We find out more about BSE's past + biological father
we find out about the chairman (BSE's grandfather) + its confirmed he was adopted
BSE confronts the psychiatrist
Hong In-A tells HHJ about BSE being adopted
BSE gets blackmailed by kidnapper using a video which he shares with the reporters
And a whole lot of cute scenes (but unfortunately no more kisses😭)

I don't understand hong in-a's deal...like she walked out of the marriage (and only because he wasn't the biological son? that also makes her personality seem bad ngl) and now she's back and she suddenly starts trying to break heejoo and sa-eon's relationship? she doesn't seem normal...I feel like she def has a reason for coming back...maybe it has something to do with the accident they were all in as kids? (the truck accident/murder is a classic plot in most kdramas afterall)

frr he was straight up inhaling him in the elevator😭😭

The part about the actor's looks is so true..over the years there are so many kdramas that are purely visuals and no substance that people are willing to rate a badly made show really well as long as the cast is good looking..

Personally i never really thought he was ugly but yeah he doesn't look like he is 20 (which is acceptable considering his age is twice that)

The most senseless scene hands down is when she is sitting in the living room in front of a huge family portrait of chairwoman shin's family with Yu jin and doesn't notice it (ep 15)💀

they should have given us 4 episodes to make up for last week😭😭

Some thoughts so far:
1. Candidates for Richard han:
- Shin Yeojin's husband : why? because when goo jiseok wass begging shin yeojin and he was seen in a car observing the scene somberly and there did not seem to be anyone else willing to take him in that was powerful enough...besides we already know he blamed his wife's work for their daughter's disappearance so maybe he's joinning hands with jiseok to ruin the empire she has built?

but then, why did he go to America? did he find out about yun yujin? If so then why did he not tell his wife about it? why did he not find out about her son?

- Ha Na's (fl) Dad: this one is a bit farfetched but, he seems to be a very mysterious person that supposedly died when she was younger, but what if he didn't? maybe shin yeojin tried to kill him but was unsuccessful in her attempt to do so and inorder to protect his young daughter he went to america and took the name of Richard Han and he secretly built enough money to become the investor that destroys shin yeojin


Will chairwoman shin mistake ha na as her daughter because of the whole DNA thing? like she analyses the grandsons DNA and assumes that Ha na is her daughter? or could it be that Ha na is actually her daughter? So far we know that Ha Na was adopted by the Goo family that was close to Shin yeojin, nothing was said about the age difference between ha na and yujin so they might aswell be half sisters....But then if she really cared about her daughter she wouldn't have abandoned Ha na like that right? idk why but something really smells fishy about the Goo parents like they adopted her when they were about to welcome a third member to their family (and it would be unlikely that they suddenly grew to want a child ovrnight right? I think there was def some sort of external influence in that decision and the fl might actually be way more mysterious than we think

the synopsis seems to be mistranslated....the fl is basically the adopted eldest daughter of her dad's friend's family (they have 3 other biological younger kids ) and when she was in highschool both parents pass away and she is forced to work at her young age to support the family and become the breadwinner.... But before being adopted she was in a orphanage where she meets yun yujin who is the daughter of the chairwoman shin yeojin, but she went missing as a child and lost her memories and doesn't remember anything including her name or past, so she is given the name Lee Du Na since fl's name is Lee Ha Na ....the two of them become close and become sworn sisters of sorts? then after fl gets adopted, Du Na also gets adopted by a family who emigrates to US soon after

Then there is a timeskip, the fl's brother (oldest of the bio kids) is no longer living with them, she is working as a tour guide and seems to be barely making ends meet and she has an adopted son (who happens to be Du Na's son) and his mother seems to have passed away sometime in the timeskip......

She meets Hwang jin goo who works for shin yeojin and although their meeting wasn't the best the eventually grow close to each other

it doesn't seem like a love triangle though it will be highly likely that the man marrying her will be pining for her affections despite her loving someone else...it could also be that she and her husband love each other and the whole thing is just a misunderstanding...ig we'll just have to wait and watch TT though i'm hoping for the latter

the drama starts with her getting convicted for the crime of "keeping" 2 men of which I assume she is married to atleast one

I really liked this drama so far but I wish they hadnt used the twin plot.....like its annoying because I can't decide on whom to ship...It would have been easier if they were different individuals because it sounds weird when you thing of a woman cheating on a man with a person who looks the same TT

I think maybe she will officially be married to one (the the magistrate's son) and love another (the storyteller)

kisskh

I dont think its happy or sad rather its just him coming to terms with being alone (he doesnt end up with anyone) so i'm inclined to say its bittersweet because his dreams came true but not his love

I think they just made up that name and used it because "kylie" also stands for his HIV right?

I believe he told him that he had HIV and that he called it kylie

Did you not see how she was post breakup? To me it felt more like he was protecting her from suffering that kind of heartbreak again. He may have even lied about having feelings for her to get him away from her, besides he was there for her when the ML wasn't (whtever his reasons may be).

And he also got assaulted by him at one instance which makes him see the ML as an aggressive and immature guy who doesn't deserve the FL, and he probably thinks she is too caught up in her feelings to remember what she was like in the past after the breakup.

i kept thinking this was familiar to something else I had seen NOW I FINALLY KNOWW -- "Our beloved Summer"...

what do you mean by that? she repeatedly tells him they are just friends and she doesn't give him any hope..if he still holds onto something it means HE is delusional

besides he helped her a lot in the past and present so she can't just cut him out of her life and there are some people like him who are genuinely kind but are a bit playful

its either her sister or the 2ML's brother that caused his trauma
