ML's stepmom, FL and FL's mom are THE ONLY ONES flaming the fire of "our families hate each other"... why are they so adamnant about it....

ML's dad and FL's mom are an ongoing - at least one sided love story ... and ML's stepmom and FL's dad know that...
FL's mom and dad are deadbeats - why dont they divorce already - are there ANY feelings left there? See spoiler for details..

The key is that ML's birth mom ran away AND that ML's father was in love with FL's mom (the psychologist) - and he still married ML's mom..... and she knew it.... and the current ML's "mom" knows all this :)
Paco Nacho explained this to FL when they met in the restaurant

ML's dad still has feelings for FL's mom... AND FL's dad and ML's "current mom" know that...
And, the marriage between FL's parents is *dead* they should be divorced.

I thought that was an amazing lesson in karma.. If she had called him.. then she would have been ahead of the game on her husband too....
but what a karma, that ppl from both families keep eloping...

Your country is a huge place, and very socially, culturally, and environmentally diversified, so it is entirely possible that "your" space there is a little ... too modern :) In other words, it is quite likely you are living in some very wealthy world :) It is something for you to reflect upon :)

I am impressed with Paco Natcho's clever strategies - the Korea house was a great thing for him to "feel his home" again after so many years away, and also to escape the evil Boss and also to build a team with his coleagues and a personal team with FL -

to create an isolated environment where he would be in FL's face and totally show himself off and have many chances to spend close time with her, get to know her, get her to know him, and get under her radar and up close and personal .... and also, to have his coleagues adore him too - and yeah, he SUCCEEDED.

Very smart man!!!!! He is not a coward as some accuse him of, he is a great strategist, a FANTASTIC businessman and a leader, a GREAT considerate lover who is setting up very clever traps and ... succeeding :) SMART SMART SMART MAN!!!!! And very handsome too. And very nice too :) They will be happy ever after - even in Argentina if their families are against it LOL

BUT HAVE YOU NOTICED - IT IS ONLY THE WIVES WHO ARE AGAINST THE OTHER FAMILY? The grandma approved Eun Jin (spelling?) The dad approved VIP... Grandpa voted... Kids are dating... Bucket still has feelings for Doctor... etc etc etc
IT IS ONLY THE TWO WIVES WHO ARE STUCK :) and I think Bucket's wife is stuck bc Bucket still has feelings for the Psychologist...... and why is the Psychologist stuck.... hm... ?

I am curious where you live - but please do not feel obliged to answer it, it is more a question to you to answer to yourself...... . The drama looks totally like TODAY in a "typical" westernized place with leftovers of the traditional culture.

Easily - once or twice a week, turn your "tv" on and watch 2 episodes of the drama :)

nice and dumb :) he knew what his wife was doing and decided to forget it

Do they HAVE to be... ???

Exactly!!! The husband knew and decided to forget it. It is his fault.
The karma of the dumped wife is also hilarious - she did not call him to tell him his wife is cheating, and thus HER husband ran away lol

not sure where you live, but those business practices and downsizing are common in many places... e.g. USA ... .... companies downsize and just fire people... So at least this company was fair and got rid of "the dead weight" determined by the competition...

Let your love simmer deeper, and wait that week. It gives you time to digest the weekend episode and think about the drama. Binging means you will miss too many details.

wow!!!! I am gonna research him! Lots of Africans immigrated to Europe lately to avoid wars and hardship. There are lots of Africans that go to college in Europe and then stay. And there are wealthy Africans who immigrate bc they want to... So I am research his background :)

