This was so bitter

This episode was very slow compared to the last ones we've got, probably because of the tension that was building between the main characters.

CJW went back to the dark side hoping he can destroy the VP by doing so. I am not sure if by working alone he is going to succeed, to be honest. He is like the VP's "right arm" man, but at the same time he isn't. The only weapon he has to threat the VP his the trust his family has in him. CJW came to his house showering the VP's wife and daughter with kind gifts. This is very common when someone visists the house of a superior, but it's evident he wanted to get the VP mad. This one doesn't trust CJW in my opinion. Even though he turned the way he was before Mo Ne appeared, he knows that he might be playing on both sides. It doesn't matter how MN treats JW or vice versa, he could still be thinking they agreed to do this.

Finally Mo Ne seems to have showed a little character regarding the business of her hotel. She should fight for her father's dream first and foremost. I loved how the heartbreak made the tough woman I'm sure she can be, come out. I do wonder if CJW's plan includes "training" MN with bitter reality to get reactions from her that are not the ones of an unexperienced person. Despite this, if she is really to become the real chairman, she has a long way to go. She still acts like a fragile child at times. She easily let what JW say hurt her feelings, while she should separate work from private life. The most professional woman or man is successfull because she/he doesn't let what it's not important for their job influence them. She should think more before she acts. For example, when she wanted to throw trash at the VP... that was too much. I also want to cover that man with trash, but I would control myself or I would be taken as a joke. MN doesn't get that is the main reason the VP can play with her anyway he wants. She lets personal feelings dictate her behaviour, which is not good. By doing this it's like she's already losing the game. You should always predict what your enemy will do, but act subtly (ie like GM or Manager Baek would do, but they're seasoned professionals. lol)

CJW and AMN's relationship hit rock bottom. He is avoiding her and treating her coldly on purpose, but his expressions when the VP isn't around betray him. When he saw MN getting egged, his façade faltered. He was reasoning if he should go save her or not. Somehow I'm glad he didn't. First because his plan would blow up. Second, because Mo Ne has to understand that as the chairwoman she is, she should work on herself to be strong enough to face things like this knowing that she took the blame for something she didn't do. You are strong even without CJW! This makes you look like a poor baby who needs babysitting, Mo Ne-yah. This doesn't make your position as a chairwoman look legit. So my advice is: now that JW isn't by her side, she should gather all of her strength and work hard to achieve something at least.

I do wonder where CJW's autodestructive plan will lead him. Is the VP going to prepare something to get rid of him? At the moment in his zombie state, he doesn't look too "useful" for the hotel, even if he is trying to take initiatives to oppose the chairwoman. He is not feeling anything because he is heartbroken too. Sigh. This whole revenge plot on his part looks like will head to a weird end. I don't think he is the VP's son either, and he should take a DNA test to prove it anyway. Maybe they didn't do it yet because there is a bigger secret coming up regarding CJW's parents. Uhm.

Last but not last: Roman/Loman Lee. H.o.t. I like this new addition. This guy looks smart and not one who likes to lose his time in projects he doesn't like. And he is Manager Baek's "son". He's trusted Chairman Ah's decisions and has over 20% of the shares. Wow, that's a lot. This means he can play a big part in this. The way he didn't want to go see the VP once he arrived make me think he is also testing CJW, who is playing his robotic part and showing RL the waste land where the infamous casino may be built. There must be a connection between this new guy and the chairman, perhaps. He might be his son, or just somebody related to him. But anyway someone who trusted him. When Mo Ne gets in the presentation room and gets thrown out, Roman Lee says they should stop there because that doesn't seem like a good day to continue with this. If he is someone that was affectionate to the late chairman, he must also want to help our chairwoman... right? He will indeed do what his mother will tell him, but I am not aware of which side Manager Baek is right now. Way to confuse us.
