I don't think he could have given any other explanation that made sense. He was told to say he picked it up on the corridor floor- if anyone else had found it, they would have just taken it to reception or given it back to Manager Na. There would have been no reason for that person to give it to Hyeon Jae. That would have made Eun Seol suspicious. He also could not just leave it on her desk, anonymously, because Hae Ra or Mi Ran or someone else might have picked it.

Telling Eun Seol that he got it from Seok Jin would reveal to her that he revealed her business to Seok Jin, which she might not have liked.

So, in my view,
Hyeon Jae is only guilty of following Seok Jin's instructions to a tee. He had no hidden agenda. Seok Jin can always reveal that he got the book from Manager Na, and he will probably say that he asked Hyeon Jae not to tell her. Hyeon Jae would confirm this.

Maybe Seok Jin should have just posted it to her, anonymously. But then she would start spending time on trying to figure out who posted it- time needed for other things.

Let me give Seok Jin the benefit of the doubt. It would be a terrible move to dump Hae Ra in the middle of a shoe launch so maybe he is planning to dump her after the successful launch of the shoe line? That way, he becomes invaluable to the company and cannot be easily kicked out.

Seok Jin asked him not to tell her that it came from him.

Seok Jin is one stressed out guy. He seems ambitious- he wants to take over Cheongma and the only way to do that right now, is by marrying Hae Ra. So he needs to decide whether to continue pursuing Cheongma or to pursue Eun Seol- he cannot have them both. He cannot go from almost kissing Eun Seol in the storage room to walking out of there with Hae Ra on his arm. Eun Seol should have some self-respect too- I know she is caught up in first love bliss but she needs to ask Seok Jin if they have a future. As it stands, I don't think they do because Seok Jin is not ready to let go of his dream just yet. I am glad Hyeon Jae reminded Seok Jin that he is engaged and so his feelings towards Eun Seol are half-hearted and they will only hurt her. Maybe that is foreshadowing? When it comes to Seok Jin, Eun Seol loses all the wisdom she gained in prison😂😂.

I am also glad that Hyeon Jae saw that Eun Seol likes Seok Jin and he had an honest conversation with Eun Seol, telling her to forget that he has feelings for her. And Eun
Seol confirmed, again, that she does not have any romantic feelings for him. But he still wants to protect her and if Seok Jin was not engaged, I don't think he would have confronted him. He would have stepped aside and left them to be together.

Jeong Seon and Eun Seol are both allergic to eggs whites- I hope they remember this in the future. I guess they will continue finding out just how similar they are as the show progresses. Jeong Seon treats Eun Seol like a daughter, and ignores Hae Ra😂.

At the rate Yeong Hun is going, Eun Seol's bio-parents will be divorced by the time the truth is revealed. I wonder if Yeong Hun is good at grovelling. Or Jeong Seon can get together with Gi Han😂😂. But they are both far too passive- it won't work😂😂.

Thanks

😭😭😭
And next week? Any breaks?

That will be the best revenge for Grandma- her precious grandson whom she raised, falling for an older woman who has a child out of wedlock 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

I honestly don't get what Eun Seol is thinking. This whole thing is cheapening the romance. It feels more like lust than love and it feels like they are teenagers and not adults- they are continuing from where they left off 10 years ago.
Also, is she pursuing him only because she likes him or she is also trying to get back at Hae Ra? She did tell Hyeon Jae that she does not know what is going on with her because she feels like she is changing and when someone wrongs her, she wants to get revenge. So maybe she is slowly evolving into a grey character?

In any case, if her relationship with Seok Jin continues on this current trajectory, I don't think it's built to last.

Yeah- he has to choose. If he chooses Eun Seol, Yeong Hun might fire him or he will be thrown out of the family circle. But maybe Jeong Seon can plead with Yeong Hun to let him stay. Also, Seok Jin dumping Hae Ra for his subordinate is not a good look for him.

If he dumps Hae Ra now, we won't see what plans Mi Ran had for his Mom. That needs to play out first.

Hopefully, we find out what his original plans were, soon.

Seok Jin is OTT. He had a one tteokbokki lunch date with Eun Seol when they were teenagers. Because of his heartbreak over her not communicating, he has not eaten it in 10 years?😹😹😹😹

The writers are going full steam ahead with the Seok Jin- Eun Seol romance but I don't think Seok Jin will be able to untangle himself from the Kang family just yet. It seems like Yeong Hun is starting to accept him as Hae Ra's partner- how will he dump her? But Eun Seol seems so desperate to have him that I don't think she would mind an affair, for a little while. Does she know that they are engaged? This might be where their romance hits a snag- he might refuse to dump Hae Ra.

Secondly, Mi Ran will start asking Seok Jin to do underhanded things- I wonder if she is blackmailing him🤔. If he does this for Mi Ran now, she will task him with other things too. If Eun Seol finds out, she will be disappointed in him. Worse still, he might start enjoying using underhanded methods to get what he wants. He does have that kind of a personality.

Hae Ra- Seok Jin does not care about you- he didn't even look for you after you lost the competition😂😂😂. He didn't communicate with you all day🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
I do feel bad for Hae Ra because Jeong Seon was never able to bond with her. I think Jeong Seon's adoptive Mom might have been similar- she was being forced to adopt a child.
But Jeong Seon is so warm towards Eun Seol. She even reaches out to touch her. I have not seen her do that with Hae Ra. Mi Ran can see what the lack of motherly love is doing to her daughter and she is not amused.

