Ohhh- I didn't notice the driver had said a name. Thanks.

Looks like it's neither. Someone else.

Is the driver going to stay with Ji Seop's in-laws? They mentioned renting out their daughter's room. It's either him or Yeon Ah.
The driver has suddenly become really intelligent. He has so many ideas. What was he before the car accident? A business man?

I really liked the confrontation between the Chairman and Tae Gyeong by the lift. Tae Gyeong really showed his intelligence and business acumen and possibly why he was so successful in the U.S. He has also perfected the art of the fake smile😁. The Chairman feels really challenged by him and is now trying to get him fired. I wonder why Kyung Chae has a soft spot for him- is it because he treats Se Ri like a human being unlike the rest of the family? He even took her to the hospital- maybe she feels indebted to him.

It was risky for Stella to mention the takeover to Kyung Chae. Kyung Chae might have got upset with Lucia for discussing company secrets.

As for Kyung Chae- is she not finding it strange that Stella visits so often? Sure, she is a debtor, but it seems like twice in a week.

Soo Jung is so desperate and so easy to manipulate. Why isn't she wondering why Lucia, a newbie, is gossiping about her and her sister on the phone, in a public area?

Ji Seop is so entitled- it would be different if he was capable- but he isn't. Instead of slacking and complaining, he should start studying to understand the business better. I'm surprised he and his wife didn't have a child over the four years; and her parents are not even forcing them to have one😮 .

I wonder where the writers are going with this crush that Ji Seop's father-in-law has developed on Stella 🥴.

Looks like we are heading for a sisterly reunion at the Chairman's birthday party. Will it by accident or will Seon Jae orchestrate it? He has no DNA to test Lucia's against so another test could be her sister, and in front of everyone. I hope that Seol Hui will have secretly reached out to Yeon Ah before then.

I actually don't mind how Manager Gong manages the household. If he had a wife, I would have a problem with it. But there is no wife and her job is to manage the house and family and I think she is doing a fantastic job. She is making sure that everyone has what they need. I am assuming she was hired by his wife before she passed away. Maybe she asked her to take care of him and to make sure he has everything he needs.
Everyone in the family respects her too. I like their relationship.
I also think that going to pay her respects to the his wife was very thoughtful and respectful of her,
It's like the Chairman is living with his personal assistant and some PAs do the same things and more.
Manager Gong and the Chairman are now friends, more that anything, and she is his confidant.

Stella is 69.
I'm not sure about pretending to be her Mom- whoever it is might try to befriend her by saving her from a scam. If it's Lucia- she can tell her Dad about it and it might make him start to warm up to Lucia.
But he does not care about Se Ri 🤔.

At least she recovered nicely- she had such a dark look when she turned around to face him again. She looked really pretty in that scene. He did give her useful information, though. He informed her that Kyung Chae no longer trusts him so they can work to discredit him in Kyung Chae's eyes.

Looks like they are on the roof in the next episode. Will he drag her there for another test?

Tae Gyeong showed more of his naivete- I know he was excited to talk to the driver but to let Lucia follow him? She is a stranger to him at this point. And given that she is considering scamming that small company, she might not be good person and may stab him in the back. We know she is good but he doesn't.

I thought about why he does not recognise her- they only met a handful of times and he could see she was a good and cheerful person. Changing identities requires some level of deceitfulness and he cannot fathom that the Miso's Mom he knew would ever think about doing such a thing. So it has not even crossed his mind that she could be Seol Hui. That, her HR documents, and the fact that Kyung Chae brought her in. He knows how much Kyung Chae loathes Seol Hui so there is no way she could hire her to work in the same division whose launch party was 'ruined' by Seol Hui.

The same goes for the others- Kyung Chae and the Chairman are so proud that they would never even think that the desperate poor Mom they once knew could change so drastically or have the finances to fund such a transformation. The only people who would be able to identify her are people who know her intimately and those are Seol Hui and her sister.

I think she is coming on too strong- she is desperate for results but she needs to be patient. Flirting is not natural to her- like it is with Stella.
Even if they do marry, I think the Chairman will have a clause in there about company shares- maybe she can get some after five years or something. Did he even give his deceased wife any shares?🤔
I wonder if the goal is marriage or just to get him into a compromising position where he is forced to give up shares. It also depends on how many shares his children actually have, collectively. And why would House Manager Gong suggest so flippantly that Se Ri can sell her shares? Does she have her own revenge agenda going on? That was so strange. They need to tell us just how long she has been working for the family.

Maybe it's because romance has been teased from the beginning- I have been invested in their romance since the first episode so I actually want a good romance for them, especially after all they have been through.

🤣🤣it will certainly take a while for her to fall in love 🐌🐌🐌. He will definitely fall first but she is so consumed by grief and has probably not thought about her future after the revenge. It will certainly complicate the revenge.
She might not think she deserves to be happy without Mi So so she will be in denial for a loooooong time.

A big mess- he is like a dolphin playing with sharks.

