True, but Ji Yeon knew what was aeaiting her if the people were to find out and she multiple times saod she is fine with that as long as she gets her money back. What I do not understand here is why Taewoong and Seung Dong are being harrest to...none of them knew anything about the money. They were clueless untill the very end...well Sungdong knew but found out only after they were stolen and payd 13 milion to charity to make up for Ji Yeon's mistake of loesong them...because truth be told if she had not taken out the money from the safe earlyer the driver wpuld have NEVER saw the safe and never stolen the money in the first place. She did not deserved the tomatos in the end that is true because comparable to the crime the others did meaning stealing and covering for stealing. At this point half of the cast shluld be under arrest. But then again their are also not some soulless criminals. They were just desperate people in a desperate situation. And they though the owner was dead. And in fact since the fat men is dead if they had not stolen the money there is a chance Ji Yeon might have never got them back.

Done
😁

Not necesarly. Gangju specificaly took the rest of the cash from his grandfather's friend to make sure they all have the same series and they look like new.

I think Eun Ho might actually have a suspicion about it....I mean there was a fleshback with him on his free day while wandering in the city and he saw the portrait of Jae Eon (the wanted poster) and then they when they all saw her dressed as a women he remembered the image. But he is not sure yet. I mean...he has not seen underneath her chlotes yet....

I always and my week with them as the reason for my tahicardia. This show might be full of stupid people and seem poor written and law bugeted but it is actually a piece of gold. It has you glood to the screen. It is actually more adictive then a drug. And we have to admit that the acting is top notch. Otherwise we wouldn't argue over characters behavior and arcs....and we would not be so pissed of with some character or another. Actually I think it was preatty hard to write this master piece. Like writernim had to think how to build every character more stupid then the other and then try to give each of them a grouth be it controversial or not.

Agreed

It was defenetly not a patroule car. As for the recording in South Korea there is a law that obligates every citizen riding a car to have a camera on board. It is rudimentary in case of an incident ocurring near the car or to the car. So yeah police car or not it has a functional camera on. Plus as far as I remember she has nothing on camera since the camera was not working when Mu Rim talked to his mother inside the car. She was frustrated that the recording stopped right at the interesting moment. That is why she started suspecting them....fine, perhaps I am being to harsh on her for no reason....she is only doing her job and I am miss paranoid. I will wait until the end of the series to see what is really her true face.

But she did say she could get promoted for that....on his work. And legally or not....at least morally speaking she is also a member of the family and she should also not get involved. Or at least she shouldn't be so harsh with Bong Hwi knowing on what did she spend the money. Well at least she payed for halmonies hospital bills before taking Bong Hwi away. And yes the trio are theifs and were very bad with Gangju. As for Da Rim....she suffered more like because of her condition. But it is true that it was her that initially said they should cut off ties. But I feel like Da Rim was never in love with Tae Woong....she just pulled tantrums over him because during the 8 years in which Gangju was missing, it was Tae Woong the one that helped the family with the laundry shop. I think it was something natural. To have a small crush on the only men around you which is not your brother and which could accept her even as blind. Or at least that is what i think it was on her mind. When she got back her eyesite the first thing she did was creep over Taewoongs face. I think she expected Taewoong to look more like Gangju....or at least his eyes since the eyes were the only thing Da Rim remembered from Gangju. And she had such a dissapointed face at the beginning. It took her a wile to process the real face of Tae Woong. And then in order to not give in to Gangju so easel;y again she kind of tryed to convince herself that Taewoong is the one by pulling tantrums. But she was constantely worried for Gangju even without realising. So in my oppinion I do not feel like her sudden change of hart was that rushed. On the contrary....it was delayed too much till the point it was ridicoulous.

It was not a police car. It was Mu Rim's car. For a personal car you need a warrant to check it inside.

