This drama deserves a lot higher rating, so to help you enjoy the plot more, I posted a BASIC SUMMARY OF CHARACTERS…
============================= SUMMARY OF MAIN CHARACTERS: ============================= FL: Myo Jin aka MJ - a poor girl who then cheatd with ML - we meet her as amnesic after she wakes up from a coma from a car accident after she left the site of murder. We meet her all meek and sleek and honestly trying to investigate, and later we learn that she was a vitriolic revenge psycho trying to kill people
ML: Ryo Jun Ho aka JH, whom we meet as a very nice handsome rich company owner / construction tycoon helping FL recover, but then slowly we learn he is a top level gangster, drugging and "jailing" FL to make sure she does NOT remember ML is very handsome and he uses women to get ahead
================================================ CHARACTERS AND GROUPS - THE BASIC SUMMARY ================================================ - ML --> hot shot architect. Before FL's coma he was live in of Choi Hui Su, and cheated on CHS with FL. After the coma, he does shady to prevent amnesic FL from remembering and poses as FL's fiance - FL ---> before coma, best friend of CHS and a rabid revenge girl. After coma, live-in of ML peacefully / secretly investigating - Choi Hui Su and her dad Chairman - chaebols who were killed just before the coma, Chairman was paying for ML's architecture business - - Joseonjok thugs Scrawny and Long Hair ---> who are after BoldHead to repay them, and BoldHead led them to his boss PurpleHair and ML's house (bc Purple Hair is currently living at ML's house - and btw her hair is black now) - BoldHead and PurpleHair thugs ---> who are planning to kidnap and sell FL - althoug PurplHair is hired by ML to keep FL "jailed" at home (but FL escaped) - ML has no clue that PurpleHair is playing him - Lee Joong Su thug ---> who was extorting CHS - with the help of Wang Gi Cheol ? - in any case before the coma, LJS and WGC were doing shady together to get to the Chairman and in that process used HS, JH, and FL - Wang Gi Cheol ----> was paid to take the fall for killing FL's parents, and LJS was the contact with the payer. After he got out of jail, he agreed to help FL revenge her parents. - and he seemed to collaborate with LJS on that. But LJS was also extorting CHS - was WGC involved in that? Currently, WGC is a construction worker, a homeowner in redevelopment area, dying of cancer. And FL contacted him to ask him for info, and FL remembered their deal.
AT THE END OF EP 6, ALL THESE GROUPS CLASH ---- JOSEONJOK THUGS AND BOLD HEAD COME TO NEAR JH'S HOUSE AND PLANNING TO ENTER IT, LOOKING FOR PURPLE HAIR, WHO IS INSIDE ML's HOUSE - and ML paid PurpleHair to do shady for him and has no idea PurpleHair is a traitor FL IS ALSO SUPPOSED TO BE INSIDE ML'S HOUSE, "JAILED" BY PURPLE HAIR, BUT FL ESCAPED. ANd we dont know where she went.
=================================================== MORE DETAILS, TIMELINE, PLOT =================================================== I organized this like this: first TIMELINE, then CHARACTERS - who they are, what they do, how they relate ============================= TIMELINE FROM MDL DESCRIPTION ============================= >>> FL's parents are killed >>> For 15 yrs FL tries to revenge her parents >>> Finally after 15 yrs, FL gets a good opportunity to revenge her parents >>> But revenge does not happen bc FL gets into a car accident and wakes up with amnesia >>> FL tries to remember what happened and finds new info ..
============================== MY TAKE ON THE TIMELINE ============================== >>> FL's parents are killed We do not know who ordered the murder and why. Homeless man Adjushi was paid to say he killed them and he went to jail for it. Adjushi tried to tell FL but she did not listen... FL was livid psycho with rage, visited Adjushi in prison, never listened to anything he had to say, and promised /screamed/made a scene that she will kill him. Adjushi just f.cked her off
>>> For 15 yrs FL tries to revenge her parents FL waited for Adjushi to get out of jail Finally, Adjushi got out of jail and bought a decrepid property
>>> Finally after 15 yrs, FL got a good opportunity to revenge her parents FL found Adjushi and tried to kill him at his house. Adjushi beat up FL and made her listen to him for the first time. He told FL that Chairman Young Ho (Hee Su's dad) ordered the murder and paid him to take the fall. So FL convinced Adjushi to join her in revenge (this is FL's memory)
So FL befriended HS, who was living with JH.... We are not sure who started first, but we see that JH first kissed FL and so they both cheated on HS... and HS knew it... We also later found out that at this time Adjushi was collaborating with LJS to track HS, JH to get to the Chairman.. LJS was blackmailing HS - was Adjushi on that? and FL was investigating LJS... SO THIS REVENGE SETUP LASTED FOR 2 YEARS...
AND THEN ... FL was in the Chairman's house when HS and Chairman died... FL remembers seeing HS in fire, and she drove away from the burning house and was hit by WTOD (this is from FL's memory) HS was stabbed with the knife and she and Chairman then died in an explosion fire - says police Restaurant neighbor said she saw JH enter the house on that day - but according to his official alibi, he was in Germany...
>>> But revenge does not happen bc FL gets into a car accident and wakes up with amnesia To be precise, the car accident was WTOD hitting FL's car. WHO SENT IT??
>>> FL tries to remember what happened and finds new info .. FL wakes up with ONLY JH by her side, telling her he was her fiance. He brings her to "his" house and does everything he can to prevent her from remembering. FL officially gots to a psychiatrist who helps her remember, but ML drugs her, and later tells the main doctor to NOT prescribe memory-help therapy to FL - and doctor says that if she gets the therapy, she can remember it now, and if not, lose it - and psychiatrist says that FL is like a normal person - she she is not remembering bc of ... ML's drugs... or shock? AND FROM NOW, THE DRAMA SHOWS FL'S MEMORIES WHENEVER SHE REMEMBERS SOMETHNG, SO THE DRAMA SHOWS A HODGE PODGE OF CURRENT TIME SCENES AND MEMORIES, ALL MIXED UP
AND THE AUDIENCE HAS TO FIGURE OUT WHICH SCENES ARE MEMORIES AND WHAT TIME SLOT EACH MEMORY BELONGS TO
============================= SUMMARY OF MAIN CHARACTERS: ============================= FL: Myo Jin aka MJ - a poor girl who then shacked up with JH - we meet her as amnesic after she wakes up from coma from car accident after she left the site of murder. We meet her all meek and sleek and later we learn that she was a vitriolic revenge psycho trying to kill people - and is still doing it
ML: Ryo Jun Ho aka JH, whom we meet as a very nice handsome rich company owner / construction tycoon helping FL recover, but then slowly we learn he is a top level gangster ML is very handsome and he uses women to get ahead =============== CHARACTERS: =============== CHAIRMAN CHOI (YOUNG HO?) AND HIS DAUGHTER HEE SU of Seokwang Group, - both were killed by .... JH and/ or FL?? - we will find out. Hee Su was shacking up with JH - who was effectively acting as her gigolo - he used HS to get ahead in arhitecture and he was paid by Chairman in many ways for being HS's lover - Chairman financed Mono architecture company owned by JH and it was under Chairman's "umbrella" FL was HS's best friend and then JH's secret lover, and HS knew about it HS and FL were hanging out in a gallery - which is often a front for slush funds and tax evasion. We dont know yet WHO ordered killing of FL's parents and WHY. Old Chairman or JH or HS or someone else? And who ordered WTOD? See details about this below.
FL's PARENTS - the green house owners, killed by ... ? Adjushi said they were killed by Chairman. Before her coma, FL was revenging them and trying to kill Adjushi. . ADJUSHI - the homeless neighbor who was paid to say he murdered FL's parents and who went to jail for it. Adjushi told FL that (Chairman's or JH's?) Chauffeur brokered the deal and told him that Chairman Choi Young Ho ordered that murder. Adjushi was supposed to be FL's collaborator in revenge but then she had the accident and lost her memory. Before the coma, Adjushi collaborated with LJS to track the Chairman. See the messages in ep 4 min 23 from copied LJS's phone. Currently, Adjushi has pancreatic cancer, 3 months to live, and he owns a decrepid property in demolition area. So he paid his ex-jail friend, a demolition thug, to help him bust the demolition. See details below.
CHAUFFEUR Lee Joong Su : the guy who escaped the Detective chasing him so the police took the Detective and left him alone. He was Old Chairman's chauffeur then quit and became a fancy thug. He was somehow "stirring Adjushi to extort Chairman, FL, and JH" says the text SO THE QUESTION IS - WHO ORDERED THE MURDER OF FL'S PARENTS AND WHY? Did the Chauffeur tell the truth or not? Did Adjushi help LJS to extort $300K and more from HS? How much was Adjushi helping FL in those 2 years before the coma?
