The kind way Hae In took time to meet with her husband’s siblings, the way she punished her brother for disrespecting her husband, the way she married a man far behind her wealth and social status all speak volumes about her character. She’s not a bad person at her core.
Hae In seems strong (and she is), but she’s also actually very insecure as well. She lacks confidence and wasn’t loved by her mother. Her insecurity makes her cold and aloof and always ready to fight. It seems her coldness made Hyun Woo insecure which in turn made him cold and distant with her. Maybe he felt useless to her previously. But now, with her illness and his jealousy of the 2ML, he’s starting to see clear enemies around her. Because of that he seems better able to assert himself in the husband/protector role, eg, the way he intercepted when the mom was giving FL a hard time about the business, killing the boar, etc.
I’m not a Hye Won hater like most here, but I clearly see her flaws. One of which, the way she insists people notice her if she feels slighted. So arrogant. She did that with Tae Oh in college and still doing it 10 years later with the Chairman at dinner. She’s an invited guest, yet mouths off like that. No finesse at all. I like a girl who sticks up for herself, but chose the right time and place, kiddo. Pick your battles. Chairman handled her though.
Inha's expressions and body language when he speaks, especially with taeho speak volumes. Have you guys noticed…
I’m irritated that he went after Hyewon in the beginning when he clearly saw there was interest between her and Tae Oh. He just had to have what Tae Oh had. Annoying. Of course, social-climbing Hye Won went along with it and chose In Ha; regardless, it shows In Ha hasn’t ever really been Tae Oh’s true friend. Only if Tae Ho stays in his subservient and inferior lane, like a good little mutt, can they be friends.
Honestly, I feel bad for Hyewon. She is married to the danger, unsuspecting that he’s really using her and that he knew all along that she was using him to social climb. Or, is she really that blind and trusting? Anywho, this is the life she wanted. So, whatever trouble comes, she asked for it.
I really dislike In Ha. He’s jealous of Tae Oh and indignant that he’s been calling the shots. But, clearly In Ha is not as stupid as he originally appeared to be. Turnabout is fair play and obviously In Ha wasn’t going to be content to be the obedient puppet forever. So, his turning against Tae Oh isn’t too surprising. But, I really need Tae Oh to turn this situation around real quick.