Before she got divorced I remember clearly how she kiked Gangju from the house in a last attempt of not loesing her husband. The next day she saw Gangju suffering for his dad and she had a change of heart and got divorced instead. But she did kiked him out of the house. And she did EVADE TAXES. And she is the only guilty for her money being stolen in the first place. Had she not taken them out before the 15 years passed the driver would have never saw the safe in the first place. To be frank all she did the entire series was to scream and yell about her money and her son. Yet after she got divorced she sold her hose to her husbad and went into a hotel all alone. And even if Gangju came later at the hotel she made him sleep on the couch insted of giving him a proper bad. And she was for sure not short on money. Gangju is not a loeser nor a betrayer. He really tryed to do the best for all of them. And it is not about Da Rim's family that might hate him for nothng....his test was Da Rim itself. Have you forgotten that he was a jerk that never called her back for 8 years after sleeping with her? Da Rim's Taewoong face was natural. Like she would have been dumber if she had trusted Gangju so slowley. I feel she felt in love with him during the right moment....when he prooved he is not the jerk she thought with more then plain words. In this story everybody has its fault. For Gangju helping Da Rim's family was the right thing to do. I do not like Bong Hwi attitude eather. Let alone her situationship with Seungdon...but at the end of the day she was a desperate mother. She humiliated herself and asked everybody for money to save Da Rim while they still could....and nobody wanted to help her. Ofc she took the money when she found them. And now that the debt has been payed off and Ju Yeon has her money back they should all cool off. And she will have the money back eventually since the tax evasion period expired. Probably she did not recieved them imediately because they are part of an investigation.

I know ...legalt they are not married....but they have been in a relationship for a long time and they even said they were trying for a baby so at this point the mother in law should have considered them family and try to understand why would they do such a thing. Ofc Mu Rim felt guilty and postponed the registration of the marriage....it is only natural. Knowing how desperate Bong Hwi was to save Da Rim and halmonie and to offer Mu Rim a proper wedding she should not have been that harsh with her. I get that she is doing her job but still....she should consider her daughter's feelings for Mu Rim and his family. Plus she arrested Bong Whi without a warrant. She might have had proofs but she just abused her power and arrested her in the middle of the hospital leaving the elders alone. Well almost alone....finally Mi Yeon behaved like a daughter. The fact that Bong Hwi was caucht on act does not mean anything....she could just say that that money was from some client of hers at the laundry shop.... in order to arrest somebody you need a warrant based on proofs or at least a proper proof of the act to my knowledge.

Probably. It just felt stupid that when haraboji first saw the money gone he almost had a heart attack. And Da Rim could not bring herself to talk with them about the money. Yet when Gangju came in his characteristic style and planted the bomb they had absolutely no problem. Then why even bother to dig that money up and down to "save their lifes" if they are actually in a perfect functional state of health?

Thoughts on episodes 29-30:
I kept saying that I would feel extremly bad for Ji Yeon If at the end she wouldn't get at least her monet back. She ended her marriage which she cared about a lot to Bong Hwi , she lost her inheritance to Bong Hwi and now her son to Bong Hwi's daughter. However Gangju has never betrayed his mother. He worked hard to make up the money. And he was trying to help her not get judged by people for not annuncing her inheritence. And for loesing it this stupiddly. And for TAX EVASION. He had to change his plans last minute because he wanted to help everybody out of this stupid situation. I am reading here that some of you started to call him betrayer. But do not forget that the first person who throwed him from the house was his own mother on her last attempt of not loesing Seung Dong. Then of course she gave up and wanted her son back as a good mother she "is". The only thing she cared about the entire show was her money. I get that It was her inheritence but it was also HER FAULT that the money got stolen in the first place. Had she not opened the safe for secretly buying idk what the driver wouldn't have never saw it. But in a world in which everybody around her suffered a lot she couldn' care less. I get that she is not responsable for them and that she was never asked for money but she would have never given her money anyway. Gangju tryed to beg her in every possible way not to go to the police and she never ever wondered why.? Why would Gangju humiliate himself even in front of her? If she cared for her son just a tiny bit she would asked him why insted of slaping him....she would have listened to him....

As for Gangju's last resort of plan....the boy is delusional at this point. The money already circulated and where found by Mu Rim's mother in law. At least he was smart enough to ask for bills from his grandfather's friend. They might actually be labeled with the AA series too.... cause If not then that is also a problem.

