I loved the entire soccer scene and have rewatched several times.
When I saw him being playful on the soccer field and how JJ's son started looking at him differently, it reminded of what he said about their adoption. The Actor did not want to be separated from him. I guess he has something that attracts kids - he totally behaviours like one.
With the police still unaware of both the bloodied jacket and the swaddling clothes, NJ mother emerges as the silent linchpin in this intricate web of deceit. Her actions—stealing the baby clothes from Man Eun that later became crucial in identifying the baby and holding onto the evidence tied to Geo Nam’s death—give her a uniquely powerful position in the narrative.
The Significance of the Evidence: - The swaddling clothes and note not only support the story of the baby swap but also carry sentimental and forensic weight. They directly contradict the narrative that Man Eun was simply abandoned by Pi Su Il and provide a tangible link to the day when everything went wrong. - The bloodied jacket, now in her possession, connects to the moment Geo Nam was removed from the picture. This piece of evidence could reveal the true nature of the events that unfolded on that fateful day—if only it were ever put under forensic scrutiny.
NJ Mother as the Central Connector: NJ mother is the common thread in both sets of evidence. By quietly holding onto these items, whether by choice or circumstance, she has inadvertently become the custodian of the truth. The fact that the police haven’t yet discovered these clues leaves the case in a state of suspended potential—one small misstep or revelation from her end could unravel years of carefully constructed secrets.
Implications for the Story: - If NJ mother decides to disclose what she holds—either to law enforcement or to someone else—it would not only expose the fabrications of the baby swap narrative but also cast new light on Geo Nam’s murder. - Her actions or inactions could dictate the next phase of the drama. Does she keep the evidence hidden to protect her own interests or those of her son? Or is there a moment on the horizon when her killer instincts, honed from years of survival and self-preservation, compel her to act?
A Pandora’s Box Waiting to Open: The potential for DNA testing on the swaddling clothes and the bloodied jacket introduces the possibility of an objective, forensic unraveling of the story. Should that evidence come to light, it would force every character’s hand, from Pi Su Il and Man Eun to NJ mother and SA, reshaping loyalties and exposing long-held secrets.
In this scenario, NJ mother isn’t just a bystander—she’s the keystone keeping the truth both hidden and accessible. What will compel her to finally use this evidence? Is it an unforeseen threat, a moment of clarity, or perhaps a deliberate decision to tip the scales in her favor? This decision could be the catalyst that transforms the entire narrative, shifting the balance of power and exposing the real events behind the baby swap and Geo Nam’s death.
How do you see NJ mother’s internal conflict playing out? Will she remain silent, or is there a dramatic moment looming where her past actions force her to confront the legacy of secrets she's been guarding?
I love the phrase “ Desperate Jeon Nam Jin”. lol He regrets his choice and is very afraid. If I were him,…
He has options. He can tell the truth and shame the devil. If he decides otherwise his death will be in vain and it will be an indellible mark on his daughter considering the culture she is living in.
Pi Su Il’s Story - He was living with Man Eun when Soon Ae and Geo Nam orchestrated a baby swap. - He overheard their conversation and confronted them, leading to Soon Ae attacking him with a stone. - Injured and unconscious, he was moved to the forest and left for dead. - Mizue, who was grieving her own losses, found him and helped him survive. - He lost memories of the time he was attacked but retained his past identity. - After a decade, he saw Man Eun again but mistakenly believed she had moved on with another man and three children. - His indifference toward JJ suggests that he and Man Eun might know the truth about her origins.
Man Eun’s Life After Pi Su Il’s Disappearance - She received a note falsely claiming Pi Su Il had left to fish and that a child from another woman had been left at their doorstep. - This fabricated narrative kept her unaware of what truly happened to Pi Su Il. - By the time Pi Su Il saw her again, she was raising three children, leading him to believe she had moved on. - If she knew JJ’s true origins, she might have chosen to keep Pi Su Il at a distance.
JJ and Her Son - JJ grew up believing a version of events shaped by Man Eun and those around her. - If she is truly Pi Su Il’s daughter, then his absence might have shaped her life in unexpected ways. - Her son represents a new generation, unknowingly connected to a tangled history. - The unanswered question remains: Is JJ’s connection to the baby swap deeper than originally believed?
The Big Mystery - If Pi Su Il and Man Eun know the truth about JJ, why have they avoided reconnecting? - Did Pi Su Il ever realize that JJ was indeed his biological daughter? - Could JJ herself begin uncovering secrets that force the past to come back into focus? - Is there a final confrontation waiting between Pi Su Il, Man Eun, and Soon Ae?