FL: MYO JIN aka MJ - has 2 versions: version 1. "before coma" super violent rash stupid revenge edition where she was JH's secret lover and she and he cheated on HS - JH was HS's live in - and 2. "after coma" amnesia and quietly investigating her past, and JH keeps her essentially jailed, drugged and monitored and bribes doctors etc to NOT help her recover her memories.
Before coma, FL thought Adjushi was the murderer, and she promised to kill him He was in jail for many years. When he got out of jail, FL tried to kill Adjushi but Adjusthi told her what he knew, he said he has proofs ("insurance") and they agreed to cooperate. Seems like FL went to infiltrate Choi family. After coma, FL restored her phone, found messages from Chauffeur and Adjushi, found them and started investigating with a Detective, and ML tried to prevent her. FL also copied LJS's phone and found messages between him and Adjushi
ML: RYO JUN HO also called CHOI JUN HO, aka JH, MONO CHAIRMAN, CURRENTLY FAKING TO BE FL's FIANCE - a pretty boy con artist gangster. SERIOUS TOP LEVEL GANGSTER, very rich and powerful well connected, often operating by seducing women for favors.... We see him threatening ppl, using thugs, etc. He bribed to be the ONLY person next to FL after she wakes up from coma with amnesia... He is faking to be FL fiance, keeping FL under druggy improper medication, has hired Purple Hair Gangster Woman to monitor FL, is refusing to help FL recover - he bribed the doctors .... Before FL's coma, JH was living with HS, and her rich Chairman dad paid him for it Then JH cheated on HS with FL, and then... he and/or FL killed HS adn Chairman. After coma, JH told FL that he killed HS. Right now JH is also getting his Mono subcompany to be a separate company, he did shenaningans with the architecture competition for the museum see ep 6 min 21
============================ TIMELINE OF ML/FL/ADJUSHI ============================= Adjushi really liked FL's parents. but consented to say he killed them so that he could be paid for going to jail. We see scenes of FL visiting Adjushi in jail, he was super rude crude violent hostile - and she thought she was the murderer and so she was trying to revenge her parents and murder him.... and she was LIVID MAD about it, totaly out of control...
After many years, Adjushi got out of jail .... He got 2 bags of money via chauffeur and bought himself some property in a decrepid area FL TRIED TO MURDER ADJUSHI IN HIS HOUSE BUT HE BEAT HER UP AND TOLD HER HE WAS PAID TO BE FRAMED - and seems like they decided to cooperate against Chairman Choi. FL REMEMBERED THIS IN EP 6. AS SHE WAS DRIVING AWAY, ESCAPING JH AND PURPLE GIRL
At that time, 2 yrs ago, when Adjushi just got out of prison, Adjushi told FL that Chairman Choi is a gangster of such high level that they have no chance, but she said there must be a way and demanded he help her. He said he has "insurance" some proof that can be used against Choi. SO FL AND ADJUSHI MADE A DEAL TO COOPERATE AND BRING CHAIRMAN CHOI DOWN. ( THat all fell through when FL got hit by WTOD and lost her memories. FL LATER FOUND ADJUSHI FROM MESSAGES ON HER PHONE).
Back to that scene 2 yrs before the coma, when Adjushi and FL make a deal: Since FL said that her family did not know anyone rich, we conclude that FL then went to Choi family to set up revenge. This is all happening before the car accident...
SO FOR 2 YEARS, FL WAS SETTING UP REVENGE BY BEFRIENDING HS.. ?
Seems like FL befriended HS to bring Chairman Choi Young Ho down in revenge... Was seducing JH a part of FL's plan? We do not know. We see that JH kissed FL first, on 2 occasions.... HOWEVER, JH is a big gangster and he must have known FL is the daughter of the ppl killed... So it is very possible that JH was pretending to love MJ and then used her as his pawn in his game to become the chairman.
Then the murder of Chairman and HS happened, and FL remembered that she was at the murder scene and saw HS burning in a raging house fire. After being at the murder scene seeing HS die in fire, FL drove away'and was hit by a WTOD.
FL woke up from coma without ANY memories. She had nobody by her side except JH. At first he looks like a doting fiance, but later we learned that he bribed the hospital and essentially isolated FL and brainwashed her AND collaboartes with serious gngsters AND blackmails and threatens and bribes people... . JH brought MJ to his house and lied to her about many things from the past. JH told MJ that he killed HS. Later we learn that he bribes doctors to NOT help MJ restore her memory... So it is entirely possible that JH somehow used MJ to get rid of the Chairman and HS so that he can inherit faster
FL was leaving the house to go to a psychiatrist to recover her memories - the doc knows JH is a swindler and perhaps JH already removed that doc
FL somehow found her old phone and restored, and found a Detective to help her investigate... and they figured out a lot of stuff.... On her phone, she found Chauffer's and Adjushi's messages and called them - and then went to visit Adjushi in ep 4.
So FL left JH's house to go to psychiatrist on some days, and on other days, to roam around with the Detective - ... And JH saw that, got worried, and hired PurpleHead gangster woman to live in the house, monitor FL and prevent her from going out...
JH did not know that PurpleHair worked witih BaldHead to kidnap FL.. and that they will bring the Joseongjok thugs and SellingPeople gang to JH's house. See below ==================================================================
PURPLE HEAD GANGSTER WOMAN has purple hair when we first meet her. She is some higher-level crime boss of unknown origins and the girlfirned and slave owner of small kine ganster BOLD HEAD. JH paid PurpleHead to live in his house and to monitor and "jail" FL (PurpleHead died her hair black for that part). She got paid by JH at least $30K to monitor FL and never let her get out - yet she and BoldHead planned to kidnap FL and sell her - but BoldHead found someone else to sell her to and started working independently from PurpleHead
BOLD HEAD MALE GANGSTER - has a bar and his business is to sell people for money and to extort money. He pays bar and restaurant owners to drug customers, take fake pictures and blackmail them into paying huge amounts of money; or to drug customers and bring them to him so that he can sell them to another gang that ships them out. A "nice person" like FL cashes for about $200,000 Because BoldHead extorted money from some Joseaonjok people, their leaders started chasing BoldHead to recoup the money.
JOSEONJOK aka KOREAN CHINESE GANG consists of TWO thugs - the LongHair / moustache one and the Scrawny one - they take care of other Joseonjok people living locally... One group of them was a victim in a bar that works with Bold Head... and paid huge amounts of money... like $10K or so... So... LongHair and Scrawny are doing their own investigation and trying to recoup that money.
========================================== KIDNAPPINGS OF FL AND BOLD HEAD AND ALL GANGS COLLIDING TIMELINE =========================================== PurpleHead was hired by JH to monitor and "jail" FL but she secretly collaborated with BoldHead to kidnap and sell FL. So in ep 4, Purplehead intentionally let FL go out so that BoldHead can kidnap her, but FL somehow escaped the kidnapping. JH was livid and almost fired PurpleHead. but she promised to do better.
In ep 5, PurpleHead tried to "jail" FL per JH's orders, but FL overheard their call and realized JH is jailing her.. So FL decided to escape and jumped out of window and drove away to ... ? Driving after so long reminded her of going to Adjushi's house before coma and making the deal with Adjushi...so her memories of meeting Adjushi 2 yrs ago, right after he got out of prison, are in ep 6.
but BoldHead and kidnappers gang were following FL in a black van and kidnapped her after she got out of the car.... .. but Joseonjok thugs were looking for Bald Head, and somehow found the kidnappers van, waited or them to come back (and they came back with drugged kidnapped FL). Then LongHair and Scrawny attacked them, kidnapped BoldHead and left the drugged out FL in the van. They had no idea who she was. THe only reason they left her there is bc Scrawny did not want to use her a slave for rape, she was not his type... SO FL WOKE UP ALONE IN THE CAR at the start of ep 5 and went home.
JH had no idea that PurpleHair arranged all this and he yelled at her to monitor FL better..... So in ep 5, Purple Hair tried to drug FL. but FL did not swallow the pills, overheard that Purple Hair and JH were jailing her, and escaped and DROVE AWAY. Ep 6 is about her memories fom the past. So at the end of ep 6, FL is in the car, driving away, where to?
====== Ep 6 continues Ep 5 current story about Joseonjok and Bold Head. How did two Joseaonjok thugs find kidnapper's van (and indirectly saved FL) in ep 5? They were looking to recoup the money that their fellow Joseonjok friends had to pay in a bar that that worked for BoldHead and drugged them, took fake photos, and blackmailed them... So they kidnapped the bar owner, and he took them to BoldHead's bar... and then bar owner, Long Hair and Scrawny started to follow Bold Head .... I forgot how they found BoldHead while he and the Kidnapper Gang were followng FL in a black van trying to kidnap FL .... ....
