it’s not without remorse and she was not the one who did it but her lady…
100% agree with this. She has been pretty brash in her actions but as you said, there’s always a reason for it (though it may not appear that way from the outside). This is why I reasoned ML thinks she’s the cause of the incident from 5 years ago because of her general demeanour and ways of getting things done. He doesn’t know that she was set up to take the fall and he’s slowly starting to learn that she’s not as she appears on the outside.

To clarify: When I say without remorse. I mean the usual way she kinda steam rolls over everyone to achieve her goal but yeah, she was not responsible for the incident 5 years ago. I think she was set up to take the fall by the female director, as mentioned in point #3 but that Eun Ho thinks she’s the one responsible, as mentioned in point #1.
I had a theory last week but I want to add to my theory that the ML is not as clueless about the situation as he’s letting on. It’s flying under the radar but one of the conditions he had for working with that director was for information on Na Eun. That’s suspicious. Also the timing of them switching bodies again is double suspicious.
So here’s my theory: I think three separate things are happening which have become connected because they all have Na Eun at the centre of them.
#1 - I think Na Eun did something without remorse (like she usually does) that unknowingly had a huge negative knock-on effect on Eun Ho, that temple girl and her family or their community. I believe Eun Ho and the temple girl came up with the plan to do a ritual for him and Na Eun to switch bodies so he could find out the information he needs and I think this has to do with the incident from 5 years ago. I predict that the temple girl is also responsible for the black shadow that’s trying to suffocate Na Eun. Eun Ho may or may not know this.
#2 - I think Jung Woo is the person responsible for almost killing Na Eun. I don’t think this was on purpose (i.e. I don’t think he went there that night to kill her). I think he either got mad at her in the moment and pushed her or she saw him in the mask, got scared and tried to fight back which resulted in him pushing her. I think he was sent there on orders from above. Maybe he was even told to scare Na Eun.
#3 - I believe the female mentor/director is the mastermind behind everything. I think she has some big plan or grand scheme to take full control of the company. She strikes me as a hugely ambitious person. And unfortunately Na Eun had become collateral damage in her plotting, starting from 5 years ago when Na Eun was made to take the fall for that incident. I think it’s the same incident that had some kind of negative outcome for Eun Ho and that temple girl and he is at the company to uncover the truth but he thinks Na Eun really was the one responsible. I think the female director also sent Jung Woo to scare Na Eun that night she almost died because from the last couple of episodes we see that Na Eun has been trying to find out what really happened 5 years ago. All this time she still hasn’t let it go. She’s been trying to find out the truth. I think the female director thought she could scare Na Eun and tarnish her reputation with that animal testing scandal (with rabbit guy helping the female mentor in this plot) and she hoped this would stop Na Eun from searching and finding answers about the incident 5 years ago.
And that is how these three things tie in together, because they’re all centred around Na Eun and the incident from 5 years ago.
Commenting to see if anyone else is perceiving the show in the same way or if its just me:
So, this show is coming across really weird for me because the story/premise is really, really interesting but it’s playing out in a dis-engaging way. I watch each episode and whenever something juicy or interesting is revealed and is about to play out, it immediately falls flats. It’s even worse going from the intrigue of a new revelation as a cliffhanger towards the end of one episode, to that revelation immediately losing its intrigue in the next episode. I think this might be because the leads aren’t able to carry this series (especially the FL) and this is not something I say lightly. I can’t remember the last time I watched the leads of a show who either got swallowed up in the show or who faded into the background even when they’re the only ones in the scene. I find the scenes with the ex husband and his mother the most compelling and I can get into it somewhat when the side characters or the ML are on the screen but it completely loses me every other scene (especially FL only and FL + ML scenes). As I said, it’s really weird and unexpected and I can’t quite wrap my brain around it.
It wasn't clear. I assumed that he, the boyfriend, had an affair, or has some issues - but that doesn't explain…
This scene confused me too. At first I thought he had harmed himself due to the SML getting married, as the scene was really quick and I hadn’t really noticed where the bruising/injuries were. Now I’ve had some time to go over the scene in my head, I recall that he had bruising on his head. This could have been self inflicted as the place was trashed but he also had bruising on his body. Maybe someone did it to him. I also thought it was self inflicted because SML ran away after seeing him that way. I wonder, wouldn’t he have helped if someone had beaten him up? 🤔 I’m hoping they’ll elaborate on that scene instead of never mentioning it again.

It's 2024 already like please can you stop being trapped in whatever timeline you are in now? I thought we already…
3rd they can share their opinion on your opinion. Which is what most people are doing and are freely in their right to do so. If you wanted to shout into an echo chamber, you probably should have stuck your head into a bowl and shared your thoughts there. 🙄
I don't remember it being shown that ML is not from the same mother?!?? But in ep. 2 it was told by his assistant…
I was wondering this too but then thought it would be out of character for grandpa to think this. Then again, it’s only been 2 eps. Grandpa’s character hasn’t fully fleshed out yet.
It's extremely disgusting for me that homosexuality is forced into all K-dramas now as a principle that is supposed…
lol at the people who think just because something is traditional or because it’s the way it’s always been means it’s something worthy of upholding. Paedophilia was (and still is) traditional in some cultures, public hangings, the oppression of women, child labour, child marriages, genital mutilation, honour killings etc. were all ‘traditional’ and the status quo at one point but thankfully we left that in the past (in most places); as we should with homophobia. Your comfort does not supersede someone else’s right to a decent and safe life.
Does anyone know why the grandfather says that the younger brother can’t be his heir but the older brother can? I’m not sure if they discussed this before. I don’t know why there’s a distinction being made between the two. Is it because he’s as ambitious/plotting as his other half siblings?
Do you suspect her former lady boss? I am beginning to suspect her
Same. I think she’s cooking up something big. Maybe a play to take over the company and that Na Eon’s ‘attempted murder’ is unrelated and was in fact an accident by Jung Woo.
I agree that it’s very likely he’s part of it but I don’t think he’s the only one. I think he’s working with that female board member who Na Eon looks up to and I think Jung Woo is the one who tried to kill FL, although I don’t think he meant to do it.
I knew the kissing was not going to happen lol. For the rest everything was cool. I'm getting fond of the underdog…
I cannot shake the feeling that he is the one who tried to kill her (accidentally) and that he’s the name Yoo Mi is protecting/not revealing because she’s in love with him. Above him I think is the rabbit guy client from the first episode and he’s working with the female board member/ mentor to Na Eon for something big that we don’t see the big picture for yet.
