Tae Sook is the one who ran away with the money.
It's interesting that the detective called Jang Mi about Bok Gil's accident and not Tae Pyung. Is Jang Mi listed as Bok Gil's next of kin and not Tae Pyung? If so, it shows how irresponsible Bok Gil thinks he is 😂

Yes- Baek Ho has literally planted himself in the family and believes that hanging around Jang Mi will make her like him- he crosses so many boundaries and on Monday's episode, he even threatened to move in 🤦‍♀️. He needs to give her space but refuses to do so. How can he be so in love with someone he met less than a month ago? There is nothing romantic about this love story at all because Baek Ho is now just annoying, and is prone to telling little lies to get his way. He is so blinded by love that he is acting irrationally. And Jang Mi's inexperience will make her think that he is super-romantic and she does not know how to set boundaries.

The writers should have given us a slow-burn romance. In many of the shows I have watched, I am always disappointed because we don't get enough screen time for the main couple so any time they are together, it's exciting. But in First Man- the scenes are far too many and this early in the show.

I hope, in the end, Jang Mi will go overseas to become a Michelin chef and consider any romance, after that. She needs to be independent and self-reliant, first.

I am also fed up with him. Yes- he should not have been there in that moment. And then when Suk Hee had that episode while she was sleeping- those are private family moments- he has no business being there. A sane person would have just left to give the family some privacy.
But no- he hangs around. Even when truth about Bok Gil not being her biological father came out- it looks like he hung around for hours because when Jang Mi finally came out of the house, he followed her.
The more I think about, the more he is starting to feel like a stalker. But the problem is that the Oh family enables him- they cannot believe that this lawyer actually wants to spend time with them so they let him do whatever he wants.

Yeah- he should keep that wrench and blackmail her with it in the future.

😂 this is true- I am honestly not rooting for them as a couple- the writers managed to ruin the romance for me- and at only 30 episodes 🤣🤣. They should have given us a slow-burn romance- it might have been more palatable.

The revenge- if Nam Bong only gets a slap on the wrist, then I think Baek Ho will lose his own personal reason for partaking in the revenge and we will be back to him just doing it for Jang Mi.
I wondered if Manager Lee might plant the wrench in the Professor's car to frame him, out of spite, but it has Hwa Yeong's fingerprints.
Manager Lee should keep the wrench and use it to blackmail Hwa Yeong in the future.

The Professor is far too calm and blasé about hitting someone with his car. No matter who was at fault, the feeling of running someone over and possibly killing them would haunt a person for a while. Now I think that if Hwa Yeong had asked him to dispose of the body, he would have helped her.

Nam Bong's wife might represent him in court and I don't think it will bode well for Oh family and they will be hurt. Hopefully, the doctors checked Bok Gil's blood alcohol levels.

Jun Ho might see Jang Mi if he goes to the hospital or police station.

I think Jun Ho's life might be in danger if Manager Lee figures out who he is. Manager Lee finally has Hwa Yeong all to himself again and Jun Ho's existence jeopardises that.

There are bits and pieces of evidence of Hwa Yeong's crimes everywhere- Jang Mi has to put the pieces together.
I hope the Professor will recall that Hwa Yeong said the man he hit was drunk.

I liked the music that the Professor played just before he hit Bok Gil- that was a good scence.

I was annoyed when Tae Pyung called Baek Ho. When he said he can't sit around and do nothing- I thought he was going to call the police 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. He and Baek Ho are the same age but Tae Pyung acts like he cannot make his own decisions and has to rely on others.

The writers and Baek Ho- this is overkill- he is so intricately involved with a family he just met. Now it's like the family cannot function without him.

That will very likely be the ending😂- she will go mad, especially if Jun Ho helps to take her down and refuses to forgive her, or acknowledge her.

I guess many writers believe that that level of evil requires some level of insanity- no sane person can do such things.

Wow- Bok Gil is dead already?
I am not surprised about Nam Bong- he was becoming far too clingy and would have become a problem for Hwa Yeong. Is it Manage Lee's idea or Hwa Yeong's? But for Hwa Yeong to set up the person who raised her son- cruel.

At least now we will have a why for why Baek Ho will join the revenge plot- he needs his own reason. But it's messy- it is now assumed that his Dad killed Jang Mi's Dad- a major hurdle for the couple, for now.

How many weeks before Jang Mi figures out the truth?

This move elevates Hwa Yeong to an extra level of villainy- which is much needed. She is the main villain and she has not been acting like one for a while so this is a good move by the writers.

🤣

Hwa Yeong is not the sharpest tool in the shed. She is so focussed on finding Ha Neul that she has not realised that Jun Ho and Baek Ho are brothers- and since Baek Ho likes Jang Mi, he might introduce her to his brother. So the chances of Jun Ho meeting Jang Mi have increased.

And then she thanked Jun Ho for growing up so well without a Mom- more specifically, her as his Mom. Jun Ho already has a Mom and he did not raise himself- but again, she is overlooking that.

Poor Manager Lee is so blinded by love that he cannot tell that Hwa Yeong is gaslighting him🤣🤣🤣. I would have suggested that San Wol try seducing him to get dirt on Hwa Yeong but Manager Lee only has eyes for Hwa Yeong🤣🤣🤣🤣. Poor soul😂.

Seo Rin just needs to meet one person in the shop- Suk Hee or Tae Pyung or Tae Sook🙏. And Hwa Yeong is distracted by Bok Gil- so she won't notice what Seo Rin is up to. Hopefully, it happens. But....going by past events... maybe not tomorrow. Seo Rin will probably find the shop closed, maybe because they all would have gone to look for Bok Gil.

