TooEmotional

I wondered from the beginning if Seon Jae was the one sabotaging the supplier deals- and it turns out that he was. He is really threatened by Tae Gyeong. And Lucia, seriously? She confronted Seon Jae immediately, with no game plan- she really lacks tact. But I guess it shows how unnatural deception is to her.

If the truth about Seon Jae's deception is revealed now, he will be fired. That cannot happen this early in the show so I doubt that card will be played. Lucia and Tae Gyeong will have to find another way to save themselves- the new suppliers and Soo Jung?

From the preview, Kyung Chae mentions that she cannot trust Seon Jae because he fell in love with Seol Hui, at least I think she was referring to him. So it would be in his best interest for him to keep Lucia's secret- if the truth is revealed- Kyung Chae will know that he kept it from her. She hates lies and she might fire him or transfer him to another branch. She might even think that he is still in love with Seol Hui and that is why he 'protected' her. So Seon Jae is really in a bind- he has unwittingly and unknowingly become a keeper of Lucia's secret. I will not be surprised if, when the flyer is found in the Min household, he will say that it's not Lucia or he might even hide the flyer.

Looks like Lucia is starting to feel sorry for Se Ri and is starting to understand why she lashed out at Mi So.....🤔.

It's nice to see that Tae Joo is not just muscle- he has business acumen and has good connections in the business world.

Hardly a chairman- a chairman does not need to lurk around corridors to get information- people bring the information to him.
Has Seon Jae ever heard of workplace bullying? That's what he is doing. And why does Lucia insist on talking to him. She could have ignored him several times in this episode. At least she did some eavesdropping of her own and heard that Seon Jae plans to sabotage the contracts.

I think it was strategic for her to take it- he was not even offended that she took it.
Lucia and Stella needed to know how much value the Chairman would put on his life and since it was not much- it indicated that he really did not want to pay her off because he likes her.

If I am understanding the preview correctly, Lucia is trying to avoid making deal with Soo Jung-which is very wise because they would be giving her control of the revenge plan. But to go to Seon Jae to try to save Tae Gyeong's job? Soo Jung might be a better option.
I do, however, think that Tae Gyeong will end up saving himself in the end. I think everything will happen as he predicted- the other two companies will fail to pay their suppliers and the suppliers might beg Tae Gyeong for the deal and he might even get them to sign at a lower rate. This might all happen minutes before the meeting to oust him. Tae Gyeong is said to be a genius in the field and this will prove why.

I feel a little sorry for Tae Joo. I think he has tried to fill the void in Stella's life but has been unable to. I think I saw a hint of sadness in his expression when he told Stella that she has been mentioning her desire for a grandchild a lot, lately.

I am surprised that Stella is not calling out Lucia for borrowing problems when they have enough trouble of their own- i.e. trying to save Tae Gyeong. But then again, Lucia does need allies in the company and Tae Gyeong is one of them.

Yes, FL- the role she is playing now is entertaining. She has changed her revenge strategy.

Regarding Stella, she said Kyung Chae left after the accident and she chose ambition over love. So I am assuming she meant she left the U.S.

Oh- I just assumed it was a car accident because of what he did to Tae Gyeong's parents. So he died in the U.S. before Kyung Chae even left- and she didn't know.

I am finding QH surprisingly good- it has managed to do what Cinderella Game failed to do- it has kept up the intrigue. What is going on now is fun- the actress is really good- she has us questioning ourselves.

When comparing TWWSTS and QH- it's a bit hard because QH has 35 episodes left while we are not even half way through TWWSTS. But right now, I find them both entertaining but I have more of an emotional investment in QH than in TWWSTS. I even like Seo Jun Young in QH- I did not like him in his previous shows.

It's possible- but Stella said the car accident was strange.

One thing I can say about this show is that it is hard to predict anything. The writers are being very misleading. They are going in so many different directions.

lol- yes - we can agree to disagree.
Yes- she probably left without knowing she was pregnant but since she was not willing to be a mother, she could have just called him to take the baby. Has Stella said where he was killed?
Maybe he followed her to S. Korea and the Chairman might have killed him because the pregnancy so there was no chance of reconciliation.

Not really- in the end, she chose her greed. She could have had Se Ri and given her to Stella's son to raise, if he was still alive at that time. But she left the U.S. and never looked back. I do agree with her, though, that her Dad should not fall in love because she gave up on love for him. How she has treated people, especially Mi So and Seol Hui, was unwarranted. She is just evil. And she actually believes that Se Ri is pure.

Maybe they should give us a flashback so we see how everything happened in the past. Maybe I will have some (pea-sized) pity for her. Kyung Chae is far worse than Se Yeong in Cinderella Game🙆🏽‍♀️.

Are we heading towards a redemption arc for Kyung Chae too?

Yes- it funny how their plan is now being hijacked by someone else 😂. It's the first time I've seen this.

I don't think it will fall through-it has to happen but it's now so complicated. I think it will evolve slightly. The three people with revenge arcs don't really have good plans.
Unless the ultimate goal for the writer is how to deal with the grief of losing child and forgiveness.

