The break-up was so relatable. While in our case the reasons were different, breaking-up with your first love (we were first love to each other) is never easy. The person will always have a special place in your life, and that pain becomes a part of you.
Like them in this episode, we had to pour everything for that final goodbye, otherwise, we won't be able to continue with our lives. Yes, we know, because when we did that, it was 11 years after we broke up. We thought we poured out everything on the night of our break-up, however, it took 11 years for us to realize we did not. It was like the threads of fate kept on making sure our paths often cross, it only stopped after we did pour everything.
First loves are special. It is when we learn a lot of things about ourselves, the people around us, and the wild and crazy world. It's when we first experienced to give ourselves for someone. Our first to feel deep pain because of someone we hold dear. The first time we understand that there is indeed something that can stop our lives if they're no longer with us. First time we can not imagine tomorrow without our significant other.
A very good episode. Gread execution, scenes, and editing. I literally forgot the actors, especially IU, and only saw two people who loves each other but the universe is against them. Two people who had to make the most painful decision in their lives because they understood nothing good will come out if they stayed together.
This should be renamed to: «The Art of Traveling Using Company's Coffers». 😝 They even successfully hid it as "part of the story". 😅 You know, "we had to go to Japan to make it authentic" and "we have to book an expensive resort in Jeju, because fans want authenticity, but don't worry we got a discount". 🤪
Told you. 🙂 The clues as to who is ML's father started to drop in the episode where they showed the flashback…
Which brings to: Why is Yeom in favour of getting the illegitimate son's mom to get married to the Chairman?
It's because the ML is alive and he can't kill him because of the money.
If his puppet Ildo gets the company, and they later discover the identity of ML, Yeom knew Ildo will no longer be under his control and he'll lose the company to the ML + the money.
So, he started planning. He jumped into the marriage plan to ensure that Ildo and the ML won't get the company even if they later found the truth.
At this point, his puppet is useless for him. His son is better than him. It was his son who planned the marriage. Yeom practically did nothing, the ML handed the company to him.
For Yeom, "you can have my money but you'll never have the company".

Told you. 🙂 The clues as to who is ML's father started to drop in the episode where they showed the flashback for the photos.
There were two photos. The first photo, all of them were facing the camera. In the second photo, ML's father (who is the Stepfather of FL) was looking at ML's mother.
That was the first clue pointing to his identity. He was already suspecting her son to be his.
Then in E11, they continued that flashback. On that same day, Ildo followed them. It also happened to be the same day FL's mother told him "I wish they're all dead". Ironically, it was also the day that Yeom planned to kill the three of them.
1. Yeom wants the FL's bio dad dead because he probably was fighting him, re: company 2. Yeom wants the ML's mom and him dead because his puppet, Ildo, is losing his focus.
Yeom gave Ildo, through the truck driver, a fake DEA test result. He got angry. His best friend cheated on him + The love of his life cheated on him = kill them all.
Perfect manipulation.
Well, until they learned in E12 that the kid is actually DJ. Except for Yeom, he always knew, maybe not in beginning but he was able to piece together everything before anyone else did.
1. Mr. Stepfather loves ML's mom, and had a secret son with her.2. He was caught looking at them when his best…
The second photo. He was caught looking at ML's mom in the secoed shot.
Also, Yeom in E11 confirmed it too when he said, after ML left, "he better be better than his father". The only useless underling close to him is Ildo. So, that's the "father" he was reffering to. He always knew ML is his son.
Third, E11 flashback, he showed a fake DNA to Ildo. As I explained above, it was to ensure his underling will kill them. He manipulated his emotions by making him believe the love of his life cheated on him.
1. Mr. Stepfather loves ML's mom, and had a secret son with her. 2. He was caught looking at them when his best friend carried his son. 3. FL's mother anways loved Mr. Stepfather but he only has eyes on ML's mother. 4. Then her husband carried the son of her mortal enemy. 5. FL's mother is so jealous and angry she wished them all dead: her husband, the woman she hates, and her son. 6. Mr. Manipulator is the benefactor / master of Mr. Stepfather. 7. Mr. Manipulator noticed his puppet losing focus, so he planned to have them killed. 8. He showed his puppet a fake DNA test. This made him angry, "my best friend betrayed me", "my wife betrayed me", and "that kid must die too". 9. Mr. Manipulator then forced him to marry the FL's mother. 10. The FL's mother was too happy her crush now wants to marry her, but she had no idea it was all planned. 11. FL's mother probably thought to use her knowledge that he killed 3 people because she told him her wish. In reality, he never planned so, he was just following them. But Mr. Manipulator's plae coincided.
