I get that you hate the ML, but at least he's not getting in the way of Jang-Mi's revenge. And to be fair Jang-Mi…
Not about hating the character- just trying to turn this drama into an actual revenge drama and not just a romance drama. Jang Mi needs incentive to actually get her revenge journey going. Otherwise it will be more of the same for the next 50 episodes. She is already tired and wants out. A trigger is needed to make her stay. Or to even consider marrying Jun Ho. She would never want to break Baek Ho's heart like that nor deceive his brother. She just does not have it her.
Was just thinking of the number of U.S. shows that kill off their main characters seasons later- certainly makes for great shock value.
Of course the Chairman will protect the company's stock at all costsπ. At least Hwa Yeong lost one percent of her shares to the woman she despises. That's the only victory Baek Ho and Jang Mi can claim here.
Hwa Yeong is the queen of gaslighting. She fooled the Professor so easily- I hope Jun Ho will be able to see past it. Jun Ho needs someone to talk to- like a friend. That will be a great 'in' for Jang Mi, especially if she wants to use him to get back at Hwa Yeong.
Hong Ju is really sharp- she already figured out that Seo Rin might have been stolen- now she just needs to secretly do DNA tests of Hwa Yeong, 'Seo Rin' and Chairman Ma. But it will be hard with Ahjumma watching her every move.
Jang Mi is just not bright- she heard Hwa Yeong say that the Chairman cannot find out about Jang Mi so Jang Mi should just take Seo Rin to the Chairman and reveal everythingπ€¦πΎββοΈ . And Jang Mi is parking her car out in the open like that- Hwa Yeong and Manager Lee know her license plate number π€¦πΎββοΈ.
Does Baek Ho have a death wish? He wants to follow Manager Lee around? Does he really think that they are still holding the mechanic and why would they still be visiting him? They got what they wanted from him already. So his line of thinking is not making any sense. But honestly, if the writers were planning to kill off Baek Ho at this point (or incapacitate him for a while), they have laid the groundwork and it would make for a great plot twist. The repercussions would make for great story telling: 1) His death would devastate Jang Mi and will make her more invested in revenge- to the point where she might be willing to use Jun Ho to do it. Then the title, 'First Man,' would make far more sense- her first man's death will drive her to lose herself in revenge. And this way, Jang Mi's family will not lose anyone else. 2) The Professor would continue being in love with Hwa Yeong, not knowing that she is the one who killed his son. Watching Hwa Yeong continuing to manipulate him would be interesting, and the regret he will have when he eventually finds out. Then he will remember how Baek Ho tried to warn him. 3) Young Ja finding out about the affair and finding out that her husband's lover murdered their son- she will want revenge. 3) Jun Ho finding out that his bio-Mom not only kidnapped a baby, but she murdered Jang Mi's Dad and his brother. That will be great emotional material for him.
But Baek Ho is the male lead so the writers will not kill him off, especially this early.
Lastly, did they really need to show us the kiss again? The writers are going overboard.
Poor Jun Ho πͺ. Such a wounded soul. He acts so cold but really, he has a fragile heart and has put up walls…
Yep π€£π€£. I feel really duped- the writers sold us a revenge drama but what we got is a romance drama which basically the adult version of the movie, The Parent Trap π€£π€£π€£π€£. Why are they laying the romance on so thick? Sometimes, less is more.
Poor Jun Ho πͺ. Such a wounded soul. He acts so cold but really, he has a fragile heart and has put up walls…
Yes, Jang Mi needs another trigger- she is far too comfortable. I thought that maybe the trigger would have happened today- maybe Seo Rin dying. But I don't think Seo Rin's death is enough of a trigger, anyway- Jang Mi does not yet have deep emotional ties to her. If Seo Rin had died in the accident, I don't think Jang Mi would have responded any differently. She would be doing the same thing she is today- over-celebrating small wins and pursuing romanceππ.
A major trigger would be losing Suk Hee- that would rock her entire world. If Baek Ho was not the male lead, I would have suspected that the writers were planning to kill him off- that would rock Jang Mi's world to the core too. If they are planning on going that way, the writers have laid a good foundation, especially with the heavy focus on their romance- they even replayed their kiss in today's episode. The writers are really laying it on really thickππ. But it's also a sign that something is about to go wrong with their romance. Then Baek Ho, unwittingly, told the enemy that he suspects her of murder so she knows he is investigating her. And he told his Dad too ππΎββοΈ. Not smart for a lawyer- and he had put himself in the line of danger. Now he wants to follow Manager Lee around ππΎββοΈ.
