True. She seemed so sure about the baby's father. I wonder why the writers never gave us a flashback scene of when they got together.

On the other side, the fact that the baby would never pass the DNA test would be incentive for Manager Lee to get rid it🤔.

I always thought that Manager Lee was the father of that child. The twins' dad swore that they never slept together. She claims that he was drunk.

If the writers go this route, it would mean that Hwa Yeong's baby was stolen from her- the baby we saw her give birth to. The baby that was stillborn at birth. Manager Lee could have had the doctor lie and say the baby was dead and he could have taken the child and dumped him at an orphanage.
That would be karma for Hwa Yeong too.

Just a theory. Right now, Baek Ho is the same age as Tae Pyung so he is a few years older than the twins. So not possible. Also, Hwa Yeong claimed that the father of that child was the twins' Dad so the writers would never make Baek Ho and Jang Mi siblings.
But if the writers suddenly decide to change Baek Ho's age and say that he is 30- then they will definitely be
going down this route. And Manager Lee will likely be his bio-dad. Manager Lee and Baek Ho are a bit similar- obsessed with, and fully committed to one woman 🤔🤣🤣.

Baek Ho being the second son would certainly make for a great makjang story. A baby back from the dead and one family adopting two kids from the same woman, on two separate occasions. It would certainly give Hwa Yeong great emotional material as she grapples with the truth and has to deal with the betrayal that separated her from her son. If the baby had survived, she would not have needed to steal a baby and kill to hide the secret.

While I hope Jun Ho sides with Jang Mi, I worry that there are still too many episodes left for him to do so, and the writers will want to create more drama. Maybe he sides with Hwa Yeong for 10 or so episodes then changes sides, or he will decide to be neutral or he will choose his own interests and look out for himself. But if he does side with Jang Mi now, the writers will need to introduce someone else to throw a wrench into Team Jang Mi's plans and cause more chaos. That person might be Seo Rin. We are all expecting her to wake up and be on her twin's side, but a more dramatic and unexpected turn of events would be if she wakes up and sides with Hwa Yeong.

The twins were born in 1973 so they were 24 when Myeong Hui had Min Jun and died. Min Jun is now about 28 so Dan Hui is 52.

They also said last week that they would keep the twins a secret because if 'Jang Mi' is found, there would be two heirs and less for them 😂😂.

The writers really oversold their characters in the synopsis. They fooled us:
1) Hong Ju is not a threat at all- we feel sorry for her most of the time😂;
2) They made it seem like Seo Rin would live as Jang Mi but Seo Rin only lived as Jang Mi for one day😂;
3) "Dangerous rivalries that blur the line between justice and desire"- we have not really seen this;
4) "As hidden motives unravel and love turns into a weapon"- yet to see that.

I even read an article promoting the show when it started- it stated that Jang Mi would be morally gray and start to lose her identity during a revenge. That was a scam too lol.

That being said, I am glad that Hong Ju is not an ambitious, bloodthirsty villainess. I actually want her and her Mom to have a very happy ending.

Jang Mi has not gone into full revenge mode , after 87 episodes. She has relied heavily on Baek Ho and Tae Pyung and has not been able to implement any plan to use Hwa Yeong's Achilles heel to take her down. She has spent a huge chunk of her time on romance and not strategizing. She needed to be left alone in the deep end so she could learn how to swim. If she had, she might have been able to overcome a lot of challenges on her own.

Looks like we are finally heading for a showdown between Manager Lee and Nam Bong. This might be the beginning of Manager Lee going full rogue. Imagine what he will do to Jun Ho if he turns on Hwa Yeong 🙆🏾‍♀️.

Maybe the writers also plan to use Baek Ho's injuries to reveal his adoption and parentage.
Poor Yeong Ja- both her sons being hospitalised consecutively.

So will Hwa Yeong find out that Jang Mi knows about Jun Ho? That will be interesting- now they can play with everything out in the open.

I am glad that Jun Ho knows everything- I wonder how Hwa Yeong will explain things. Did Jang Mi also tell him that she knows about his parentage?
The writers seems to want to keep Jun Ho as a wildcard. Will he help Jang Mi or team up with his bio-Mom? But would Hwa Yeong actually tell him the truth or will she continue lying?

" just take him out of the scene for quite some time"😂😂😂. Love this- especially the "quite some time" part😂😂😂. This is what I have been saying about Baek Ho for weeks- he needs to be incapacitated so that Jang Mi can finally start her revenge. He has been more of a hindrance. Unfortunately, though, the injuries do not look so serious. He will probably be up and running again in a few days, unless he has amnesia.
But things are harder for Jang Mi's revenge now that she told Jun Ho everything- she can't really use him against Hwa Yeong. If she suddenly agrees to marry him, he will be suspicious.

