As of now, I'm rooting for Hwayoung. It's gonna be more exciting now that the fool gets to do the fooling.
ππππ me too lol. It's more exciting this way- we need to see some good plotting. The good guys are just not giving us what we want.
I doubt Hwa Yeong will inform Jun Ho that Seo Rin is actually Jang Mi.
The phone will not be given to the police. What could happen to prevent this? Hwa Yeong has the police in her pocket, though. Could Hwa Yeong get Jun Ho to steal it from Baek Ho?
You are right to point out how it's not so simple as Jun Ho rejecting his birth mom at first and how complex all…
Very true. Hwa Yeong will do something and Jun Ho will see.
For now, it looks like Hwa Yeong knows about the switch. I wonder how she will use the information to her advantage. Now she knows something about Jang Mi and Jang Mi knows something about her. Will Hwa Yeong blackmail Jang Mi into the marriage? While Jun Ho wants to marry 'Seo Rin', I don't think he wants her to marry him under duress.
Jun Ho is really caught between a rock and a hard place. Every child craves the love of their biological parents- without it, they will always feel like something is missing. Even if they have been adopted into the best of families, they still want to know where they came from and where do they belong. Itβs about their identity. Itβs an in-built longing. Frankly, I would be surprised if he was not loyal to his bio- Mom.
Jun Ho is still that 5-year old boy who had been bounced around from orphanage to orphanage, who had leukaemia, and was rejected by his first adoptive family because he was sick. During all that, he dreamt that his bio-parents would come and rescue him, and that longing is still there. It showed in the way he started crying within seconds of talking to Hwa Yeong- he showed a vulnerability that he has never even shown his adoptive family. They donβt know how deep his wounds are.
He also believes that a biological child is treated better so he wants that same treatment. No matter how hard Yeong Ja tries, she will never be able to break down the wall he has put up around his heart. He has reserved that place for his bio-parents. So finally finding Hwa Yeong and seeing her so distraught and feeling such guilt towards him, and for her to cry like that, will eventually warm his heart. Loyalty is a given until he is given a reason to not trust her. But even then, it will be hard for him to believe that his bio-Mom is evil. Seo Rin struggled with the truth. She would have never believed that the woman who raised her is a monster if she had not heard and seen it for herself. And even then, she could not bring herself to reveal the truth. Hwa Yeong taught Seo Rin to be rude and entitled, and that itβs okay to treat people horribly because she is an heiress. So Seo Rin will need to unlearn these behaviours- 30-years worth.
There is also Jun Hoβs bio-dad issue. Hwa Yeong hates people in the show business because she had to grovel to them when she was younger. So it is quite possible that she slept with people for favours or she was raped by someone in the industry. If it is the latter, it will devastate Jun Ho and he will be even more loyal to Hwa Yeong because she still decided to have him instead of aborting him.
So Jun Ho needs to build up his relationship with Hwa Yeong- it is necessary for his healing process. I doubt Hwa Yeong will tell him all of her evil deeds so he will blindly follow her for a while. We should expect some of Baek Ho and Jang Miβs plans to be ruined because of him. And now that Jang Mi believes that he is only after the company, her view of him is tainted and there is no chance of them working together, any time soon. She likely also thinks that his feelings for her are not genuine, which is sad because he does have real feelings for her. Given how cold he is, I think she might be the first girl he has ever fallen for. When the truth about Seo Rin comes out, he will feel like Jang Mi and Baek Ho have been playing him for a fool and will be even more hurt.
Then there is Manager Lee- he is a wild card. He does not like that Jun Ho exists. If Jun Ho ends up turning on Hwa Yeong- Jun Ho will be in danger.
All in all, for now, Jun Ho needs to believe that his bio-Mom is a good person and genuinely loves him, which she does. He will see her through rose coloured glasses for a while and he likely wants Dream Group because that is what his Mom gave him up for. He probably even feels some resentment towards Seo Rin because she is the child that Hwa Yeong chose to raise. He will hate the Chairman because Hwa Yeong told him that Chairman made is hard for her to look for him.
So Jun Ho working with Hwa Yeong is par for the course. Things will change as he starts to heal and the truth starts to be revealed to him- then he will remember the lessons that his adoptive parents taught him and will return to them. I think he will end up rejecting and denouncing Hwa Yeong as his mother.
I wonder where the story will go from here- it seems like it's stagnating now. Sure, Hwa Yeong and Jun Ho have…
Hwa Yeong even threatened Jang Mi's mother on the phone but Jang Mi thinks she is the one in power ππ. She didn't even warn Tae Pyeong to be more carefulπ€¦πΎββοΈ.
