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.
I am at episode 13 now. My tears fall seeing Dora come to Pil Seung's house, and kneel down in front of Pil Seung's mom, to apologise on behalf of her mom for causing the death of her father (Pil Seung's grandfather).
It's not Dora's fault actually, it's her mom's fault. Dora didn't deserve this. Pil Seung didn't deserve this.
Anyway, I agree with @Knoob that this drama is so toxic. There are more bad people than the good people. The only good and lovable people in this drama are Pil Seung, Dora, Mari, and maybe Mari's dad (the APP group chairman).
The rest are really toxic people. Dora's mom, Pil Seung's grandmother, Mari's grand-aunt, Ae Kyo and his son Jin Dan, among others.
Pil Seung's mom and Mari's mom (Pil Seung's biological mom) are OK, but it's very hard to like them. Both of them are just unlikeable characters. Same with Pil Seung's aunt and Dora's brother who had an "accident" relationship, it's very hard to root for them.
she thinks his husband doesn't know about her real father.
Yes but eventually she knows and her husband moved her father to another (better) nursing home. But yet at the new facility, she still talks to her father.
I understand that Hee-Joo is pretending to her husband that she can't talk, but she talks openly in front of her father and staff from the nursing home (the old and the new facility), despite the fact that her husband (Sa-Eon) is involved in taking care of his father in law.
What if he knows Du Na is the missing daughter? He's been planning revenge, so he must know. I wonder if he will…
Wait, you got the point there. So Ji-seok might find out that Duna is chairman Shim's missing daughter, and that Eun Chong is her grandson. So he might want to use Eun Chong as part of his revenge plan, and doesn't want Ha Na to be involved. Or as what you said, he might want to use both Eun Chong and Hana together for his revenge plan.
It's been implied that she passed away, a lot of things happen behind the scene for her character idk why
Tbh, I think her death was not implied on screen either. Duna is presumed dead based on the synopsis I read, which might not be accurate. Based on what I read:
- Duna was adopted and then moved to the US with her adoptive parents. - Duna was then involved in a car accident. (not too sure if she's dead due to the car accident)
From Namu Wiki (Google-translated):
==== Yoon Yoo-jin/Lee Doo-na
After disappearing at the beach, she is adopted and immigrates to the United States with amnesia. With fragmented memories, she goes back to her childhood home but gets into a suspicious car accident. ====
Another thing that makes me think Duna's dead is that no adult actress is portraying the character in the cast list and relationship table.
But yes, there's a possibility of a plot twist that YuJin/Duna might still be alive and make a comeback in the later part of the drama. Her character as a child is so lovely.
But if you ask my personal opinion, I think she will not be back. The story would be more on the relationship between Eun Chong (Duna's son) and his biological grandmother (chairman Shin Yeo Jin), as well as with Hana as Eun Chong's guardian (and probably adopted mother).
From Namu Wiki (Google-translated):
==== Lee Eun Chong
He is smart and precocious, but at the same time, he is innocent and unpretentious as a child.
Eun-gong's dream is to become his aunt (Hana)'s son. He thought that if his aunt became Cinderella, he would be adopted and happy too... But the lives of adults seen through the eyes of seven-year-old Eun-Chong are really funny and complicated. ====
Jiseok might hate her for being kind and always caring about others rather than herself.despite not being blood…
@karou @mari1227 agree with @Shir49, this remains to be seen. I don't see any clue that Jiseok likes her adoptive elder sister. He seems to hate her very much.
I'm sorry; but does koo ji seok like his sister? I hope that's not, i just started watching this series and i…
No, I don't think he likes Hana. He hates his adopted sister due to several reasons:
1. Their parents died while on the way to watch Hana's piano performance, so he partially blamed Hana for the death of their parents.
2. After the parents' death, he wanted Hana to be out of his and his younger sibling's life, but Hana insisted on staying and took care of the 3 siblings.
3. It seems that during the time skip, he doesn't like Hana's relationship with Duna and he especially doesn't like Hana taking care of Eunchong after Duna's death. We don't know the reason as yet.
That's what I understand for now, as of episode 10. I haven't watched episode 11 yet.

"OK, forget about me. Don't you care about Jihyun (their daughter)?"
Spot on! Good question!
Hello, Dad! Don't you have any paternal feelings at all towards your own daughter?
I am sick of married people who prioritise their affairs over their own children. OMG, my blood is boiling!
just kidding :)

- Duna was adopted and then moved to the US with her adoptive parents.

Oh Hyun Kyung was a very caring mom in Suji & Uri, I was shocked to see how she treated her daughter here.
And Chae Soo Bin is very cute!

2. After the parents' death, he wanted Hana to be out of his and his younger sibling's life, but Hana insisted on staying and took care of the 3 siblings.
