i thought Ji Woon would be faster on the up-take. the sec i saw his "office" being ransacked, i knew his father was involved. the torture of the brother & sister (that work for him) was overkill IMO. but i guess Seok Jo needed to drive the point, that Ji Woon had no other go, but to agree & do as he was told. even though i totally don't trust his father & am worried, that by the time Ji Woon fulfills his assignment, both siblings will be dead. *****************************************************************************************************************************************also until the outing at the end was about to say that i guess i got i wrong (about Hyun's reaction/feelings towards Lee Hwi). but the way he looks at him/her regardless of their familial bonds & similar gender that aint platonic. i for sure haven't looks at an of my cousins (regardless of their gender) the way he looks at Lee Hwi. ********************************************************************************************************************************************& i was sure the assassin was sent by the new Queen (Lee Hwi's stepmother) & her clan. but the Grand Queen Dowager (who seemed to be rooting for Lee Hwi) appointing the guy that was the assassin, is making me wonder if i read her wrong. or was she duped.

find it ironic that Dam Yi saves Ji Woon again from drowning. the dude in water sinks like a stone. one would think after what almost happened to him as a kid, he would learn how to swim ＼（〇_ｏ）／(ノω<。)ノ *****************************************this ep on a whole was very light & fun. liked the new addition of adult Hyun. even though the way he looks when thinking of Lee Hwi, or acts around him it seems like he is infatuated with his younger cousin. has he figured out that Lee Hwi is a girl? (not that i have a problem with BL) just when he was looking at the "pen" he brought for Lee Hwi & that other dude made fun insinuating it was for a female, Hyun didn't look offended. which he should've been, as too him Lee Hwi is male (a male of small stature, but a male all the same). maybe i am over thinking - time will tell.****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i feel sad for Prince Jehyeon, as it seems like he genuinely likes his older step-brother. so seeing him trying & getting the cold shoulder is sad. not that i am faulting Dam Yi, even without the jealousy part of seeing her father being open & loving towards the new son, she has to be doubly guarded as the new Queen is openly hostile.

2nd ep & i am bloody crying - that scene where the mother tells her daughter to eat, broke my heart. & if that wasn't enough poor I Wol (she wasn't even a witness per-say. just worried about her friend & asked the inspector - the last guy asking after her, if he found Dam Yi. only to get "taken out"). but the bit that i was thankful for - was that Ji Woon saw his fathers true colors. *********************************************************************************************************************************given everything that was going on, was worried how Lee Hwi / Dam Yi would react when she found out that Ji Woon was Jung Ji Woon son. the man that killed her identical twin by mistaking him for her.****************************************************************************************************************************************also wasn't expecting to lose the Crown Princesses so soon. was worried who could help Dam Yi reach adulthood. cause as much as Court Lady Sang Gung & Eunuch Hong Bok Dong could help, they didn't have the power to get in between anyone as powerful as either grandfather, the Emperor or that despicable Han Ki Jae. but that whole part was skipped over lol so never mind.

the scenes with the budding romance between Dam Yi & Jung Ji Woon were the bright spot in this ep. the rest was pretty depressing & not only talking about young Lee Hwi's end. but the massacres at the start, just to cover up the existent of Dam Yi being a (god forbid) female twin to the new born prince. i guess when a woman has no worth, it's logical that sharing the same womb will be looked down upon. sad reality (the inferiority of females) world around at that point in time, i think -*****************************************************************************************************************************************the abusive patriarchs in this - whether it be the Queen's father, the Crown Prince's father or even Ji Woon's father, that cause of the edict from the Emperor (or personal ambition) is ready to kill anyone getting in his way. just shows how they abused the power they had. scary world/time to live in regardless of ur statues or gender.************************************************************************************************************************************************************so how ironic they all cause the death of the one they want/the one of worth, while that poor child ends up paying for the greed of so many.

this has been hyped so much - the praise is endless. people saying how they were hooked from the word go - but am left bored, watching this ep (hope it gets better)... also don't get how one can subconsciously train u - but guess i will see as this progresses.******************************************************************************************************************************************Lee Dong Wook as per usual it total eye candy & his acting is grade A. so at least got that to look forward too.

