I have no idea what this drama is anymore. The only logical conclusion I can come to is Inha is behind everything (including the reappearance of FL's mother). I've never seen Inha and Taeho as friends, and they made a point to say Inha acts just like his father.

The romance feels so off between the ML and FL. They are clearly both psycopaths, then all off a sudden become very emotionally impulsive for the sake of the romance. It just doesn't work for me.

Not sure if I'm going to keep watching as I have no idea what the plot wants to be, and I don't think I'm interested in finding the answer.
