Another Stranger

What was SW trying to do? Is he forcing his mom to friend-zone his dad?
Love the bold version of JI. I don’t know what made her so meek & naive in the past despite being in a position of power but I liked her character growth.
I thought GC or his mom would question Ji Ho’s identity after the entry of SR’s ex but they didn’t. Seems like the writer passed the ball to Gi Man, who will tighten the noose around SR’s neck until she spits money. The good thing however is that Ji Ho’s dad is a decent person. Thank God.

JI & DY winning by using the tactics they once succumbed to is delightful. “To think that ONLY they can install bugging devices is pure arrogance” - DY
The villains vanity stems not from their abilities but the disability of the other side to stand up for themselves or play offence instead of “diplomatic” defence.
SR’s ex-husband’s entry is like the last nail in the coffin, GC will never trust SR again. Oh no! GC is yet to know that he isn’t Ji Ho’s biological father so that’ll be the last nail. Waaaaait, we almost forgot that SR attempted to kill Gi Man twice, so that’ll be the last nail or SR can outperform herself & create more chaos to expedite her doom.

SR being sent to a mental healthcare facility is beyond perfect. I thought JI would do that to GC & whisper in his ears "Your 1st mistake..... was underestiming me"

GC is optimistic to the point of foolishness. He still thinks that he's the player but he's long been a chess piece in JI's game. She was a ruthlessly discarded pawn who resurrected to be the Queen & now she promoted herself to be the player. She is destroying them inside out by infiltrating the enemy camp & is conspicuously playing their own moves against them.

I think she realised that they weren't smart but just shamelessly bold. By playing right into their tactics, she precipitated their mental breakdown & caused them to turn against each other in chaos. She knew that those selfish & impatient people would instinctively choose to blame eachother & would prioritize themselves over their relationships.

DY's family & YG's father are like the official punchbags/ emotional trash bins/ selfless caretakers of this drama. DY's mom's plight is unmatched. The writer must hate her. At this point GC's mom being in jail is a blessing rather than punishment. I hope that she goes crazy & lives her life in fear of persecution; barely hanging on by sticking those yellow shamanic talismans & praying for forgiveness by kneeling down at a temple & crying at the church everyday.

I'm not interested in Mi Ran or her son's love story. They are selfish & emotionally deprived, so they will be demanding partners. I feel bad for YG & DY's uncle as they have to make sacrifices but if it makes them happy, then so be it.

Ji Ho & Bo Ram suffered the greatest collateral damage. They'll have a happy ending but no one can compensate their loss.

It is Gi Man. I think if he's not dead, he would be in a comatose state. SR would definitely not take the blame so GM might wake up & confess or JI's mom will spill the beans when her memory serves her right.

GC is right, he at least didn't intend to muder anyone to climb up the ladder. But SR is just inhumane with no regard for other people's lives. Nauseating.

I just hope SR doesn't pin the blame of GM's muder on JI's mom (just like they did in Do Hee's case).

DY & his uncle are both head over heels for the Kang ladies. Can't blame them though.

If GC's mom was smart enough she should have placed 2 cameras. One in a visibly dumb position & one hard to trace. Can't believe that she could pull off an insurance scam with her silly tactics.

DY's family can never forgive the Hwangs. At least the Kang family brought up SW, JI repented for their family's mistakes, JI's mom was a good friend & Do Hee was not killed by her directly or intentionally. JI & her aunt would be their in-laws & they can live peacefully.

But the Hwang family & especially SR are beyond redemption. SR can never pay for her crimes. I hope Ji Ho isn't her son. No one deserves a mother like her.

So it’s finally confirmed that Ji Ho isn’t GC’s son. And there's NOoooo need for any dramatic hair plucking or stealing toothbrushes, a simple blood test will do. Finally we'll see GM being a wrecking ball causing havoc everywhere.

MR isn't getting any sympathy from me unless she atones for her mistakes. She can't be the only one who gets away spotless after throwing shade at literally everyone for selfish reasons.

JI is doing great by holding a mirror to the evil MIL. I genuinely felt bad for JI's mom. She seemed to care for SW despite his identity but one impatient moment ruined her reputation & life.
Dementia is the cruelest thing that can happen as it's like an unstoppable undo button erasing your life story letter by letter until you cease to exist.

That tender moment when JI was putting Ji Ho to sleep & GC gently asks about her food cravings was the most painful moment in the ep for me. This could have been their life with EW sleeping like an angel waiting for his sibling. GC literally dug his own grave & that of his entire family by kissing that evil woman. And he will turn over even in his grave after learning the truth about Ji Ho. I can't wait to see him & SR tear each other apart.

OMG!!! JI is literally letting her mother in law taste her own medicine. YG is helping her future sister in law in avenging their ex in-laws. Retributive justice.

While GC's family is in a state of paranoia, GC is in his fantasy honeymoon. *smh*

I think Bo Ram will play a significant role in DY & JI's relationship but I hope JI's facade remains strong until she sets things in the right order.

