This one has my head spinning.
I hope it's not true, as that would make things much, much worse when the truth comes out.

You know what just occurred to me Sher, was that he's a cop: hasn't he even looked at his OWN family registry? Wouldn't it show that he was adopted by the fryer, or does it not work like that?
Anyways, the last several episodes have been really good and it feels like they've hit their stride now.

It's not gonna be good for him when he finds out the truth. He has no clue what is going on. It seems his older sister kinda does????

I got the impression that he was feeling caught in a difficult position and didn't want to seem too strident in terminating the questioning because it would make him suspicious. Plus, it seems he is a pretty private guy, something that his producer lady needs to understand.

Correction: the Cop did NOT recognize JA, but she was obscured by a spiderweb on the camera when he paused the footage. But you're right, given how touched he was by meeting her, that face should have stuck in his head.

LOL- we posted at the same time.

I just re-watched 28, they (DG/Fryer) did not mention any knowledge of the accident, just that they left contact info 'with her' before they moved to the PI. So 'somebody' intercepted the contact info?

Sher:
First paragraph, agreed. I'm guessing that the Sister thwarted any attempts of his to contact her, for whatever reason. Interesting that he or the fryer haven't mentioned the sister once , yet.

2nd paragraph, yeah, the only thing that makes sense to me is that the fryer brainwashed the kids into thinking mom abandoned them and she's a bad person...it's the only way I can understand the oldest daughter putting her out of her mind. I mean, it's her BIRTH MOM. Sheesh.
3rd paragraph - I think he DID recognize her. When he first saw her on the CCTV footage, he exclaimed so. (I'm going to skim thru that again and check).

Did DG/wife know that she had been in an accident? I don't remember them mentioning that?

To me, they need to address the proximity (or lack thereof) issue ASAP. JA's family should NOT live anywhere near DGs that they could interact casually. Seoul is a BIG city, they could/should easily live in a distant upscale neighborhood befitting her husbands position as CEO.

We only know, at this point, is that her sister lives in the chicken store neighborhood. Having SWs little sister suddenly show up in the area was out of place yesterday. But then, you have to wonder, how did she and ES meet and become friends? So it seems odd to me.

All that aside, I'll keep watching, I really want to see how they reunite the mother with her children, and how emotional that is.

28 was a good episode, but I'm finding that we have to suspend logic a bit with this series so it makes sense:
-The kids don't remember their birth mom?
- JE doesn't go to the police to report her kids were kidnapped and taken to a foreign country? No manhunt for the father and the 'abducted' kids?
- A company upgrades a server and doesn't do a complete backup of the system before decommissioning the old server?
Oh well, at least that story arc is done and all the files are back. The cast seems to be more comfortable with each other too.
And agreed with everyone else: the useless sister looks like the villianess of the story, at least in assisting her sister to lose her children.

That whole scene was odd: He berates ES about being out too late at night alone, and yet, his sister rides by alone, on her bike. Thats OK? Although he told her only one more lap, why didn't he tell her to put the bike in the back of the SUV and take her home too? It made no sense to me.

It was a good episode, that scene left me asking questions.

I can't understand that either.

the flashback you're referring to can be found at the 20 minute mark of ep 15. JA walks in on them, holding hands, as if she was intrerrupting a heartfelt conversation. To my eye, GCY does not look pregnant (they were both sitting down on the floor).

thank you!

So she DID back up the files to some sort of external HDD, and THAT is what was erased, while it sat on HY's desk?

well, in the scene repeated from last night, she (the wife) told her husband, words to the effect of "why her, you know about my past with Chun Yeong?", so there was a history between the 2 females.

Things should be clearer at this point, I'm not sure why a lot of this is being dribbled out, unless it's really shocking (like the wife and the fryer are related, or something).

I'm really trying to burn the cobwebs out of my brains with this series, so I can understand it better.....

Last night, KBS America aired the episode where the flashback happened (Ep #15) when the FL mom found her husband and the fryer lady together. She was tipped-off by her sister, who asked if he ever came home the previous night, because she saw him @ fryer's house that night.
For those who are paying better attention than I, did that scene occur in the Philippines? I know at some point they/he was living and last seen there by her.

I'm trying to piece together a timeline to keep my sanity:
1. She finds them together in the morning, after they were presumably together for the night
2. She asks for divorce shortly afterward
3. She gets divorce (presumably quickly as well), takes a pic of kids and tells him she'll come for the kids once she gets on her feet
4. He marries fryer, while his kids are still very young, (presumably shortly post-divorce) and leaves the Philippines and heads back to S. Korea without notifying ex-wife.

I'm guessing 1-4 happen within a 12-month period?
At some point afterwards, they conceive ES, who I GUESS is born in S Korea?

FWIW, it's very unusual for KBS America to be so far behind the domestic feed.

And pretty quickly at that? Because the kids were still so young as to not remember their real mom (which I still find hard-to-believe).

Now that they've finally started to flesh out the characters, she (JA sister) still stands as an enigma. I wouldn't be surprised that they leave her like that, just a superficial character designed to cause trouble. Because, who/why/how she lives is still a mystery to me.
Otherwise, we've had 2 really good eps in a row (23, 24) this week, and it feels like the show is now on a roll (but, how many times did we say that in AOME?).
Fingers crossed....

I thought that was the one of the best scenes in the show so far, with the two of them playing "hot potato" with JS, and her sister (FL mom) watching with bemusement.
