I think her reasoning is that JY's brother will be worse for the company than JY, so that's why she is covering for JY. I'm sure that if this money laundering hurt somebody directly, like the James case, she would have come forward with it. But she seems to regret it anyway.

Ah Jeong, I was defending you all this time for you to turn out to be a schemer? Such a disappointment!

Yeah it's been steadily going up week to week

I fear the same. The love triangle feels unnecesary at this point, robbing us from precious time between our main leads. I am hoping we'll get back on track with the comedy & sexiness just like we started.

Ok so I'm not a fan of a hospital plot, but then I remember that in Perfect Crown the leads were in hospital 2 times EACH so it could have been worse 🤣

Oh yeah that is a possible explanation too.

They have yet to explain the reason for their breakup. He was probably getting married and wanted her to be the mistress, so she must have felt betrayed.

Well, Jae-Yeol was overstepping her boundries a bit too much so I think that's why Ki-Jun was so aggressive. But it was way too much on his part, I agree (tho it was a match, and had Jae-Yeol not been a chaebol, it wouldn't be as bad)

I was certain that it will take a lot of time for In-ah to accept her feelings for Ki-Jun, but her throwing away the mascot in the office in ep 10 preview is too much. Is this a noble idiocy sign (her stepping away to protect him from 2ML)? Eh I wish not. I have no idea how they will wrap up the US transfer storyline but it doesn't look too good... also I want to see more Ki-Jun, ep 9 was very Jae-Yeol focused.

(I'm not excusing her hitting on 2ML ofc)

I really hope Ah Jeong will grow on more people after ep 9! She clearly cares about the ML deeply and wants him to be happy

I'm sorry, but as a person from country that has been occupied more than once, this is a big deal. I am with knetizens on this one.

No, I don't think you're reading too much into it at all. The clothes definitely lack the scandalous factor, which could be achieved by more intricate designs and clever construction, like you said. And sadly, further episodes showcase it even more. There are scenes where she picks jewelry (which is definitely an ad) and she chooses and praises the most basic necklace ever. Even in "normal" dramas styling is a vital part of storytelling, and here it should be even more important if she has a fashion company, but her fashion choices are telling a whole different story from the script.

Wasn't that in ep 9?

The evening ball really implied it, and then they went back to the queen loving Ian all this time.

Oh this is such an unpopular opinion, but I agree completely. I mean they wanted us to believe that she has a fashion company and her looks sell out every time. And I felt the way she dressed was a bit... meh? It was especially apparent in those episodes when she was supposed to wear traditional clothing to the palace but she just wore a suit... not very groundbreaking tbh. She was also overshadowed at the party, by the queen's midnight blue dress. And after the marriage the clothes she wore were really old-fashioned. Overall, the queen was the better dressed at each occasion.

I went back to ep 1, and the dialogue between Inah and Jaeyeol doesn't imply that she came back to Korea willingly. He says "do you regret coming back?" And she answers "if I do, can I return to US?". And then he laughs. So I think he was the one who brought her back. Why would she, if she has no family, friends, and wants to distance herself from her father?

I will repeat myself over and over: S2 was never a thing. It was a wish from ENA/the producers, who just saw how popular S1 was. The actors never agreed to take part in it. Great that the director finally adressed it publically.

I agree, her behaviour toward 2ML isn't the greatest, but she is definitely not toxic towards the ML, and is not holding his relationship back. She wants to make 2ML jealous holding ML's arm but she clears the living-together misunderstanding at once when she sees that In-ah could see the ML in a bad light because of it.

I feel similar. If she can't have the audit team be truly independent (from the 2ML), I don't think she will stay.
