Now can we tell if Mi Ran is playing the CEO or if the CEO is actually playing her?😅
He does give her a very strange, calculated look all the time.

Like everyone else, I m waiting to see the reunion-confrontation btwn GR & Yun Hui. That's the biggest emotional peak of the drama for me! I hope GR will not disappoint. Call a spade a spade. The dam must break.
Yun Hui’s priority has always been to protect her new family. It's easy to play a wife/mother to a new family than to do the heavy, uncomfortable duty of maintaining a bond with her kids. She thinks she has chosen the perfect life, but in reality, she has turned her back on her children for a "sanitized family". Now, that family unit is going to crush her.
Perhaps one day she'll come to realize that her choice has effectively isolated her & left no capacity for her to be a mother to her biological children.

Lawyer boy lies too easily. This makes me question his ethics. Getting ES into the archive room under false pretenses etc. A lot of viewers fall for the "Daddy Long Legs" trope. But he cld be more dangerous if he gets angry - due to jealousy. There's a subtle, calculative edge about him. SJ isn't wrong when he told him that the "debt" cld be a burden for ES.

He's a bit laid- back about probing deeper into the killer's MO. Most clues came frm ES's own investigative work. He's just good at looking up info to help ES. So yes, you're right - he's more invested in capturing ES's affection.

I think there's definitely gonna be at least an engagement fanfare btwn SJ & HR. Yeah, jazz up the drama.

Btw, how did lawyer boy come to represent ES 10 yrs ago? Random?
And how did he end up working as the head of legal department in Cheongma?
Wldn't MR recognize/remember him?

Watch " Love Twist" - if you hve the time. Lawyer boy & sister were in the cast.

😂

Lawyer boy is shrewd. Imo, he's not pulling out - he's playing it cool after his confession & stepping back into the friend zone, he keeps her guard down. He knows she likes S J. Maintaining the "Daddy Long Legs" persona allows him to stay indispensable & close to her. While simultaneously, speaking to SJ in a calm matter-of- fact tone to watch his step & keep off his turf.
Yes, he's dangerous & a potential enemy to ES.

Lawyer boy has the slightest villainous air about him when he was talking to SJ.

MR will pretend - if there's no way around it. Grandma holds the key to her real identity. She may also pay granny to keep her mouth shut. But the moment greedy gran demands for more, MR is gonna leave another body behind.

SH's "affectionate" behavior toward her stepmom was self-serving. Using her step mom to punish her dad validates her victim mindset. She told Yun Hui not to forgive Hun Tae - which was ridiculous. It's all abt her obsession with MJ. Anyone obstructing the beeline to MJ is her ENEMY. Last ep, it was Hun Tae - next ep, it's Yun Hui (congratulations!). Following eps, GR etc. Mental illness or not, she's definitely narcissistic and cruel.

Very possible. 🤞

@gig911 Some say he's intelligent - but calling your mother auntie/ajumeoni??? That's deliberately rude. A normal kid wld run back home to ask his mother about the blood test; oh, but not Gyeol - he decides what he wants to do. He's so entitled. I understand that he's hurt and confused, probably fearful abt his future. But he's also taking GR's love for granted bc he knows it has always been unconditional. That's what he is doing to MJ now. Oh, he just needs some time to camp out at MJ'S place & cool off to figure things out -what, as an 8 year old?? What a brat indeed. GR's tendency to enable & martyr herself doesn't help matters. She lets him dictate the terms of their r/ship which only fuels his attitude.

Reconnecting with SJ after her exoneration definitely emboldens her. I think she wants to "snag" SJ - a form of payback against HR who made her life miserable. Whether out of lingering affection for SJ, or revenge against HR, or a mix of both - it's gonna be complex.

Gran is proving to be quite a sleuth. She's making moves that actual protagonists in makjang dramas usually take forever to figure out.

Miran thinks she is - that has been her role - playing everyone in the Kang hsehold. But I feel that ES may emerge as a dark horse.

Yeah, over a parking dispute?? 🙄 Did she even drive that night?? 🤔

With 100 eps on board, MR pretending to be ES's mother is a diversion to throw off the investigation & buy her more time. It may diffuse any suspicion ES has on her. If she goes with the plan, her real identity will not be a secret too long bc she mentioned that she knew Hee Jung. And frm the notebook, the dad & Granma know the name.

And she cld hve crossed paths as an adult MiRan with Jeong Sun or Yeong Hun - and experienced another set back/rejection that wld solidify her obsession for revenge.

I think losing out on an adoption at the last minute was just the tip of the iceberg in her revenge arc. Miran cld hve experienced intense financial & social struggles after leaving the orphanage. It'll be interesting to see if upcoming episodes reveal her initial resentment for Jeong Seon turned her from envy into a full blown villain.

We hope so 😁

Me too .

Yes, she needs help. She must sit down & speak her heart out to someone instead of running & denying.