after everything Ahn Ji Yong has done to Yeo Wool, let alone everything she has found out about him, her still wondering how he could do this to his son is beyond hilarious, as funny as her wanting to talk to her son. she forget he's mute (cause of the trauma cause by the same "loving" father)?!? there r spark where u think ok now we will see Yeo Wool be the smart FL that she is being hyped up to be, but nope ＼（〇_ｏ）／*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: if i was Na Yoon, would be glued to my daughter after everything that has happened, let alone finding out her "hubby" kidnapped his own son. but nah (ノω<。)ノ another genius （*゜ー゜*）*****************************************************************************************************************************************oh well, this was a fine ending. i don't think it was "flat" yes this whole drama was a crazy roller costar ride. so it somehow was fitting that we got to see most of the main players get their fitting ends, & it ended with almost all of them in a happy place. even though i have been face-palming myself at the lead character's actions from start to finish, but there has been a very realistically, humane (klutzy) side to this whole drama, so like in life the summation wasn't a big bang, but it fizzed out into nothing... like i said, fitting end.*****************************************************************************************************************************************just glad the kids will not lose contact - cause they family & have already been through enough cause of their parents stupidity/greed. & was also very happy Do Young showed a lot of growth in declining the Chef's offer. yeah he not a bad guy & maybe this time it would be a better relationship, but she needed to stand on her own two feet for her son, not just herself. so all in all even though there were times i was beyond frustrated by the women in this, but at this point i don't feel like i wasted time watching this - it was fun for a one off ㄟ(≧◇≦)ㄏ

Yeo Wool the moron agrees to do her husbands bidding without demanding to be on solid ground (land) first¯\(°_o)/¯ then she just sits passively, waiting for what? a self-serving narcissist to keep his word? not take advantage of the situation & get rid of her?＼（〇_ｏ）／ but all he does is push her overboard & that enough to knock her out? really? ok.... ****************************idk where Na Yoon's mother came from, but she better then the cops & Danny combined - ************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i really wish the adults here stop talking over the kids heads. as if they dim-witted & not capable of understanding what is being said. it's really annoying to watch this level of disregard, cause the children understand but can't do anything & r left scared & worried without been given any tools to deal with everything going on around them.************************************************************************************************************************************************btw i don't get Yeo Wool now acting contrite cause she was ignorant about what her husband was up to. hasn't she (& her son) paid enough? i get this a very Korean POV where if a family member commits a crime, the whole family is guilt & sufferers from the wrath of the public. but this a moronic POV to hold in any society IMHO. if Yeo Wool knew & turned a blind eye i get it, they for sure didn't help Ahn Ji Yong dupe his victims into investing with him. if anything they as much victims of his, then the rest. but cause they family their pain & suffering doesn't count?!? plz... so get returning the money, but anything more is just plain B.S.(* ￣︿￣)************************************************************************************************************************************************the plus point in this whole ep was Nam Ji Sun's downfall (karma came a calling & i loved every moment). think for me she the ultimate "bad-guy" that i needed to see destroyed & finally her day came. ironic that at last her son not only ratted her out, but gaslit her into taking all the blame. that's what u get, when u never teach ur kids that there r consequence's for their actions. ************************************************************************************************************************************************Ahn Ji Yong got super powers or what? he disappears injured from a boat in the middle of the ocean. somehow pops up in the Philippines & continues to Hong Kong. that not enough, with interlope after his ass he back in Korea & Jeju island in the blink of an eye, all this with no money or connections ヾ(≧▽≦*)o ridiculous