Nigeria has oil wells -most for US export - and those pipes and wells spill and TOTALLY polluted river Niger so most, if not the entire, population is displaced, starving, and without drinkable water...
Also, there are plenty wealthy Nigerians, from oil wells and from previous atlantic slave trading (yeah all coastal Africa were black slave traders and their kings had treaties about slave trading... and accumulated great wealth - from African coast, eg Goreo island in Senegal, slaves were loaded on ships, then sailed to N/S America, Europe, Asia... "The primary intermediate pitstops before crossing the Atlantic in the slave trade were European-built coastal slave factories (forts/castles) located along the West African coast, such as Elmina Castle in Ghana and Bunce Island in Sierra Leone. Captives were held here for weeks or months in dungeons waiting for enough slaves to be captured inland - BY AFRICANS - whites didnt dare go in - so waiting for enough slaves to load the ships. The march of kidnapped Africans from inland to the coast was Fist Passage. Captured Africans were held, traded, and branded by European traders in major, highly fortified trading posts, concentrated in the Gulf of Guinea (MODERN DAY NIGERIA, Ghana, Benin). Portugese used Cape Verde islands about 600km west from West Africa, where water is full of sharks so there is no way to escape, and ships could load water and food) etc etc etc Africans used to swim well but there was no escape from Cape Verde... Cidade Velha, located on Santiago Island in Cape Verde, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (inscribed in 2009) recognized as the first European colonial outpost in the tropics, founded in 1462 as Ribeira Grande. It was a pivotal 16th-century Atlantic hub for trade and slavery

And all of this bc western consumers wanted (cheap) tobacco and cotton and did not ask any qquestions where it came from... sounds familiar? LOL

Africa has a very dark past in selling their own. Slavery is common to Africa and tribes always hated, warrred, and enslaved each other.... African slavery was bad but never as monstruous as atlantic slave trade, so Africans did not know what they were doing -at first - but later they MUST have known, when they saw the ships loaded the way they were loaded... So Africa has a heavy heavy bad karma about this...
Ghanna has discussed that in some recent years.. but for most, it is still a hushed hushed topic... and for ALL African Americans, it is a hushed hushed topic and a pink elephant in the room.... they all chose not to see it and prefer to glorify Africa as this blemishless "motherland". The truth is, Africa was always as brutal as anywhere else... .and esp after the brutal colonization, the heavy karmic consequence of selling off their own ppl... Just like Native Americans did too...

Well maybe you went to a great school and/or some conservative small place - but let me assure you, I have lived in the USA in all kinds of places for ... I am not gonna age myself - and I lived in NYC proper for a year LOL where SR was and I can vouch to you, I heard that word on the streets and everywhere a LOT lol
and I have heard that sh.t in every sentence 3 times in sooooo many places!!!!!! in soooooo many circles!!!! Not in highly educated circles in public LOL

Ppl use it bc they are not very eloquent and so that word is a filler AND/OR for those who want to be outstanding rebels LOL
SR is a rebel and for some reason that word caught her attention so she is using it. It is short and to the point LOL and very convenient for someone like her - 2nd language speaker who was in the USA just for a few years as a young adult and took that word as a "souvenir" when she went back home

so - try to open your mind :) that other possibilities exist

and ALLOW HER to say that word instead of some other words which are way more sophisticated and indicate someone a lot more familiar and ingrained in English. SR was just a visitor for a few years. Those expressions you suggest are wayyyy too sophisticated for her

Seems like ML is a professional criminal. FL described what ML is doing as a financial fraud and crime - he buys bonds of destroyed companies and then owns them and sells them. So seems like ML is a true criminal and now exploiting IMF crisis with his partner in crime DK.

Bc FL described how ML buys bonds from a falling company so then he grabs the entire company, FL thinks he is a crook.
Someone here who apparently understands finances explained in a post above how that is done - he will financially jeopardize Hanmin, then buy its bond and get control of the company, then sell it and make tons of money.

So I think it is pretty sure at this point that ML is a financial fraudster and criminal.

FL is a "good guy" but she is stealing the slush fund LOL so ... you never know what will come out of this. There is some sliver of hope that ML is not a crook - but that is highly unlikely :)

Wow CEO ML is then all figured out, a financial fraudster and criminal. OK then we cross him off.

@BrightestStar I 100% agree with you :)
Definitely her goal is *not a relationship at the moment, but I think she is open to the idea, she was so tickled when Albert was hitting on her.

So... *IF* the right guy comes along, I think romance will happen.
Bc the drama is surprising, I am really curious to see WHO will pop up lol if anyone :)

when did Baek Ho get excited when SR messed with him as JM?

There was one scene where BH and JM almost kissed. There is nothing like that with BH and SR as JM....

Exactly!!! Jang Mi as Seo Rim will never be as spunky as the real Seo Rim....
