Yes, I understand.

How exactly is Lucia going to prove Gyeong Chae is responsible for the kidnapping?
Will the chairman just take her word?

I'm still shaking my head every episode about how unprepared Stella and Lucia act. This time it was Stella's turn to act all frightened when bullied by Seon Jae. Did these people do their homework? Wait, I know the answer...it's a big fat NO (uppercase for emphasis, not yelling.😁).
How in the world did they think this revenge plan would work if they aren't aware of all the players, their roles, their strengths and weaknesses, etc. I know, I'm singing the same song that everyone has already sung. It's just so frustrating.
What a great premise, but poorly executed and a complete failure outside of kdrama land.
It should come with a warning label: "Do not attempt this at home. May result in total and utter humilation and even loss of life due to foolishness."

I think he is talking about Lucia, but obviously he already knows her "Lucia" identity is fake. I think he's trying to bluff Stella...1)He may be thinking that Stella may not know that HE already knows who Lucia really is or 2) He wants Stella to think he has a way to prove that Lucia's identity is fake.
He's hoping that Stella will panic and that will give him leverage.

But she and Stella do care about their revenge plan...if something happens that prevents the chairman from getting the punishment that they hoped for, even if he gets some other punishment, they might not be happy.

😁

I agree! The problem with putting SJ in his place is, I think, the possibility of reacting too quickly and going all in. If that doesn't work then he's even more dangerous and probably can't be stopped. They have the ledger that should keep him in check, but they might not be able to use that yet (other than as a threat) because that will implicate the chairman as well. That could possibly interfere with the overall revenge plan.
Weasel that he is, he certainly knows how to protect himself.

Admitting ignorance and saying I had to go look up limerance/limerant object.

It does seem to fit, but it also seems to describe a stalker!

I don't think Eun Oh had gotten quite to the stalkerish point, since they are/were friends, but she was close!

It always felt weird to me that she did that. I wouldn't want to be watched either.
But, it was rude on Lucia's part. She maybe could have been nicer, but she might not have gotten the result she was looking for, which was for Chairman Min to "dismiss" Manager Gong.

Behind Gyeong Chae, I have Manager Gong tied for second (with Seon Jae) for the "danger, danger Will Robinson!" award.😃

You might be right...if he gets way too greedy with what he wants, she might think he's not worth dealing with and take care of him. I don't think it will happen right away.

Yes, we'll see. It could get interesting!

Yes, it may be a little darker, or maybe the others are just really pale. I don't really see the dullness, though.

I agree with everything you said, except I do sort of wish for Eun O(h) and Seong Jae to get together and leave Ji Hyeok to live the blissful, single life he seems to desire and grow old...alone. That sounds harsh, but if that is what he wants so badly, then let him have it.
He may think he's getting autonomy and financial freedom from this marriage, but I think he's in for a rude awakening. (I do still wonder what his conditions are...my guess is that they play the loving couple in front if his family for one. Not sure about the rest).

I know the above won't happen, but right now, I'm mad at just about every character except Seong Jae...no wait...I'm a little mad at him as well...😁...but anyway, I'm mad enough that
I want that apple cart turned completely over and everything all
jumbled up from the usual kdrama
formula!

Sorry if I overloaded you with my reply! I've been thinking about this since Sunday. One of the drawbacks to week-end dramas...you have all week to stew about things.😆

I think she needs the lawyer too much to get rid of... at least for now.

I agree. It was really annoying in yesterday's ep. Her voice was annoying to me also.

I need help also. We'll watch with one eye and one ear open!🫣

Gyeong Chae's not playing around at this point, she's going for blood...any win for her is disastrous for the loser!😆

Sigh...Lady Lucia of the flared nostrils and glaring eyes. To me that is what she did the most of in the latest episode.

Gyeong Chae is losing it more and more each episode. I fully believe her when she says she could commit murder.

Ok, yeah, that is probably the reason for the flinch.

I did notice the flinch...the thought that crossed my mind was..."does she have a thing for Seong Jae?"
Maybe she wants Dad, sister, and Eun O out of the way!😂

Yes, they can join forces.

Even if Lucia has married or just slept with the chairman, Manager Gong can still show the poster.

Things are going to get dicey soon!

Ok, maybe Lucia gets to the Min house before Seon Jae can take the ledger back.
Also, something will prevent Seon Jae from telling the chairman Lucia's real identity or it's game over and we have too many episodes left! So not going to stress about all that.

If Gyeong Chae and Ji Seop join hands, they may be able to do damage to Lucia and Soo Jeong or block them from making any progress.

Manager Gong is the person I'm really worried about. If she finds that poster and shows it to the chairman...scary.
