Earlier, you wrote a comment that Baekho's doings are out of character and it is obviously a "plot-delaying tactic" which I agreed with.

Yup! Photos of Seorin in the media when she attended functions - good thinking.

But Gysgt, I can't help complaining about the stupid characters.
😄🤭

Your idea of Baekho sitting at Junho's office is a good one.

Me too! I have a bad feeling Seorin might end up dead in Hwayoung's hands.
That would be very tragic and unnecessary....

Yes! I forgot about countless journalists murdered in their jobs.

rio, in some countries, lawyers were murdered because of their investigative work, right?

Baekho was initially sharp-minded and quick-witted.  But his recent moves were mind-boggling. 

Confronting Hwayoung to insist on meeting Seorin?
He could have loitered at Dream Hotel lobby and waited for Seorin to show up.  He is very free anyway. 😄

Now Hwayoung knows Baekho's intentions.  She has two targets namely Jangmi and Baekho. 🫣

How could Baekho be dense as to confront Hwayoung and insist on meeting Seorin? He could have loitered at Dream lobby and wait for Seorin to appear.

Hwayoung is the rich and powerful who will crush to death anyone who is in her way. Baekho is well-aware that Bokgil died under suspicious circumstances. Then he should be very cautious but he achieved nothing except provoke her to kill Jangmi (actually Seorin) lying comatose in a general ward bed which is easily accessible to most people.

Kanghyeok is incredibly stupid to get the thug, Scarface, who did all the dirty work for Hwayoung, to meet him in Dream Hotel.
What a plot hole....

"She IS reacted to the grandfather."

You mean Jangmi is related to the grandfather?

Of course, I know that but  Jangmi does not know, at this point, that she actually related to ChairmanMa.  Even Seorin does not know. 

"jangmi has to realize that the chairman is also her grandfather [even take a DNA test ]"
This was what @joetoca wrote in his comment.

What I meant was, Jangmi does not know she is the biological granddaughter of Chairman Ma.
Now if Jangmi told grandfather,  Chairman Ma, that she is not Hwayoung's biological daughter, then grandfather might do a DNA test between Jangmi and himself. 
Jangmi will be worried she is not Chairman's biological granddaughter and will be told to leave the family.  But she has to stay in order to get evidence of Hwayoung's murder of Bokgil.

Jeanne, do feel free to reply to me. 😁

I've been so patient as I waited quietly. 😄

Yup! If there was scandal or drink-driving accident, that actor will be banned quietly from acting, for a few years.

My only grouse is Junho has so little screentime. Even Nambong Scum has more screentime.

"the leads can talk straight to the viewers ....."

Ah! Talking to the viewers - very interesting point!

Yes, joetoca!
But I've wondered if the pace slowed down from time to time, to give the cast a breather. It must be very tiring to act in a 120-episode drama.

And Ham Eun Jung daily long drama Queen's House has ended only a few months before she plunged into First Man. Wonder Woman Ham Eun Jung!

Honestly, I have preferred characters of First Man which the majority of commenters dislike. 😄🤭

I feel so sorry for Jangmi and Junho.  I did write a comment explaining why Jangmi is not as quick-witted and sharp-minded as Seorin.

I have felt a lot of pity for young Junho as Nambong described to Hwayoung that, at the orphanage, Junho was standing in a corner of the playground by himself while the other children were playing happily.  And then his adoptive parents returned him to the orphanage when they knew he had leukemia.
That's me... ☺️

As @Gysgt said earlier, it is "out of Baekho's character".  It is a "plot-delaying tactic".
I agree with @Gysgt because if Baekho can solve the mysteries now, then the storyline cannot be stretched to 120 episodes. 
We can expect loopholes here and there. 😁

Yes! Damn long indeed! 😆
Kdrama dreams are always shorter.
The pace is slowing down now but it will pick up again.

So it is Jangmi's imagination! 
What is the point of showing viewers Jangmi's imagination when we are well-aware of what happened to Sukhee and Bokgil?

I think the next few episodes will be repetitious with Jangmi pulling tricks on Hwayoung. 

Taesook and Taepyeong are not suspicious to find Hwayoung in the bedroom of Sukhee and Jangmi again.  They are amazing people!

Baekho and Taepyeong did visit the hospital to ascertain if there was another accident victim but the records were changed to private status by Chairman Ma.

Then he went to the nearby cafe where Jangmi was waiting for Seorin. The cafe staff did mention two persons but nothing more.

Hence, he is denied of important information and has nothing to proceed with more investigations.

If Jangmi took a DNA test to show Hwayoung and herself are not related, and then show it to her grandfather, grandfather would do the DNA test again, at another lab, to ensure it is accurate. 
Remember he did do a DNA test when Hwayoung brought baby Seorin to him 30 years ago.  But Chairman Ma is a wily fox, I'm sure he will do the DNA test again

The risk is that if the DNA test proved that Jangmi is NOT related to grandfather, she will be asked to leave.  At this juncture, Jangmi is clueless of the identity of her biological father.  So she is unlikely to choose this route-it is too risky.

I know Jangmi will make mistakes.  Because it was to be only a one-day swap, Seorin thought there is no need to give Jangmi too much information about the Ma family.

Jangmi has already made 2 mistakes in episode 52 :
1.  She showed compassion to the housekeeper after she was slapped by Hwayoung.  We were shown in earlier episodes how Seorin was rude and made things difficult for her.  Housekeeper stared at Jangmi in confusion.

2.  Despite being a spoilt brat, Seorin has never made her grandfather angry with Hwayoung.  Sanwol noticed the change in her behviour and was puzzled.

Later, when Jangmi aroused Hwayoung's suspicions, then she is dead meat.

Raw episode now on kisskh?
Okkkkk. Thanks, Joetoca!
