Seeing as coming out as gay is an extremely sensitive topic, I don't think JH resents his brother for not telling him about it. But he did make it clear that he was tired of his brother stone walling him every time.

That's why everytime JH argues with him or shames him he makes it clear that it's not because he is gay. He may be hurt but he loves his brother enough to understand why he kept quiet.

As for the ex, his purpose is quite clear tbh. In the flashbacks, DH abandoned him when he was beaten up. The ex just wants DH to stop being a coward and accept himself wholely. To stop the acting.
He doesn't seem to be the actual stalker that's been harrasing DH but the way he taunts DH makes his character seem off.

There seems to be a high probability that the grandfather set it up to stop DH from coming out 5 years ago. There's this scene where the ex mentions mockingly that the idea of DH taking a step is him being a coward (sorry i can't remember what exactly he said) but it hints that the ex knew that DH was planning to come out at the time. So there's probably resentment there too since DH wasn't there for him when he needed his support.

Ikr? Where is the hate coming from?
They pretty much cleared and explained the main issues at hand in ep 10 in a logical way so why are they still attacking DH and JH?

Out of curiousity why do you find it so bad?
I dropped My Demon so the thought of watching it twice over WI sounds like torture to me
😅😅😅

The mother wasn't granted a divorce. I guess she really couldn't bare to stay at home any longer so she chose a life of obscurity.

Since the price of being a chaebol is you have no privacy, she probably had to hide her whole identity to protect her new family and old family (and also avoid getting dragged back to her old home)

Given how netizens and the press were reacting over AJ and JH, imagine how much more brutal they would have been to the mother who "abandoned her young children and family for a random man"? We don't know why the mother was so desperate (ngl the husband is a piece of work though so not surprised she left him) but bottom line is, she had no choice but to be secretive in order to taste freedom.

I feel like the grandfather may have hired the reporter to find his daughter but things went out of control. Considering how patient the reporter is, it's odd that he would have caused such a frantic car chase. The grandfather is protecting the driver for some reason so most likely the driver was the Son in Law?🤷‍♀️

That is a possibility. The grandfather can be extreme

Hopefully yes! Looks like ep 11 and 12 will be packed with revelations

That's what. And the grandfather is the only person who really has the resources enough to have spies in both Korea and the US.

Ahhh....that makes more sense. Doesn't the ex work close to Do Han's studio though? That was my understanding.

The "stalking" technically started after DH accused him of taking pictures and tampering with the electricity so my impression was that the Ex was purposely visiting him to taunt him. Since he wants DH to do the right thing.

Meddling out of spite. He even targetted JiHan since he knows that JH wouldn't hurt DH with the news unlike the reporter.

Yes, I don't think they will get back together again either. But they need to get closure. Their resentment is unhealthy at this point. DH keeps accusing the Ex based on logic when there's no real evidence and the ex's actions just make things worse.

It's good exposure too- while i've heard of her previous work, the first time I saw her was on Wedding impossible.

🙏

The step siblings hating DH and JH makes sense honestly. They were kids too when their mum "abandoned" them to start a new family. After no contact for around 10-11 years, they find out their mum died and the reason was because JiHan had told the reporter how to contact his mum.

It may seem irrational, but to them it makes sense.
The step brother isn't really evil since he's just greedy and scheming. In fact it kind of looks like he no longer really remembers why exactly he hates the brothers but hates them out of habit.

The sister - as she is the younger of the 2 i don't think the issue is her legitimacy. Since the grandfather has ultimate control and doesn't sugar coat things, i highly doubt he would have let her stay if she wasn't his granddaughter. She's just too calculating and dangerous to have control of the Group. You can't manage a huge group like LJ by only focussing on your interest.

About JH refusing to marry CEO Yoo- by this point he has already given up on the company which is why he was able to refuse without worrying about the consequences (he let go of his hopes for the company the moment he gave his blessing to DH and AJ. Finding out that DH was gay, cemented it). AJ was the main reason to refuse but even if AJ wasn't in the picture, control over the company was no longer a priority.


Additionally, initially when Yoo confessed to JH, she didn't mention about the negotiation she had with the grandfather about their marriage. Since JH was trying to forget about AJ at the time, he honestly said that he doesn't have feelings for her but he also was willing to try to "work" it out. He was actually blindsided by the impending marriage proposal.

💯 agreed with you

His character development starts from the end of ep 10 on wards. The pity party is over and now DH is finally going to be brave and stand up for himself and protect JH and AJ.

It's not his fault that the grandfather (and JH) hyjacked his press conference.🙊

I hope so too...instead of being forced, I hope that JH made the suggestion in the first place. But it's odd that the grandfather was in the right hall - waiting for Do Han to show up.

Tell me about it. The grandfather's thought process makes no sense at all.

Competency wise - JH is the most suitable

Lack of Scandals wise- until ep 9, JH was again the strongest bet since now we know that the grandfather knew about DH's secret all along.

Connections wise - JH has the strongest connection with CEO Yoo's company

Reputation wise- within the company, JH is well known as a hard working employee

So why is the grandfather hanging on to DH so desperately?
It's almost as if the grandfather is in this delusional state where he believes that he can get rid of the "Gay problem" by making DH work for corporate and marry anybody as long as she's female🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Also I'm almost certain it was the grandfather who beat up the ex in the flashback. No wonder the ex is so disgusted by everything🙊🙊🙊

The grandfather already pretty much lost any sentiment he has for JH after JH refused to denie his feelings for AJ and lie to the press.

For whatever reason the grandfather is hell bent on making Do Han specifically the heir. JH is nothing more than a pawn he can sacrifice at this point to ensure that DH's name isn't dragged because of the scandal (plus the grandfather needs to stop DH from coming out)

The grandfather is calculating and shrewd so hurting JH's feelings is not going to be a priority at the moment in the grandfather's POV.

Exactly! You can't really expect him to be a complete saint after the way he was treated all his life.

Hell in a way he is far more kinder than he should be rly - he endures everything without complaining. From the abuse from his step family, the fact thathis Grandfather treats him like he is invisible, to giving up even the hope of running the company himself (considering he is the most qualified too), originally letting go of AJ, and enduring DH's constant silence.

And he is so alone compared to the others- outside work and his family, he doesn't even seem to have any other friends (there is ceo yoo but until recently he couldn't truly be himself since he needed to be on her goodside for the sake of his plan).

It's really complicated because eventhough JH knows that DH is gay, as far as he knows, the wedding is real and his brother is taking advantage of "innocent" AJ. From AJ's side, at worst she will be only breaking her contract with Do Han, but at the same time she knows that JH believes that the marriage is real.

So objectively speaking they are not cheating but because JH is unaware of the contract, at least in his POV it is cheating. That's part of the reason he was so hurt after finding out the truth.