so leaving the whole sad childhood & accidently killing her father situation (where no matter how she paid as a kid, her mother who was also a victim, paid doubly). when Na Yoon choose to take Ji Yong back (06:57) putting her hand in his, he was already married, a fact she just ignored(?) & yet she so desperate for love she overlooked the ring on his finger(?) & the fact he got a wife somewhere?!? sorry, but if she's alive or not i don't get Yeo Wool rushing to forgive her. **************************************ok, don't hold a grudge (for Jae In's sake) but i wouldn't be this forgiving towards a conscienceless, moron like Na Yoon. who when push came to shove, didn't even stop to think of putting her daughters well being before her "love". so sorry, but she not worthy of a 2nd chance IMHO¯\(°_o)/¯ for sure don't feel sad/bad for her.************************************************************************************************************************************************also don't get why Yeo Wool would turn to detective Gu for help, after the way he keeps treating her. there no other cops on that Island?!? he isn't just helping her (if he stops being an ass long enough to help(* ￣︿￣)) he's helping himself(!). cause if he solves the Ahn Ji Yong case, he wont just be back on the main land, he will probably get a promotion. & he Not deserving in the least, cause he a bad cop in every aspect of the word!************************************************************************************************************************************************Yeo Wool is a moron, but what's new (same as the whack writing) that car wasn't even blocking the road, there No smoke, blood or Any indication that it was in distress. there was No need for anyone to stop! the moron could drive by slowly enough to not scratch either car & check out the situation as she proceeded - but noooo ＼(((￣(￣(￣▽￣)￣)￣)))／ & then when she wakes-up bound she rather be disagreeable, then use her smarts (what smarts(ノω<。)ノ) to sweet talk him. be agreeable enough to get free & dupe him into thinking she is stupid enough to buy his lies & will help him. but once she is free (literally & figuratively) & back of solid ground, she can drop the act - but why use the brains (she has yet to use until now?)... ＼（〇_ｏ）／also the knife was redundant - the moron (another one) got his wife bound surrounded by water, even if she can swim, how long would she last when her hands & feet were bound?!? （*゜ー゜*） no common sense needed when writing this plot, just a sh*t ton of drugs ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

this plot is giving me whiplash, it's a chaotic mess; who is loyal to whom, who is backstabbing whom, what's each character's agenda - the twists & turns r just crazy, fitting for the personality of these character's. it aint boring that's for sure, but sadly most of the character's r stupid or they r written that way - which also makes this Very frustrating. *******************************what i know, Ji Yong's a master manipulator, like some evil genius, he planned this grand plan, toying with so many women & he more or less succeeded... & he didn't leave the country, didn't alter his appearance, but no one has found him ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ*****************************************************************************************************************************************even though it looks like Danny's backstabbing Yeo Wool, feel like he will do a 180 & will flip on the cop. but who knows with the writer here. as is Danny could've said ok & the sec he got free, contact Yeo Wool & inform her about how the cop was blackmailing him. as the cop had nothing new to hold him on, & Yeo Wool had already got him free once, why this time go along & help the cop (⊙_⊙)？*****************************************************************************************************************************************Do Young is another one i feel really bad for (maybe cause she's my favorite) she is all alone & she should've gone to Yeo Wool (who is her lawyer) instead of confronting that douche of a husband. but it is what it is. at least she knows Ji Sun's not a friend.*****************************************************************************************************************************************Ji Sun on the other hand is plain annoying, she keeps (literally) burying bodies for her family & i can't wait for it to come back & bite her... just feel bad for Seung Jo (her assistant) she treats him like a slave most of the time & cause of her, he gonna be thrown in jail for good - sad! *****************************************************************************************************************************************the only reason i felt bad for Na Yoon's end is cause of her mother & daughter, for the character itself i have no pity. what i don't get Ji Yong was supposed to be getting it on with Maggie Chen in a hotel room, how he suddenly appear in Na Yoon's hospital room??? ＼（〇_ｏ）／

