I don't think the ex would truly hurt DH. In fact he'd probably cheer him for finally facing his fears (since this seems to be the whole reason why the ex scorns DH so much)


The sister though is a whole other story. She might set the whole place on fire the way she is going. Since the grandfather denounced her, he's also on her hit list now. She might expose the grandfather's secret in hopes of influencing the rest of the board to accept her and oust the grandfather. 🙊

But as always, her plan will probably backfire.

Think they bonded after getting drunk in ep 10. Hell the SFL even went out of her way to help the FL by talking to DH

Exactly. Why else would the grandfather push the future of his group to DH (an artist with no interest in business)?

He refused to let the eldest grandson take over because he is incompetent which is fair enough. The sister is too greedy. If the grandfather really doesn't want to give the company to JH even if he is the best option, there's always the possibility of hiring a professional Manager outside or check for other internal connections.

Protecting DH is a strong enough motive to risk it all.

Yeah I understand what you mean. I don't think the writers imagined there'd be so much chaos when they wrote that line into the script 🙈

Fair enough - that's how you feel.

Yes, exactly. The grandfather was mad at DH for continuously putting himself in danger by trying to come out.

The thing though is that in the end both JH and DH admitted that they were selfish in their own way.

I guess knowing how extra fans can get, the writers could have phrased it a bit better but honestly considering we are talking about an arguement between 2 brothers, calling the other selfish is a very common thing for siblings to do.😅😅😅

He isn't smiling- it's just that he finds DH's accusations thrown at him so rediculous, he choses to mock/ annoy DH with his taunting smiles.

The ex is just hurt and frustrated that DH keeps hiding.

Being gay in SK is complicated, so as somebody who seems to be comfortable with himself, I guess the Ex is just frustrated that DH goes out of his waay to hide his secret (hiding is fine but DH's actions are extreme to the point that it keeps affecting others).

In the ex's pov:
1. DH abandoned him

2. DH chose to marry his friend and drag her into his mess

3. DH is blindly accusing the ex for stalking and damaging his property and refuses to listen to him (even with the issue with the reporter- DH immediately accused the ex that he spoke to the reporter when in reality, the ex got rid of the reporter)

But we do know that while the ex is disappointed about DH, he still cares about him at least abit. He could have spoken to the reporter but without hesitation he refused. Talking to JH was a terrible move but if the ex is aware of how much JH cares about DH, JH would be a good target to taunt DH without truly hurting DH since JH would never take advantage of DH's secret.

Tbf Ji Han apologized for overreacting later. It was just too much to take at that point. More than hiding the fact that AJ knew bout the secret, Ji Han was hurt that AJ didn't have faith in him to resolve the issue with Dh directly. (Remember he asked for time to talk to his brother but when he saw AJ with DH, he misunderstoon the scene assuming that AJ didn't believe in him enough to wait).

Agreed. Even the step siblings / ex's reason for being selfish is justifyable to a point if you look at their perspective.

The series needs to be watched with an objective mindset, then it isn't as complicated as some comments make it out to be 🙊

What if this is the grandfather's way of protecting DH since he feels guilty aabout the mother's death and he thinks that being a gay cheobol can put DH in a dangerous position?

No matter how underhanded he has been with DH's secret, bottom line is, the grandfather wants to protect DH by giving him power (through the group) and respect (through CEO's connection). Perhaps he is afraid that history will repeat itself if DH comes out? Since he failed to protect his daughter, this is his second chance?

He only accepted AJ after he found out DH only trusts her. So it's not surprising that he would at least try to compromise with DH as long as he can hide DH's "gay" status🙊

Your theory makes sense. The father was definitely flustered when the daughter brought up the case.

The grandfather's obsession with DH also makes more sense if you look at it from the angle you mentioned. No matter how underhanded he has been with DH's secret, bottom line is, the grandfather wants to protect DH by giving him power (through the group) and respect (through CEO's connection). Perhaps he is afraid that history will repeat itself if DH comes out? Since he failed to protect his daughter, this is his second chance?

True...either way the grand father is suspicious. Why isn't he even trying to stop JH since JH's confession is effectively a bad mark on LJ Group.

Would love to know why the grandfather is obsessed about DH to the point where HE is willing to sacrifice the company. He easily wrote off all theother grandchildren, so what's different about DH?

JH himself admitted that he was being greedy so I won't disagree with you. But I still find it odd how the grandfather picked the exact hall to get hold of DH at the end of ep 10.

It's possible the Grandfather guilt tripped JH into doing it. JH was already trying to find a way to protect DH, so it wouldn't be that difficult to influence JH into taking all the blame

Jeez - same here! Like the thing with the ex for instance- I'm almost certain, it's the grandfather who beat him up.

The timing is just too coincidental 🙊🙊🙊

Seriously!? Even I was soooo surprised by the number of haters🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I personally loved how they handled the brothers' conflict and how AJ found peace in her decision without really hurting DH in the end. Even CEO Yoo was brilliant 🙊

As much as i dislike the sister, even the way how she handled the mother's case with the grandfather wasn't that bad. She gave him a chance to explain (and she definitely has the right to know).

I don't think the SFL wants to marry JH anymore. She practically called out DH for not trying to see JH and AJ's POV.

The SFL seems reasonable enough that she might actually help them from the sidelines as always.

It's possible the grandfather forced JH to take the blame. For whatever reason the grandfather was a t the hall and he practically yelled at DH for constantly trying to derail his life by exposing his secret.

The FL's reaction to the contract is honestly smart tbh. Yes the money is great, but money isn't everything. She has to sacrifice alot/ lie to her family. Also since it is with her best friend, she has to ensure the contract will not ruin their friendship. The contract also can have an impact on her future acting career

3 years is a long time and she's only human. So it's actually good that she hesitated before accepting the contract.

Exactly. I feel like everybody is too focussed on the whole "selfish" aspect without considering why they behave like that.😅😅😅

Or the fact that you can like the SML or the ML without hating the other 🤷‍♀️