They keep mentioning grandpa's blood pressure. I hope we are not looking at him going into a coma also.
I don't think anything will happen to him because if he is incapacitated, Hwa Yeong will kick Hong Ju and San Wol out of the house immediately. Unless they find a way to blackmail Hwa Yeong. Hong Ju and San Wol also need to stay in the house because they provide a much needed buffer between Jang Mi and Hwa Yeong. I don't think Jang Mi wants to be in that house alone with Hwa Yeong. Also, if the Chairman is incapacitated, 'Seo Rin' will have to take charge of the company but since she has no skills, Hwa Yeong will take over, giving her a major win. She can do a lot of damage in that time.
I am in for Hyun Jun and I feel like she will end up with him. The moment Min Jinβs Dad kill her Dad the line…
Yeah- he might be but he has been raised by Tae Ho and Tae Ho is the only father he knows. I wonder why Tae Ho never did a DNA test on Hyun Jun. Or why Dan Hui was never suspicious about it.
Hyun Jun has another problem- his mother murdered Min Jun's biological mother so both his parents are murderers. The brothers' relationship is going to be strained πͺ.
The professor's wife is so stupid! You're a divorce lawyer, a renowned one. Don't you realize that affairs happen,…
Poor Jun Ho πͺ. Such a wounded soul. He acts so cold but really, he has a fragile heart and has put up walls due to being abandoned. He believes that he might have been different and carefree if he had been raised by his birth parents. I guess part of his journey will be discovering that this is not necessarily true and he ended up being in a better place because Hwa Yeong did not raise him. And he will come to truly appreciate his adoptive family and understand that his parents love him as much as they love Baek Ho, or even more. He is a child of their heart, like Nam Bong said.
Jang Mi will probably just tell Baek Ho about the picture and they will work together to figure out who the kid is. It will become complicated for Baek Ho because Hwa Yeong is his brother's biological mother so it will change how he chooses to approach the revenge. It would be sad if Jang Mi uses Jun Ho's vulnerability for her revenge, but it would be exciting and would show that Jang Mi is invested in this revenge. But she already told Baek Ho that she wants out of the revenge and wants to go home to be with her Mom. Will this revelation make her stay? I cannot believe she is tired of the revenge only after 19 episodes and 3 pranks on Hwa Yeong ππ. She is not serious . Then Baek Ho told her she can rest now because he will basically take over πππ.
I feel bad for him. I could really see in his eyes that he's offended and broken. No one knows what he'll do to…
I am glad he knows now rather than chasing false hope. He knows where he stands and she will have to be the one to make the next move, if she is interested in him.
What if Seo Rim falls in love with Baek Ho's and his voice???
Entirely possible but the writers seem to want to avoid such complicated and messy situations. Even after Baek Ho found out that Jang Mi was posing as Seo Rin, he realised that he had been holding Seo Rin's hand in the hospital all along, but he just brushed it off like nothing happened. So we are yet to see if there will be any repercussions because of that or the writers will just pretend that it never happened π€·πΎββοΈ. But we still have 50 episodes to go so anything is possible.
I am in for Hyun Jun and I feel like she will end up with him. The moment Min Jinβs Dad kill her Dad the line…
It is also tricky with Hyun Jun because Tae Ho is his Dad too. At least Hyun Jun has made his intentions known to Chloe this early so he has a chance. But does he like Chloe for Chloe or does he like Chloe because she looks like Jin Ju? The person he actually likes is Jin Ju.
Myeong Hui is willing to marry her son(nephew) off to some psycho who is so unstable she might kill him in his…
Yep- she should just tell him the truth so he is a willing participant. The way she gets scared when Min Jun defies his Dad π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ.
She does not even know that Adele was stolen from the Chairman's first wife's family. The company she is trying to take over is stolenπ€¦ββοΈ. What will happen if that family comes for it?