for a smart woman Yeo Wool just runs off at the mouth, she doesn't think, plan, strategize... she hears something & like a headless chicken, she runs around accusing people without any evidence, that they knew or were involved... so seeing scenes where her ex-lawyer-comrades r parsing how smart & hard working she is, is beyond absurd - it's bleedin unbelievable. & talking about smart, street smart in this case - it's obvious Danny took the pill bottle from Yeo Wool's house (when she told him to get her dead-husbands phone, ironically cause she wanted her hubby's side family to remain a secret). why he keep it at his place? that not just evidence, that incriminating evidence. a stupid move, even if he never fathomed that the cops would have a reason to search his place. given his shady life, he should've been vigilant, just in case - no logic (ノω<。)ノ*****************************************************************************************************************************************Do Young's husband did her dirty, even if he had enough of her - she still the mother of his son & his son is living with her. so him not paying the loan on the restaurant is one thing, but selling the house they living in from under her, without giving her a heads-up is just plain evil. where his son gonna live? plus he not answering her calls. hope she has a way to finance herself, otherwise she in the dumps & so don't envy her. guess she can turn to Ji Sun. still not a forever solution（*゜ー゜*） speaking of Ji Sun - what a mess. this whole drama filled with such chaotic personal lives. don't envy even one of them... *****************************************************************************************************************************************Na Yoon another stupid woman, the sec she blindly signed the Endowment agreement she basically signed her death warrant. was wondering why Ji Yong made her chairman - it's cause she's a useful idiot, that will blindly do his bidding. & the dude never loved anyone, if he did he wouldn't have the same things bought in duplicates to give each woman - that was all too planed out. now left to see what he planning for Yeo Wool `(*>﹏<*)′ ***************************************************************************************************all that's left to say i feel really really sad & bad for the children, they deserve better

so she had to wake her kid, to pack? like r u serious - doesn't anyone on this set have kids? would u do that to a child that is already traumatized?!? the mothers in this drama, seriously shouldn't have had kids(!). & No i don't have kids, but when we went on vacations & had to wake-up early, my parents got organized & then woke us up. if it was an urgent matter , they for sure didn't wake us up & make us watch, as they got their sh*t together. they woke us up & we were out of the house, the sec WE (= the kids) were ready. isn't this normally how it goes? my mother an anomaly??? ＼（〇_ｏ）／(ノω<。)ノ ****************adding insult to injury, that scene where she is pressuring a distressed Yi Chan into telling her who he had drawn - like how obtuse can she be?!? he not traumatized enough, she want him to go into a catatonic state? i will repeat, the women in this drama shouldn't have had kids! (╬▔皿▔)╯*****************************************************************************************************************************************sorry, but u gonna tell me the deceased chairman with the weak heart could not only knock out a able-bodied, young man like Danny, but then could bind him & drag his unconscious body up the flight of stairs, to the roof - really? ヾ(≧▽≦*) OK******************************************************************************************************************************************idk what Ji Yong's end game is, or why he made Na Yoon the chairman. but i find that plot twist weird & stupid. can any tom, dick & harry off the street become a chairperson of a prestigious institution? leave education, what about social statues? background? connections? money? *********************************************************************************************************i guess u can say Na Yoon got the money & connections via (conman) Ji Yong. but all the parents just fall in line & agree with her appointment, why? considering how condescending & pompous they r, wouldn't/shouldn't they rebel & want to remove their kids from such an institution? that would be logic in my eyes - from what i have seen, Na Yoon has No qualifications to run that place. but the writer of this drama is going wild with the plot, logic be damned ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ

Do Young is such a clown ㄟ(≧◇≦)ㄏ i can't with her. thank god there some fun character's here. also her sons casting is A-one. they might as well be related in real life, they both 'mean girls' but also loveable & fun to watch, really great character's.*****************************************************************************************************************************************also the only guys i find attractive r side character's; 1st the Chef & now the cop questioning the cleaning lady. really good looking - wish they had more screen time(❁´◡`❁)*****************************************************************************************************************************************also just me - a yr after her husbands "passing" the debt, her kid getting bullied etc...