Joseonjok thugs saw the empty van... they waited for ppl to return (kidnappers succeeded and returned with drugged FL), then attacked them... (bar owner escaped successfully this time, I think)... 2 Joseonjok thugs chased away the kidnapping gang and kidnapped BoldHead... and tortured him... and he told them about PurpleHead located at JH's house. That led to Joseonjok thugs snooping on PurpleHead at JH house... ... the two Joseonjok and BoldHead went to JH/FL house .... and BoldHead escaped and beat up Scrawny ... and ... LongHair escaped.
When Joseonjok thugs LongHair and Scrawny attached the kidnappers' van, kidnapped BoldHead and killed/chased others, they left FL in the car instead of taking her as a slave for raping ...bc she was not Scrawny's type... ... !!!! so when FL woke up in that van all alone, she just walked away and went home to JH, who ordered PurpleHair to Jail FL - so FL escaped and drove away.
SO THAT IS THE CURRENT SITUATION - FL WENT OUT DESPITE PURPLE HEAD MONITORING HER - while PurpleHead was scheming with Bold Head to kidnap FL , THEN PURPLEHEAD WAS TASKED TO "JAIL" FL and FL LEARNED THAT JH ORDERED THAT, SO FL SECRETLY ESCAPED - SHE JUMPED OUT OF THE WINDOW, took a car and left .
FL WENT TO ....?
======================================= WHERE EVERYONE IS AT THE END OF EP 6: ======================================= FL is driving away in a white car, remembering her visiting Adjushi 2 years ago when he came out of prison.
PurpleHead is all alone in JH's house, panicking... JH still does not know that FL escaped? I think - and PurpleHead bought a Hong Kong passport and plans to leave - and LongHair thug saw that Joseonjok thugs and their kidnapped victim Bold Head are around JH's house coming to get money from PurpleHead - but BoldHead escaped and beat up Scrawny... and LongHair ran away when police came. (BoldHead was kidnapped by Joseonjok thugs and he told them to ask money from PurpleHead - and so Joseonjok ppl went to FL/JH house where PurpleHead is - )
JH bribed the doctor to quit treating FL so that she does not remember. JH also blackmailed ViceChairman of Mono so now JH got his company to separate from Mono i.e JH now has his own company... JH also bailed out of architecture competition so now the Chief Judge knows how big of a scammer JH is... I still dont quite understand what JH was trying to accomplish with that competition or with bailing out of it.
SO AT THIS POINT, ALL THUG'S PATHS ARE CONNECTED AND JOEONJOK ARE UNINTENTIONALLY STARTING TO STEP ON THE TOES OF JH, THE ULTIMATE GANG LEADER....
PURPLE HAIR WILL BE PUNISHED BY JH - but JOSEONJOK ARE ALSO AFTER HER - so she is pretty much isolated and done for unless she makes another deal with JH
BOLD HEAD BETRAYED PURPLE HEAD, MESSED UP KIDNAPPERS, LOST HIS BAR OWNER AND JOSEONJOK IS AFTER HIM - so BoldHead is pretty much done for... He has to lee Korea asap or he dies :)
FL cannot go back to JH's house unless she lies :) but ... will he let her.... and for how long... ?
so that's where we end
============================= RECAP PER EPISODE ============================= At the very end of ep 4: Purple Hair and Bold Head are working together to kidnap and sell FL, so although Purple Girl is supposed to "jail" FL, she let her go out and Bold Head was following FL..
And FL left JH's house bc she found Wang Gi Chal's aka Adjushi phone number and called him and went to visit him.... and he told her she has to get her head straight on if she wants to revenge.. ... he also mentioned 2 yrs ago when he got out of prison and she tried to kill him (AND SHE WILL REMEMBER THAT IN EP 6.) WE DO NOT REALLY KNOW WHAT ELSE HE TOLD HER
and on her way out, BoldHead and kidnapper gang kidnapped her.... but she was magically saved bc Joseonjok attacked the kidnapper gang and BaldHead, and captured Bold Head = and left FL alone in the car.. ...
EP 5: and then FL came back home and JH ordered PurpleGirl to drug FL and keep her at home for sure
So at this point, FL learns that JH is jailing her with PurpleGirl . and she escapes..
EP 6 ends with FL driving away from JH's house, she escaped "the jail" and she is remembering how she visited Adjushi 2 years ago and tried to kill him and they made a deal WHERE IS FL GOING? Joseonjok thugs and Bold Head go to JH's house to grab Purple Hair - Bold Head escapes, he and Scrawny fight, LongHair runs away JH is telling the doctor to NOT help FL remember
This drama deserves a lot higher rating, so to help you enjoy the plot more, I posted a BASIC SUMMARY OF CHARACTERS AND UPDATED RECAP - SEE THE VERY FIRST SPOILER BELOW This is a really good thriller so the script gives cues but never gives full answers all the way to the end... and NOTHING IS RANDOM!!! seemingly random ppl and events are already related or become related by the end of ep 6..... Also, the scenes are not random!!! we see scenes from "present time" mixed up with scenes from FL's memory. You have to figure out what pieces are memory and "put it" into the time frame where it belongs.
So this thriller is really good, the script does have cues but it is not easy to crack, everything is up in the air and you have to watch carefully and take notes. For example... FL has 3 phones... :) There are several seemingly unrelated groups ..... And in ep 1-6 you get to meet them one by one "in their regular life" so that you know what they are like.... you see them doing shady and collaborating and cheating each other .... ALL THESE PEOPLE HAVE BUSINESS TOGETHER - AND THEY ALL INTERSECT BY THE END OF EP 6
This is a REAL LIFE THRILLER - groups of various criminals working together!!! it looks like omeone with real life experience has written the script.
========================================================== The basic summary of characters and groups is at the very top of the RECAP, see the first spoiler. So read that to get the basic understanding that will help you get through the last 2 episodes. The spoiler then has a detailed updated recap too, ifyou want to understand the details. If you want even more detail, read the thread between me and mysteryqueen9. We figured out a lot of stuff, you can read the latest of our discussion to find out how far we got.. ========================================================
BASIC SUMMARY OF CHARACTERS AND UPDATED RECAP IS POSTED IN THE VERY FIRST SPOILER BELOW
Ep 5 around min 30, police left JH's house, and his servant brought to JH thAT BoX FROM RI A ... who is Ri A -…
I said before that I was suspecting that FL seduced JH for the sake of revenge.. It is not quite sure yet... BUT JH being the gangster he was, he must have known FL's past. so ... FOR SURE he was seducing her back in some kind of calculation... And also, ... HS being the rich girl.. must have known FL's past too !!!! And, FL became a real friend - all her memories after coma are about HS being a good friend and FL feeling sorry she betrayed her.
WHO SENT WTOD THAT CAUSED THE CAR ACCIDENT???
WE KNOW FOR SURE THIS HAPPENED BEFORE THE COMA: ======================================================= Per Adjushi telling FL after coma: LJS *said* to Adjushi that Chairman paid Adjushi to take the fall - so we dont know if LJS lied to Adjushi or not OR if Adjushi lied to FL or not... or if Chairman truly paid but for someone else...
Per ExDetective's report to FL before coma and then after coma: LJS was Chairman's chauffer and then quit his job and became a rich looking professional thug
For sure, FL approached HS to pretend to be her friend so that she could do the revenge. and Adjushi was supposedly helping her in that revenge, as shown in ep 6 -
WHAT WE KNOW HAPPENED AFTER COMA: ==================================== Per reports of ExDecetive, FL testimony and content of LJS's phone: LJS was blackmailing HS, she gave him $300K and he came back for more, and HS knew that JH and FL cheated
AH THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THE PHONES!!! this is why it helps to do this together I totally forgot that FL read stuff of copy of LJS's phone... Indeed!!!! And it had messages between LJS and WGC: ""using them only to get to Chairman". "you are alive only for my revenge"... " HS is coming back and you can meet her at the gallery"
Ep 4 min 23 messages on copied LJS's phone between LJS and Adjushi make it look like Adjushi was threatening to kill LJS and forcing lJS to assist in ADJUSHI'S REVENGE against Chairman .... and ADJUSHI WAS GOING TO MEET HS.....
For sure, FL was befriending HS and possibly seducing JH to track down the Chairman, For sure, Adjushi was working with LJS to track HS and track down Chairman. For sure, LJS was blackmailing HS and got $300K and came for more and was trying to get to Chairman So - who was working with whom and on what??? FL and Adjushi made a deal that he will cooperate in her revenge... So seems like Adjushi was helping her at least to some degree - but did Adjushi help LJS blackmail HS? How come FL had to ask for a report on LJS?
