I debated whether to post these still cut for Ep 13 since the show will begin airing in less than 10 hours from now. Actually, the photos don’t communicate much, but there is an associated description, so will post in spoiler post below.
Meanwhile, it appears that last week (final week of filming) our Crazy Couple filmed some scenes outside under the cherry tress (be still my heart but this better be more meaningful than that stupid ending of ABP). Krystal’s last film outfit was a bright red top (not wedding dress material) and I swear if the show ends with Shin-ah leaving NGJ for a year to follow her dream to become an instructor I will downgrade my current 10 star rating for this show to a mediocre 5. But I will remain calm with the knowledge that final filming scenes/locations are not necessarily done in any special sequence or order.
Looking forward to visiting here in the morning (my early morning) after watching – hope the subs are posted early!

I was thinking of Kang Min earlier today as well, although not for the reasons. I'll get to that earlier.

To supplement your post, we also know: (i) someone paid KM a big sum of money to do "something" to NGJ (although I'm not yet convinced that it was to kill him because how in the world could anyone know that NGJ would be out on the street at the opportune moment??) (ii) KM gambled it away (iii) KM had a boarding pass to Buenos Aires in his pocket - date said May 7th but I think the prop folks goofed since the story was in an early March mode then and (iv) KM tried to call someone from that cheap eaterie and when they didn't answer, threw the phone down on the ground and called the person a "scumbag". And then - out of the blue - he gets an anonymous message that turned out to be from NGJ.

Next important item (?): NGJ told KM he could confess and pay for the hit-and-run or kill NGJ right then and there - he didn't care which. Implication was that KM was going to pay for A crime - it was up to KM to decide which one (hit-and-run or murder).

Se-gi DID visit KM - he was driving out of the prison when Park and his aide arrived. Also, as you said, he was upset that NBJ wanted him out of the interview with KM.

Back to why I was thinking about KM/Se-gi earlier. I looked into Dramabeans , reading the old recaps for CL and one of the commenters theorized early on that perhaps Se-gi was a fellow gambler with Kang Min which would explain why Se-gi wanted NGJ to go easy on KM. I had never
thought about the KM/Se-gi relationship that way. What if Se-gi is badly in debt? What if he has been embezzling money (such a coincidence that he had a 2nd set of books) for his gambling habit. What if his family is being threatened. Why is Se-gi seeming more and more desperate? Once a gambler, always a gambler? - he gambled all the money he had on NGJ and GoTop. We really still do not have any clues as to why Se-gi is doing this to NGJ except perhaps jealousy that NGJ gets all the limelight. So gambling debts (including possible threats against family?) are just as rational as working with Baek or being on a power trip or simple greed.

[I have tried to locate that Dramabeans comment because I try to give credit where credit is due - will edit this post if I can findd it]

Glad you reminded me about that daydream - I had forgotten (put it firmly down a memory hole) but I do try to be accurate, She was also wearing the blue dress. I blame the wine .

That blue dress! I wonder it will be part of Shin-ahs thoughts when she remembers she was wearing that dress when she was first introduced by the doctor as his fiancé ? And during that time, she was quite gentle with him at the hospital. And what was NGJ's real reaction when he saw Shin-ah in that dress? He looked her up and down - the dress clearly had an impression on him, but those scenes (in the present ) have never been referred to since then.

After reading your comment, now I want to know who called Go-Jin to tell him that Soo-yeong was sitting drunk in a bar? You are correct - she was throwing out the bait - but who helped her??? WHO called NGJ? She wasn't drunk - so she must have told someone else to do it.
Or, was it Detective? Perhaps we will see more of the story at the beginning of EP 13. I guess I need to re-watch Ep 12 tonight.
Re: the "noble sacrifice" plot device? I just don't see the writers throwing that in out of nowhere - might have made some sense if Soo-yeong continued to be a sweet/honest woman as she appeared in the beginning, but writers have slowly unveiled her true character - a rich, spoiled, unethical, hypocritical woman.
Re: NGJ's feelings - there has been nothing in any episode to indicate he has any feelings for SBY. All memories are painful. He despises her.

Based on spoilers for Ep. 13, BSY knows that NGJ doesn't have amnesia,. Will she tell anyone?

If she tells Park, will he refuse to oust NGJ? After re-watching last episode, it appeared that se-gi was hinting that PARK would be the new CEO of GoTOP and that's how he is convincing Park to oust NGJ. Because there is no reason for Park to oust NGJ just so that Se-gi can take over, is there?

Of course, what I really want to know is if BSY tells my mini-crush Secretary Jo about the fake amnesia. She must if the writers are consistent because she tells SJo everything!

So, Keiju, your comment made me re-think something. Assuming that Secretary is loyal to SOMEONE (other than himself), WHO is it??? Soo-yeong? Papa Baek? Or GoJin? As you say, Except for belief that he is at least coordinating with Se-gi, there is really nothing to show WHO he is loyal to.

Well, she's going to begin connecting the dots, isn't she? The blue dress that was a gift from her true love? The discussion about "fighting for your man even if he's engaged to someone else"? The phony birthday DINNER at the location where BSY's "first love" took her for her birthday?!! I think Shin-ah is going to realize that BSY has been playing her from almost the beginning (after they returned to Seoul) because it was BSY who pursued the relationship. The audience knows that BSY fights dirty - now (hopefully) Shin-ah will as well. I'm looking forward to seeing all of that.

I would like to watch it(especially since ML was in Lawless Lawyer which hubby and I are about to finish) but. . . not available in USA yet. I have suffered watching CL on my PC since it isn't on Disney+ in US yet, but it's not something I can watch with family easily. Glad to read your recommendation - I need to start a list. Wish I could locate Secretary Kim on any of the USA streaming services, but so far, not yet.