SR questioning GC's ethics & etiquette is ridiculous as they both are cut from the same cloth & two wrongs don't make a right. Apparently SR lost her "serendipitous discovery" ability & sadly she can't keep up anymore. If not SR would have either overhead JI or uncovered JI's plot by "accident".

Kang Mi Ran was the only person SR trusted to help her persuade JI to abort the baby. Not GC's family/ JI's mom/ SW/ YG. MR should reflect on herself. There was a stark difference b/w SW & MR's reaction to JI's pregnancy. SW was being a brother while MR simply said "you are responsible for your life, I don't want to get involved". She took a stand for JI in front of SR but what stopped her from storming into GC's office & reprimanding him as usual? She doesn't care enough. She has no right whatsoever to blame JI's mom.

At this point JI is being too obvious for her own good. But I'm not complaining as it's refreshing to watch the idiots fall for their own trap.

As everyone already guessed, JI is pregnant. I can't wait to see SR's reaction. I think JI is being very thorough with her revenge. She is mirroring each & every past event chronologically, so the miscarriage scenario might repeat.

At this point GC's family is being dumb but the thing is they weren't ever particularly smart. Our leads were careless & offered free kicks. Thankfully JI revealed to DY & YG that she didn't lose her memories. Imagine an uninformed DY hearing that JI is pregnant. But I think he'll be heart broken just the same.

DY's bad blood with GC spans generations so their fate as enemies was sealed. I wish GC sincerely loved JI but he doesn't. He loves the feeling of being the ideal person JI imagines him to be. So it's just admiration for JI & lust for SR. He doesn't love anyone but himself (not even his own son).

He wanted to be the King but he's just a clown 🤡 sitting on the throne making the palace a circus 🎪

No matter who wins - aunt or JI, YL group’s legacy will be carried on by the “Kim” family’s descendants. Hwang brothers are likely to be imprisoned (if not infertile) & Ji Ho may escape this toxicity if his father isn’t GC.

I guess we’ll have a new character soon but I don’t get who’s behind that lady’s confession about DY being “not guilty”. KJI can be behind it but who’s helping her pull the strings?
I’m honestly disgusted by Mi Ran’s disapproval of JI re-joining the company. The aunt saw her niece suffer endlessly to the point of death yet she not only abandons her again but suggests SW to do the same. She blames JI for associating with DY’s family but this shameless lady is all set to date DY’s uncle. Hypocrisy at its peak.

W a i t... did it really happen? I still choose to believe that KJI put sleeping pills into the drink. She might "fake" her pregnancy too, let's see.

HGC's character is becoming increasingly complex. Though he is a ruthless conspirator & a cheater, he is also being portrayed as a vulnerable & caring guy especially when compared to SR & his mother.

Do I have to empathise with his "apparently" soft side? I'm sorry, a leopard can never change its spots. If his son's & (ex)wife's death didn't knock him back to reality, nothing will. He will crumble under the weight of his own ambitions. He is beginning to realise what he lost but on the day he falls, the 'aching regret' in his heart will FORCE him to "curse" himself.

We're close to 70 eps & the ML is yet to shine. I know that he's everywhere & is supporting the FL but I don't get the point of him being a doctor. DH holdings is his uncle's company so his role in that aspect too is underwhelming. His romantic feelings are largely one-sided & his "own revenge" plan has become a sub-plot making him feel like a supporting role.

Even GC's mom has more screen time & presence compared to him. I kind of miss the raw & morally conflicted DY in the earlier eps. He was an interesting & a layered character. The minute he fell for JI, he turned from a player to a cheer leader (with bunny ears & teary eyes) 😶

SR had the temerity to lie using CJY’s dementia as an excuse. So it’s no wonder that GC believes that the dropped earring was another of SR’s tacky schemes. Now almost everyone but her own family knows that CJY has dementia so ‘medicine swapping’ plot is on the way.
GC getting closer to uncovering the slush fund smells trouble, so JI has to get reinstated before it’s too late. We might see office politics infused with romance, jealousy & betrayal.

It's funny how both SR & JI are trying to label the other as a cheater. Legally they aren't liable but morally both of them are. This is so twisted 🥨 but SR deserves the humiliation. DY is pitiful but we know he's got a 'happily ever after' waiting for him. I can't imagine how disgusted JI must be feeling.

So we have a 'budding romance' b/w DY's mom & YG's dad while sparks are flying b/w SW & YG.
I can't keep up with the overly entangled relationship chart of this drama.

I absolutely love it when SR & GC turn against each other.

And can I just say that I love JI's new wardrobe? Elegant, innocent & delicately coloured outfits paired with a bold & fiesty bob cut.

I wish JI uses GM against his own family (just like aunt & SW were used against her). With JI's arrival, GC's mom can finally speak her mind with SR. If not for Ji Ho, she wouldn't tolerate SR anyway so if Ji Ho isn't her grandson, SR will taste the wrath of GC & his mom.