==== As for the phones: How many does FL have? 3 #3. The blank one ExDetective gave her, with LSJ copied onto it. That one is 100% black and has no enforced edges.
#2. Her own new blank phone that JH gave her. That one has thick aluminum gray edges and aluminum gray back, so it is obvious when she uses it, it looks light.
#1, Her own old pre-coma phone that restaurant lady gave her and she restored. That one has thin dark gray edge. See ep 2 min 33 just for a second as that phone lies on some surface as lady is giving it
THe phone that she uses to make calls to exDetective in ep 4 min 23 seems to have a gray edge. From the light, it might even be the brand new phone... ???
In ep 4 min 23, we see that she looked up some phone, then is using her old phone and looking at LJS phone to say stuff. Then we see her meddling again through her bag. BASED ON THE LOOK OF THE PHONE SHE IS READING, INDEED IT IS THE COPY OF LJS's PHONE, it has black edges
Ep 4 min 23 is when she pulls 100% black phone and the subtitles say read message with Wang Gi Cheol, saying "using them only to get to Chairman" and "you are alive only for my revenge"... Why would LSJ and Adjushi talk about that? It really sounds like FL and Adjushi.. BUT IT IS COPY OF LJS's PHONE!!!!!
Then again FL reads from copy of LJS's phone: " HS is coming back and you can meet her at the gallery"
But what FL *says* to ExDetective is diferent than what she was reading off the phone - amd I think she was reading copy of LJS's.... she tells ExDetctive that LJS phone has messages between LJS and Adjushi about FL and money and how they need to get to Chairman. We never saw such messages ON the phone that she just pulled from her bag and read. What she reads on the phone is diferent that she tells ExDetective.
And there is scene aroudn that time where FL remembrs LSJ after the auto accident tlling her that she killed 2 people in revenge and that's enough.
And the neighbors tell FL that JH killed the chairman and is a scary man and that FL did not live near or in JH's house back then. That Chairman died in his sleep from explosion.
So - someone stabbed HS and then someone set the fire
LJS talking about using "them" (HS and JH?) to get to Chairman - what is that about? Who said "you are only alive bc of my revenge" - was Adjushi threatening LJS? so that new info ADJUSHI WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING FL's REVENGE - so why would Adjushi help LJS extort HS and FL did not know that... ??? WERE ADJUSHI AND LJS TOGETHER BLACKMAILING OR DOING SOMETHING TO THE CHAIRMAN AND HS... ? WAS ADJUSHI HELPING FL... BUT THEN ... WHY WOULD FL BE INVESTIGATING LJS FOR BLACKMAILING AND EXTORTING HS?? WOULDN"T FL KNOW WHAT ADJUSHI WAS DOING IF THEY WERE THE SAME TEAM?? OR ... ??
^^^ Why would be LJS trying to reach the Chairman when he already supposedly was his Chauffer and was a go-between to bribe Adjushi to take the fall?
So the answer is - something was shady - LJS quit his job LJS got $300,000 from HS and seems like he came back to extort more from Chairman and HS - and seems like Adjushi was on it with LJS to at least some degree - was Adjushi using LJS and LJS was using the chance to extort HS? <<<<<<<
Adjushi somehow got bag of money after coma... So that bag of money came from whom??? for what?
Ep 5 around min 30, police left JH's house, and his servant brought to JH thAT BoX FROM RI A ... who is Ri A -…
YEAH! When JH checks the texts with Wang Gi Cheol - it says that "those 2 are smarter than you or me " - THIS IS WHAT ADJUSHI COULD HAVE SAID - he repeated it in currnt time too
and then "I approached JH, fiance of HS... Chairman is financing JH's company Mono.... I am using HS and JH to track Chairman.. nobody noticed me" THIS SOUNDS LIKE FL COLLABORATING IN REVENGE WIth ADJUSHI, PER THEIR DEAL 2 YRS AGO
wow so she "invited" JH to seduce her and was it the issue that she kept asking HS to make her meet Chairman and HS kept denying? FL never met the chairman FL was hanging out at HS-JH house
so yeah FL tracking JH back then - sp she tracked him to the house where chairman was
==========
OR
It can be LSJ talking about something else with Adjushi
BUT THEN why would they talk about that???? LSJand Adjushi had no reason to talk about tracking Chairman, approaching JH, etc...
Ep 5 around min 30, police left JH's house, and his servant brought to JH thAT BoX FROM RI A ... who is Ri A -…
yah you are right it could be LSJ's messages since she downloaded them...
Wait - the messages said he/she befriended JH so that he can find where Chairman is???? - WAS THAT HER MESSAGE TO ADJUSHI???? which explains why she seduced JH / let JH seduce her.
I get her frustration with you. You keep saying bad things about this drama but you can't even get past Episode…
Hm you started this "conversation" because YOU SAID THAT IT IS OK TO PERSONALLY INSULT PEOPLE WHEN YOU FEEL ANNOYED. And you continue with this attitude.
So - stop bothering me. NEVER EVER write to me again. FAREWELL
like another comment said, the concept itself is interesting, a woman who wakes up alone with amnesia and her…
But that is exactly what this drama is ... she wakes up not knowing anything and then starts investigating and discovering more and more eerie stuff. and remembering more and more eerie stuff.. like... she was trying to kill ppl, her fiance is jailing her, she saw HS burn alive, etc.
THERE IS NOTHING RANDOM IN THIS DRAMA. all those groups of people are shown living their life but eventually they all interact and are critical parts of this story
****If you dont understand the plot, read my recap and also the summary I just posted****. The plot seems tricky bc her memories and curent time are all mixed up so you have to figure out what is memory and what is current time, and then put the memory into the time frame where it belongs.
Ep 5 around min 30, police left JH's house, and his servant brought to JH thAT BoX FROM RI A ... who is Ri A -…
yeah it is possible that ML and Chairman did some land or other stuff ad killed FL's parents
I remember that ML gave a brand new phone to FL, then she complained then i think ML gave her the old phone and said it is cracked from the accident,,,,, and she repaired it. But you are saying the phone was already in the show frpm before the accident?? so she took it to the shop and repaired it and got LSJ and Adjushi's messages on it and called them.
I remember the thief - that Ri A spy who stole the phone that she sent in a box to JH? Or did she steal it just bc FL left it in the house when she rushed out? I dont remember that part.
IN ANY CASE: the phone in the box was sent by Ri A to JH and it is FL's old phone? Yes the messages indicate so. Adjushi was saying 'they are smarter than you and me".
Ep 5 around min 30 has 2 detectives coming to talk to JH, then FL googles her meds, and then ExDetective goes out to chase LSJ in the hospital and he says:
" I am sure there is something much bigger than murder o HS behind this, bc LSJ ralied Adjushi and BLACKMAILED CHAIRMAN, JH AND FL." Sp... why was the ExDetective thinking that? I can see why LSJ would be blackmailing Chairmain and JH, they got money.... but LSJ blackmailing FL... ??? how? why? when?
LSJ came to convince Adjushi to frame himself. LSJ told Adjushi Chairman sent him - but ... **I suspect there is some nasty game there*** if Chairman is the murderer, there is no way LSJ would tell that. If Chairman is NOT the murderer but is just paying for someone, ... I still doubt LSJ would disclose it. So somehow i think LSJ made Adjushi hate the Chairman and somehow caused trouble to Chairman that LSJ could cash on. LSJ is a super slimey liar...
Well at least seems like we milked out as much as we could and now we just wait for the next ep to get the next piece of the puzzle :)
DO WE KNOW WHERE FL DROVE TO AT THE END O EP 6? BoldHead escaped from Joseonjok 2 boss thugs, and Scrawny Thug and BH were fighting, police car was soundng, and LongHairThug ran away. That was near JH's house, FL just escaped and drove away, and Purple Hair was alone in the house, with a HongKong passport and ready to leave.... JH did not know that FL escaped. he was busy telling the doctor to NOT help restore FL's memories.
Ep 5 around min 30, police left JH's house, and his servant brought to JH thAT BoX FROM RI A ... who is Ri A -…
After rewatching - now I am sure we get all the hints in the script, they are always saying things, but it is so fast, you have to catch it, and REMEMBER IT ... which is hard :)
Ok then it is FL's phone that Ri A sent to JH? ... I dont remember that FL was missing her phone... ? when was that? But I do remember that in that scene JH isays to himself - ah so FL is investigating!!!! and he gets worried and tells PurpleHair to watch FL more closely....
