I've watched enough K and C Dramas that I just assume mothers are pure f'ing trash until they prove otherwise. It's really helped me be less disappointed in them over my drama career lol

Hitting top 4 global time watched after just 2 episodes is INSANE

I just thought about this...

Hui Ju taking the phone is actually probably helping lead Sa Eon to the real kidnapper and mastermind. The fact that the families are the only people in the know about their relationship probably didn't run through his mind during the actual kidnapping, but Hui Ju using intimate details about their relationship caused him to realize it HAS to be someone close to them and start his search in that direction.

If Hui Ju didn't take the phone, he would still be at square 1, but her taking it jumped him to the midway point

TBH, as long as it's not as forced and poorly done as BoA's character in MMH, I'm okay with an "ex" trying to claim ML and causing problems. I don't think that's going to happen though just because shere isn't any romance in this show other than between the leads.

2FL is obsessed with ML and idolizes him, but it seems she realizes she has no shot and he doesn't even give her the time of day. 2ML imo is MAYBE crushing on FL, but seems more just a friend to me, and isn't super flirty or anything towards her so I doubt they will add a triangle at this point, especially since there is so much already going on and it's only 12 episodes

She had no intention or knowledge of the kidnapping. Her taking the phone and using it for her own gain was a spur of the moment decision. I don't know who "master" is, or really even a fleshed out theory at this point.

The kidnappers end game likely isn't ransom imo. The only people that know about their marriage is their families, so it is probably some type of internal power struggle and the actual "master" hired the kidnapper.

Whoever is actually in charge is against Sa Eon, and the kidnapper only knows that Hui Ju has the phone probably because of the news story after he blew up the office and Sa Eon leaked a recording of Hui Ju (thinking it was the kidnapper) to the press, and the kidnapper knew it wasn't him that said that, so he put 2 and 2 together and blackmailed Hui Ju as well to further his and "master's" goals

it's pretty low compared to Fiery Priest S2, but that was a highly anticipated show. To give you an idea, Judge From Hell finale was around 12%. The fact that it increased from last week is a very good sign though

Kind of. The kidnapper told her about the voice modulation and difficult tracking etc. So when she wrecked and made the kidnapper pass out, she stole the phone to use for her gain and is pretending to be the kidnapper.

As for why, she is in a loveless marriage and all his dealings with her are treating her like crap (everything he does for her is purposely unnoticable or easily misconstrued, so she doesn't know about them). She was fine with the marriage until the kidnapping, because she doesn't know that he thought she was safe at home and honestly thinks that he wants her dead, or at least completely fine with that happening.

Using that info, she decided to use the phone and pretend to be the kidnapper to blackmail him into divorcing her, since her prenup and mothers threats make it impossible for her to initiate the divorce. Her thoughts are she needs to get away from the guy that best case scenario doesn't care about her life at all, and worse case actually hoping she would die.

That would still be wrong though lol. BSL and ASL are different. It's common in like any countries media that has sign language and multiple spoken languages though where the writers treat sign as one language and all the verbals can be different

Starting this saying I'm 95ish% sure this is right:
Yeon-Hui married the Chairman of the news company and brought along Hui-Ju. The Chairman had a son and a daughter already. Yeon-Hui is the stepmother of In-A and the (deceased) son, but the biological mother of Hui-Ju.

Yeon-Hui is basically just a gold digger. She has no children with the Chairman. I read in another comment (maybe from the novel?) that Yeon-Hui was the Chairmans mistress, which is why no one questions Hui-Ju being his 2nd daughter.

When they were young, something happened that caused In-A to become deaf, the son to die and Hui-Ju was traumatized, but physically whole. Yeon-Hui forced her to become a mute in fears the Chairman would kick them out if she was fine.

Yeon-Hui, at least now but probably always, didn't give a f about Hui-Ju's dad. She's been picking up the tab for his medical issues to control Hui-Ju. Hui-Ju married Sa-Eon so her father could have better medical care, it was her only demand to accept the marriage.

Yeon-Hui and the Chairman are only paying for the care because they want the relationship with the President if/when he gets elected

I noticed that CSB had 0 internal monologue lines until after she spoke for the first time. That was a really good call imo. Ever since she spoke, we now hear her thoughts, but nothing during the actual kidnapping scene

Nobody but her knows about the 2nd hacking. The parking lot guard guy did the car elevator thing because he assumed she left and had no idea her car wouldn't start. The bodyguards should have done something when the car elevator took her up though. (Maybe they did, otherwise there's no reason for the guard to bring that "empty" bay back down)

Pretty sure it's Sa Eon's dad.

And I could be wrong, but I took it as a diss which is why he acted like that. Chairman was comparing Sa Eon to his grandfather and implying that the greatness skipped a generation.

The part I didn't get is why he was saying that they were hiding Sa Eon away. Dudes the Press Secretary for the Blue House, and is a completely known figure to the entire country lol

If it's a Netflix original, they do. Netflix just owns the streaming rights of the show, they didn't produce it, MBC did and MBC airs their shows weekly

If Netflix wanted to drop them all at once, it wouldn't even be on there until January after MBC finishes airing it

It aired like 2-3 hours ago lol. I would guess the vast majority of watchers haven't seen it yet. Spoiler tags are for things that have happened more than they are for theories. You should spoiler anything that gives something in the show or movie away, especially if it's a recent show.

spoiler tag

That scene made perfect sense to me. He has her phone at the office to "look for hacking" and they communicate through notes app. His phone is the only way they had to communicate.

Even if she had her phone, his was already out and ready

I think it's great how the writers knew watchers were going to call them the JuJu couple, and threw in the curveball of that already being taken by his ex lol

Just started this for the third time and I completely forgot just how much of a little hellion XiaoBiao is at the start lol. He calms down A LOT throughout the show

not sure, usually 45 mins-ish after it finishes airing. But it is on there now

Netflix is telling me next ep tomorrow, so if they're doing that I guess it's regional? At least for this week, they are putting them out in the US the same day they air