The plan to seduce the Chairman was always very weak and now they need the enemy's daughter, Soo Jung, to save it🙆‍♀️. This is the best Stella could come up with after nearly 30 years? On top of that, Stella is working under the assumption that Kyung Chae knows about her son's accident. I wonder how Stella will find out the truth- Kyung Chae is very guarded.

Seon Jae should just give up- he is competing with a dead guy whom Kyung Chae still very much has feelings for.

So we got two confirmations today- Seon Jae is indeed Mi So's Dad, and they all but confirmed that Se Ri is Stella's granddaughter. Stella will shield Se Ri and Seol Hui will be forced to forgive her in the end. Stella might also feel grateful towards Kyung Chae for actually keeping the baby. And Se Ri won't want Kyung Chae to get hurt so she might beg Stella to protect her too.

This will be the ultimate test to Lucia and Stella's relationship. I forsee Stella giving Lucia some of her businesses and moving to the US with Se Ri in the end.

Finding Se Ri might signal the end of Stella's revenge. She might just call it off.

Poor Tae Gyeong is falling more and more in love with each episode. He will be heartbroken to learn that Lucia is chasing the Chairman.

Lucia needed to take a day off to recover from her confrontation with Seon Jae?🙆‍♀️🤦. Not a good sign.

Seon Jae cannot reveal the truth himself.

Did the Chairman actually have Stella's son killed? According to the preview, Kyung Chae does not know that her ex is dead and the Chairman wants to keep it that way. So he might give in to her demands- so marrying into the family might not give Lucia and Stella the result they are looking for.

I find it strange that Stella never discussed her son's death with Lucia. What were they talking about for four years?

So Seon Jae is now certain that Lucia is Seol Hui. What will he do with that information? It implicates him too. At this point, Lucia should get pepper spray just for Seon Jae🤦‍♀️.
Lucia is not 100% ready for this revenge. The pain is still so raw but maybe that's a good thing.

I like Soo Jung's scheming against her sister 😂😂😂. Why does Seon Jae feel obliged to
tell her anything? What does she have on
him?

The Min family really does not care about each other 😂😂 I like how they are honest about it. Seems like Manager Gong keeps them together 😂😂. Poor lady. I am feeling more and more that Yeon Ah could be her daughter.

Yeah- but after the revenge would not have been possible. If she successfully marries the Chairman, her face will be everywhere on the news- that is a painful way for Yeon Ah to find out.
Meeting at the birthday party will be equally painful.

Seon Jae will probably have people watch Yeon Ah now.

The poster Yeon Ah gave Manager Gong is going to be a problem- for both Lucia and Seon Jae. Kyung Chae will find the poster and remember Seol Hui and try to prove her identity. For Seon Jae, the poster is proof that he was suspicious but never told Kyung Chae the real reason why. He will lose more of her trust, if that is possible. And I hope that when confronted with the poster by Kyung Chae and Seon Jae, Lucia will tell Kyung Chae that Seon Jae said she looked like someone he used to love. He will lose more points again with Kyung Chae because he told her that he never knew Seol Hui.

It will be interesting to see how Lucia will explain away the poster. She really should have contacted her sister upon arrival. Maybe she is afraid that her sister will dissuade her from pursuing revenge.

Yes- Stella- it is really starting to seem like she is weaponising Seol Hui's guilt. Am starting to wonder if she really cares for her. Also, if Se Ri is her granddaughter- she will definitely do all she can to protect her.

Does Kyung Chae really think she can prevent her Dad from contacting Lucia?🤦🏽‍♀️

This makjang relies too much on coincidences. What would have happened if the Chairman had minded his own business and ignored Lucia's phone? Why didn't they just send the video anonymously to the Chairman's phone or e-mail?

Yeah- Stella's revenge is really weak.
I thought Stella told Lucia everything about her son and his involvement with Kyung Chae. She doesn't know? How has she explained knowing so much about the Chairman?

I was thinking that maybe she becomes her Mom by marrying the Chairman. Maybe during this time, she will start getting close to her, with the Chairman's approval, and 'save' her from the scam.

That slap was well-deserved. I cannot fault Kyung Chae for that one- Lucia has become quite emboldened and she is seducing her father.

I laughed when Soo Jung told Ji Seop that if he had a conscience, he would halve his salary 🤣. Then he responded that he lost his conscience a long time ago 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. That is very true.

Is Seon Jae serious? Kyung Chae and Tae Gyeong are business partners so they can meet at any time and not everything involves legal. He is a crazy one- Tae Gyeong should have told him that Kyung Chae asked him out for a meal🤣. He would have lost his mind. Kyung Chae even told him that he does not need him 🤦🏽‍♀️. Nobody likes a desperate person.

For once, Seon Jae was left speechless after seeing the Chairman with Lucia😂. Now if he tries anything shady, he could lose his job.

They seem to be laying more groundwork for Se Ri's redemption- when Tae Joo told Stella that no one in the family seems to care about Se Ri.

Stella is starting to bother me a bit- she seems to just sit and give instructions. What else is she planning to do to get actively involved? Lucia and Tae Joo are now doing all the work. So what was her revenge plan after plotting for nearly 20 years? What would have happened if she had not come across Seol Hui? That's why she told Tae Joo that she could not leave for the U.S. without Seol Hui, four years ago. It feels like she is weaponising Seol Hui's grief. I wonder if this will become an issue in the future🤔 .