Detective scene is right after the police-JH scene and then FL checking her meds scene in ep 5 around min 35
LSJ came to Adjushi and said - CHAIRMAN said you should turn yourself in. But we dont know if he lied. He could have gotten the money from someone else. His motive... ???? always money...
Detective was saying LSJ riled Adjushi and then blackmailed CHAIRMAIN, JH and ML. But we saw LSJ blackmailed HS. Well - HS is rich and has a certain status to keep so ... her shacking up in common law marriage with JH and being cheated on by her best friends would kill her social status and the stock of the company, plus her relationship with her father, and who knows what else... and yeah it is possible HS was afraid Chairman will hurt JH and FL..
and yeah it i possible that FL's parents didnt sell the land etc = ARE CHAIRMAN OR JH INTO REDEVELOPMENT BUSINESS??? that's very possible
Is JH strictly arhitecture only or totol-construction biz owner? bc someone called him "constructon tycoon"
THE DEMOLITION BUSINESS IS NOT IN HERE BY RANDOM - adjush hired that thug ... and demolition thugs work for whom? JH? Chairmain's company?
Yes the key question is: "WHAT he wants to keep from FL SO MUCH that he has 0 problem with telling her "I killed Hee Su" while at the same time pulling all the strings to avoid FL knowing the hidden truth. "
He was so emotional while he was saying he killed HS. When did he say that? He was so emotional and I had a feeling he was lying big time. But so emotional... why? I had feling he was lying big time and also there WAS something true behind it - you know the kind of lie: I AM GOING TO DIE FROM CANCER RIGHT NOW AND I NEED YOU TO GIVE ME MONEY - but in reality he went gambling and lost and is feeling the pressure - that kind of emotional ly fueled lie
i am not expecting anything from jangmi anymore ..... maybe she can marry baekho at ep140 .....also the script…
yeah you are right, obviously the script writer decided to pick more interesting characters :) I still feel Dumb Mi takes too much time with the DUMB part
yup! seems like she started - those big hoop earings, a slinky dress and the Lawyer $$$ and status are gonna catch attention :) Maybe there is even some guy who was waiting but she was taken
I just watched kmovie Mad Dance Office (no subs, but i kinda got it :) and swear that the flamenco teacher was this actress who is Aunt/Mom here ... but isnt :) They are just very similar. Watch the movie it is really fun.
Ep 5 around min 30, police left JH's house, and his servant brought to JH thAT BoX FROM RI A ... who is Ri A -…
yeah that's what I meant, he is drugging her to prevent her from remembering. I said poisoning bc she complained the medicine makes her feel sick - that's one side effect
Augh there are no names on MDL and Wikipedoa so ... that Ri A person is definitely am ally of JH and yes I think it is LSJ's phone. he was in the hospital
the Ex Detective said there is something a LOT bigger than HS murder behind this. And it is related to FL's parents murder. What did they see or whatever - what was going on - so that Chairman had to kill them.. but WAS IT CHAIRMAN THOUGH? Bc it is entirely possible that LSJ killed FL's parents and then faked it that Chairman sent him, etc.
The phone and detective say that LSH manipulated Adjushi and blackmailed Chairman, JH and FL we dont know how yet
So how will Dumb Mi become such a stellar manager and impress the Board when DUMB MI CANNOT EVEN SAY ONE SENTENCE RIGHT....???? when SR confronts her, the only thing JM can say is "It is a misunderstanding." OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND SAY - JH WAS HARASSING ME Just like LawyerMom says it all in once sentence, no time wasted
the plot is too cheesy now bc certain things still do not "match" and are out of place

SUMMARY OF MAIN CHARACTERS:
=============================
FL: Myo Jin aka MJ - a poor girl who then cheatd with ML - we meet her as amnesic after she wakes up from a coma from a car accident after she left the site of murder. We meet her all meek and sleek and honestly trying to investigate, and later we learn that she was a vitriolic revenge psycho trying to kill people
ML: Ryo Jun Ho aka JH, whom we meet as a very nice handsome rich company owner / construction tycoon helping FL recover, but then slowly we learn he is a top level gangster, drugging and "jailing" FL to make sure she does NOT remember
ML is very handsome and he uses women to get ahead
================================================
CHARACTERS AND GROUPS - THE BASIC SUMMARY
================================================
- ML --> hot shot architect. Before FL's coma he was live in of Choi Hui Su, and cheated on CHS with FL. After the coma, he does shady to prevent amnesic FL from remembering and poses as FL's fiance
- FL ---> before coma, best friend of CHS and a rabid revenge girl. After coma, live-in of ML peacefully / secretly investigating
- Choi Hui Su and her dad Chairman - chaebols who were killed just before the coma, Chairman was paying for ML's architecture business -
- Joseonjok thugs Scrawny and Long Hair ---> who are after BoldHead to repay them, and BoldHead led them to his boss PurpleHair and ML's house (bc Purple Hair is currently living at ML's house - and btw her hair is black now)
- BoldHead and PurpleHair thugs ---> who are planning to kidnap and sell FL - althoug PurplHair is hired by ML to keep FL "jailed" at home (but FL escaped) - ML has no clue that PurpleHair is playing him
- Lee Joong Su thug ---> who was extorting CHS - with the help of Wang Gi Cheol ? - in any case before the coma, LJS and WGC were doing shady together to get to the Chairman and in that process used HS, JH, and FL
- Wang Gi Cheol ----> was paid to take the fall for killing FL's parents, and LJS was the contact with the payer. After he got out of jail, he agreed to help FL revenge her parents. - and he seemed to collaborate with LJS on that. But LJS was also extorting CHS - was WGC involved in that? Currently, WGC is a construction worker, a homeowner in redevelopment area, dying of cancer. And FL contacted him to ask him for info, and FL remembered their deal.
AT THE END OF EP 6, ALL THESE GROUPS CLASH ---- JOSEONJOK THUGS AND BOLD HEAD COME TO NEAR JH'S HOUSE AND PLANNING TO ENTER IT, LOOKING FOR PURPLE HAIR, WHO IS INSIDE ML's HOUSE - and ML paid PurpleHair to do shady for him and has no idea PurpleHair is a traitor
FL IS ALSO SUPPOSED TO BE INSIDE ML'S HOUSE, "JAILED" BY PURPLE HAIR, BUT FL ESCAPED. ANd we dont know where she went.
===================================================
MORE DETAILS, TIMELINE, PLOT
===================================================
I organized this like this: first TIMELINE, then CHARACTERS - who they are, what they do, how they relate
=============================
TIMELINE FROM MDL DESCRIPTION
=============================
>>> FL's parents are killed
>>> For 15 yrs FL tries to revenge her parents
>>> Finally after 15 yrs, FL gets a good opportunity to revenge her parents
>>> But revenge does not happen bc FL gets into a car accident and wakes up with amnesia
>>> FL tries to remember what happened and finds new info ..
==============================
MY TAKE ON THE TIMELINE
==============================
>>> FL's parents are killed
We do not know who ordered the murder and why.
Homeless man Adjushi was paid to say he killed them and he went to jail for it. Adjushi tried to tell FL but she did not listen...
FL was livid psycho with rage, visited Adjushi in prison, never listened to anything he had to say, and promised /screamed/made a scene that she will kill him. Adjushi just f.cked her off
>>> For 15 yrs FL tries to revenge her parents
FL waited for Adjushi to get out of jail
Finally, Adjushi got out of jail and bought a decrepid property
>>> Finally after 15 yrs, FL got a good opportunity to revenge her parents
FL found Adjushi and tried to kill him at his house. Adjushi beat up FL and made her listen to him for the first time. He told FL that Chairman Young Ho (Hee Su's dad) ordered the murder and paid him to take the fall. So FL convinced Adjushi to join her in revenge (this is FL's memory)
So FL befriended HS, who was living with JH.... We are not sure who started first, but we see that JH first kissed FL and so they both cheated on HS... and HS knew it...
We also later found out that at this time Adjushi was collaborating with LJS to track HS, JH to get to the Chairman.. LJS was blackmailing HS - was Adjushi on that? and FL was investigating LJS...
SO THIS REVENGE SETUP LASTED FOR 2 YEARS...
AND THEN ...
FL was in the Chairman's house when HS and Chairman died... FL remembers seeing HS in fire, and she drove away from the burning house and was hit by WTOD (this is from FL's memory)
HS was stabbed with the knife and she and Chairman then died in an explosion fire - says police
Restaurant neighbor said she saw JH enter the house on that day - but according to his official alibi, he was in Germany...
>>> But revenge does not happen bc FL gets into a car accident and wakes up with amnesia
To be precise, the car accident was WTOD hitting FL's car. WHO SENT IT??
