The series is practically a study in unseen proximity, where everyone’s lives are interwoven, yet no one realizes…
Tae Gyeong knows that Pan Sul is Ji Seop's father-in-law. Remember that episode where Ji Seop was visiting and wanted to see the new tenant? Pan Sul went to call Tae Gyeong and he informed him that his son-in-law works at Mingang as a vice-CEO, I think. Tae Gyeong then gave some excuse to not come out.
So KSR was his first love? ew But didn’t he tell Jae-In that he briefly dated KSR, now she’s his first love?…
He didn't want to tell Jae In the whole truth. He is keeping his cards close to the vest and he and Jae In are acquaintances- he really has no obligation to tell her his life story. It's his business.
I am starting to think there might be one more death or life-threatening injury on the good guy's side. The bad guys have been losing for so long so they need one final major win, especially Se Ri. Something that will lead her straight to jail. Last week, I thought Seung Woo might be the victim, especially after they told him everything- he is the perfect candidate because it would affect Jae In, Ja Young, Mi Ran, and Do Yun and his family. But would the writers be that cruel? But then again, Jae In did lose two kids, so anything is possible. I hope it won't be Ja Young.
Yesterday, I thought Ji Ho might accidentally drink the poisoned coffee and die. Could Ji Ho become a victim? The ultimate revenge against Se Ri?
Anyway, something major might happen over the next 7/8 episodes or needs to happen to keep the interesting and exciting till the end.
On a side note- Even though there is a very small chance of it happening, I am secretly shipping Tae Oh and Ya Gyeong- I think that is the kind of man she needs after all she has been through with Gi Man and his family. Someone firm and decisive. And since Ji Ho knows her, it would make his transition to having a new Dad, easier. They can move to the U.S. together- Ya Gyeong can study medicine again there and continue practicing as a doctor. But how would they meet? Maybe she saves his life after Se Ri's attempted murder? Anyway, I know it's a long shot...
this was never a romance drama. and i dont percieve that she flirted around with him - she was still grieving…
💯She never flirted. They really should have removed the romance angle. Do Yun's feelings seem to be quite burdensome to Jae In. She is thinking about revenge and he is busy getting jealous about Tae Oh calling her his "destiny"🤦🏽♀️ . She really does not have time for such conversations- grief plus her Mom being sick, the slush fund etc- she has a lot on her plate already. They are two people who have shared goals and shared enemies- it does not necessarily have to lead to romance. I would prefer a time jump when the revenge is over and only after that jump, they can get together.
Different dynamic more than chemistry in my book. But, I don't get that she has the feels for Do Yun at all.
I had the same thought- DY said it would only take a few minutes to take her home but she insisted that he should go home. She really is just not that into him. Her revenge, Se Ri and Gi Chan are occupying her mind and DY is really just an afterthought. And how can she even think about romance- it has not even been a year since she lost her Dad and her babies- she is still grieving. At this point, DY's feelings are burdensome to her and DY failed to read the room by telling her how he felt.
Is it just me or does Jae In have far more chemistry with Gi Chan than with Do Yun. Jae In seems to come alive whenever she is around Gi Chan. The actress is so passionate and emotional in her scenes with him and then she is dull and boring around Do Yun. In most of their scenes, Do Yun seems to be begging for her attention- he looks like a sad puppy.
I guess there is a thin line between love and hate when it comes to Jae In and Gi Chan. Gi Chan is the real male lead of show- his character is multidimensional and has so many layers, which makes him far more interesting, to me, anyway.
If I were Tae Gyeong, I would have had the cleaner plant some seeds that Tae Gyeong might be the Chairman's illegitimate son from an affair. Seon Jae would work extra hard to keep that information hidden😂😂😂.
I hope that cleaner will continue to keep her mouth shut.
Manager Gong now respects Lucia?
It might time for Lucia to hint to Soo Jung that Kyung Chae might have been responsible for her mother's death. At least with the share waiver information out and Soo Jung declaring war, Lucia is no longer obligated to give Soo Jung the shares.
Looks like Seon Jae is not the only one who has learnt the art of recording his conversations with Lucia- Soo Jung also recorded and Lucia is livid. Soo Jung also tried to slap Lucia. Not sure what Kyung Chae told her to make her so mad at Lucia.