I hope Hwa Yeong discovers this week that Seo Rin is actually the one who was hurt and that Jang Mi is the person…
That would be such an interesting spin- having Hwa Yeong and Jang Mi openly challenge each other- it will make things much more interesting. It would be even more complicated if Seo Rin wakes up and all she remembers is her mother, "Hwa Yeong", and wants to be with her. But she would be too fragile to be told the truth- that would certainly make things so much harder for Jang Mi as she would be forced to allow Hwa Yeong to meet with Seo Rin.
well, tides just turn in favor of hwayoung now that she has something to blackmail yeom san wol for. i dunno how…
I wonder where the story will go from here- it seems like it's stagnating now. Sure, Hwa Yeong and Jun Ho have finally talked about her being his bio-Mom and Jang Mi knows too, but other than being shocked, that information really does not help Jang Mi right now. What will she do with it- aside from having more grounds to reject Jun Ho, for herself and for Seo Rin? But even that is tricky because it will continue to make Hwa Yeong suspicious. Even Baek Ho would not know how to use the revelation to their advantage without him willingly hurting his brother and his family.
Hwa Yeong is back to normal again- she even has extra time to continue testing 'Seo Rin', and has been given a gift in that she can now build up her relationship with her son. The evidence is not any closer to being found. San Wol and Hong Ju have been neutralised so everyone has hit a wall regarding their plans to take down Hwa Yeong. But San Wol finally finding the flash will give her the upper hand over Hwa Yeong.
Something big needs to happen to move the story again and I think the ball is in Hwa Yeong's court. Unless San Wol discovers the flash first. Or maybe Jang Mi will tell her Grandpa that Jun Ho is Hwa Yeong's sonπ€·πΎββοΈ. That would be a good idea.
And yes- Baek Ho and Jang Mi are having far too much fun, especially in the officeπ€¦πΎββοΈ. Their recklessness will cost them, eventually. Right now they are riding high thinking they can outsmart Hwa Yeong. And their few small victories have emboldened them further. Such pride often leads to complacency.
I can't believe they just leave Suk Hee alone at the store- it is so easy for Hwa Yeong to kidnap her.
I really enjoy watching San Wol and Hong Juπππ. They have great mother-daughter chemistry. I hope Hong Ju will give up on Baek Ho now, especially after being embarrassed by Hwa Yeong like that.
Baek Ho has now taken to threatening Hwa Yeong so openly- really unwise.
The use of eavesdropping to reveal secrets is now underwhelming. Half the fun is in trying to solve the puzzle and the near misses. I doubt Jang Mi even went to the photo studio.
What will Jang Mi do after finding out about Jun Ho and Hwa Yeong?- no doubt it will make her oppose the marriage even more. At least she knows that Jun Ho knows. It remains to be seen if Jun Ho will let go of his anger and be loyal to his Mom, his blood, and foil any plans Jang Mi and Baek Ho have to take her down, or will he be disgusted by Hwa Yeong's actions when the truth is finally revealed. He is Hwa Yeong's Achilles heel, something Jang Mi said they need. So taking him to the hospital to see Seo Rin will help. But things will never be that simple. It would have been easier to use Jun Ho if he did not know Hwa Yeong's identity.
The wedding thing is also really easy to solve- Jang Mi can tell her Grandpa that she likes Baek Ho now and wants to marry him. The Chairman will agree because he likes Baek Ho- he even invited him to dinner last week. The Chairman does not like Jun Ho because he is Hwa Yeong's recommendation. He hates anything Hwa Yeong suggests.
Surprised you're watching this, my friend. Hong-Ju ain't even a real antagonist, neither is her bummy mother.…
π€£π€£π€£ I was saying last week how I felt duped by the show because the promotional video, synopsis and articles about the show spoke about an intense revenge plot where Jang Mi would lose herself in the revenge. So it has not lived up to that. And after watching the FL in Queen's House, l was expecting the same kind of intensity or for her to take it up a notch.
But on Friday's episode, when Jang Mi was threatening Hwa Yeong, she said something like how she is willing to go to the pits of hell with Hwa Yeong in order to get her revenge. Maybe it will still happen or maybe she was just trying scare Hwa Yeongπ€·ββοΈ. Hopefully, it's foreshadowing.
So there is a Chloe Lee- James' real daughter. James said she disappeared in the mountains and he thinks she is dead. I think she is alive and will make a reappearance. She might cause problems for Jin Ju, especially since Jin Ju has taken over her identity and James loves her like a daughter. So she will feel like she has been replaced. I hope they bring her back at least half way through the show and not towards the end. It will be fun watching her fight both Yu Na and Jin Ju. Hopefully, she comes back on her own and will not be brought by Yu Na to sabotage Jin Ju.
Yu Na is going to bust a blood vessel soon, being so damn angry 24/7.
Things are going sideways for her pretty quickly. I wonder how she will get herself out of this π€£π€£π€£. I'm just glad that Jeong Ran is not trying to force Hyun Jun to marry her.
Jang Mi fell back into her habit of dismissing things out of hand when it came to that being a picture of Hwa…
She will probably figure it out the same way Hwa Yeong did- via the tattoo. I guess it's something Baek Ho should not know yet. She will likely keep it a secret from Baek Ho when she eventually finds out. But, even if she finds out now, how will the information help her? She won't know if Jun Ho knows who his birth mother is, unless he informs her that he has identified her. But before that, he needs to be comfortable enough with her to tell her that he is adopted. For that to happen, she needs to get close to him, something she has been avoiding. And it's not like she can say, "hey, want to help me take down your birth mother?". On top of that, if she finds out that he knows about Hwa Yeong, it will indicate to her that he was still willing to marry her even though she could potentially have been his sister. How will he address that? It's really complicated.