This saga is filled with deception, mistaken assumptions, and long-buried truths. If JJ ever starts questioning her origins, the entire web of secrets could unravel.
What do you think will be the final resolution for Pi Su Il? Will he reclaim his place in JJ’s life, or is his story destined to remain in the shadows?
NJ grips the DNA results tightly, his pulse hammering against his temples. The weight of his discovery is suffocating. His ex-wife, SJ—the woman he left behind to chase power—is the true heiress, the daughter of the CEO himself. The irony is cruel. The dream he abandoned was the real throne, and the nightmare he chose—SA—was merely a deception wrapped in ruthless ambition.
SA knows. Of course, she knows. And yet, she has buried the truth, refusing to let it unravel her meticulously crafted kingdom. For her, the secret is power. Control. The longer SJ remains in the shadows, the longer SA remains untouchable.
But NJ’s knowledge has changed the game. He is no longer a pawn; he is a threat.
SA senses it the moment he begins to pull away—the hesitation in his eyes, the way he suddenly watches her too closely, calculating. She doesn’t need words to understand. She has seen men like him before, and she knows exactly how to deal with them.
If NJ speaks, if he dares to expose the truth to the CEO, SA will unleash hell. She has done it before, erasing obstacles with cold precision. She does not play fair; she plays to win. NJ is well aware of the infamous white truck—the silent executioner for those who stand in SA’s way. Would he even see it coming? Would it be quick? Or would she make sure he suffered first?
He is trapped. Silence guarantees nothing—SA could eliminate him just for knowing. Speaking is a gamble, a razor-thin balance between survival and destruction.
He paces, heart racing. His thoughts are chaos. Regret claws at him—he left SJ behind for this? For lies, for illusions, for a future that was never real? And now he stands at the edge of his own undoing, forced to confront the choices that led him here.
Run, Bambi, Run.
But running without a plan is just another form of dying.
His only chance? A deal. A bargain for survival. If he tells the CEO, it must be under terms—an exchange for protection, for passage out of the country, far from SA’s grip.
I don't think that Se Ri, like the Chairman, has ever been told 'no' in her life. Whatever she wanted, her parents…
My theory......
Rejection, if handled poorly, can take a real emotional toll. It seems like Seri is struggling with this, and it's affecting her health—which is never a good place to be. As for the Chairperson, his old-school mentality adds another layer to the situation. When someone holds traditional views on relationships—where the man leads and the woman follows—it can make navigating modern relationships more complicated, especially when emotions are involved. And after decades out of the dating scene, it makes sense that his approach could use some refinement.
Both Seri and the Chairperson need some time for introspection and adjustment.
The question: Is he capable of evolving his perspective, or is he too set in his ways?
Even though he is set in his ways, he has one redeeming quality - his lack of interference in his children’s lives shows he has some awareness and respect for individual autonomy. If he can apply that same mindset to his own approach, there might be hope for him yet. Observing how his daughter navigates relationships could be eye-opening for him. Sometimes the best way to grow is by seeing how the next generation adapts to the evolving dynamics of the world.
That video KS sent SR with BS saying I love you into the camera will cause trouble if SR’s horrible parents…
That moment of Seri tearing is incredibly telling—it shows just how deeply Seri has become entangled in her emotions. Hearing Boem Soo say “I love you” to his daughter, but interpreting it as meant for herself, reveals the extent of her longing and how much she’s grasping for any sign of reciprocation. It’s heartbreaking in a way, because she’s seeing what she wants to see rather than what’s actually there.
Kang Su’s role in this is also interesting—his innocence and naivety make him an unwitting participant in Seri’s emotional spiral. He likely had no idea that his simple request for Boem Soo to speak to his daughter would trigger such a reaction in Seri.
It’s not just about her parents finding out—it’s about how Seri herself is processing this moment.
Do you think this will push her further into obsession, or could it be a wake-up call for her to reassess her feelings?
As I remember Seri told Bom about not marrying her brother. This is why she went to meet her. She told Gyeol ,…
Here we go again!
In this case, both pictures and videos are captured using the same medium—the phone—and a video is essentially a sequence of images played in rapid succession.
So if Seri had already requested pictures of Hani, it wouldn’t be a stretch for Kang Su to take a video instead.
If Kang Su was already in the habit of sending pictures, switching to video might not have been an independent decision but rather a natural extension of what he was already doing.