everyone mad at the cop & i would be too, but he the typical cop that's got a suspect in mind & he could care less for the truth. he just wants to make the evidence fit the one he thinks is guilt & to hell with how he achieves that. the one at fault -> Yeo Wool (even if u aint a lawyer), would u be this helpful with someone who is blatantly hostile towards u? would u keep quite & try helping people that r hostile towards u?!? the only smart thing she has done (to date), was contact teacher/detective Danny. she for sure can't seem to help herself & keeps finding ways to shoot herself in the foot at every turn (ノω<。)ノalso tired of seeing her gazing into the distance, that is the only thing she good at - that & telling everyone she super busy, yeah busy gazing into the distance - bleedin moron ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ*****************************************************************************************************************************************btw delusional Na Yoon keeps saying "my husband" & that cop has yet to wonder who her husband is, or how he is connected? cause her being connected to the "late" Ji Yong, makes her a more likely suspect then Yeo Wool, no?!? but a good cop would cover all bases, he not a good cop. little wonder he got demoted （*゜ー゜*）*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: had a feeling Jae In broke her own violin. like i said that stupid, crazy mother of hers keeps putting too much pressure on that child, little wonder she broke ＼（〇_ｏ）／ but finding out this fact, not gonna stop Na Yoon from continuing (¬_¬ ) to make a mess of her own life let alone that poor childs. *********************************************************************additional side note: i think there's supposed to be this tension indicating "something" between Danny & Yeo Wool. but not only do i not see it. i think he has more chemistry with Rachel Cho the other teacher that keeps asking him out. they funny & sweet together IMHO. sp rolled my eyes when we saw that such has something going with Jeong Woo (Ji Sun's husband) talk cliché...

needed to take a break from this, cause Yeo Wool i giving me a headache - found it hilarious her telling Na Yoon "don't make a fuss..." really? like she did?!! when there was No call for it. have written this in the previous ep; IF u walk into a dark room where u find a woman's body with no obvious wounds, u will panic ??? (it's besides the point, to point out that i Wouldn't be walking around in the dark & would go back to my child, who's already traumatized, day 1 in that school(⊙_⊙;)) ... aish how Yeo Wool passed the bar, let alone had a successful career as a lawyer, making her partner is beyond me (ノω<。)ノ*****************just can't with her keeping mute when she needs to talk, but on the other hand when she speaks, she's putting her foot in it more times then not. creating more problems then necessary. anything she gets is a direct consequence of her (moronic) action IMHO & the only one i feel bad for, is her poor child. Yi Chan deserves better parents, dude will be broken by the time he reaches adulthood `(*>﹏<*)′*****************************************************************************************************************************************sorry, but the writing is just bad in this ep - the artistic license taken by the writer is beyond ridiculous. the viewers not this stupid, we will eat this up without saying 'why' at almost every twist & turn this plot has taken ＼（〇_ｏ）／ pointing out each & every pothole, will be basically mentioning almost every other scene in this ep (╬▔皿▔)╯ like WTFseriously feel like dropping this but have dropped so many so will push through ＼(((￣(￣(￣▽￣)￣)￣)))／

feel bad for the kids - the parents r the ones at fault & the ones paying r the children(°ロ°) poor Yi Chan for his messed up father & incompetent mother (know Yeo Wool is innocent on a whole, but how blind can one be?!? living with someone for over a decade, not wondering or suspecting even once. even after everything blew-up in her face, to continue living obliviously. sorry but she's incompetent, especially as a lawyer - u bleedin need to be smart to be successful & win court cases. she was a partner in her old law firm - that is earned by winning cases or having tons of money, she doesn't come from money or a legacy inheritance, so stand by my conclusions（*゜ー゜*）). ******************************************************************************Jae In is also suffering cause of her parents, Na Yoon might act tough but she knows she doesn't have a leg to stand on. she Not the official wife. so her acting tough is weird IMHO. also really hate how she's putting so much unnecessary pressure on her child. Jae In gonna suffer a mental break, from seeing her mother cracking & crying all the time, as a child she doesn't have the tools to deal with her mothers craziness. ************************************************************************************************************************************************plus the kids not stupid, they notice the tension between the mothers. they so don't deserves to be dragged into this mess - i fault both mothers for not thinking about their children. putting them in these situations, that even adults would crack under the pressure of. just wish the adult would fight among themselves & solve this, without dragging the kids into it (ノω<。)ノ*****************************************************************************************************************************************************the end was whack - Yeo Wool has seen the chairwoman taking medication on more then one occasion. her automatically assuming it was murder or reacting like she walked into a massacre is beyond absurd (talk over acting). also as a mother once the lights went off, shouldn't she have rushed back to her son? this as is so complex u don't know what's what & who is against whom, let alone why. now it's getting more complicated & i feel like it's over kill. i aint intrigued , just want to start getting answers to all the queries we have been given until now - instead of more questions being added to the ever lengthening list ¬_¬ )