Chloe did Hyun Jun dirty- using him like that. I am glad he picked up on it and called her out. I am rooting for Hyun Jun and Chloe, even though it's highly unlikely that it will happen, since she is in love with his brother. Min Jun and Chloe have a lot against them, though, especially with his Dad murdering her Dad and attempting to murder her.
another great episode! i love seeing hwayoung get so agitated! good job yeom san wol for fighting back. i love…
I hope Hong Ju took a picture of 'Jang Mi' at least. Hong Ju has eavesdropped on Hwa Yeong a few times and never understood what she was referring to. Hwa Yeong might have even mentioned Jang Mi and her Dad once too while Hong Ju was eavesdropping. So hopefully, she will start piecing everything together, and finding the flash will be the icing on the cake.
The Jun Ho arc is going to be really interesting and I hope the writers will do it right. If he finds out that Hwa Yeong is his bio-Mom, he will be disgusted that she has been trying to get him to marry her daughter, whom he will assume is his sister. He might go for a few episodes actually believing that 'Seo Rin' is his sister- the trauma of believing you are attracted to your sister π§. How will Hwa Yeong explain raising a child who is not hers, biologically, but pretending that she is? She cannot say that Seo Rin is adopted. And she cannot tell him that she stole a baby. It will be really messy. And if he finds out about Hwa Yeong soon, the whole marriage idea will be taken off the table.
If Jang Mi finds out about Jun Ho and Hwa Yeong, I don't know if she will be able to use the information properly. She still has her head in the clouds and is too busy enjoying being in love.
I think Jun Ho will renounce Hwa Yeong in the end. He will get to tell her that she abandoned him first and now it's his turn to abandon her. That will be nail that will seal Hwa Yeong's coffin, essentially.
I am worried about Jun Ho too. He has so many wounds in his heart and I want him to have a good and happy ending.…
Yes- Jun Ho has a lot of challenges ahead and he still needs to heal and figure out the kind of man he wants to become, after finding out about Hwa Yeong. His bio-dad might still show up too- he has a lot of story ahead.
It would be great if Jun Ho finds out about the switch before he falls more in love with Jang Mi. Otherwise, it would not be fair to Seo Rin to be with a man who is really in love with her twin. If he can find Seo Rin early and help her to recover, it would better. Hopefully, Hong Ju tells him that Jang Mi looks like Seo Rin.
The twin's bio-dad will probably reunite with Suk Hee and take care of her in the end.
what a good episode!baek ho's treatment of his father would be awkward and hostile from now on. i mean, serves…
I am worried about Jun Ho too. He has so many wounds in his heart and I want him to have a good and happy ending. The writers have not focussed too much on him yet and more than half-way through the show, we are still unsure of who he is at his core. I hope he can fight the nurture vs nature argument and will not turn out to be like his bio-Mom. The synopsis describes him as someone with a stoic exterior but fragile heart. I hope they remain true to this. Plus, his life is possibly in danger- Manager Lee is not too happy about his existence.
If Hwa Yeong finds out that 'Seo Rin' now likes Baek Ho, she might influence Jun Ho into pursuing Jang Mi even harder and to be ambitious and not lose 'Seo Rin' or Dream Group. But Jang Mi has her Grandpaβs backing, so she cannot to forced into a relationship unless she is a willing participant. Will fear that Hwa Yeong might harm Baek Ho drive her to marry Jun Ho? At least the good thing is that Jun Ho's developing feelings for Jang Mi are real and not because he wants to run Dream.
In any case, I think the relationship between the brothers will be good in the end.
As for Hong Ju finding out- it's a very exciting move on the part of the writers. The show needs a jolt of excitement and to give Jang Mi and Baek Ho more to do- they seem to have too much time on their hands. So what will Hong Ju do? I hope she calls 'Seo Rin' while still at the hospital to confirm that there are two of them. Then a DNA test? The fact that there is another heir is bad news for her but maybe she will realise that Hwa Yeong might have kidnapped one of the twins? Will she tell Jun Ho? Or blackmail Hwa Yeong or Jang Mi or Baek Ho? So many possibilities. I wonder if someone will walk in while Hong Ju is in Seo Rin's room? Maybe Tae Pyung?
Was just thinking of the number of U.S. shows that kill off their main characters seasons later- certainly makes for great shock value.
Hwa Yeong is the queen of gaslighting. She fooled the Professor so easily- I hope Jun Ho will be able to see past it.

Maybe Jang Mi will find Hwa Yeong's phone.
Great move by the Chairman to give San Wol one percent of Hwa Yeong's sharesπ.