I don't know how they are going to do it, but it's time Baek Ho and Jang Mi let Jun Ho in on what is really going…
I want Jun Ho to know too and Baek Ho should tell him everything- including about the affair. He might, if he fears the wedding will actually go through.
Baek Ho started writing some things about Hwa Yeong and Jang Mi's family in his diary a few episodes ago. If Jun Ho can accidentally find that diary and read it, that could help.
I think Ahjumma might have swapped the DNA samples and the results will show that Hwa Yeong and 'Seo Rin' are…
Hong Ju must have mentioned Suk Hee's favourite topic- Jang Mi. And from the preview, Suk Hee seems to already like Hong Ju- maybe she will like her the same way she likes Baek Ho and will say how pretty Hong Ju is. Maybe she thinks Hong Ju will make a good daughter-in-law ππ.
I think Ahjumma might have swapped the DNA samples and the results will show that Hwa Yeong and 'Seo Rin' are…
Son's instinct- definitely- but I think that will go away when he finds out about all her crimes. I hope he learns of the affair soon. Unfortunately, because he is normally so distant, no one in his family has noticed that there is something going on with him πͺπͺ.
Yes- Baek Ho will never let the marriage proceed, no matter how much Jang Mi loses. I don't think he will want her to use his brother, either. So it will be complicated- hopefully, we get some good progress before episode 80. At least it looks like Seo Rin is waking up. But why did the nurse call Baek Ho and not Jang Mi?
Is Baek Ho driving away like that a good sign? Will he be followed?
Why would San Wol show Tae Pyung a picture that was 'illegally' taken in his home? Tae Pyung can easily lie and say it's not Jang Mi.
I think Ahjumma might have swapped the DNA samples and the results will show that Hwa Yeong and 'Seo Rin' are…
Jun Ho will have to overcome his mother's blood that is running through his veins, but first, he has to make some bad decisions before he gets there and finds peace. In trying to get revenge on Hwa Yeong, he risks hurting the people around her who have done nothing wrongπͺ. And will he truly be able to get revenge? His dilemma is similar to Seo Rin's. Seo Rin could not bring herself to bring down the woman who raised her, which is why she wanted Jang Mi to do it.
But since it looks like the marriage is back on the table and Jang Mi is about uncover his identity, if they do get married, they will enter into it with goals that are aligned and they will want to use each other.
I hope Jang Mi can resist the urge to continue provoking Hwa Yeong- but she cannot help herself. This will not end well.
Bravo to actor portraying Jun HoππΌπ he was the true MVP of ep 71. I was impressed. He truly seemed like…
Seo Rin is now more isolated than everπͺ. It's not safe for anyone to visit her- the entire family is basically being watched. Actually, everyone is being watched now- Baek Ho, Jang Mi, San Wol and Hong Ju tooπππ. Hwa Yeong is a force. Maybe Ahjumma went to visit Seo Rin. She is the only one who can go.
The number of people who have said, " CEO Chae, I will never forgive you"ππππ.
Jun Ho was really good in this episode- I hope we get to see more of his arc. At least he acknowledges how vile and cruel Hwa Yeong is.
Why was Jang Mi pretending to be herself in a wheelchair? Is she trying to record a confession out of Hwa Yeong…
Ohh- explains why she was pushing for San Wol to go to the hospital in the previous episode. She should just send a secret text to Hong Ju with the location of the new hospital, and room number.
The whole family knowing is not a good thing. Why did Tae Pyung stay behind and confront her? Not a clever move.…
I don't want Tae Pyung to die- what will San Wol do about her crush? ππ. Also, Jang Mi's family has lost a lot already- if Tae Pyung is not there, how will they survive, emotionally? Tae Pyung is Suk Hee's primary caregiver right now, and Tae Sook is not patient enough. Will Tae Pyung's death have enough of an impact on Jang Mi to get serious? Her Dad's death did not get her there. The family also has to take care of Seo Rin and I think Tae Pyung will need to be there for that.
I doubt Hwa Yeong will inform Jun Ho that Seo Rin is actually Jang Mi.
The phone will not be given to the police. What could happen to prevent this? Hwa Yeong has the police in her pocket, though. Could Hwa Yeong get Jun Ho to steal it from Baek Ho?
For now, it looks like Hwa Yeong knows about the switch. I wonder how she will use the information to her advantage. Now she knows something about Jang Mi and Jang Mi knows something about her.

Jun Ho might want to get revenge by taking everything away from Hwa Yeong. The best revenge, though, would be to just walk away from her.
These small victories might make Jang Mi and Baek Ho complacent and drop their guard. Provoking a wounded animal like that is never a good thing.
