Deal with the devil

The strategic planning team seemed like the company joke at the beginning of episode. But once it was found out who had lithium rights in Yulivia, they became the company savior. Eldest sis finally found out she did not have the expected backing and very reluctantly spent 4 billion for the lithium plus the stocks promised. First part of episode was lighthearted with the three plus current interim chairman rejoicing at beating the twins. Gma finally acted like a gma and the families could eat what was offered or leave.👏🏻 The slap the eldest daughter had coming since a bratty teen was satisfying to see.👏🏻 she knows without help she can’t be chairman and Hwang said clearly he wouldn’t because of his leg. He is going to back youngest daughter to the end. His gma disappeared from the facility and ended up at Hwang’s place. She had him a huge meal repaired and cried for him that he could no longer play soccer. She reminded him that he had a duty to Hwang that he’d been ignoring. Eldest girl has lost her mind. She is bargaining with sis in law’s dad to get chairman. His daughter gets to be president of trading instead of her brother. She bargains for him to get rid of both siblings and her dad. Her brother hears in adjacent room, but sis already had plans to set him up. She records him yelling at her and pretends he kidnapped her. She reveals his slush funds and she acts like she is a fearful victim. She absolutely has no shame. Stepmom knows they messed up indulging them when young and can save the grandkids but the twins….the son has a chance at redemption but the daughter is heinous. The daughter in law is a calmer version of eldest but she is as ruthless. When he called out to his son and his son apologized. He knew he was talking to dad. Hwang collapses shortly after because chairman is waking up. They had a flashback of Casy in the states missing home. Dad and his guard handled the bullies.😂🤣 This proves there was a soft side to the chairman. I hope they have a legal team to help out the son. He’s messed up but it was because he refused to see what his dad had always said about his bride choice. He is greedy, self indulgent and lazy but he’s still redeemable. It is going to be a whole new world when Hwang wakes up in an old body…or they switch souls back however this plays out when both conscious. This show has gone dark with company tier climbing. It’s still an interesting watch.

Who’s Top Dog Now?

Episode 2 built on the strong start from the premiere while giving us a better understanding of why Na Hwa Jin is so passionate about protecting both teachers and students.The central conflict focused on students fighting and taking beatings just to gain recognition from the so-called “top dog.” What made it satisfying was watching that same person completely crumble when confronted by Na Hwa Jin. All that reputation and power suddenly meant very little.My favourite scene was easily the car ride with the two troublemakers. Watching them realise they weren’t in control of the situation anymore was both hilarious and incredibly satisfying. The biggest revelation of the episode was learning that the teacher who was stabbed two years ago is actually Na Hwa Jin’s wife. It adds a lot more weight to his actions and helps explain why he refuses to stand by when teachers or students are being failed by the system.The drama continues to balance serious themes with moments of humour surprisingly well. It still gives me strong Taxi Driver vibes, with people abusing their power eventually being forced to face the consequences.Favourite Character: Na Hwa JinFavourite Scene: The brake-failure car rideCurrent Verdict: Another strong episode. The emotional stakes are growing, and I’m even more invested in Na Hwa Jin’s story.
