I Googled and the blue orchids are very rare but looks different from what's shown in the drama. It is categorised under red or rare. It don't grow in large numbers and that's why its rare.

Every human being is different. If 100 people are put in a same situation they all will behave in 100 different ways. If every single person behaved the same way what's the difference between human being and robots.

She grew up without being worried about money unlike in Joo or in hye. What mattered to her was self respect and dignity which were always questioned in the society she grew up in. Its said that she was always the first one to be doubted if something gets stolen at her class. So it's very much understandable why she is so morally uptight and has high principles.
Its also very much understandable why in Joo is so obsessed with money and why her brain stopped working after getting so much money.

She was the oldest and seeing how her parents are she never had anyone to look after her. In Kyung had great aunt who gave her good education and in Hye is an inborn artist who had 2 sisters to look after her. I think it's said in an earlier episode that she only did some basic course on accounting and don't have enough education to brag about. it's very hard for a woman to have a successful career in a society like Korea with an educational background like that. So the easiest way for her to have a comfortable like is to marry a rich guy.
In Joo right now is conflicted between doing the right thing and getting what she wanted from childhood. She can either choose to bring justice to her dead friend or live a comfortable life at the expense of her dead friend. She also have to think about her sisters and keep them safe. No matter what she chooses to do she will somehow put her sisters in danger. Whether its bringing justice to HW or running away with the money she will have to go against PJS and family.

The initial money to invest was given by her aunt and she didn't want to take anything related to her aunt. Then she never made enough money of her own to invest in stock market. She fears if she gets the high of money she will end up becoming like her aunt who don't see anything beyond money.
Unlike her sisters, she don't think the solution to everything is money as she never grew up in the kind of environment her sisters grew up in.

Both in Joo and in Kyung are learning from their mistakes as well. I would have been annoyed with in Kyung if she was a well experienced journalist who had multiple experiences of dealing with people like pjs. But she is not. Everyone learns to walk by falling down 2-3 times and they learn to run after learning to walk properly. Why do some people expect in Joo and in Kyung to be super smart and clever and always a step ahead of people like pjs who are already masters at everything
evil?
Pjs is already way too high and if he becomes the mayor then he will be untouchable for someone like in Kyung.
If bringing down powerful corrupt people then the world would have been a better place.

This is the first episode i am seeing potential in in hye and i didn't dislike her. She clearly is upto something but like her sisters she isn't aware of the danger she is gonna put herself in.
Pjs and sanga are so twisted and crazy that I don't even trust their daughter hyorin 😂. If she is their biological daughter then i won't trust her till the last scene of this drama 😂

I am gonna miss the aunt.
In Kyung will finally understand her aunt and might start being more calm and clever. Till now she didn't had an idea of how dangerous everything is and was being an idealistic person trying to bring down pjs. She wasn't thinking of the consequences. After the warning from the aunt and seeing someone close to her getting killed she will realise what exactly she is up against. Till now she thought she is up against a corrupt politician but now she realised he was just the tip of an iceberg and she is up against an entire system filled with powerful people. Something that has been there even before pjs entered the game.
In Joo and in Kyung are finally realising the potential of their rivals. They till now wasn't expecting anything this big and thought they can get out of this unharmed.

Nam ji Hyun ate a lot of calories for that sponsorship 😂

We cannot be sure that he has been honest with her. He is still shaddy af. Its perfectly fine if in Joo don't trust him but she shouldn't trust others either.

Wasn't there another woman who died in a similar way? How many years ago was that incident?

That house is a mystery in itself. Has a room with a giant ass tree with a lot of poisonous orchids and now has a mysterious stairs 🙄. Living in that house might be more scarry than living in a actual haunted house😂.

It seems like songa gives that orchid to people who enters her personal space like in hye and in Joo. Unlike that thug secretary who is more there to look after the empire they created, in Joo and in hye does personal work for songa.

Don't think so.
In Kyung is 28-29 and in Hye is 16-17. There is a huge age difference. In Hye wasn't born when the 3rd child died. In Kyung was soon send to great aunt after the death. Somewhere it's said that in Joo is 3-4yrs older than in Kyung. So there is atleast 15yrs difference between in Joo and in hye. In Joo looked way younger than a 14yr old when the 3rd child died. In Kyung was too young to even remember she had a 3rd sister. In Hye might have been born atleast 3-4yrs after the 3rd child died. There is no way that much age difference is there between in hye and hyorin.

Please put spoilers.

I also think she is the main villain. She was more tensed seeing the great aunt than pjs.
Also this is completely a women oriented drama. So at the end she might be the real villain.

I think she is trying to get her hands on something that can provide guarantee to her and her sister's life. By now she might have understood that she and her sisters are disposable people for pjs. She wants to fulfill her dreams and for that she needs something that she can use against pjs so that he will let her have the life she wants.

Its not an adaptation. The characters are somewhat inspired by the characters in the book and that's it.

I recently started watching alchemy of the soul and the ML is pretty hot blooded and impulsive and indecisive at the start. He is inexperienced with being a mage and fails against almost everyone in a fight. He is selfish as he asks help from a girl that used to kill his kind of people and want to get a hold on an extremely dangerous thing so that he can save the girl he loves. He don't care if that thing can bring destruction to the world.
I went through the comment section and i don't see anyone telling how annoying or dump or selfish the ML is. No one says how dumb he is to get defeated 10times in a row against people more trained than him.
Then i come to this comment section and sees people hating on every single thing in Joo and in Kyung does. Everyone wants female characters to be perfect and if they do anything impulsive or because of their lack of experience in it then they are selfish and dumb and what not. Nobody cares that in Kyung is doing the right thing and is trying to bring down people that have killed god knows how many people. She is a hot blooded impuslive person. So obviously she will make a lot of mistakes. She is also up against much older and more experienced people. So obviously they will be way ahead of her in this game for a long time.

There was nothing dumb or selfish in what in Kyung did. She is just inexperienced and hot blooded. One cannot expect a 28yr old woman who is up against rich an powerful people to win at every single step she takes. Pjs and his wife have an army of people to protect them and they themselves have been fooling people even before in Kyung learner to walk.
In Joo just started to learn the game and just learning how evil and corrupt these people are.
It will be extremely unrealistic if the sisters all of a sudden start being 2 steps ahead of these people.

Korea is very particular with age difference and i highly doubt they will show in Kyung's friend ending up with in hye.

I have only seen little women movie, i guess the one with wiona Ryder ages ago. Don't remember much except the second sister not ending up with her best friend and after years he ends up with her sister. I guess he becomes somewhat of a Casanova after getting rejected.
