Se Ri was a terrible child, and while she is no longer her bratty former self, she needs to be held accountable…
This is true. I think the best we can hope for is for her to feel guilty and try to make amends for what she did. Lawfully, I don't think much can be done now- she was 16 and four years have passed. And I think the person she is today will be incredibly remorseful.
The adults have no excuse. Even in the absence of her mother, if they had tried to connect with her on an emotional level, things could have been so different. She was looking for her mother because she wanted to feel loved. Not to say that this is an excuse for what she did but it's good to know that she is not inherently evil.
The problem with Seon Jae- he goes overboard. He manipulated everything from the draw to the online comments and sales in the competition. It is just too obvious. Seon Jae does not do subtle and he is the key to Kyung Chae's downfall. Why does someone as intelligent as Kyung Chae go along with his ridiculous schemes? He even gave the hired show host his card so it will be easy to trace things back to him. So when Lucia, Tae Gyeong and Stella figure out what happened and tell the Chairman, the Chairman can use that to get the board to approve Kyung Chae's dismissal as CEO. The Chairman will ask her why she felt the need to cheat if she was so confident in her ability as CEO. It really is a terrible look for Kyung Chae and could cost her everything. On top of that, Se Ri might rush to Mingang, sick with worry for her stepmom, bringing them closer together. So the hospital preview was for tomorrow's episode, I guess.
Ji Seop should consider becoming a host- he seems to be good at that. Ja Kyung really believes her husband is capable 🤦♀️.
So Kyung Chae liked that Se Ri was a train-wreck? She said she thought Se Ri would be one for the rest of her life and is now upset because she has started to change because of Lucia. Kyung Chae really equates motherly love to bailing Se Ri out of her messes and not letting her face the consequences of her actions. That is not parenting. She all but ruined Se Ri. While Lucia's love for Se Ri is not genuine, she is helping her to heal and change. If fake love can do that, imagine what real and genuine love and care can do for Se Ri.
I guess the writers knew that there would be skeptics like me who wondered whether Lucia really had a seafood allergy🤭. They have been mentioning this allergy a lot and when writers do that, it usually means there is more to the story. Was it all just to lead up to this competition? We need more clues on what happened to Kyung Chae's baby after they both passed out. Why did they show the scene of a pregnant Seol Hui telling Seon Jae that she hopes their baby does not inherit her seafood allergy? Instead of showing the scene where she ended up in the ER because of her allergy- I don't think she was pregnant at that point 🤔. Then just for good measure, they had Kyung Chae say that Se Ri will come around because blood is thicker than water 🤔🤔🤔.
So Kyung Chae got back from the U.S. heavily pregnant? And Stella's son really didn't know? If flying rules were the same twenty years ago, Kyung Chae must have been about 6 months pregnant when she gave birth. But since she is rich, she might have paid to fly even at 9 months. The fact that Soo Jung was around already during that time means that Kyung Chae's Mom had already passed away.
What is Ji Seop up to? He might sabotage Kyung Chae with his ambition to become CEO.
Plot twist: Seri is neither Gyeong Chae’s nor the FL’s daughter, the real mother is Manager Gong. Ok, I’m…
I just watched that clip- the baby is unconscious in the end- can't wait for the subs. I think this has left me with more questions than answers. There is also a clip where Lucia and Tae Gyeong are looking at a menu and there is a picture of seafood. She says the word, "allergy"- so looks like the allergy might be real😲.
The Cost of a Twist Too FarThe notion that Miso and Seri were swapped at birth has floated through the storyline…
No baby swap. Mi So was definitely Seol Hui and Seon Jae's daughter. She had all the characteristics of both her parents. Which is why I jokingly suggested a twin theory. It's just that Manager Gong said something suspicious. Maybe Se Ri was born prematurely and Manager Gong was the one who cared for her.
Having said that- I watched a drama called Woman in a Veil. The villainess tried to get revenge on a family whom she believed had ruined her family and killed her youngest sister. She became a mistress to the son of that family and destroyed his wife and kidnapped her baby daughter from her and put her in an orphanage. In the end, it turned out that that wife was the villainess' younger sister who she thought was dead. So she destroyed her own sister's life.
