The actor’s mother’s behavior toward MJ reveals deeper psychological layers. Her harsh language and actions may stem from her own past experiences, projecting her fears and memories onto MJ. This use of coarse language is a deliberate attempt to instill fear and disempower MJ, discouraging her from pursuing the actor.

Yet, SJ’s advice to MJ to press forward offers a glimmer of hope. By conquering her fears and standing firm, MJ can overcome the actor’s mother’s tantrums and assert her own strength. Persistence and resilience will ultimately carry the day, allowing MJ to rise above the challenges and claim her place in the unfolding drama.

I have always rooted for MJ and the Actor- MJ's soft spoken stance is reassuring to the Actor.

He now realizes his marriage was based on a lie from the time she appeared at his door purporting SA was his daughter.

I think he has a heart condition as such he does not want to be involved in heated arguments. Case in point today, he was rushed to the hospital. It is a self preservation mechanism for his mental, physical emotional well being.

In her eyes MJ will always be a money pit.

The secret came out today, episode 100 that the actor is adopted.

The actor is her money pot , she does not want to lose it to MJ.

You got that right.

Her son is older than Sang Ah, unless the Actor's brother who is older than her/him.

The actor is adopted

It could be among other things, money related and MJ being her child - my theory.

She is such a control freak. Aside from wanting to introduce him to a 'rich' woman of her choice she has some secrets up her sleeves weighing her down.

There was a link provided by one of the contributors a week or so ago which indicated it might have 127 episodes - an increase of seven episodes.

SJ's mom might be saving the most impactful revelation for the end of the series, which would be ideal. However, given that there’s no honor among thieves, she might choose to expose the truth now, allowing the SA family to stew in their own wickedness for a longer period rather than saving it for the finale. The list of injustices Soon Ae and her family have inflicted upon Man Eun's family continues to grow. If the roles were reversed, Soon Ae wouldn’t hesitate—she would seize the opportunity without a second thought.

She left the back room teary. The conversation she had with SJ must have hit her raw nerves.

A pig will always remain a pig, no matter how you adorn it with pearls or lipdtick - it stays unchanged, just like a leopard cannot alter its spots. Sang Ah, even with her existence tied to being the CEO's daughter, cannot escape her true nature. Despite being draped in expensive clothes and surrounded by wealth, she remains what she always has been - a fraud dressed in fineryis still a fraud.

Yep, they are business marriages, marriages of convenience not born out love.

Gyeol has not been expressing his love save for the flowers he presented when he was discharged from the army. Since then I have observed some withdrawal symptoms exemplied by his lack of communication. At the dinner table his facial expression said volumes. Seri's mom is more in love with Gyeol as she has been doing a lot of the lifting than the couple themselves.

Nouveau riche, she has to keep up appearances by dressing the part.

More prevalent among the rich etc than regular/poor families.