>>> FL tries to remember what happened and finds new info ..
FL wakes up with ONLY JH by her side, telling her he was her fiance. He brings her to "his" house and does everything he can to prevent her from remembering. FL officially gots to a psychiatrist who helps her remember, but ML drugs her, and later tells the main doctor to NOT prescribe memory-help therapy to FL - and doctor says that if she gets the therapy, she can remember it now, and if not, lose it - and psychiatrist says that FL is like a normal person - she she is not remembering bc of ... ML's drugs... or shock?
AND FROM NOW, THE DRAMA SHOWS FL'S MEMORIES WHENEVER SHE REMEMBERS SOMETHNG, SO THE DRAMA SHOWS A HODGE PODGE OF CURRENT TIME SCENES AND MEMORIES, ALL MIXED UP
AND THE AUDIENCE HAS TO FIGURE OUT WHICH SCENES ARE MEMORIES AND WHAT TIME SLOT EACH MEMORY BELONGS TO
=============================
SUMMARY OF MAIN CHARACTERS:
=============================
FL: Myo Jin aka MJ - a poor girl who then shacked up with JH - we meet her as amnesic after she wakes up from coma from car accident after she left the site of murder. We meet her all meek and sleek and later we learn that she was a vitriolic revenge psycho trying to kill people - and is still doing it
ML: Ryo Jun Ho aka JH, whom we meet as a very nice handsome rich company owner / construction tycoon helping FL recover, but then slowly we learn he is a top level gangster
ML is very handsome and he uses women to get ahead
===============
CHARACTERS:
===============
CHAIRMAN CHOI (YOUNG HO?) AND HIS DAUGHTER HEE SU of Seokwang Group, - both were killed by .... JH and/ or FL?? - we will find out.
Hee Su was shacking up with JH - who was effectively acting as her gigolo - he used HS to get ahead in arhitecture and he was paid by Chairman in many ways for being HS's lover - Chairman financed Mono architecture company owned by JH and it was under Chairman's "umbrella"
FL was HS's best friend and then JH's secret lover, and HS knew about it
HS and FL were hanging out in a gallery - which is often a front for slush funds and tax evasion.
We dont know yet WHO ordered killing of FL's parents and WHY. Old Chairman or JH or HS or someone else?
And who ordered WTOD?
See details about this below.
FL's PARENTS - the green house owners, killed by ... ? Adjushi said they were killed by Chairman. Before her coma, FL was revenging them and trying to kill Adjushi.
.
ADJUSHI - the homeless neighbor who was paid to say he murdered FL's parents and who went to jail for it. Adjushi told FL that (Chairman's or JH's?) Chauffeur brokered the deal and told him that Chairman Choi Young Ho ordered that murder. Adjushi was supposed to be FL's collaborator in revenge but then she had the accident and lost her memory.
Before the coma, Adjushi collaborated with LJS to track the Chairman. See the messages in ep 4 min 23 from copied LJS's phone.
Currently, Adjushi has pancreatic cancer, 3 months to live, and he owns a decrepid property in demolition area. So he paid his ex-jail friend, a demolition thug, to help him bust the demolition.
See details below.
CHAUFFEUR Lee Joong Su : the guy who escaped the Detective chasing him so the police took the Detective and left him alone. He was Old Chairman's chauffeur then quit and became a fancy thug. He was somehow "stirring Adjushi to extort Chairman, FL, and JH" says the text
SO THE QUESTION IS - WHO ORDERED THE MURDER OF FL'S PARENTS AND WHY? Did the Chauffeur tell the truth or not?
Did Adjushi help LJS to extort $300K and more from HS?
How much was Adjushi helping FL in those 2 years before the coma?
FL: MYO JIN aka MJ - has 2 versions:
version 1. "before coma" super violent rash stupid revenge edition where she was JH's secret lover and she and he cheated on HS - JH was HS's live in - and
2. "after coma" amnesia and quietly investigating her past, and JH keeps her essentially jailed, drugged and monitored and bribes doctors etc to NOT help her recover her memories.
Before coma, FL thought Adjushi was the murderer, and she promised to kill him
He was in jail for many years.
When he got out of jail, FL tried to kill Adjushi but Adjusthi told her what he knew, he said he has proofs ("insurance") and they agreed to cooperate. Seems like FL went to infiltrate Choi family.
After coma, FL restored her phone, found messages from Chauffeur and Adjushi, found them and started investigating with a Detective, and ML tried to prevent her.
FL also copied LJS's phone and found messages between him and Adjushi
ML: RYO JUN HO also called CHOI JUN HO, aka JH, MONO CHAIRMAN, CURRENTLY FAKING TO BE FL's FIANCE - a pretty boy con artist gangster. SERIOUS TOP LEVEL GANGSTER, very rich and powerful well connected, often operating by seducing women for favors.... We see him threatening ppl, using thugs, etc. He bribed to be the ONLY person next to FL after she wakes up from coma with amnesia... He is faking to be FL fiance, keeping FL under druggy improper medication, has hired Purple Hair Gangster Woman to monitor FL, is refusing to help FL recover - he bribed the doctors ....
Before FL's coma, JH was living with HS, and her rich Chairman dad paid him for it Then JH cheated on HS with FL, and then... he and/or FL killed HS adn Chairman.
After coma, JH told FL that he killed HS.
Right now JH is also getting his Mono subcompany to be a separate company, he did shenaningans with the architecture competition for the museum see ep 6 min 21
============================
TIMELINE OF ML/FL/ADJUSHI
=============================
Adjushi really liked FL's parents. but consented to say he killed them so that he could be paid for going to jail.
We see scenes of FL visiting Adjushi in jail, he was super rude crude violent hostile - and she thought she was the murderer and so she was trying to revenge her parents and murder him.... and she was LIVID MAD about it, totaly out of control...
After many years, Adjushi got out of jail ....
He got 2 bags of money via chauffeur and bought himself some property in a decrepid area
FL TRIED TO MURDER ADJUSHI IN HIS HOUSE BUT HE BEAT HER UP AND TOLD HER HE WAS PAID TO BE FRAMED - and seems like they decided to cooperate against Chairman Choi. FL REMEMBERED THIS IN EP 6. AS SHE WAS DRIVING AWAY, ESCAPING JH AND PURPLE GIRL
At that time, 2 yrs ago, when Adjushi just got out of prison, Adjushi told FL that Chairman Choi is a gangster of such high level that they have no chance, but she said there must be a way and demanded he help her. He said he has "insurance" some proof that can be used against Choi.
SO FL AND ADJUSHI MADE A DEAL TO COOPERATE AND BRING CHAIRMAN CHOI DOWN. ( THat all fell through when FL got hit by WTOD and lost her memories. FL LATER FOUND ADJUSHI FROM MESSAGES ON HER PHONE).
Back to that scene 2 yrs before the coma, when Adjushi and FL make a deal:
Since FL said that her family did not know anyone rich, we conclude that FL then went to Choi family to set up revenge. This is all happening before the car accident...
SO FOR 2 YEARS, FL WAS SETTING UP REVENGE BY BEFRIENDING HS.. ?
Seems like FL befriended HS to bring Chairman Choi Young Ho down in revenge...
Was seducing JH a part of FL's plan? We do not know. We see that JH kissed FL first, on 2 occasions....
HOWEVER, JH is a big gangster and he must have known FL is the daughter of the ppl killed...
So it is very possible that JH was pretending to love MJ and then used her as his pawn in his game to become the chairman.
Then the murder of Chairman and HS happened, and FL remembered that she was at the murder scene and saw HS burning in a raging house fire.
After being at the murder scene seeing HS die in fire, FL drove away'and was hit by a WTOD.
FL woke up from coma without ANY memories. She had nobody by her side except JH. At first he looks like a doting fiance, but later we learned that he bribed the hospital and essentially isolated FL and brainwashed her AND collaboartes with serious gngsters AND blackmails and threatens and bribes people... .
JH brought MJ to his house and lied to her about many things from the past.
JH told MJ that he killed HS.
Later we learn that he bribes doctors to NOT help MJ restore her memory...
So it is entirely possible that JH somehow used MJ to get rid of the Chairman and HS so that he can inherit faster
FL was leaving the house to go to a psychiatrist to recover her memories - the doc knows JH is a swindler and perhaps JH already removed that doc
FL somehow found her old phone and restored, and found a Detective to help her investigate... and they figured out a lot of stuff.... On her phone, she found Chauffer's and Adjushi's messages and called them - and then went to visit Adjushi in ep 4.