Plot twist: Seri is neither Gyeong Chae’s nor the FL’s daughter, the real mother is Manager Gong. Ok, I’m…
True- I don't think she is the FL's daughter either. But there is something weird. Maybe the real Se Ri was sent to an orphanage. Or maybe Kyung Chae tried to abort Se Ri late in her pregnancy and Manager Gong saved her. Or maybe Se Ri was just born prematurely and Manager Gong cared for her.
Or Se Ri could be Manager Gong's grandchild😳.
I am starting to think Lucia is faking the seafood allergy so she can get close to Se Ri.
What is this about Se Ri? Maybe I misunderstood Manager Gong. Is Se Ri actually Kyung Chae's biological daughter? Manager Gong basically said, "after all I have put into taking in that dying newborn baby". Did she swap babies? Was Se Ri born prematurely? Why would she be on the brink of death and why would Manager Gong need to intervene? Surely, Kyung Chae would have given birth in a good hospital. Maybe I am reading too much into everything- but I don't think Lucia ran a DNA test and Manager Gong is extra panicky about Lucia and Se Ri's relationship. She also told Kyung Chae not to tell Se Ri yet. She gave a plausible reason but does she have her own agenda?
What if Mi So and Se Ri are twins?😮😂😂. Highly unlikely. But they brought up the seafood allergy again. I don't think Stella has mentioned anything about her or her son having a similar allergy.
On a different note, I am enjoying staff member Kyung Chae🤣🤣. Tae Gyeong is having a lot of fun bossing Kyung Chae around🤣🤣. Kyung Chae is going to lose the competition for CEO. I wonder how Seon Jae will fail her this time😂😂.
Today's episode is a solid 10/10 for me. Love, love, loved it. Also love Min Doo Sik in this episode. He tore the share waiver agreement, not the deed to the house, like what Friday's preview said. Watching Kyung Chae and Seon Jae facing the consequences of their actions filled me with immemse joy. Tae Gyeong is now Kyung Chae's boss and she is also Ji Seop's junior 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Watching Kyung Chae being dragged out of her office by security like how she had her Dad dragged out of the house was great revenge. I can honestly say I enjoyed every minute of this episode. When Stella and Lucia hugged happily, I celebrated with them. They did not expect to get such great results and so quickly: 1) Lucia is getting shares; 2) Lucia is now CEO; 3) The Chairman now trusts Tae Gyeong and will likely bring him into his confidence. The plan had many challenges and near misses but everything came together beautifully❤.
Pan Sul only has a 2 percent stake in Mingang- he is making a fuss over that?😂.
Kyung Chae drunkenly telling Se Ri that she is her mother was interesting. Instead of telling Se Ri that she was drunk, Lucia should have used it as an opportunity to get Se Ri to confirm it through DNA testing and constantly remind her that Kyung Chae is a terrible person for lying all along. But that would implicate the Chairman too🤔.
It will be fun watching Seon Jae report to Lucia 🤭.
The best part is Soo Jung can nolonger demand the shares from Lucia after she tried to get rid of her. Everything worked out so perfectly- almost like it was divinely orchestrated.
I know this kind of big win means that there will be major challenges ahead. Kyung Chae might sue the Chairman. But I will enjoy this, in the meantime.
The Chairman will hate himself when Lucia finally removes her mask but today he gets my adoration and respect for how he handled his children and board members, and defended and rewarded his woman.
Did I mention just how much I loved this episode? 🤭. I need to rewatch it😆.
Mi Ran and Patrick are the only ones who had a real romance. I am glad they kept it purely revenge- usually I like romance added but this one was a different kind of revenge drama. Romance would have taken away from it and not added anything. That being said, I was thinking about Yu Gyeong and Seung Woo- as Seung Woo matured, he also matured from his long-term crush and outgrew it. Such crushes are really meant to remain crushes and I am glad the writers acknowledged that. If they had not already added Na Ra into the mix a few episodes before they even started dating, I would have thought that the actors playing Yu Gyeong and Seung Woo might have fought and were not getting along. After their break-up, they didn't see each other for a week and when they finally did, it was for less than a minute and that was the last time they were ever in a scene together until the end 😂.
I really enjoyed that finale. It was so wholesome. Watching Gi Chan get his final wish was the best scene for me- Jae In cried as she called him Gi Chan endearingly, and finally, referred to him as Eun Ho's Dad. It was heartbreaking but also the best exit for him. And Jae In got closure.
