Add to that, Yun Ja had kept a very expensive ($30,000) fur coat, despite the family desperately needing money. I wonder which one of Su Ji and Jang Su paid for it?

While I do not necessarily subscribe to the tough love method of parenting, I did love how Seon Young talked to Su Ji and gave her the right type of support and encouragement. Full points on how to boost someone's confidence.

What can you say about Hyun Sung, except his obsession clearly has no limits. His father tells him "It is about time you accepted it and moved on" and "You need to know when to give up". His next move, go to U Ri's office to say "Can't you send her back to me?" U Ri's response was perfect: "Do you not care at all about what she wants to do? Do you think she's an object or something."

For me, the key part of the preview was Su Ji's doubting whether she can start over. Her overcoming this doubt will be a big part of the rest of the series.

You are probably correct. I only threw out the "they are actual brother and sister" scenario as something I have considered.

I am not certain how it would actually fit within the story or time lines, but I did consider that U Ri and Doo Ri were the original adoption choices for the Hans. However, because of Jin Tae's mess up, this did not happen and Hyun Sung was adopted instead. Imagine how Hyun Sung will feel if he was the booby prize!

I agree that Su Ji and U Ri are not related in any biological sense, which means there is not legal, ethical, or societal reason for them to be prevented from being together and eventually marrying.

My point about the incest issue was if Soo Ji discovers that she is the daughter of Seon Young before she finds out that U Ri is actually adopted. The emotional shock and trauma of that could set her back a lot. As far I recall, Su Ji has only seen a loving family of mother, son and two daughters, without the background of them not being biologically related at all (although I would not be surprised to find out that U Ri and Doo Ri are actual brother and sister).

I think that the next block of episodes will contain angst, questioning, and crying as a result of Su Ji discovering who her biological mother is. If she does not know that U Ri is adopted, then the spectre of incest will raise its ugly head. If Na Young (or Hyun Sung) finds out, will this be something that is maliciously spread?

What we know and what we believe regarding the "children", from my perspective.
- Su Ji is the biological daughter of Seon Young and Jang Su. Raised by Yun Ja and Jang Su to believe that she had been abandoned by her mother who had run away.
- Woo Ri is the adopted son of Seon Young. Presumed biological son of Ma Ri. Grew up in a loving home.
- Hyun Sung is presumed to be the adopted son of Ma Ri and Jin Tae. If so, his parentage might be important to the story. Grew up in a cold, loveless home
- Na Young is the biological daughter of Seon Young, but not of Jang Su. Grew up in the shadow of Su Ji and is resentful.
- Doo Ri is the adopted daughter of Seon Young. Parentage does not appear to be important to the story. Grew up in a loving home.

If Woo Ri is Ma Ri's son who got lost, did she have to give him up at birth because she was marrying Jin Tae? Is "You lost the thing most important to me" code for "I had to give my son up for you"? If he was so important, why no attempts to find him?

Seon Young believed that Su Ji had gone overseas, which explains why she did not look for her when she recovered.

I think the orphanage will have an important role in resolving the puzzle.

He is all three, but he is a narcissist who is incapable of accepting that his property/woman is in love with someone else, who he considers to be his inferior.

From the interaction with the Sister at the orphanage, it seems that Woo Ri and Doo Ri were both adopted from there by Seon Young. The fact that Ma Ri was there intrigued me. Is there a part of her story that we do not know about?

I think that Seon Young eventually recognised Yun Ja when she saw her face. It is possible she recognised the voice but did not connect it with the person, due to disbelief or the sheer volume of other voices she has heard over the years. Having said that, the difference between the empathetic, compassionate Seon Young and the selfish, self-centred Yun Ja could not have been more starkly drawn in that. Accusing Su Ji of having an affair when she is not married and publicly said no to Hyun Sung shows Yun Ja's attitude.

I doubt it will happen, but I would love Yun Ja to come back to the restaurant with Jang Su because the resultant fireworks would be so much fun.

Like you, I thought he was the director of the hospital's planning department. I do think that it was a "do-nothing" position (invented by his parents) to give him entry into the eventual take over of the hospital.

Personally, I thought the comments by Mi Ra that she has something to do that she must do, and that Jin Tae has to stay next to her until then were significant. Perhaps we will start find out what tomorrow.

You could be correct that she has not yet recovered, but she did say that she feels more comfortable now than at any other time. The problems will arise when she discovers who her mother is.

I think that the next episode will have some important information. Also, the Napa Cabbage Angel and Radish Guru appearance, with smile when looking at the video, was a key point in the story.

I doubt that anything will break his delusion.

While some of it was to drive Hyun Sung away, I do not think it was just that. Her reaction to the video was to smile, which strongly suggests something more is going on.

Interesting. With the interaction between Jin Tae and Ma Ri, plus the clear growing connection between the OTP, I think that the next 2 or 3 episodes will be providing more background information.

I think you are correct about the registry problem, if that determines whether people can marry or not. One solution would be to not add Su Ji to the registry. The other option would be for Woo Ri to be removed from it. Regardless, this is another problem that will play out between now and September.

Okay, we have slogged through some less than great scenes but all is forgiven with the arrival of Napa Cabbage Angel and Radish Guru. 😂

Now I understand. I do believe Woo Ri's relationship is going to cause problems for a while, especially if Su Ji discovers her relationship with Seon Young first. The back story for Woo Ri has to be identified eventually.

Who are you referring to by SR? Apologies if it should be obvious.
