Bravo. And other folks say that Episode 9 was "filler" or empty, lol. It's called Act 2, , Scene 1- laying the foundation for what will come in the future. 😍

I think she wrote it that way so that he would hate her. But of course, he doesn't.

Now that Da Hye is in New York City, perhaps Hyun Woo can convince her to help him -----OR --- face criminal charges for taking stolen goods internationally??? That's what I want to see.

Thanks for sharing.

So, another stellar jump in the Saturday-to-Saturday ratings. 😊😊😊

I do feel bad that so many MDL'ers hated today's episode, but I'm enjoying this roller-coaster ride very much. We just completed the first big climb/descent (Ep. 1-8) and now some more twist and turns before the next big climb. Epic story-telling in my book. 😍

What's his plan? I don't know and looks like we find out tomorrow? But my GUESS is that he will offer to bring her back as President of the department store and he thinks that she wants that more than anything else?

The part I don't understand is the "guardianship" but Hyun Woo now knows about that (presumably) so unlikely it would work.

She needs that miraculous recovery because time is running out - she's down to a handful of weeks in the original 3 months.

"or even worse than this."

haha, yeah like the couple who adopted Eun Seong and died in a mysterious car accent right before he graduated from University?

it's not the orphans who were in red shirts - the red shirts are prominent in Hyun Woo's school photo in his room. . HW was there. or, I should say, I'm 99% certain he was there. 😊

I'll save you time. her brother was wearing 'white". the person who rescued her had a dark shirt on.

You and I are thinking alike! I'm not sure he would use Grandfather as leverage against Hae-in - but now that grandfather is gone (and how the hell did THAT happen if yoon didn't have the POA???) he definitely can control his mother.

Eun Seong's original plan was for Grandfather to go to prison for embezzlement and then they were going to strike at the business/shareholders. Once he realized that Hyun woo was getting too close to the truth (regarding the convertible bonds), they had to skip that part and take Grandfather down physically (poison).

I posted a list of all the people (plus 1 unfortunate dog) that have died w/in her orbit - it's a pretty long list! So, it's just a theory that she may have caused the death of their baby.

A case could be made (circumstantial, of course) that she has been carefully removing any and all 'heirs" to the Queen's family with some idea that Eun Seong belongs there. I should probably post it in the discussion forum.

Yes, I want confirmation that Poisoner in Chief Madwoman Moh poisoned her and caused the miscarriage.

I think Eun Seong figured out that his mother was continuing to poison him in the hospital - she moved too fast (kicking the family out) for HIS plans to get closer to Hae-in.

Pretty sure Da Hye will return. in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if she becomes part of hyun-woos plans to destroy Eun Seong. If she took stolen goods to the US, the little lady is in big. . . . trouble.

I've viewed this drama as the roller-coaster they promised. First 8 episodes were a few twists and turns and the very slow, very long climb up the first steep slope and then it all came down fast in a series of whiplashing twists. So, now we are once again at the bottom. . . .taking a breath, gathering our energy and preparing for the next steep climb.

Anyway, that's how I see it and i didn't expect any progression in their relationship yet, although I wish writers would give one endearing hae-in scene each episode similar to the early morning bedroom scene in Ep. 9. with Hyun Woo.

At a minimum, the viewer should be able to see SOME sort of connection between Hae-in's epiphany in the Episode 8 epilogue and how she is behaving now.😒

i think the point of their dialogue is that hae-in is in a life-and-death struggle and exerting time and energy into sorting out their relationship is not their #1 priority - it's definitely not HIS priority.

However, Hae-in is going to be dead in less than a month if they don't get moving. . . .OR, unbeknownst to them, she's already recovering. 😊

You were right about the "less miserable" dialogue. although it wasn't the precise words that were in the teaser. 😊

Not clear what happened, but the Hong family doesn't rely on nature for pregnancy - they do it via medical procedure (or at least, that was the plan for Hyun Woo and Hae-in). So, if Da Hye was sleeping with Soo Cheol, i'm not sure why she is so certain that the child is not his - unless, there was a plan in advance to switch sperm donor samples.

I would not be surprised if Mistress Bitch has been determined to see to it that there are no Hong heirs that can challenge Eun Seong.

What she says and what she does (actions/non-action) are diametrically opposed. She's been that way from the beginning - defending him to her family but rarely when he was there.

It's a "cliche" about destiny ("was he born to love me?"). Hyun Woo was born to love her and protect her - call it fate, God, aliens, whatever but that is their story, as has been shown over and over again.

Well, she did get married and have a couple of babies (twins!). Perhaps she is trying to ease back into a reasonable schedule for her current life. 😊

So, while we are waiting. . we finally get the battle I’ve been waiting for (from tvN). . . . . “Even though we broke up, I am more serious about protecting my wife than anyone else”

Article/still cuts for Episode 9, including:
“Baek Hyun Woo is left alone in the Queens Group, where all the members of the family have left, and foreshadows a fight with Yoon Eun-sung. . .he aims to turn the tide with a drastically different attitude than before, such as shaking nervously in front of Yoon Eun-sung.

Finally, the Ep. 9 pre-release was dropped a couple of hours ago – there are no words, thus no subs or dubs required. It’s all in Hyun Woo’s actions. So darn . . .captivating.

Enjoy while you wait!
