Episode 16 sheds more light on what happened to Duna.
So Duna was in Korea when the accident happened. She briefly met Hana and then was about to find her mom (chairwoman Shin) when she was hit by the hit-and-run accident. It seems that Se Yeong's mom killed her in the accident to prevent Duna/YuJin from meeting her mom. So evil.
So apparently Duna's adoptive parents and husband (if any) were not around at the time of Duna's death. The question is, where are they? Are they still in the US? Did they cut ties with Duna when she went to Korea to find her biological mom?
I really hate Ji Seok. The way he thinks that his sister Hana is getting in his way, and even tells Jin Goo not to trust her when he specifically asks Ji Seok to vindicate her.
It's heartwarming to see that Chairman Shim finally meets Eun Chong, her grandson, at the shopping mall.
Eun Chong is adorable. He is one reason why I continue watching the show. So far he's the most likeable character in the drama, followed by Jin Goo, Hana and perhaps Ji Chang (Hana's youngest brother).
I already can predict where the plot will be heading:
- Gong Boo's ex will come to him with his child (after confirming the DNA test, I guess), affecting Gong Boo and Hong Dan's marriage, and perhaps the baby. In the end, Gong Boo will need to raise two kids, lol. - Gong Hee is pregnant with Min Gi's child, which will affect Min Gi's relationship with Ji Na. - The evil grandmother will find that Min Gi is Ji Na's other man, and will also try to destroy their marriage plan. - I'm not too sure about Audrey and her relationship with her son (Dansu), will she tell him the truth? - And I am not too sure what will happen to Dansu and Gong Hee's relationship if she's pregnant with Min Gi's child.
We are almost halfway and the story gets so complicated. :)
Yeah, some of the acting here is not first class . The guy that pays TU also seems to be inexperienced. He literally…
I think she meant the guy who plays Tae Woong. Which is Choi Tae Joon, Park Shin Hye's husband. I think he's quite good, on par with Kim Jung Hyun's acting.
The acting that I can see a bit lacking is Geum Sae Rok, the FL who plays Darim. But it may not be her fault, it may be due to how the Darim's character was written.
Ok, so Taeri is not Sang-ah and So-woo's biological son. He might be adopted since Sang-ah is infertile. No wonder Sang-ah doesn't show any maternity love at all to him.
We can only see the back of his face, but the side can be seen a bit. It seems that Richard Han is Yujin's dad and chairwoman Shin's husband. The question is, why does he want to destroy his wife's company by engaging Ji-Seok? I don't understand.
Episode 15 gives more hints about what happened to Yujin/Duna, she was (presumably) dead due to a car accident when Eun-Chong was still one year old. It seems that the car accident might have been caused by, or may have had some involvement with Se Yeong and her mom. Another question: could Se Yeong (or her mom) have found out then that Duna is Yujin, and tried to get rid of her?
More info was revealed, but it brings up more questions!
She is not.Chairman Shim's real daughter is Yujin/Duna, Eunchong's mom, Hana's best friend. Eunchong is now being…
this is what i understand:
hana: - lost parents when she was young (the parents are unknown) - went to the orphanage - got adopted by the mean family with abusive mom, who treated hana as a maid instead of a daughter. - the abusive mom got caught in the abuse act (with the help from jin goo at the hospital. jin goo and hana had some encounters at the hospital when they were young, jin goo was having some kind of heart surgery. - hana was sent back to orphanage - became best friend with yujin/duna at the orphanage - still keep in touch with duna even though she was adopted and moved to the US
yujin: - chairman shin's daughter. se yeong's cousin. - her father (chairman shin's husband) took her and se yeong to an island (presumably for holiday). - yujin went missing at the port while playing with se yeong and yujin's dad was buying the boat tickets. she was unconscious in a basement of a boat, and the boat departed. se yeong lied to yujin's dad saying that she didn't see her. - yujin woke up finding herself in a boat sailing somewhere with the boatman. - the boat was caught by storm, and presumably capsized or sunk. the boatman died, but yujin's body was never found. - yujin miraculously survived, suferring from amnesia, misidentified and sent to the orphanage. - yujin met hana at the orphanage. she took the name duna and becoming best friends with hana. - yujin got adopted, the family moved to the US. hana still kept in touch with yujin even after she moved to the US.
during the time-skip (off screen):
- yujin had a son (eunchong). not too sure if she was married or not, and not too sure who was the father. - yujin and the family, including eunchong, involved in a car accident. only eunchong survived, yujin and her adopted family were presumably dead. - eunchong became an orphan, and hana took him and raised him.
that surprised me as well to be honest, it’s also a bit weird that his own blood-related siblings also works…
It's a different company (albeit a subsidiary, same group). Ji-eun (Ji-seok's biological younger sister) works in Hyesung Hotel, while Hana works in Hyesung Tour. Ji-seok wants to destroy Hyesung Tour first.
I left on episode 3, y'all still hanging in there?
Yes we are still hanging in here. :)
You left when the lead characters were still children. It's getting better when they are adults (episode 5-6 onwards), although the child actors are really awesome.
if hana is her real daughter [ chairman ] ... this will make a great difference in the drama !!! , or she is not…
She is not.
Chairman Shim's real daughter is Yujin/Duna, Eunchong's mom, Hana's best friend. Eunchong is now being raised by Hana after Yujin/Duna has (supposedly) passed away.
Eunchong is Chairman Shim's biological grandson but both of them are not related to Hana by blood.
Unless if there are further plot twists that I do not know of.
It's been implied that she passed away, a lot of things happen behind the scene for her character idk why
In addition:
In the last episode 14, there is a photo of adult Duna/Yujin and adult Hana together. So they kept in touch until they are adults even though Duna lived in the US. They might be best friends, and when there's something happened to Duna and her family, it makes sense that Hana took the initative to take Eunchong and raised him.
I suspect Duna, her adoptive parents and Eunchong might have been involved in a car accident (as per the synopsis), and only Eunchong survived.

Eun Chong is Duna's daughter, so he is Chairman Shin's biological grandson.
You might want to re-watch episodes 1-5 to understand more about their background.

Special congratulations to Yuna who won the Best Youth Actress Award for her performance as Jae-hui. It's her third award after APAN and Baeksang.
Poor Taeri.