So FL left JH's house to go to psychiatrist on some days, and on other days, to roam around with the Detective - ... And JH saw that, got worried, and hired PurpleHead gangster woman to live in the house, monitor FL and prevent her from going out...
JH did not know that PurpleHair worked witih BaldHead to kidnap FL.. and that they will bring the Joseongjok thugs and SellingPeople gang to JH's house.
See below
==================================================================
PURPLE HEAD GANGSTER WOMAN has purple hair when we first meet her. She is some higher-level crime boss of unknown origins and the girlfirned and slave owner of small kine ganster BOLD HEAD.
JH paid PurpleHead to live in his house and to monitor and "jail" FL (PurpleHead died her hair black for that part). She got paid by JH at least $30K to monitor FL and never let her get out - yet she and BoldHead planned to kidnap FL and sell her - but BoldHead found someone else to sell her to and started working independently from PurpleHead
BOLD HEAD MALE GANGSTER - has a bar and his business is to sell people for money and to extort money. He pays bar and restaurant owners to drug customers, take fake pictures and blackmail them into paying huge amounts of money; or to drug customers and bring them to him so that he can sell them to another gang that ships them out. A "nice person" like FL cashes for about $200,000
Because BoldHead extorted money from some Joseaonjok people, their leaders started chasing BoldHead to recoup the money.
JOSEONJOK aka KOREAN CHINESE GANG consists of TWO thugs - the LongHair / moustache one and the Scrawny one - they take care of other Joseonjok people living locally... One group of them was a victim in a bar that works with Bold Head... and paid huge amounts of money... like $10K or so... So... LongHair and Scrawny are doing their own investigation and trying to recoup that money.
==========================================
KIDNAPPINGS OF FL AND BOLD HEAD AND ALL GANGS COLLIDING TIMELINE
===========================================
PurpleHead was hired by JH to monitor and "jail" FL but she secretly collaborated with BoldHead to kidnap and sell FL. So in ep 4, Purplehead intentionally let FL go out so that BoldHead can kidnap her, but FL somehow escaped the kidnapping. JH was livid and almost fired PurpleHead. but she promised to do better.
In ep 5, PurpleHead tried to "jail" FL per JH's orders, but FL overheard their call and realized JH is jailing her.. So FL decided to escape and jumped out of window and drove away to ... ? Driving after so long reminded her of going to Adjushi's house before coma and making the deal with Adjushi...so her memories of meeting Adjushi 2 yrs ago, right after he got out of prison, are in ep 6.
but BoldHead and kidnappers gang were following FL in a black van and kidnapped her after she got out of the car.... ..
but Joseonjok thugs were looking for Bald Head, and somehow found the kidnappers van, waited or them to come back (and they came back with drugged kidnapped FL). Then LongHair and Scrawny attacked them, kidnapped BoldHead and left the drugged out FL in the van. They had no idea who she was. THe only reason they left her there is bc Scrawny did not want to use her a slave for rape, she was not his type...
SO FL WOKE UP ALONE IN THE CAR at the start of ep 5 and went home.
JH had no idea that PurpleHair arranged all this and he yelled at her to monitor FL better.....
So in ep 5, Purple Hair tried to drug FL. but FL did not swallow the pills, overheard that Purple Hair and JH were jailing her, and escaped and DROVE AWAY. Ep 6 is about her memories fom the past. So at the end of ep 6, FL is in the car, driving away, where to?
======
Ep 6 continues Ep 5 current story about Joseonjok and Bold Head.
How did two Joseaonjok thugs find kidnapper's van (and indirectly saved FL) in ep 5?
They were looking to recoup the money that their fellow Joseonjok friends had to pay in a bar that that worked for BoldHead and drugged them, took fake photos, and blackmailed them... So they kidnapped the bar owner, and he took them to BoldHead's bar... and then bar owner, Long Hair and Scrawny started to follow Bold Head .... I forgot how they found BoldHead while he and the Kidnapper Gang were followng FL in a black van trying to kidnap FL .... ....
Joseonjok thugs saw the empty van... they waited for ppl to return (kidnappers succeeded and returned with drugged FL), then attacked them... (bar owner escaped successfully this time, I think)...
2 Joseonjok thugs chased away the kidnapping gang and kidnapped BoldHead... and tortured him... and he told them about PurpleHead located at JH's house. That led to Joseonjok thugs snooping on PurpleHead at JH house... ... the two Joseonjok and BoldHead went to JH/FL house .... and BoldHead escaped and beat up Scrawny ... and ... LongHair escaped.
When Joseonjok thugs LongHair and Scrawny attached the kidnappers' van, kidnapped BoldHead and killed/chased others, they left FL in the car instead of taking her as a slave for raping ...bc she was not Scrawny's type... ... !!!! so when FL woke up in that van all alone, she just walked away and went home to JH, who ordered PurpleHair to Jail FL - so FL escaped and drove away.
SO THAT IS THE CURRENT SITUATION - FL WENT OUT DESPITE PURPLE HEAD MONITORING HER - while PurpleHead was scheming with Bold Head to kidnap FL , THEN PURPLEHEAD WAS TASKED TO "JAIL" FL and FL LEARNED THAT JH ORDERED THAT, SO FL SECRETLY ESCAPED - SHE JUMPED OUT OF THE WINDOW, took a car and left .
FL WENT TO ....?
=======================================
WHERE EVERYONE IS AT THE END OF EP 6:
=======================================
FL is driving away in a white car, remembering her visiting Adjushi 2 years ago when he came out of prison.
PurpleHead is all alone in JH's house, panicking... JH still does not know that FL escaped? I think - and PurpleHead bought a Hong Kong passport and plans to leave - and LongHair thug saw that
Joseonjok thugs and their kidnapped victim Bold Head are around JH's house coming to get money from PurpleHead - but BoldHead escaped and beat up Scrawny... and LongHair ran away when police came.
(BoldHead was kidnapped by Joseonjok thugs and he told them to ask money from PurpleHead - and so Joseonjok ppl went to FL/JH house where PurpleHead is - )
JH bribed the doctor to quit treating FL so that she does not remember. JH also blackmailed ViceChairman of Mono so now JH got his company to separate from Mono i.e JH now has his own company... JH also bailed out of architecture competition so now the Chief Judge knows how big of a scammer JH is... I still dont quite understand what JH was trying to accomplish with that competition or with bailing out of it.
SO AT THIS POINT, ALL THUG'S PATHS ARE CONNECTED AND JOEONJOK ARE UNINTENTIONALLY STARTING TO STEP ON THE TOES OF JH, THE ULTIMATE GANG LEADER....
PURPLE HAIR WILL BE PUNISHED BY JH - but JOSEONJOK ARE ALSO AFTER HER - so she is pretty much isolated and done for unless she makes another deal with JH
BOLD HEAD BETRAYED PURPLE HEAD, MESSED UP KIDNAPPERS, LOST HIS BAR OWNER AND JOSEONJOK IS AFTER HIM - so BoldHead is pretty much done for... He has to lee Korea asap or he dies :)
FL cannot go back to JH's house unless she lies :) but ... will he let her.... and for how long... ?
so that's where we end
=============================
RECAP PER EPISODE
=============================
At the very end of ep 4:
Purple Hair and Bold Head are working together to kidnap and sell FL, so although Purple Girl is supposed to "jail" FL, she let her go out and Bold Head was following FL..
And FL left JH's house bc she found Wang Gi Chal's aka Adjushi phone number and called him and went to visit him.... and he told her she has to get her head straight on if she wants to revenge.. ... he also mentioned 2 yrs ago when he got out of prison and she tried to kill him (AND SHE WILL REMEMBER THAT IN EP 6.)
WE DO NOT REALLY KNOW WHAT ELSE HE TOLD HER
and on her way out, BoldHead and kidnapper gang kidnapped her.... but she was magically saved bc Joseonjok attacked the kidnapper gang and BaldHead, and captured Bold Head = and left FL alone in the car.. ...
EP 5: and then FL came back home and JH ordered PurpleGirl to drug FL and keep her at home for sure
So at this point, FL learns that JH is jailing her with PurpleGirl . and she escapes..
EP 6 ends with FL driving away from JH's house, she escaped "the jail" and she is remembering how she visited Adjushi 2 years ago and tried to kill him and they made a deal
WHERE IS FL GOING?
Joseonjok thugs and Bold Head go to JH's house to grab Purple Hair - Bold Head escapes, he and Scrawny fight, LongHair runs away
JH is telling the doctor to NOT help FL remember
and now she is out of coma and probably surgery and also, she is peaceful
This is a really good thriller so the script gives cues but never gives full answers all the way to the end... and NOTHING IS RANDOM!!! seemingly random ppl and events are already related or become related by the end of ep 6.....
