You have a lot of good theories (I disagree with some, but that's why they are called "theories". The sequence of events will be important in trying to figure out what happened and when.

Since you said you were interested in the background scheming (I am as well) I'll point you to a history/time-line that i created. It's posted in the "discussion topic" section.

I need to re-check something, but I think Grace has only been "advising" the family for 15 years - she said something about how she has been able to influence the mother for 15 years by reading the internet, lol. At the time of the accident, she was in her mid-'30s.

However, Grandfather's relationship w/the Mistress was public (at least w/in the family) for over 30 years so she may have been there.

Mistress Bitch entered Grandpa's life over 30 years ago - she apparently moved into the house 20 years ago after Grandmother died.

I think the masterminds are Seul-hee and Eun-seong. They hire people to help them out: Director Jo (the man who left after 20 year and gave them insider info), Grace, Da Hye. They blackmail or bribe others (Hyun Woo's secretary).

I don't think Grace realizes that Mistress Bitch is running the show.

My bet is that the baby belongs to both Seo Cheol and Da Hye - primarily because those scenes were just too, too obvious.

Da Hye was "hired" to play a part and she's not supposed to care about her husband or baby. She is supposed to ask no questions, take the money and leave. But she does dote on the baby. Advisor Grace is already suspicious that she's beginning to care about Soo-cheol. So, when she's with Eun Seong or Grace, she makes a big deal about how stupid her husband is.

She is not part of the plan - she doesn't even know what the plan is.

I'm confidant that Hyun Woo will be the hero - actually, the leader of all the "heroes" who will rescue the family and the company.

But I WANT TO SEE Hyun Woo use his sniper skills to take down Eun Seong - maybe right through the eye. I avert my eyes from violent scenes but that is one I would re-watch over and over again.

thanks for the answer - I remember reading something-something about an ig photo over the weekend, but I just can't even. . . . I just can't . 😂😂 1st world problems, I guess.

Who the eff is "ksr"??? Nobody I care about, that's for sure since their initials don't match any of the main characters in this drama. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow -"Tarot" was invited to the Cannes International Series Short Film Competition. 😊😊

Unfortunately for me, it's a horror series and even though favorite Seo Ji Hoon is in one of the segments, I won't be able to watch.

I just checked ENA's schedule for tomorrow. They are repeating Episode 5 throughout the day and then a big "binge" watch of all 5 episodes in the evening.

No explanation - but this drama relies on "back-story/history" quite a bit so perhaps they decided a repeat would help the ratings.

I've been waiting for Seo Ji Hoon! Was he in episode 5 or in the preview for Ep. 6?

Yoo in-soo and Seo Ji Hoon are my 2 favorite kdrama actors and I am really looking forward to seeing them together in the same scenes.

He's one of the 5 "main" characters but thus far, his role is rather pitiful and plot device. I think it will change eventually and his role will play an important part.

They were totally remodeling for the baby - yes, they knew.

I read your post yesterday and planned to return to comment but it took me an hour to locate it!

Just wanted to say that I caught all of the other plot twists except the camera in the painting. 😊 And I thought I was carefully watching this drama - I re-watched Ep. 1-4 just to go back and see what subtle clues were already included. I'm filling up a notebook!

Also: "The baby that CDH has with HSC is it really his? ". Most viewers are jumping to the conclusion that it's not his baby but I thought the so-called "hints" were just too obvious in those scenes. Although I was shocked that CDH was the one who spread the corn, I wasn't surprised that she was a participant in the plan (although apparently a flunky-only at this point) because the "subtle" hints were there that her resume was fake.

As for Hyun Woo's suspicions of Eun Seong, it's been there ever since the hunt. Eun seong continued to stay in Hae-in's territory even after HW warned him away. HW is the one who investigated the fence and realized that it must be an insider job and that the video was doctored. I think he intentionally left the business card out in the open. I do love an intelligent character. 😊

he's also losing his eyesight apparently.

I have a different idea. At the age of 11, Eun Seong was a Queens Scholarship recipient - but he never went to a private school - he was shipped off to the USA instead. After the dog incident, perhaps the scholarship was taken away?

It's the other way around. I am 90% certain (must leave a bit of room for doubt) that Hyun Woo intentionally left that business card out in the open. And then left his car across the street from the Video business to see who would show up.

He was the one who bothered to investigate and found the fence and the corn after the wild boar incident - he knows it was intentional and after hearing the uncle's claim of innocence (and there was no video evidence of wrongdoing) believed that the video had been doctored. He knows that Eun Seong was in the area outside of his territory and that ES remained there after a warning. And he believes that Eun Seong must be working with at least one other insider.

But why does he hate the chairman? what did he ever do to him?

Did you notice that the boy playing young Eun seung is Pil Lip from LYOL? 😊

I think we will eventually discover that a great number of characters once received a Queens Scholarship and the family thought they were buying loyalty and assume they won't dare betray them. I'd lay money that HW's secretary is one of them. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that's how HW was able to afford a prestigious highschool in Seoul.

Good thoughts - I also think it's possible that he hid his own camera. . He drove back home, changed clothes and packed a bag - including her shoes! what a prince). And then parked his car across the street from the video guy before dashing to the airport. Hyun Woo was already on red alert to for an "insider" after the boar incident. Once the Fox Eun Seung was allowed into the Hong Family chicken house, Hyun Woo was on it was like a three alarm fire alert🔥🔥🔥. Plus it's awfully strange that he left that business card out in plain sight.