The second scene was Na Ra and Jae In. Another tearjerker for me.I am awed by how Gi Chan made provisions for his brother and sister. He really did think of everything. And entrusting their welfare to Jae In. That was a beautiful twist. Now Na Ra can make her brother proud by doing something amazing with her life. She looked really good after one year and has matured a bit. It was really nice seeing her and Seung Woo together. Even though they are not together yet, the look on Seung Woo's face and his big smile indicate that they will be together soon. They have both matured and look really good together. And Do Yun's Mom was actually happy to see Na Ra so the families will not object to their romance.
Do Yun's Mom and Yu Gyeong's Dad are still kinda flirting. We don't know what Yu Gyeong was up to after a year- the writers really dropped the ball with that character.
I am thrilled that Do Yun realised that his feelings were quite burdensome for Jae In and opted to leave for a year. Jae In is a grieving mother, who was dealing with massive betrayal and her divorce, and was trying to get revenge. His initial confession was quite selfish. The year away allowed Jae In to grieve all her losses, including Gi Chan, and establish her identity as Chairwoman. I am really glad she actually accepted becoming the Chairwoman as she was not really ambitious at the start of the show. In that moment, I could not help but think back to Gi Chan- if he had just been patient and not let greed and ambition (and possibly lust) get in the way, it could have all been his.
I love that Seung Woo, Jae In and Ja Yeong are still living together. The writers really handled Seung Woo's parentage extremely well. And it is so nice to see Seung Woo so happy and Ja Yeong doing so well. I would have liked to see Seung Woo bullying the new employees🤣🤣.
We didn’t get to see the new house that Patrick was building 😪.
Great to hear that Ji Ho is adjusting well.
It has been a challenging but fun ride. Thank you to the writers, producers and actors. The actors were as passionate in their roles in the final episodes as they were in the first. A double thanks to the actors who played Jae In and Gi Chan. It is not easy to tap into those range of emotions but they pulled it off, amazingly so 👏👏👏. I never ever thought I would shed a tear for the villain. But the tissues that have been beside my bed for this final week tell a different story.
I loved the final scene between Gi Chan and Jae In. You could see that she still had feelings for him and that…
That was the best scene. Amazing chemistry. I am glad the writers did that and showed there was still some love there. Jae In had been trying to ignore those feelings ever since she heard he was terminally ill- it's why she told him to fight to stay alive and why she refused to be with him on his death bed. Even when Do Yun told her that Gi Chan was ill- she didn't want to address her feelings and asked about Do Yun's feelings, instead. She spent over 7 years with Gi Chan and had a child with him and miscarried another. Even though the love was replaced with hate, not all the feelings went away, especially since it's been less than a year since they divorced. In being with him as he died, she was able to confront her feelings and get closure. This also enabled her to give her whole heart to Do Yun.
Am I the only one who cried through most of this last episode? I love how everyone ended up in just the right…
I am still wiping away my tears. Aside from crying with Jae In as Gi Chan died, I was really touched by the scene between Na Ra and Jae In. Gi Chan thought of everything- he even provided a means for his brother and sister to survive, in spite of their mother, and asked Jae In to be their guardian. This man was the best brother. He had so much on his plate but made time for that. I am glad his wish came true and it was important for Jae In to be there so she could get closure.
Bravo to the Real GuardiansLucia and Tae Gyeong earned every ounce of those brownie points. The villains thought…
I cannot wait to see what's next. I never imagined the Chairman would replace Kyung Chae with Lucia as CEO. And he is giving her the house that Kyung Chae and Ji Seop's Mom built. Kyung Chae and Seon Jae will be working very hard trying to change the story. At least Kyung Chae didn't have to marry Seon Jae 🤣. She should be thanking Lucia.
Gi- chan's final moment captures the profound tragedy arc. His final , self- sacrificial act- using his "…
Beautifully written. This encapsulates everything I feel about the character. And in the midst of the wars waging around and within him, he still makes time for the simple things like walking his son to school 🥹.
Gyeong Chae finally got some slaps of her own- two for good measure. Tae Gyeong and Lucia saved the Chairman before he even got into the ambulance.
The jig is up- he has stopped faking dementia and is terrorising his bullies and is back at the office. I think Tae Gyeong is back in his good graces and he told Kyung Chae something about Lucia which leaves her livid. I assume he told her that Lucia will be taking over.
