I've wondered that too. She told JH in ep 1 that she wants to be part of a powerful family. But Granny specifically…
Because via marriage she was going to be able to get her foot in the door to the finance department. She knows if she marries him she can gain more access to the company. Her ultimate goal is to “take back what is mine” - remember she screamed that at her dad when she was kicking him out. She perceived that the company is hers - why? I still say the Gong family had a hand in her family losing their money somehow. The dad bought the academy for her dad as a compensation - why do that if you aren’t feeling guilty about something?
I agree there definitely more. I think she’s the fathers mom, so she could’ve grown up poor. JM said her moms…
It’s been mentioned the business didn’t becomes profitable until their dad took,over so I am not even sure their mom came from a rich family. My understanding is their wealth came later.
KBS World has added Jan Di’s character bio to their site: spoiler below
As an adolescent middle school student, she causes trouble every day and gives her father a hard time. But deep down, she misses her mother, who has been missing for ten years. She becomes friends with her art teacher Mirae and is comforted by her. But could Ms. Mirae become her new mother? Then her mother, Seonju, reappears…15-year-old Jandi’s life is full of ups and downs.
Seon-dal, who was kicked out by Kyung-ja, is looking for a new woman, and Jun-pyo decides to buy Jan-di some pasta. Meanwhile, Yoo-jin suddenly visits Joo-hyeok, who is with Mi-rae... .
I went back and looked again - I honestly don’t think it is KS - the shirt doesn’t look like anything KS would wear. It’s either JH or it is the guy JY met at the job interview, imo.
After seeing how Dong Sr treats women, CR should thank her lucky stars she escaped being married to him. Ordering his sister to cook a meal when she JUST walked in the door - she should have said “dude, you’ve been home, why isn’t my dinner ready yet? “ and I see JH immediately picked up on how it was KS’s family she was talking about. I swear his real Gf is KS’s wife - he has such a beef with KS that defies explanation except that.
This is such a weird daily Kdrama. What is playing out on screen does not align with the premise initially provided…
Here are the interactions I look forward to:
-soo Ji and just about anyone - but especially KS. I think their bantering is fun - just like a brother and sister. -JP and jd -…………… naw, that’s about it. 😂
Well, a milestone reached, not in terms of plot movement, but at #of episodes. 50 in, and we're getting nowhere…
I’m not as optimistic as you. 😂 I’m gonna say we won’t see mom until 60-65 episodes. It will then take close to another 10 before we actually see a divorce going. With any luck, the mom may die and KS won’t have to carry the stigma of divorce. I’m worried she shows up , causes issues, they finally file for divorce and she ends up with cancer and he feels obligated to take care of her. We may not see our lead together and happy until episodes 110 and beyond.
Only thing of note (and I use that loosely) is that MR is aware that the bakery owner has a crush on the baker.
Her future MIL - they are building a rapport. It will be hard for MR to have her as a step-mom when she would have to be around JH- unless he ends up going back to states at the end or ends up in jail.
I’m watching without subs and it seems to be same old same old.
Next week Soo Ji asks leech head to spy on JH and report to her. I think he will gladly do it. JH continues to burn his bridges. The number of people he keeps offending keeps going up.
Someone mentioned an interesting theory - what if DH was responsible for the death of CR’s husband and child in that car accident? Maybe he has been in prison for it all this time? Or maybe he was falsely accused of it?