Elif Kim, Thanks for compliment but the writers are far more creative than me and they know how to write a very solid plot/consistent clues. I am in awe - I was absolutely floored when I re-watched Ep. 11 and noticed the Se-gi/SJo/Se-gi sequence w/r/t to the Shin-ahs personnel file. I'm fairly new to K/dramas and hope my faith is not misplaced (as it was w/r/t Business Proposal). Also holding out small hope SJo is good guy but trying to face facts. Enjoy your comments very much Elif Kim. And now I'm off to bed (PDT) here. See you tomorrow.

LOL - I am rated very "analytical/analytical" on the Meyers-Briggs spectrum and former corporate attorney (retired). I have time on my hands and I love a good mystery when it is well structured and carefully written like Crazy Love. Either the writers are in my head or I am in theirs w/r/t this show – everything I wanted to see/hear, they have come through thus far (and more – much more). I wish I was wrong w/r/t to SJo, but right now, the writers aren’t providing the necessary clues. How could they hire such a cutire and not redeem him? ?

A couple of days ago, I wrote that every character had met or seen Secretary Jo before he met Park Tae-young, who later mentioned that SJ looked familiar (Ep,12). I remembered that Secretary Jo was at the KPEDA event (attended by Go-Jin but Park had collapsed before BSY and Secretary Jo entered.) and also remembered that Se-gi had seen him when BSY left her office one day.
And then BAM, it hit me! How did Se-gi just happen to be there waiting for Soo-young that day so that he could "hit" her car? Answer: Secretary Jo.
How did Secretary Jo know that Go-Jin was “engaged” prior to the KPEDA event (it wasn’t public knowledge at that time). Answer: Segi?
Why did Secretary Jo suggest to BSY that she “recruit” from other academies? Answer: Part of Segi’s plan
Finally, in Ep 11 (maybe others already noticed, but I missed it until re-watch), it appears that SJo received copy of Shin-ah’s personnel file from Segi and provided it to BSY.

Is there still a chance that my mini-crush is a good guy – working with NGJ to spy on Segi’s plans? Well, that would mean that NGJ was okay with SJo providing info on Shin-ah to BYS. That would require some very, very double-spy type stuff and, sigh. . .I think it is more likely that SJo is using Segi so that Baek/Gunil Corp will take over GoTop. And SJo is so damn cute! Will try to keep optimistic, but I'm afraid SJo is a lost cause. So sad.

Secretary Jo! I am so sad.
Alas. . . .I must give up my one-day mini-crush on Secretary Jo. He appeared to be very protective of Soo-yeong and she obviously trusts him – she seeks his advice, he understands her obsession with Go-jin. Since the actor (Seo Ji-hoo) is only 32/33 years old, I assumed he was portraying a much younger member (cousin?) of the Baek family. But the character Secretary Jo is apparently 39 years old (!! WTF??) – older than Soo-yeong. So, after learning that (thanks idrilannare for the link to wiki-d.addicts) this means that SJ WAS probably around at the time of NGJ and BSY’s break-up and I had to rethink my mini-crush and decided that he indeed is a baddie. Spoilers below.

Yes! Yes! I'm not going to spoiler tag this one! BSY is IRREDEEMABLE. Writers! Don't disappoint me, please.

For those of us eager to try and understand the confusing video teasers and spoilers, your post is a a revelation - and very optimistic. Thank you.

From your translation to God's (writers!) ears. Thank-you bloomingtide for taking the time and effort to look at context and translation. I feel very hopeful that Ep 13 will end with cliff-hanger re: the take-over and in Ep 14 NGJ - once again - triumphs!

"BSY coming to her senses doesn't sound plausible to me."
Like you and idrilannare, I have also wondered the same - and rejected it. But. . . . she might be affected if it turns out that Secretary Jo has betrayed her by working with Segi.
But I don't want her dead either - occasionally I wonder if the black glove stalker will mix-up Shin-ah and BSY since they look similar (intentional, I believe by the writer/director).

"Meanwhile, Segi (Ha-Jun) convinces Masil-Jang (Baek Joo-Hee) to dismiss Go-Jin from her position as the CEO, "

This makes zero sense - unless Chief Ma {Masil-Jang] has a few shares of stock that he needs. I have wondered if the other instructors might also have shares that they can use to come to the rescue.

But this also implies that the ouster isn't a done deal (as my English translation indicates) - he may convince her, but that doesn't mean the vote has been taken by the end of Ep 13.

Yes, somehow I am able to find my way to the English translation page (see my copy in original post) but when I click on the link to video, it provides a new page with the video and the Korean words - exactly as you provided. So, I believe the English translation is probably something that they put through Google. Usually on Thursday or Friday, folks on Twitter begin to provide much better - closer to American English anyway - translation. I have never understood why Soo-yeong is always referred to as "swimmer" lol.

What do you mean by "staff IG". I've tried to browse thru IG searching for info and always come up empty (probably not using good hashtags). I read somewhere that BSY and Se-gi actors completed their filming yesterday (4/13 in Korea), but didnt' find anything on IG about it.

In any "real" world, this would not be possible w/out proper notice to shareholders. Board of Directors could call an emergency meeting and take emergency action. I have to admit - i have been hoping that there might be a meeting - where Go-Jin is accused of having amnesia and then he completely demolishes this by submitting recent doctor statements that he is cured. But this particular spoiler appears to say the vote/removal actually takes place. (the source has had inaccurate translations in the past)

Since Ep. 1, Scene 1 shows NGJ at a GoTop event, we fans can safely breathe easy that he does indeed get GoTop back.