Whose child is it anyway?
If Boem Soo is Hani’s father, it would seem more natural for Seri to ask him directly rather than involving Kang Su. The fact that she chose a third party instead raises questions about her motivations.
When she was a TA, she began taking pictures of Hani and hiding them without his consent -it suggests a pattern of behavior that goes beyond admiration—it borders on obsession. Now, with Kang Su involved, it seems like she’s continuing that pattern in a different form, using someone else to do what she once did herself.
Kang Su, being innocent and naive, might not fully grasp the implications of what Seri is asking him to do. If she’s using him as a tool to maintain a connection with Boem Soo indirectly, it raises questions about her intentions. Is she manipulating his trusting nature, or does she genuinely see him as a helpful ally?
I am wondering if squinters had a copy of the recording somewhere else - like in his room wherever he was staying?
It might be on his phone which the police have. The police have only been interested on the calls he made and not any recordings. I hope SJ remembers to prompt the police on what he said - dad and recording. Just hazarding a guess, it could be he sent it to the CEO - thus the words dad and recording.
The relief I felt when Nam Jin's mother was kicked out too😅. Why did she want to stay? At least Sang Ah won't…
The concept of keeping your enemies closer is a strategic approach often used in politics, business, and personal relationships. It suggests that by maintaining proximity to adversaries, you can monitor their actions, anticipate their moves, and potentially influence their decisions.
Here’s how it might play out in different contexts:
- Business & Competition: Companies often collaborate with rivals to gain insights into their strategies, ensuring they stay ahead in the market. - Politics & Leadership: Politicians may form alliances with opponents to keep them within reach, preventing unexpected challenges. - Personal Relationships: Some people maintain ties with difficult individuals to control narratives, avoid direct conflict, or gather information. - Workplace Dynamics: Keeping a challenging colleague close might help in understanding their motivations and preventing workplace disruptions.
In SA’s case, allowing her to work as a cleaner despite being removed from the household could be a way to maintain control, monitor her actions, or ensure she remains dependent on the family. Meanwhile, her creation of a paper company suggests she is using proximity to establish financial leverage.
Who will get Squinters left over money?Sang Ah and Soon Ae should be looking for that too🤭🤣🤣.And did…
Squinters said he spent the money and asked SA for a job as a security guard. SA gave him a dress down, that is why he decided to spill the beans. He called the CEO and informed him that his daughter was closer than he thought. The last person he spoke to was SJ.
Poor Nam jin’s Mom got kicked out and dragged to the salon 😂 she deserves better 😂 nice to see jung bae…
They appeared to be as thick as thieves. But as life would have it, there is no honour among thieves. Pretty soon we will see the spoils of the day as the survival of the fittest game ensues.
Love and obsession can sometimes blur into each other, but they are fundamentally different. Love is built on mutual respect, trust, and emotional connection, while obsession tends to be possessive, controlling, and all-consuming. When love turns into obsession, it can distort reality, leading to unhealthy attachment and even emotional turmoil.
Psychologists often describe harmonious passion as the healthy form of love—where both individuals maintain their independence while supporting each other. obsessive passion on the other hand, can become overwhelming, making one person feel consumed by the relationship.
Yes, Seri's behavior has definitely crossed into obsession. Her attachment to Beom-Soo and his daughter Ha-Ni has raised concerns, especially when she started shopping for baby clothes and asking for videos of Ha-Ni—actions that blur professional and personal boundaries.
Her fixation seems to stem from unresolved emotions and a deep desire for connection, but it's clear that her choices are making others uncomfortable. Beom-Soo even had to fire her from her TA position, which speaks volumes about how far things have escalated.
Enter naive Kang Su......Kang Soo is stepping into a situation without realizing the full extent of Seri's obsession. Since Beom-Soo tends to keep his personal life private, it’s easy for Kang Soo to misinterpret the dynamic between them.
Seri’s actions have been escalating, and her fixation on Beom-Soo and Ha-Ni is becoming more apparent. If Kang Soo continues to help her without knowing the truth, he might unintentionally fuel her obsession.
Do you think Kang Soo will eventually catch on, or is he too trusting for his own good?
Just like with the hairdresser, her and Seri have both fallen in love with one of the brothers and have behaved…
Yes on one hand, I might suspend my disbelief. However, on the other hand, it is a family drama and a baby is being used as a pawn. It is disconcerting to say the least.

Desperate Mr. Jeon Nam Jin
