And they way the directors and disney+ had the audacity to promote this drama as not your typical chaebol drama but in the end it just uses the same old tropes.

I don't think he is actually dying cause if he dies Inha can easily take over.

Am just enjoying this show as a makjang at this point. I guess all those plot holes from episode 1 itself should have been a warning. Although I agree that episode 9 and 10 are much better than previous episodes.

I still don't understand Hye Won and Taeoh's motivations. At this point Hye won just exists to help out Taeoh. Same with the chairman. I still don't understand why someone smart as the chairman trusts someone so wily as Hyewon especially to manage his trust funds and even more because they haven't shown anything that indicates that she is good at business.

Also I was laughing at the chairman saying he will give back everything to Taeoh. So basically Taeoh will get his job back , that's it.

Dying at the line about playing corpses 😂

I have seen this theory a lot but I hope it is not true. Mainly becuase I cannot belive kdrama writers would keep us showing scenes of Huijiu pining for her half brother for above ten years. The story will just go into some very weird territory then (even weirder than what is currently shown). But then again the writers of this drama are terrible so I won't be too suprised if it ends up like this 😂

There was a scene in one of the trailer of Taeoh seeming to be standing in the chairman offices. So i think it might be safe to say that he ends up owning Kangoh. He is wearing a coloured tie whereas as a secretary all his ties were black so that scene might be showing him as chairman of Kangoh. Ba Hye Won will probably continue ro reach a high role in politics judging from another scene in the trailer where she and her boss are meeting the president. She is wearing a white outfit there.

Her character is more mature now than some of the other characters like inha and taeoh are acting.

It is kind of sad to see how badly the writers fumbled this drama. Last week I saw a lot of anticipation for the episodes but today it feels very less. Guess a lot of people have dropped it. I too am staying on just because I want to see the ending.

Not just because of the female lead.'s acting. The writing is not the best, there are a lot of unexplained plot holes and the characters lack depth which will explain their actions. Not to mention there is no chemistry between the female lead and the male leads. This drama was promoted as something different,a different type of chaebol drama but in the end it is the same type of drama using too many flashbacks and too many cliches.

I find it interesting tha Huijiu is the only one not affected by Hye wmWon taking over the art centre. Does she really not care about the family business at all. I hate that the writers took such an amazing character and are turning her into an one track minded alcoholic.

Even the chairman whom i felt was the m second most consistent character changed in episode 8. Are we really supposed to believe a paranoid man who does background checks on everyone and is ready to screw over his own children will willingly give an improtant position to someone like Hye won, who as mentioned earlier was working for a candidate he didn't like. Make it make sense.

As to Hye Won being the heir, does she think owning Kangoh is that easy. If she had worked for Kangoh , maybe i could undertand it. Like taeoh and Inha both worked for Kangoh, they understand it's structure and I can understand them becoming the heir. But so far the drama has not showed me anything that she has what it takes to run a business especially a large conglomerate like Kangoh. In fact maybe that's how the writers will end her off, going mad from all the business dealings.

I don't have much expectations for the ending. All i want is a happy ending for Huijiu, but one thing i hope the writers address is show why Taeoh choose Kangoh. Like was there something relatd in his past or I am just going to assume that Taeho had a dartboard with a list of chaebol companies to take over and the dart landed on Kangoh.

I need to know what they spent the 20 million budget on. Cause with a story like this, it feels wasted.

What was the point of Taeoh spending all those years as the chairman's secretary only to have no power at all. I meam he had the opportunity to make useful connections but seems like he was jsut too arrogant and got ahead of himself.

Regarding the female lead casting, i saw this comment on reddit which explains it.

"Apparently the director himself requested her for the role as he felt she'd be perfect for it. Maybe he saw one of her cameo roles that she got a bit of audience attention for and liked her. You could speculate forever on his reasoning but in the end it does feel like the wrong choice was made."

Wonder what role the director saw though. In fact i am planning on watching Sweet Home so maybe her acting is better there.

The drama already finished filming though.

This makes sense. Seung Joo might be an insecure mummy's boy but that is just his upbringing. He understands the business well and has better business capabilites than Inha. Maybe this theory will come true. I still don't understand how the writer will make Taeoh the impossible heir unless he marries Huijiu.

This is such a valid point. Both of them would probably be ruined socially and the chairman of Kangoh, Taeoh would need lot of social connections so he might not necessarily get together with Hye Won. In fact I have been worndering about this point a lot that someone like he chairman who is so conscious about his reputation let Inha marry Hye Won who has no background at all. She is even working for a political candidate he doesn't like. Even though Inha is illegitimate, he has been acknowledged as the third son so who he marries will have to be impactful and if this was any other drama, half an episode would be spent trying to get the chairman's consent to the marriage

I have been worried about this ever since Huijiu said that she will marry Taeoh whatever the way. I love her character but am scared the writers will ruin her. Afterall she did grow up in a bit of a dysfunctional family, it is hard to believe that she is the only normal one. I still want to believe in the Taeju ship but I feel the writers will make hyewon and Taeoh end up together.

True. Another possibility is that once the drama was filmed the producers edited it and changed it so that it no longer resembles the original script given to the actors. I have seen this happen a lot in cdramas.

The main thing that is making me mad about this drama is that it was promoted as revenge centric drama, Romance was meant to be an after thought, but feels like the writers are pushing the love triangle and the romance. At this point it can be called a romance drama. Because guy like girl, girl ends with guy 2 and the guy spends 10 years pining for that girl which is generally a plot of a romance drama. They should have just ignored the romance and shown us how Taeoh helps Inha become chairman.