I can't with those grannys....they hated Gangju and spitted on him almost slaped him....and now when Gangju came to the rescue they suddenly are not affraid of anything, they are not having heart attacks....they just casually help him out as if they were always best buddies. Their only reaction was "You scumbag how did you knew?" and then "What are you waiting for....gaja(let's go)".... like how? 😂

Also the character that is now the top of my most hated onces is Mu Rim's mother in law. I know I know....you are going to say she is only doing her job. But let me take you a little back in the story to explain how a HIPOCRITE she is. First things first, right before the wedding when Mu Rim insisted to tale the case of the money she wouldn't give a damn on it. She looked down on Mu Rim multiple times because of that saying he needs to take more serious cases in order to ascend in his career and be able to provide for Suji. (What a thoughtfull mother.) . She only started to care of the case after she found out it was worth 10 million dollars. Cause she said even she could get a promotion for that. And that was like at the end of the investigation. All the case was investigated by Mu Rim (at an exagerated slow speed) togheter with Su Ji and Hyeong Cheol. Up until this point I would just say she is a mother that cares for her daughter and a good not corrupted officer. BUT....the HIPOCRICY continues....when she arrested Bong Hwi she took Mu Rim's case from his hands saying that if family is involved he cannot be in. Hmhm....she is his morher in law so also a family member that should not mingle with the case then. Aaaah....she bragged about her and the police searching for the money with radars and alll....such a joke....all she did was stareing at the loan sharks doing the dark job. Perhaps they did check up afterwards I do not say now....but she is too brazen. She could twin Ji Yeon with a little practice. I sware.... even Bong Hwi did stole the money she should have listened to her first. The way she was screaming in the investigation room at Bong Hwi made me sick. She might be the boss that has to set an example but also am I the only one that remembers when Bong Hwi bagged for money at the beggining? She wanted to help...and then Mu Rim sttoped her from doing so....couldn't she think back at that moment and wonder why would Bong Hwi need to take the money? She KNEW Da Rim was against clock with that eye surgery , she knew halmonie had cancer yet she screamed at Bong Hwi as If she was the worst of the criminals. If this is what a mother in law is like then I am thankfull I do not have one...yet. Couldn't she add up 2 plus 2? They took that money because they were desperate. They were wrong to dig up that money but they are not some criminals. Theifs at best. I do not like them eather. But this character....I would have not expected that from her.... perhaps I am overreacting....perhaps not....idk....

I love the new Cha Rim but I wish she has said NO to Tae Woong because he really did nothing to proofe he deserves her. Even his excuse for not giving her money was pathetic. "If mom, or Da Rim, or halmonie and haraboji would have asked me for money I would have lended them some but not too you cause you are the women I love". Grose....with more reason If she is the women he so much loves he should have helped her. He should not have slaped Mu Rim like he did. Mu Rim only thought about the best legal way for not harming the entire family. He also feels guilty for not landing her mother the money she was bagging for at the beggining....at least Mu Rim thought of someting. Taewoong refused to help and just played happy house and cupid with his dad.

I do not even hate Seung Dong at this point. But he and Bongwhi are cringe as hell. Why did he told her they are just FRIENDS? He friendzoned her, then he said he would take her in a well deserved vacation, then he came to the police station only to scream like his old wife and make a fuss of her being innocent. An when he understood the situation he called Ji Yeon "Yeobo" probably out of habbit and then went with her to take the money.....like he is a total lost cause....

Mi Yeon grew a spine and returned the money to Gangju insted of running with them. So she understood the situation. Unfortunately too late to save her love story. She was way too harsh and out of her place with Gi Dong.

Bong Hwi was insufferable again with Gangju....and yet he bought her a lawyer and dugged the money back....again. She said that all men should be like Tae Woong. But I hope she realises that Gangju is a piece of gold that it is not to be lost or thrown away. And I also hope she understand she went to far by trying to replace Gangju with Taewoong in his own house. She should have told Seung Dong to love both his boys the same. They are not to be blamed for everything. But what can we expect from a women that clearly did not gave the same attention to all her kids.

And Darim'a.....for crying out loud , somebody make her stop crying out of anything....everything happened because of her but now it is all over. Gangju probably saved them again and lost his mother's trust in the procees. Now she should focus on helping him getting his family back instead of crying. She is eye tiering when she cries....
Also, I adore her new haircut. They should have made her look like this from the very first beginning. The bangs look awfull on her. She looks good with short or large hair but not with those damn bangs.

6 more episodes to go....I sware the past 10 episodes have moved on so fast that it is hard to believe that it is almost THE END.

I hope that after everything that happened everybody learned its lesson. Especially the 3 theifs. I hope they will say sorry to Gangju. Like from the bottom of their heart.