SR, it's time to wake up & smell the coffee☕ Even after the whole life wrecking ordeal, everything that she gained remains to be owned by her.

Hmmm... hands down, JI is definitely not having any Retrograde amnesia & it's as clear as the day when we see her diss SR & her evil MIL in an effortlessly elegant & sassy way. This version of her is intresting & I hope that she maintains this poise & carefully calculates her moves (by hiding her claws) instead of being impatient & losing the game to worthless opponents.

I loved how GC's family who are self aware of their "makjang-ness" couldn't dare to eat the breakfast feast before SW did. JI is ruthlessly showing SR that everything & everyone that SR thought she seized from JI truly belong to her & SR can never ever take her place as she in no way deserved it in the first place.

Owning things & people is not about forging documents, it is about weaving intricate moments of life together through trust, sacrifice, healthy love & respect. JI may be his enemy but GC genuinely appreciates her & loves to delude himself into thinking that he could be the man JI thinks he is. He wants to escape his dark reality & guilt by pretending to be the 'ideal husband' in JI's past memories. Sadly, his path to salvation is getting harder due to his own delusions.

YG will obviously not return but GM seems to be blackmailing SR. He either wants money or YG & I feel that JI returning will further trigger GM to win YG back.
Though I can understand the vulnerability behind JI's mom's actions, what I can't tolerate is SR's justification. She is pretending as if she has the "right" to take revenge on JI's family. They were the victims in the past not SR. And they actually forgived her without any legal & monetary charges.

So it's menopause not pregnancy. This feels more realistic.
Seems like Jae In & Yu Gyeong will be in laws again.
SR is beyond annoying now. No amount of punishment/ redemption can justify her reckless spree. I don't understand why JI's mom has to kneel & apologize to SR. To Do Hee's mom yes but to SR? Absolutely distasteful & immoral act of manipulating a mentally ill person.

If SR wants real revenge, she should have been kinder, smarter & an influential person through her hard work & lead a happy life with loved ones. GC's family would make JI miserable anyway so showing up for JI during this phase would make her seem magnanimous & make JI's mom sincerely reflect on that incident. Now she just proved JI's mom right & though in denial, she knows that this isn't going to end well for her anyway.

We knew it. The moment we saw JI hit her head on the steering wheel, we were heading towards the dreaded amnesia plot. And I knew that her memories of DY would vanish. Now I can't blame DY's mom for her hysteria as both mom & daughter lost their memories. What's the probability guys? It would drive anyone crazy but she's still expected to be the bigger person & help them instead.

I wish that JI is acting like she lost her memories to get closer to the truth behind her family's & EW's incident. It's going to be extremely entertaining to watch the love square developing this week. GC's mom returning to her former "butler mother in law" role & buttering up to JI will be hilarious. I wish GM doesn't take advantage of this situation to lure YG back into the house.

Legend of Zang Hai

Exactly. And that's what makes GC a foolish clown who ruined his own life. JI was giving him everything he ever wanted but he killed the 'goose laying golden eggs'

I don't like where this is going. If GC steps down as the chairperson, is SR going to claim the position? (somehow claiming to be the real Kang JI using JI's mom as a leverage)

It's like SR is main character of this drama. This woman single handedly deals with every threat, monitors every lead & protects herself so well. The writer is making us feel helplessly disappointed as SR doesn't even try & our leads collapse. Imagine if she was actually capable & had a strong backstory to support her actions. She would be the perfect Anti-hero.

Anyway Mi Ran is pregnant so all her sins will be washed away soon. I'm repelled by this awful plot line as this woman is indirectly responsible for all the misunderstandings & she actively supported the villains leading to EW's & nearly JI's death. She isn't protecting the company due to loyalty or for any social cause but for self indulgence. So whatever she went through isn't some noble sacrifice but a calculated choice.

If YL/ her family mattered to her then supporting GC professionally & personally is absurd. Imagine if JI's mom did that to SW. MR would never tolerate that. So why should she be pampered & protected yet again at the cost of JI & her mother? She fought against her own family & made them weak instead of working together to protect the YL group.

JI & her mother suffered equally if not greater than MR for YL group so she should drop her victim card. If she was so insecure of JI being the chairperson, she could have her sign a document making her tenure limited & added conditions to secure SW's future. If she thinks JI isn't capable yet then she should have guided her as her aunt/ at least out of gratitude towards JI's dad.

But MR wouldn't be satisfied with YL's growth. She wants to be "compensated" even at the cost of her own family who protected her. So how can she claim that she made sacrifices for "Kang" family? She still thinks that her hands aren't stained with blood but she's a total red flag 🚩 She let the enemies take over her kingdom (YL) when she realised that she couldn't be the King. Shameless & worthless betrayal which only harmed her family & YL.