You said it well- a double-edged sword. But he is sabotaging his own career, as well. I don't think he thought past the point of the driver confessing that the Chairman ordered the death of his parents- so he really has no plan. All he is giving us is anger and those pensive looks. He has really underestimated his enemy- even after working with them for four years. He needs help- a lot of help.
I think hearing what happened to Mi So will help to understand just how serious the situation is.

Will Lucia suggest to Kyung Chae that Se Ri should intern at the company? She did say she would meet her soon 🤔.
This is one of the reasons I worried about Mi So being killed off. Se Ri has no scene partner and is usually by herself or with the adults. Could they bring back Mi So's bestie to avenge her too or even the girl who was imprisoned on her behalf?

Looks like Tae Gyeong has really been working on his own and he even signed a contract that will cost him a lot of money if he fails to make the online platform successful. So did the online platform just fail because the market was bad? Without sabotage on his end? Seems to be the case because Kyung Chae's sole focus has been that platform- she would not have let it fail unless there were extenuating circumstances.

However, I am really glad that Tae Gyeong stood his ground with the Chairman and refused to carry out his orders. He has shown the Chairman that he is not a yes man like Seon Jae and he might just earn the Chairman's respect through that. Unfortunately, from the preview, it looks like Kyung Chae will force him to do it. Maybe Lucia and Stella can help save that small company.

I am getting suspicious of House manager Gong and Yeon Ha- could they be mother and daughter? I can see Gong giving up her daughter so she can continue working for the family.

I don't think anyone could have predicted she would go up there- it's perfectly normal. I think it's a good thing- it shows us that her heart has not been hardened by revenge and I think we will see many more cracks in her facade in the future. I also think there will be many wins and losses in this revenge.

Also- she has only had four years, Stella has had 20 years to steel her heart.

Su Jeong lacks tact. You don't ask someone to be your spy within five minute of meeting them. She does not even know anything about Lucia- she could be an enemy but she does not care. I think it points to her upbringing. She was not raised by the Chairman but by her mother, and I think she portrays that quite well.
At least it gives Seol Hui some insight into just how messy rich families can be.

To the world and the other relatives, he has presented her as his daughter. It must be a plan he and Kyung Chae came up with to hide her true parentage. But he does not see her as a daughter. Remember at dinner one night, he kept complaining about his three kids and Ji Seop kept having to remind him that he has four kids.
He also had to remind Kyung Chae not to be so affectionate towards her so people don't suspect that she might actually be Se Ri's parent and not him.
Even Seon Jae is suspicious.

The Chairman knows exactly who Se Ri is- he would have never allowed her to use his name, or move in, otherwise. Let alone agree to pretend to be her dad.

No worries😂.
Yes, the Chairman knows that Se Ri is his granddaughter- he would have never taken in a stranger or given her his name. He was probably even paying the nannies who were taking care of her before she moved into the house. Kyung Chae must have struck some kind of deal with him.

Kyung Chae might be in jail by then and Se Ri is now an adult so she can't stop them.

Yes, Se Ri needs to be taught a lesson but hers is tricky because she is still kind of like a child. Remember Cinderella Game? How Se Young was redeemed- she didn't even pay for any of her actions- a whole 32-year old whom they claimed was brainwashed so she could not be responsible for her actions. What more a 20 year old Se Ri, in this case?

It's interesting how the Chairman said that Kyung Chae's Mom coddled her the same way Kyung Chae is coddling Se Ri.

I just had a wild makjang theory, which I know will NEVER happen but I will just put it out there:
What if Mi So and Se Ri were switched at birth? A 20-year old pregnant Kyung Chae would have returned from the US. Her father would have refused to help her because of the family's reputation, forcing her to give birth in a small hospital. Seol Hui would also give birth in that hospital. Both births premature. The nurses could have accidentally switched their names. Even though Mi So's death devastated Seol Hui, Kyung Chae would be equally devastated to realise that she caused the death of her biological daughter. She will lose Se Ri too. The ultimate revenge.

Anyway, I'm sure it won't happen because it will just ruin the story and Mi So's memory, and it will rob Stella of a grandchild if her son is the father of Kyung Chae's child. Having her grieve twice would be too cruel. Also, we will need to have the conflict that will arise between Seol Hui and Stella over Se Ri- that will make for a great story.

She will stick with her blood- she has to and it would be disappointing if she didn't. Se Ri might be the last connection she has to her son so she will want to save her. She will argue that Se Ri is the way she is because she lacked love and things might have been different if she was the one who raised her. So she will want to try to 'fix' Se Ri. I won't be surprised if Stella kneels before Seol Hui, begging for her to forgive Se Ri. I also won't be surprised if she does forgive, on the condition that Stella leaves with her and takes her to the US so she does not have to see her again.
This might mark the end of Stella's relationship with both Seol Hui and Tae Joo.

I don't know if Stella feels genuine affection for Seol Hui and Tae Joo or are they just pawns for her revenge? Remember when she told Tae Joo that she had to take Seol Hui with them to the US, no matter what. Maybe in plotting her revenge for twenty years, Stella might be slowly becoming like her enemies.