And I hope you guys stop judgeing Gangju for loveing Da Rim's family as his own. At the end he had to make up for his mistake of never calling her back as he promissed. He had to man up and pull up the fight until the end. They do not deserve him, but he felt like he did not deserve them too...Da Rim suffered for 8 years because of him. What he did now was just to make up for....with more then just plain words. I hope he and his mother will have a long talk (full of screams as they usually do) and settle everything down. He needs to tell his mother the whole story....from him being a jerk till him becoming the hope and the hero of everybody. And if Ji Yeon really cares about his son more then that money she should give him the blessing of building his own family with his beloved one. And I hope Ji Yeon finds real hapinnes. Perhaps a true man to spend that bunch of money with. Who am I even kidding....she is going to travel the world alone with that money and probably take a bath in them in the end. 🤣 Oh....my best happy ending would be Ji Yeon and Bong Hwi spending that money togheter in a long vacantion while cursig from afar Seung Dong ssi. I still remember the good chemestry and interesting vibe the too of them had In the 1'rst episode. That would be a really funny plot twist.

He was also in the top 10 actors in The King Actor pf the year. 10'th place to be specific.

I saw that on KBS he is nominated for Daesang and for Popularity award. Both against the male lead of Beauty and Mr romantic amoung others. Also at the popularity contest i believe his biggest rival is Kim Myeong Soo (that was also on the top 10 The King awards but on 3'rd and 2'nd position. ). Myeong Soo is anotherone of my favorites... but I so wosh for both of them to recieve a price.

All the nominees were asked about their chances of winning and Jung Hyun said "Very low as weekend dramas are faceing a dark leriod now...I do not think I am going to win Daesang this year but IF I attend the ceremony I might recieve popularity awarad or Best Male Actor for long series...".

For Daesang was nominated also the actres that plays Bong Hwi and she said the same...no chances for Daesang but meaby Best Actress in a suporting role in a large drama.

And Geum Sae Rok was nominated for popularity female category....which is wow. Now that I think about it we kind of made her popular by always discussing and desaproving her Tae Woong era. When people are gossiping about you as an actor it might actually be a sign that you did your job well.

Thoughts on ep 27-28
I am with a huge tahicardia now. I loved this 2 episodes. Cha Rim found out about the money and she didn't took any of them. She resigned the Jiseung company and her huge position to work with Gangju and Da Rim to save the family. And she and Da Rim caught aunt Mi Yeon on act while stealing.

I knew the money she stole before was not going to stay in that locker for any longer. Now it is all gone. Not spent on stupidities but huh...stolen again.

I mean If one thing is clear, the main characters in the show are the pile of money. To think all they have been throygh....and all because people loese their mind when they see a lot of money...

I also loved the fact that we FINALLY have some romantic scenes with DR and GJ... It was about time. Am I the only one that does not feel it is rushed? It has been delayed to much. From the beginning it was clear that the Taewoong face was just a tantrum of Da Rim's. I mean...she would have been the most absurd and manipulative FL in history If she had turned a blind eye twords everything Gangju did for her family.

Poor them...they are trying to save the family. But Mi Yeon is even dumber then Ji Yeon...and that says something about her... she never thought where that money might come from...she just took it without her parents consent. After she found out that the money was stolen she kept pulling tantrums that that was her money, her dream and her love. Well deserved the face at the end when she saw that the money was gone. Plus how the heck did she locked up money in a locker where it clearly sais that NO MONEY should be stored there. She might have spent some, or made a deposit to the bank and that is even more dangerous....

Ad Ju Yeon....now she belives Ganju stoled the money to give it to Da Rim. As usual no need for the ML to take the blame...his is just getting blamed and attacked for nothing.

Do not even get me started on Tae Woong and his father....Yes Cha Rim might be in love with money but she almost bagged TW for help. She could't tell him the whole story because that would mean one more complice to go...but he did not even asked. He played victim and called himself a human ATM. Which is not justified since he never gaved that family a single dime out of fear of being trwoned away. I remembered that Bong Hwi also wanted to ask him for money for Da Rim's surgery but couldn't because she thought he was more penniles then them.... I know that he would have helped somehow if he had known....but still....and even for the wedding he gave money in secret then admitted. And that money has also been stolen by Mi Yeon and lost in style by Mi Yeon...what did Tae Woong do until now? Playing cupid for his father....a very indecesive one....one day he said "Aboji If you wsh can we keep Ji Yeon to live with us? She seems fun...like there is life in the house" And the next day he was like "Do you like Bong Hwi mom? You should date her then...". Like come on...

And he wants to let Cha Rim leave and loese a lot of money of the company? Shish....

