Love the scene between Eunchong and Seyeong. Eunchong displayed such despise for Seyeong's lies and hypocrisy.

Where did Eunchong disappear to? In the preview, Hana was looking for him.
Have they taken him away so Hana can't leave with him?!
Next episode is a must-watch.

Kim Geon U (Eunchong) has such great acting talent. I cried too.

Eunchong will certainly be more devastated if he were forcibly separated from Hana. She has been caring for him since his mum died when he was about one year old. She was like a mum to him.
It will be heartbreaking to see him wail but legally Hana has to give him up to his biological grandmother.

You see, a MDL commenter recommended this drama.  By the time I began watching it, about 18-20 episodes have already aired.  Maybe MDL changed the synopsis?  But Wikipedia mentioned revenge which made my jaw dropped. 
Episode 61 is a must-watch! 
I'm dying to see if she is able to leave with Eunchong or not.

I've just checked MDL synopsis - no mention of revenge.  Now I know MDL synopsis is unreliable. 
In any case, I am loving this revenge kdrama very very much although the Writer was very bad to test our patience until some have dropped this drama.

Just watched the raw episode.  Did not expect Hana to smash the family portrait.  That was a swift initial change of character. 

The plot thickens and the pace quickens from now onwards.
Yes!✊️

BTW, you mentioned that in revenge dramas, the "villains get what they deserve".  That was so good to hear!
Myeongji...😡

You will laugh at me that I am also naive like Hana and believe MDL's synopsis which did not mention revenge. Actually I dislike revenge dramas because it will be full of angst and headaches. But 😆😆😆, I find CG very intriguing and addictive!
It is around episode 30 that I googled Wikipedia to check out Seoul's ratings and read the synopsis. My jaw dropped... but I am already 'sucked' into the drama story and cannot pull myself out.
😂😂😂
I am sure the Writer is just giving us a kind, naive Hana for now. But she will change....I mean she has better change otherwise no one will continue to watch this drama .... except me. 😅🤣😂

42 episodes left of 30 minutes each episode. 😑
By Friday, Hana must know she is the fake daughter.

I agree with you that Jiseok wanted her to adopt Eunchong quickly and go after Yeojin.
But Myeongji has been blocking her adoption twice. Sungho gave Jiseok the heads-up that Myeongji must be behind all this problems. Then knowing how naive Hana is, Jiseok must tell her the truth now so that Hana is more guarded against Myeongji. Right now, Yeojin only revealed to Jingoo that she plans to adopt Eunchong. Jingoo is unable to override Yeojin's decisions.
What is really bad is Jiseok and Sungho are in the dark about Yeojin's plans.

Her gut feeling tells her something, or should I say, many things are not right. But she did not know how to go about looking for the truth, so she did ask or tell ... Jiseok or Jingoo.

But everyone including Jiseok and Jingoo were not telling her the most important TRUTH that she has been scammed by Yeojin.
Jingoo was bound to secrecy to Yeojin but, Jiseok should be giving her the truth NOW or it will be too late.

Hana may lose guardianship of Eunchong at this rate and kicked out of the house.

But Hana will eventually know that Jiseok is in the know all this while. I don't want to imagine what Hana will be like when she discovers everything. 😖
She may cut off ties with all three step siblings.

At this critical point, WHY is Jiseok still not disclosing to Hana that Yeojin scammed her as the biological daughter?
He knows that once Myeongji succeeded in revealing to Hana or, worse, to everyone that she is just a fake daughter, then it is Game Over and Hana will have to leave Eunchong and leave Yeojin's house. He needs to advise her what to do next.

Yes, Hana is also incredibly dense and naive. However, Hana believes Jiseok is on her side and will tell her everything that she needs to know.
Hana is actually to be pitied because everyone including Jiseok fails to tell her the truth. I don't blame her when she breaks down and her character becomes vindictive and callous. 🫣

Myeongji wants Hana to know she is fake and then somehow persuade Yeojin to kick her out because by then, everything will be revealed so Yeojin does not need her. Yeojin is already scheming to adopt Eunchong without Hana's permission because Hana has NO custody rights but only guardian rights. As the biological mother of Yujin, Yeojin has custody and parental right to Eunchong.

😄😄😄 But our FL has never ever thought of doing so. I mean although she has less time to do background checks and such, she can ask Jiseok for help, right?

Right! Just when I l thought Hana GOT IT, Seyoung pulled wool over her eyes.
By Friday, Hana must discover she had been scammed and leave with Eunchong!
Having said that, leaving with Eunchong may be impossible. 😟😣

Even that Seok Ki's disgusting mum found it weird for Yeojin to keep Hana's identity under wraps and even PAID her to keep it quiet.
Whoa! This Writer has been testing our patience for 2-3 weeks now regarding Hana's fake identity. 😤

Sadly, Jingoo is unable to convince Yeojin not to adopt Eunchong. I am not taking sides but if I found out that Hana was trying to adopt Eunchong behind my back instead of discussing it with me privately, I would take defensive measures too.

I am dying to see how Myeongji will spoil the party to announce Hana as Yeojin's daughter....fake daughter.

I used to know of a drama commenter (not MDL) who has a great sense of humour just like you.
She is also American. Your funny writing style is very similar to hers.
☺️

🤣🤣🤣

MJN! 😄😄😄
I thought you have a good answer for me.
I've watched the raw episode 59 but could do only understand about 40-50% of the Korean dialogue.
Aren't you the one who is taking Korean classes? If only you could translate for me....😉

Right! 👍
Not sure if you've read my earlier comment critisizing Hana's hairstylist.
She did let down her shiny hair many episodes ago and she looked prettier and younger.
This hairbun is too casual to wear to the office. Can only wear it at home or to the nearby supermarket or to exercise.

😉