I laughed so much when Ji Seop told Kyung Chae that she does not have any feelings 😂😂😂 And Soo Jung agreed by saying Kyung Chae does not get hurt, she does the hurting 😂😂😂. People don't see her as human. Even with the way she treats Se Ri, she is cold and emotionally distant. I really felt sad for Se Ri when she said no one had time to teach her how to ride a bike 😪.
Pan Sul should know when to stop. He overplayed his hand and now he lost all the collateral- but since the police called- he might get the other documents back. I hope he will be wise enough to realise the Chairman took it.
I think Tae Gyeong thought it was Tae Joo stealing the safe, that's why he did not go after the thief. But I am glad the Chairman stole it because Pan Sul needs to be brought down a peg. And of course, the Chairman did not tear up the document 🤦♀️. Why is he keeping it?
How will Lucia get out of this predicament. Looks like she will manage since she is all smiles in the preview.
Why did Seon Jae follow Lucia into her bedroom if he was that afraid of Manager Gong catching them. He seems to lose all rational thought when Lucia is around. If he marries Kyung Chae and they all live together, things wiĺl be quite volatile.
Stella's refusal to believe that Se Ri could be related to her 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Even Tae Joo can see it's possible. So it means her son must have died after Se Ri was born. So some time passed between the break-up and and his death. Was he killed because he found out about Se Ri and wanted to take her? Se Ri lived with maids at the time and I think Kyung Chae's Mom was still alive when Se Ri was born. Tae Joo should just ask Lucia for a strand of Se Ri's hair and compare it to Stella's. At least Lucia's new plan does not involve physically harming Se Ri but showering her with love so she forgets about Kyung Chae. So Stella should not have a problem with it.
I am glad that cleaner is not giving Seon Jae anything. Now that Tae Gyeong will catch them, maybe he will ask her to give Seon Jae a false name.
So Seon Jae is stealing a lot from the company and colluding with other companies. Kyung Chae will feel like such a fool when all is revealed, especially since Tae Gyeong tried to warn her. That being said, Tae Gyeong is overdoing it. He planted the seeds, he should let it go. Kyung Chae will just think he has a personal grudge against Seon Jae. I also hope that ledger is somewhere safe, and there are copies. Seon Jae might start searching for it.
Ji Seop wants a promotion?! 🤦♀️🤦♀️ No remorse for his actions. The Chairman should make him start from the bottom.
why in the WORLD did Jae In allow that cheating scumbag drag her away and why in the WORLD did she get in the…
That was a beautiful scene between Seung Woo and Mi Ran, and Seung Woo made up his own mind without anyone trying to force what they think he should do onto him. Ja Young will continue to be his Mom and Mi Ran will continue to be his Aunt. I think he also basically gave her an answer about the registry issue, without being asked yet- he wants to remain on Ja Young's registry. For some reason, Mi Ran believed that the fact that she is his biological mother meant she could just take over from Ja Young like it's a relay race or something. She did not factor in the bond and love between Ja Young and Seung Woo. Yes, she would show up whenever Seung Woo was sick, but Ja Young was there for everything else, and doted on him. The writers handled this issue really well.
I'm curious to see how Seung Woo will handle the Patrick issue- that one is different because Patrick never knew he existed 🤔.
Seung Woo is starting to mature. He is no longer trying to drink his problems away or running to Yu Gyeong for comfort, but is facing them head on.
That was a brilliant dose of revenge from Lucia. Watching the scene of Kyung Chae going to the hospital and looking everywhere for Se Ri was deja vu. Baek Sul went through the same motions while looking for Mi So. A great move by the writers. Kyung Chae needed to taste what happened to Baek Sul, albeit a small dose.
The dog is sniffing around Tae Gyeong. I wonder how Tae Gyeong will shake him off. We are barely half way through the show so I doubt the truth will be revealed any time soon. Hopefully, Tae Gyeong got to her first to ask her not to say anything.
Stella told Tae Gyeong that she is helping Lucia with her revenge. This is not true- she refused go to the U.S. without Baek Sul because she needed her for her revenge. So they are helping each other. And they confirmed that her son was killed in a car accident.
Pan Sul is becoming too ambitious because of that collateral. It is time to relieve him of the temptation.