This is so true- they tried to make overnight changes to Jun Ho's character- it's not him. He would not pursue a woman who is not interested in him nor would he be ambitious for a company he never built. And then they had him say recently that he wants to make his parents proud. A forced marriage, a stolen company, and being at odds with his brother would not make them proud. We have scenes with him being logical and others where he is illogical- it does not make sense. But like you said- they are trying very hard to drive the whole blood narrative (and to fool Hwa Yeong into believing that her son is ambitious just like she is, I suppose) - but if that was their goal- they should have hinted at things from the beginning. And if he was ambitious for Dream Group, he would have just pretended to fall in love with Seo Rin instead of rejecting her at every turn.
So I guess the writers are saying the ambitious gene was dormant until the right conditions were met- i.e. meeting his birth mother 😂.

Hopefully, this arc does not last too long and we can get back to Hwa Yeong against the world. But things may get worse before they get better for him. Will his desire to marry Jang Mi be greater than helping her with her quest for justice? But thankfully, they made this change to his character in the last third of the show so I doubt it will last long. And they might still try to put him together with Seo Rin.

This is why I have just never warmed up to Baek Ho- he has been obsessed with Jang Mi ever since he realised he was starting to have feelings for her. If he was not on the phone with her, he was showing up at the store. He even listened in on private family discussions. Like give the girl room to breathe.
Even when she rejected him the first time, he demanded an explanation from her, like he was a gangster or something😂. He said, "follow me," and they went to his car so she could explain herself😂😂. He would drag her out on 'dates' and she would just follow. She had no agency and unfortunately, this has continued into her revenge journey. She can't seem to think for herself and most of the time, he is telling her what to do. And then there's the frequent PDA in the office, and he keeps calling her, "Jang Mi",- this has prevented her from fully transforming into Seo Rin. Even Ahjumma warned her once that Seo Rin needs to return because Hwa Yeong was suspicious.

But for some reason, the writer thinks having such a boyfriend is swoon worthy romance. Maybe this is what her ideal man should be like🤷🏾‍♀️.

This would be the best way- honesty. And he can watch things unfold. But this way is not complicated enough for the writer😪. Something will definitely prevent her from delivering those DNA results to her Grandpa. Maybe Hwa Yeong will do something extreme that will make her actually want to use Jun Ho against her.

The loss needed to happen to give Jang Mi a little jolt so she can take this seriously.

So now, instead of telling her Grandfather about her and Seo Rin, she is going to tell him about Jun Ho and Hwa Yeong? Is she going to say that she and Jun Ho are siblings? 😂.

What would be wild is if she took Baek Ho's DNA by mistake, instead of Jun Ho's, and it came back positive 😂😂😂.

Yeah- hopefully she is telling him as part of a strategic move to use him against Hwa Yeong and not just telling him to assuage Baek Ho's growing jealousy. But this is Jang Mi we are talking about- it's definitely for the latter reason🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️. Anything else, is asking too much of her.

I wonder what Tae Pyung will do in response to the kidnapping. It's kinda his fault that Seo Rin was found. He had even told Jang Mi that it's dangerous for Suk Hee to go to the hospital because Hwa Youngs's men were watching them. So why did he proceed to go to the hospital the very next day? 😂😂😂😂

Yay!!! Hwa Yeong needed that win- I feel like she has been on a losing streak. If she didn't need Seo Rin's face, she would have just hired a plastic surgeon to change her appearance. The scars on Seo Rin's face are a problem, though. Maybe she can brainwash Seo Rin, instead.

Will Jang Mi tell Jun Ho the truth in the hopes that he will help her to find Seo Rin? How much will she tell him? Will he believe her?
He might still pursue Jang Mi, especially since the Chairman has approved their marriage. I remember there's a preview from last Friday where he tells Hong Ju that he will support her relationship with Baek Ho. Unless they opted to delete that scene, it will still come up. But at least this way, he will be pursuing her openly, with everyone knowing where they stand.

I don't think the romance will be going anywhere. It seems to be the premise of the show. It's primarily about romance and revenge is secondary. Besides Nam Bong with two women, there are no other couples in the show. So Jang Mi and Baek Ho are getting all the romantic scenes.

Yeah- the First Man had so much potential, which is why it's so disappointing how things have turned out. It could have been so much better than Cinderella Game. Maybe if it were under KBS1, the writers might have changed things?
The last time I was this disappointed was with Woman in a Veil- the supposed FL woke up from her coma and made things worse, and before she had any real opportunity for character growth, she was killed off. But I think the actress wanted to leave the show so they had no choice but to kill her off. She had great chemistry with the other FL's brother and I was hoping that they would get together but they put him together with his ex-sister-in-law 😂🤦🏾‍♀️.

But in First Man, I would not mind if Seo Rin wakes up and messes things up for Team Jang Mi. That would liven things up a bit and add some spice. But I doubt it will happen- the writers have been really tame in this one. No bold moves have been made, except what it typical for a villain.

How are about, "The Great Eavesdropper"? 😂. Or "Eavesdropping 101"😂.

Has Hwa Yeong done any eavesdropping?🤔?

💯
I was looking at the ratings and it has not been able to reach the 6% mark. It varies between 4- 5.9%. The previous two shows made it past 6%.

Our Happy Days has already made it to 10% and it's only 12 episodes in.