Suji eomoni....the big boss of Mu Rim....she is onto the family and will for sure held Mu Rim acountable for everything...

I really hope Kim Jung Hyun will get a price this years at KBS Awards for Seo Gang Ju....he really worked extremly hard surounded by great cast that portrated more lunatics without brains then I can count with both my hands.

I wish I could give that pile of money a price too....for getting everybody creazy. Have I mentioned I have tahicardia? 😂

I watched it on YouTube

Thoughts on ep 25-26
This weeks episodes have been the writernim's attempt to make us feel pitty for some of the characters.
First Taewoong looked like a happy kid when he got to call Seung Dong "Aboji". But then he got me killed of laughter when he said "Daddy let's have creazy Jiyeon live with us. She seems fun and it makes you feel like the house is full" (with screams meaby....). And he looked so serious.... and then he did not got kiked out because he told his new mumzie that his brother is hiding in his old unit because he wanted to swap places. Wanted is a little bit to much though.
The image ius hilarious. Seunfdong, Jiyeon,Taewoong and Ganju sitting at the same table like a normal happy family. I felt sad for Taewoong for a secound. But then a flashback came into my mind. When Seungdong shouted at him that the fact that he has his blood does not change a thing.
I do not think Taewoong is vandgefull at all. He even asked Gangju if it was ok to take his spot like that because he does not wnat to feel like he stole somethng. Ofc Gangju said yes its fine even if he did not ment that. He has no power against his father.

Secound....Mi Yeon and the grand parents....even though they treated their daughter like trash they really seem to care about her enough to not get mad for her stealing money. They even thoiught of not telling her where the money came from so that she wont be appointed as a complice. And she was so genuinely happy when she though she can finally take her son back from that scumbag of father of his. Even the kid was so happy when he heared his mothers wants to take him back. I mean Mi Yeon is not bad....it is just cronically stupid like all the other family members. About her relationship with the restaurant owner....idk....I believe she should not have asked him to leave with her and leave Beom behind....

Third....Bong Hwi....she got what she desreved....pure rejection from Seungdong. Honestly Seungdong has more chemestry with Jiyeon then with her. The meet at the hotel made me cringe so bad....but when she found out she was not there because he wants to hook up with her but because he wanted to know more about his son....I laughed so hard.... but I also got sad when Mu Rim discovered her. Yes they were greedy....and they behaved like trash twards Gangju and his family....but then again I got some flashbacks from the very first part of this show where she desperately tried and bagged everybody for money for Da Rim's surgery. Nobody wanted to help her back then and she was just a desperate mother. However although I pitty her now, I am still not convinced to fully like her. I also have other flashbacks with her that still make me angry. The way they humiliated Gangju for nothing multiple times still leaves in my head. It was Gangju that ended up with a stinky kimchi box on his head screaming out loud cause he couldn't take them any longer. It was Gangju that had to kneel in fron of them to protect Da Rim. And it was Gangju the one that turned into their complice by returning the money. As Da Rim said....Ganju is hope...yet they spitted on him, called him names that even they deserve...at the end of the day they are still theifs....

And for....Seungdon....he looked so genuinely happy to fight with his ex wife again...liked he missed her...however they way they both threated eachother really makes me wonder If a reconciliation would be possible or not. And he also looked so happy when Taewoong finally called him daddy....I wanted to get mad at him but I simply couldn't.

Conclusion....writernim, how have you not lost your own damn mind while writing this?

Everything is absurd and stupid, and sad and comic at the same time. I wish I could quit the drama but I found myself adicted to it and as It seems I am letting myself fooled by the writernim.... jizz....

And poor Mu Rim. His wife and mother in law want to take credit for the investigation he started when at the beginning the mother in law insisted that this case was not worth much. Plus now thathe knows that his family is involved he just feels terribly guilty. And Hongcheol is also gone so no pretty face to make me distress and to help Mu Rim not to loese it... (Hongcheol is the partner of Suji...Mu Rim's wife...or was but eventually was paired with Mu Rim after the wedding...).

Still Ganju thanked him because thanks to Taewoong buying so many clothes he can now sell live as people started to hear about that. Interesting kind of brotherhood.

It was not a murder....it was a stupid big fat accident in a fight....

Tae Woong is the highschool bigwig....he bought the first clothes but idk if to help or to disturb. And I believe he might be buying this ones too...they sell way to quick for anothe explanation....