Seo Rin will probably get caught up in her excitement about Jun Ho's promotion and forget about Jang Mi for a while.

Yeah- I don't think Bok Gil is long for this world- he might not make it out of this- with the way his kids were warning him not to chase criminals again....that was foreshadowing.....But if he dies or ends up in coma, the process of them figuring things out might take long again.

At the rate the show is going, the revenge might only last 20-30 episodes 🤣🤣.

Yeah- he needs more skin in the game and he has been set up to be supporting cast for Jang Mi- which is really boring- can you imagine 86 more episodes of that?

I wonder what the writers' plans for him are. I am afraid the revenge story will end up being anti-climatic😪. It will be basically about extracting Hwa Yeong from Dream Group- they cannot have her arrested because the victim is not a good witness in the state that she is in.

We are also short on villains and Hwa Yeong is a weak villain.

How will Jang Mi, as Seo Rin, explain that she is no longer interested in Jun Ho?- that will be a major red flag for Hwa Yeong.

A few weeks ago, some commenters were wondering if First Man refers to Baek Ho- as in he is Jang Mi's first man. I am starting to think that they are right. So if First Man does indeed refer to Baek Ho, then surely, he should play a bigger role in the show than just supporting Jang Mi with her revenge, right? Right now, Baek Ho lacks his own story, and he has no real motive for any revenge plan, aside from helping Jang Mi. Maybe if Hwa Yeong were to harm his parents- but this is highly unlikely. Baek Ho needs something more to earn his mention in the title of the show and to make the show truly about him.

If this was not a MBC show and not a daily drama, but a 16-episode show, I would have thought that the writers were setting up Baek Ho for a villainous turn. The writers made him fall so hard and so fast for Jang Mi and he confessed his love super early. Fortunately for him, Jang Mi feels the same way but he has been really pushy with her and sometimes, his behaviour has been borderline, obsessive. We excuse his behaviour because he is the ML. If Jang Mi did not have any feelings for him, his behaviour would be considered to be quite problematic. He has literally become her shadow.
Jang Mi's quest for revenge will make him lose her, romantically, temporarily. When she starts living with Hwa Yeong and her grandfather, he will not have the same access to her as he does now. On top of that, she might marry his brother and Jun Ho will become someone else whom she can lean on. Her attention will be divided and it will really hurt Baek Ho, even if it's just an act on Jang Mi's part. And, as of this moment, Jun Ho is an innocent person who will just be collateral damage in a revenge plot- it would be different if he were a villain. So being with Jun Ho will really weigh on Jang Mi's conscience. And will she be immune to his charms?

The revenge plot will make Baek Ho hate Hwa Yeong because she is the reason he might lose Jang Mi and he will plot to get rid of her. Will he lose himself in the revenge? Will Jang Mi have to bring him back from the brink? If he does lose Jang Mi, will he want revenge on both her and Jun Ho?

I think Baek Ho becoming a villain, temporarily, will give his story more depth and it will be fun for the actor to show two extremes of his character. Baek Ho has all the makings of a villain:
1) Villains tend to have unwavering devotion to one woman and in most cases, the woman doesn't want him and this is sometimes the trigger for their evil.
2) The writers keep telling us how good and kind-hearted Baek Ho is, so him becoming a villain would be a huge shock to everyone.

So will the First Man also be Jang Mi's Last Man? According to the history of dailies, very likely.

I know it is highly unlikely that Baek Ho will become a villain but I like the idea, and it will definitely make the show unique to other dailies. And it will certainly add some much needed intrigue and excitement to an otherwise bland show.

Ok Hee- Suk Hee refers to Seo Rin as Tok Hee. Tok Hee was the sick one.

At least he informed them of the deadly risks and they are still wiling to help.
Getting hurt is highly likely, I'm afraid. Sin Jin is far too volatile and he is used to getting his way. It's only a matter of time before he figures out that someone is sabotaging him.

It could be product placement, like they do with kopiko. They also zoom in on the Chairman.

I was wondering about the cutlery- two episodes in a row- maybe they are advertising it because the manufacturers are sponsors of the show?

Indeed- I am still surprised that Baek Ho did not try to look for a picture of Seo Rin to prove to Jang Mi that there is an heiress who looks like her. She didn't believe him. And Hwa Yeong is not even worried that Baek Ho once met Seo Rin, or maybe she forgot.

Jun Ho would have figured out that they are twins immediately.

💯 great assessment- especially about Jang Mi's feelings being mistaken for gratitude. This is her first romantic relationship so she needs time to learn and to feel adequate for him. And always showing up at their house and calling her is just putting pressure on her. I am surprised that he actually told her that the reason he is bending over backwards for her and her family is because he has feelings for her. Talk about pressure- anything he does now will just pressure her.
Moreover, she still has things she wants to achieve like become a top chef- of course, he can argue that she can still do that while they are dating, but I think she might want to do that before dating.

Baek Ho really gives off second lead vibes with his level of desperation and yearning. This is the third time I have seen a ML act like this towards the FL- the first was in The Brave Yong Su Jeon where the FL had a major crush on the SML who was the CEO of a company and later turned out to be the brother of the ML. But in that one, the ML was 8/9 years younger than the FL so she treated him like a little brother- he was so sad all the time😂. The other show was Queen's House where the ML was a sad puppy because the FL was not ready to accept his feelings. Funny thing is the ML in Brave Yong Su Jeon and Queen's House is the same- so he has mastered the sad puppy face😂.
