Well, that was the point I was trying to make, but I guess I wasn't very clear. If they go so far as to test both, I'm thinking the results will be "inconclusive". 😀

I'm a mother of fraternal twins (boy/girl) and like any other full siblings, their DNA is closer to a full sibling than any other person in the world =- including cousins, etc.

But I'll throw out a different curve ball- I don't think it will be DNA tests after the baby is born - just too unimaginative. I think something will happen to baby in utero and bio dad's blood/plasma/whatever will be needed to support. I've been researching on that one (in utero transfusion) as well. If that happens, then JH's redemption arc either begins or ends, depending on what he does. 😀

I've been thinking that if they go this far, the tests would be "inconclusive" or "too close to call".

You should start preparing for the inevitable. I told you a couple of weeks ago that I could envision a TK happy birthday with entire family and JH all alone. 😊

I missed the June birthday date - adding it to my list of clues.

I've been saying this for two weeks - there is ZERO doubt in my mind that they are fraternal twins,. I've been compiling a list of all the clues and maybe it's time to post something.

However, w/r/t to adoption, In Ok once said that she gave birth to GTK. I don't recall the exact words (something like "I was willing to die to give you life and live for you"), so he's not adopted.

JH once said "I swear on my dead mother's grave".

My pet theory: In Ok was pregnant with twins. She was in a bad car accident with the father (unsure if married or not - but I say she WAS married - this is my theory, lol) Father died. In Ok gave birth to twins but was told that one died. In reality JH was abducted from the hospital.

haha, I'm just now watching ep 30 (released earlier than usual today) and paused video to come back and tell you that according to SJ, In Ok DOES know - that's why she insisted on YD moving into the annex. I sure don't remember that, but. . .??? Maybe I misunderstood what she was saying to JH.

Regarding TK's age. I'm going to put this in all caps:HE IS THE SAME AGE (34 YEARS) AS JOON-HA. They. Are. Fraternal. Twins. Zero. Doubt. In. My. Mind. - until something new comes along to burst the bubble, lol. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And I almost posted something earlier for you that I saw on twitter but I must get back to Ep. 30 because Se Jin's mom just showed up and I can't wait to see that scene.

Thanks BT for clarification. I didn't realize marie's post was a spoiler for todays show (naughty, naughty marie)., Well, I have my own pet theory as you know. New question: does In Ok know about YD's loss of 2nd fetus/"twin"?? I still believe that fact will have more far-reaching impact/relevance than simply sisterhood hugs w/SJ.

When did In Ok tell GTK that his father died before he was born? I must have missed that. (It wouldn't be the first time in this multi-character drama).

Your thought would also mean that Chairman cheated on his first wife - I don't see the drama going in that direction, but who knows.

Thanks for clarification. I guess the question now is whether it will be known by everyone or kept a closely held secret.

I won't be able to watch until very late tonight. I thought one of the "spoilers" was TK/YD confessing that TK wasn't the bio dad, but I don't see anything below (or above) about that. I always thought it was too early for the truth to come out but others (can't recall who) were convinced it was going to happen this weekend. So, did it happen as predicted?

If she is actually PG, I don't think SJ realizes it. She seemed surprised that she was so hungry late at night. She might be one of those women with very irregular cycles (I know several women like that) and assumed that "stress" (all her own fault, of course) was to blame.

Correct! As I said - it was a twist that I expected long ago, but finally gave it up. At this point, under Korean law, SJ is presumably past the date to get a legal abortion (14 weeks) so actually, for the most dramatic impact, it makes sense that the writers kept Se Jin - and the viewers - in the dark until now.

Of course, it might be a big nothingburger. However, at its heart, this is a drama about romantic entanglements, babies (starting with SG) and the impact on the people in their orbit.

, , , the big hint that SJ is pregnant.

I expected this weeks (months??) ago but finally gave up on the idea as YD and JM began to wear loose fitting clothes and no hints re: SJ.

For those of you who hate SJ and FF her scenes, you missed. . . .

The 2nd story in this drama is the "inheritance battle" (although not central yet), so I expect a "I can't be with him because HE will get hurt" somewhere along the line. I would rather have that then the unknown childhood connection/makjang-at-the-last-moment plot.

Although relatively new to k-drama, I've watched my fair share of rom-coms and I'm trying to remember if there has ever been as scene w/a ML chaebol (WWWSK or Business Proposal) or chaebol-lite (Her Private Life; 1% of anything)) like the final cliffhanger in today's episode. Can't recall one.

Well, if this Is standard soap opera, the baby will have illness and bio dad will be necessary to Save the baby. Guess i have assumed from the beginning that something like that would happen -- it's good plot for a couple of cliffhangers at least.

Episode 5 Pre-release w/Eng Sub --- funny and cute.

This might be the "closest" verification we get until we are able to search/find on our individual country platform. I would curl up and cry sobbing if it doesn't come to the US.

Not sure which comment about fraternal twins you are referring to, but I believe that Kim Joon Ha and Gong Tae Hyung are fraternal twins. In fact, there is no doubt in my mind.

Ji Myeong's co-worker (Yeon Sang Hoon) is a minor character who plays a part in the life of JM/HW. That whole elevator scene was meaningless for now, but I suppose it will have some usefulness in a future episode.

Number 2 on Netflix Global (Non-English) [June 19 -25]. This one may not be for you. 😢