The look of disgust on Lucia's face after giving the Chairman a peck on his cheek 😂.
So does Manager Gong actually like Kyung Chae? The way she described her as a backstabber and described Se Ri as dumb.
Seon Jae will become redundant soon if he does not do anything to shift things in his favour. He doesn't seem to have anything to do now that that Lucia no longer works there. All he did was follow her around🤣🤣. At least Kyung Chae knows that he is just using her.
It's fascinating how everyone seems to know about the slush fund and ledger, and discuss it openly like it's not illegal. The only person who probably does not know is Ji Seop 😂. They don't trust him. And Ji Seop could have simply asked his wife about where the collateral is kept. He didn’t need to ask the in-laws and look suspicious.
I kinda feel sorry for Manager Gong. When the Chairman and Kyung Chae go to jail, and Se Ri goes off with Stella, what will become of her. There is no way she will continue to work for Soo Jung and Ji Seop. Her life has started changing and even bigger changes are coming. After 30 years of service, she will need to figure out who she is without the Min family.
Manager Gong receives multiple well-deserved slaps from Lucia in this episode 😂, and in front of the kids. She really should not be recording Lucia conversations. The Chairman also seemed to want to fire her for offending Lucia. The Chairman told Ji Seop to find out where Pan Sul keeps his documents and he did, and has been reinstated😖. Yeon Ah basically found out that Kyung Chae is Se Ri's mom and told Lucia. Will Lucia figure out who the Dad might be and tell Stella? She has found Kyung Chae's Achilles heel, and potentially, a way to blackmail her, if ever necessary.
And from the preview, Tae Joo finds his way into Pan Sul's home-I guess he and Stella are trying to figure out how to break into the safe. That safe is going to be very busy over the next couple of episodes, with the Chairman and Stella trying to break into it.
😂😂 I saw that- Lucia might have to hide it. But I think he is so mad at Pan Sul that he will throw it away.
It would be great if she can throw it away and replace it with the tonic. This way, the Chairman will be drugging himself and won't get suspicious of Lucia.
Maybe she can replace one of Ji Seop drinks with the bush clover 🤣🤣.
Yes- Pan Sul does not know just how dangerous the Chairman is. That was a reckless move. I'm guessing the condition…
Pan Sul cannot be trusted. He only cares about himself and might blackmail Tae Gyeong. It's not safe for Tae Gyeong to reveal himself. Stella might be the one to get the information from Pan Sul.
Pan Sul is yet to find out that Tae Gyeong is the one who took the job Ji Seop was eyeing. That will be more drama.
The rage in the Chairman's eyes in the end. Great acting. Pan Sul might not live long enough to see his grandkids.
Have Yeon Ah and Tae Joo left the show? It feels like a week since we last saw them.
So did Lucia resign? And what is this about Tae Gyeong's parents having shares? That is new information.
Tae Gyeong should have told Kyung Chae about Seon Jae sabotaging their deals. She could have easily confirmed it.
Lucia antagonising everyone might backfire. She should have tried to make friends with Manager Gong but Manager Gong never liked her. And now that the Chairman is married, Manager Gong should not be allowed to enter their bedroom at any time, without Lucia's permission. But that's a boundary Lucia will need to discuss with the Chairman because he is allowing it. It might be time for Tae Joo to dig into Manager's Gong past. Some blackmail might be necessary.
What would happen if Lucia convinced the Chairman to find their own place and move out? I think those kids and Manager Gong would be livid. Se Ri would probably want to go with her parents. Will Soo Jung stay even though it's Kyung Chae's Mom's house?
Ji Seop is the embodiment of squandered legacy: oldest in the family, yet utterly spineless. He’s not just ineffective—he’s…
Yes- Pan Sul does not know just how dangerous the Chairman is. That was a reckless move. I'm guessing the condition from the Chairman is that he destroys all the evidence. How will Tae Gyeong get it before it's destroyed?
The Seon Jae reveal will be an interesting one.
But would the writers be that cruel? But then again, Jae In did lose two kids, so anything is possible.
I hope it won't be Ja Young.
Yesterday, I thought Ji Ho might accidentally drink the poisoned coffee and die.
Could Ji Ho become a victim? The ultimate revenge against Se Ri?
