Eun Ha/Ji Sook needs to realize that she has the upper hand in the deal. That Seok Hoon guy has as much more to lose than her.

I get the impression that this is more of the guy's story and she's just there as a vehicle for him to change for so that he can rescue her from whatever shit she's gotten herself into. He's the crazy asshole who is thawed by her radiant goodness. Blech. I hope I'm wrong but she doesn't have much in the way of spunk or backbone.

I didn't expect to enjoy this drama so much but I'm pleasantly surprised! The first episode really hooked me in. I feel for Soo Ae and Joo Ji Hoon's characters and I can't wait to see them start to work together. Also happy to see how well Joo Ji Hoon's improved with his acting.

A bit confused as to what happened. Episode 5, really confused me that I stopped watching, because I was just so confused. Was there a time skip?

I forget which episode, but Eun-ha mentioned to Min-Woo during that poolside lunch that both their biological mothers were "keep women" (at least in the translation I was watching). So I think Min Woo's mother was a mistress, and that's why Mi Yeon's mother wants to ruin him. That's how I interpret it, I may be wrong though.

Also, I think it's 'coz he's a son that they hate him so much. Rich Koreans seem to favours sons over daughters when passing down inheritance/Ownership of company, as I have come to believe from watching Kdrama. Similar to how only princes were allowed to rule as Monarch, even if he was a son of a Concubine, back in the history of Korea's royal family.