I wish Eun Seol had told Hyeon Jae that she
likes someone else so he can move on. Telling someone that you don't see them romantically gives them hope that you might change your mind some day. I do like that, in the preview, Hyeon Jae reminds Seok Jin that he's engaged😂. Does Seok Jin want to have his cake and eat it too?
But I do think Hyeon Jae still has a shot because the Seok Jin- Eun Seol relationship is starting far too early. This only means that they will have serious challenges ahead.

Yeong Hun- why are you disappointing me? Falling for Mi Ran so easily. Eun Seol needs to save her bio-Daddy from himself. Maybe Grandma will divert Mi Ran's attention for a while, giving Yeong Hun a chance to come to his senses.

I hope it's the latter- very clever of the writers to leave us wondering. Eun Seol is still investigating her mother's case, so it's possible. But Eun Seol did leave her laptop unlocked after Hae Ra asked her why she was smiling- so I don't have a lot of hope that Eun Seol is actually playing Mi Ran. Unless she left her laptop open on purpose, knowing that Hae Ra would snoop through her messages.

I can't believe that Grandma got Mi Ran's name so easily- it will be easier to find her now.

Why couldn't Eun Seol get the presentation from her laptop? Surely, it's backed up there.
I hope Seok Jin figures out that Hae Ra is the one who threw away the flash drive and I hope Eun Seol will tell people that she was locked up. It looks like she will win the competition so she is slowly gaining recognition in the company.
The way Jeong Seon was anxious for Eun Seol during her presentation 🥰🥰.

Hae Ra is so entitled- she wondered when Eun Seol did all that work. She was busy messing around and going on dates with Seok Jin, instead of working. She even had two people helping her while Eun Seol didn't. It's called hard work 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️.

Hae Ra is about to become even more unhinged and will definitely disappoint Seok Jin some more. Hopefully, she gets dumped soon.

It looks like Hyeon Jae will confess his feelings to Eun Seol in the next episode- good to do it early so she can tell him that she likes Seok Jin and then he can move on....for now, without getting too heartbroken 💔.

Didn't anyone from Eun Seol's family look for her when she didn't come home or communicate? Or even Hyeon Jae? Upon learning that she didn't make it home, he would have turned Cheongma upside down to look for her. This was uncharacteristic of him. I guess the writers wanted to give Seok Jin a moment to shine.

I hope Eun Seol will make Mi Ran pay dearly for making a fool out of her- befriending her Mom's enemy☹️.

Mi Ran was wondering how to get close to Eun Seol in order to tame her. Maybe Grandma might be the solution. If Grandma succeeds in locating Ae Sook, Mi Ran can simply pretend to be Eun Seol's mother- a surefire way to gain Eun Seol's trust and loyalty. It would drive Hae Ra mad, though 😂😂😂😂.

With the Seok Jin looking at her like that and patting her head, it will be hard to let him go. She really likes him and does not have any romantic feelings for Hyeon Jae yet, so I think she needs to see this crush through if she is to to start seeing Hyeon Jae in a different light.

If she ends up with Seok Jin, I hope Hyeon Jae reads the room quickly so he does not fall any deeper.

Definitely hard to choose between the two MLs. Seok Jin saved her life and she has a 10-year crush on him. Hyeon Jae has been by her side during those 10 years. He has seen her at her worst, even with that suicide attempt, and helped her to get out and has supported her since. So hard to choose🙆‍♂️.

Yeah. If Grandma is shown a picture of Ae Sook, she might remember seeing her at Eun Seol's ceremony.
Or maybe, Eun Seol will invite her Mom's high school friend over for dinner. Would Mi Ran agree to go?

In hindsight- Mi Ran is actually in the clear with Grandma, if Grandma is able to identify her. Since the DNA won't match, Grandma will be forced to let it go. The only issue is that Grandma will know her real name, which can get complicated if it ends up reaching Jeong Seon.

A coma would be a great idea. But I think maybe Mi Ran will pay her off to keep her quiet and not tell anyone in her family about it, including Eun Seol.
Maybe we should be thankful that Grandma will be tightening the noose around Mi Ran's neck, even if it's just for her own greed. Eun Seol has no interest in finding her birth mom anytime soon.

In a way, Mi Ran is unwittingly doing to Hae Ra what was done to her at the orphanage, but over 27 years. She has given Hae Ra the promise of a new and exciting life, filled with opportunities, which will be ripped out from under her after the switch is revealed. Hae Ra will be rejected and replaced by the real heiress.
Of course, Jeong Seon and Yeong Hun will want to keep Hae Ra as their daughter but I think Hae Ra will choose Mi Ran over them, in the end.

It actually would be sad for Hae Ra for her Mom not to have a real connection with her. Because, at the hospital, she was so happy holding her baby- but she was holding Eun Seol at that time. Maybe after the switch, she noticed something different about the baby. But she could have done a DNA test. Anyway, something must have changed for her that made her detach from Hae Ra, besides her busy acting schedule.

The CEO is behaving uncharacteristically, especially after the way he called out Hae Ra for cheating in the high school art contest and for plaigiarising overseas. Good to see that Jeong Seon knows what he's like.

A definite possibility and Hae Ra will flip out. To keep up the ruse, Mi Ran will have to spend more time with Eun Seol and her family, and Hae Ra will get so angry. Eun Seol might also be invited over to the house a lot by Jeong Seon. On top of that, Mi Ran might be forced to side with Eun Seol over Hae Ra in some instances, making Hae Ra even madder. She might lose Hae Ra's trust during this period.
Hae Ra will feel like she is losing a lot of things at that point- Seok Jin, Jeong Seon and Mi Ran. All to Eun Seol 😂😂. She might become murderous.

I think the CEO was asking Mi Ran how she got the footage of his friend.