Also, the scenes are not random!!! we see scenes from "present time" mixed up with scenes from FL's memory. You have to figure out what pieces are memory and "put it" into the time frame where it belongs.
So this thriller is really good, the script does have cues but it is not easy to crack, everything is up in the air and you have to watch carefully and take notes. For example... FL has 3 phones... :) There are several seemingly unrelated groups ..... And in ep 1-6 you get to meet them one by one "in their regular life" so that you know what they are like.... you see them doing shady and collaborating and cheating each other .... ALL THESE PEOPLE HAVE BUSINESS TOGETHER - AND THEY ALL INTERSECT BY THE END OF EP 6
This is a REAL LIFE THRILLER - groups of various criminals working together!!! it looks like omeone with real life experience has written the script.
==========================================================
The basic summary of characters and groups is at the very top of the RECAP, see the first spoiler. So read that to get the basic understanding that will help you get through the last 2 episodes.
The spoiler then has a detailed updated recap too, ifyou want to understand the details.
If you want even more detail, read the thread between me and mysteryqueen9. We figured out a lot of stuff, you can read the latest of our discussion to find out how far we got..
========================================================
BASIC SUMMARY OF CHARACTERS AND UPDATED RECAP IS POSTED IN THE VERY FIRST SPOILER BELOW
BUT JH being the gangster he was, he must have known FL's past. so ... FOR SURE he was seducing her back in some kind of calculation... And also, ... HS being the rich girl.. must have known FL's past too !!!!
And, FL became a real friend - all her memories after coma are about HS being a good friend and FL feeling sorry she betrayed her.
WHO SENT WTOD THAT CAUSED THE CAR ACCIDENT???
WE KNOW FOR SURE THIS HAPPENED BEFORE THE COMA:
=======================================================
Per Adjushi telling FL after coma: LJS *said* to Adjushi that Chairman paid Adjushi to take the fall - so we dont know if LJS lied to Adjushi or not OR if Adjushi lied to FL or not... or if Chairman truly paid but for someone else...
Per ExDetective's report to FL before coma and then after coma: LJS was Chairman's chauffer and then quit his job and became a rich looking professional thug
For sure, FL approached HS to pretend to be her friend so that she could do the revenge. and Adjushi was supposedly helping her in that revenge, as shown in ep 6 -
WHAT WE KNOW HAPPENED AFTER COMA:
====================================
Per reports of ExDecetive, FL testimony and content of LJS's phone: LJS was blackmailing HS, she gave him $300K and he came back for more, and HS knew that JH and FL cheated
AH THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THE PHONES!!! this is why it helps to do this together
I totally forgot that FL read stuff of copy of LJS's phone... Indeed!!!! And it had messages between LJS and WGC: ""using them only to get to Chairman". "you are alive only for my revenge"... " HS is coming back and you can meet her at the gallery"
Ep 4 min 23 messages on copied LJS's phone between LJS and Adjushi make it look like Adjushi was threatening to kill LJS and forcing lJS to assist in ADJUSHI'S REVENGE against Chairman .... and ADJUSHI WAS GOING TO MEET HS.....
For sure, FL was befriending HS and possibly seducing JH to track down the Chairman,
For sure, Adjushi was working with LJS to track HS and track down Chairman.
For sure, LJS was blackmailing HS and got $300K and came for more and was trying to get to Chairman
So - who was working with whom and on what??? FL and Adjushi made a deal that he will cooperate in her revenge... So seems like Adjushi was helping her at least to some degree - but did Adjushi help LJS blackmail HS? How come FL had to ask for a report on LJS?
====
As for the phones: How many does FL have? 3
#3. The blank one ExDetective gave her, with LSJ copied onto it. That one is 100% black and has no enforced edges.
#2. Her own new blank phone that JH gave her. That one has thick aluminum gray edges and aluminum gray back, so it is obvious when she uses it, it looks light.
#1, Her own old pre-coma phone that restaurant lady gave her and she restored. That one has thin dark gray edge. See ep 2 min 33 just for a second as that phone lies on some surface as lady is giving it
THe phone that she uses to make calls to exDetective in ep 4 min 23 seems to have a gray edge. From the light, it might even be the brand new phone... ???
In ep 4 min 23, we see that she looked up some phone, then is using her old phone and looking at LJS phone to say stuff.
Then we see her meddling again through her bag.
BASED ON THE LOOK OF THE PHONE SHE IS READING, INDEED IT IS THE COPY OF LJS's PHONE, it has black edges
Ep 4 min 23 is when she pulls 100% black phone and the subtitles say read message with Wang Gi Cheol, saying "using them only to get to Chairman" and "you are alive only for my revenge"... Why would LSJ and Adjushi talk about that? It really sounds like FL and Adjushi.. BUT IT IS COPY OF LJS's PHONE!!!!!
Then again FL reads from copy of LJS's phone: " HS is coming back and you can meet her at the gallery"
But what FL *says* to ExDetective is diferent than what she was reading off the phone - amd I think she was reading copy of LJS's.... she tells ExDetctive that LJS phone has messages between LJS and Adjushi about FL and money and how they need to get to Chairman.
We never saw such messages ON the phone that she just pulled from her bag and read. What she reads on the phone is diferent that she tells ExDetective.
And there is scene aroudn that time where FL remembrs LSJ after the auto accident tlling her that she killed 2 people in revenge and that's enough.
And the neighbors tell FL that JH killed the chairman and is a scary man and that FL did not live near or in JH's house back then.
That Chairman died in his sleep from explosion.
So - someone stabbed HS and then someone set the fire
LJS talking about using "them" (HS and JH?) to get to Chairman - what is that about?
Who said "you are only alive bc of my revenge" - was Adjushi threatening LJS?
so that new info
ADJUSHI WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING FL's REVENGE - so why would Adjushi help LJS extort HS and FL did not know that... ???
WERE ADJUSHI AND LJS TOGETHER BLACKMAILING OR DOING SOMETHING TO THE CHAIRMAN AND HS... ? WAS ADJUSHI HELPING FL... BUT THEN ... WHY WOULD FL BE INVESTIGATING LJS FOR BLACKMAILING AND EXTORTING HS?? WOULDN"T FL KNOW WHAT ADJUSHI WAS DOING IF THEY WERE THE SAME TEAM?? OR ... ??
^^^ Why would be LJS trying to reach the Chairman when he already supposedly was his Chauffer and was a go-between to bribe Adjushi to take the fall?
So the answer is - something was shady - LJS quit his job
LJS got $300,000 from HS
and seems like he came back to extort more from Chairman and HS - and seems like Adjushi was on it with LJS to at least some degree - was Adjushi using LJS and LJS was using the chance to extort HS? <<<<<<<
Adjushi somehow got bag of money after coma... So that bag of money came from whom??? for what?
and then "I approached JH, fiance of HS... Chairman is financing JH's company Mono.... I am using HS and JH to track Chairman.. nobody noticed me" THIS SOUNDS LIKE FL COLLABORATING IN REVENGE WIth ADJUSHI, PER THEIR DEAL 2 YRS AGO
wow so she "invited" JH to seduce her
and was it the issue that she kept asking HS to make her meet Chairman and HS kept denying? FL never met the chairman
FL was hanging out at HS-JH house
so yeah FL tracking JH back then - sp she tracked him to the house where chairman was
==========
OR
It can be LSJ talking about something else with Adjushi
BUT THEN why would they talk about that???? LSJand Adjushi had no reason to talk about tracking Chairman, approaching JH, etc...
the text messages sound more like FL and Adjushi
Wait - the messages said he/she befriended JH so that he can find where Chairman is???? - WAS THAT HER MESSAGE TO ADJUSHI???? which explains why she seduced JH / let JH seduce her.
Did Ri A steal FL's phone after kidnapping then?
PPL HAVE THE RIGHT TO STATE THEIR OPINION AFTER EVEN A FEW MINUTES OF EP 1. YOU KNOW WHEN THE DRAMA IS NOT IT.
AND YOU ARE FREE TO BAIL OUT AT ANY TIME SAYING YOU DIDNT LIKE THIS OR THAT.
AND IF YOU CHOSE TO STAY AND HOPE IT GETS BETTER, THAT IS YOUR CHOICE TOO.
AND, WINNING A "MEDAL" TODAY DOES NOT MEAN YOU AUTOMATICALLY STAY HIGH QUALITY
SO ANYONE TRYING TO SHUT UP VOICING ANY OPINIONS IS JUST A CENSORING NAZI SNOB
And you continue with this attitude.
So - stop bothering me. NEVER EVER write to me again. FAREWELL
THERE IS NOTHING RANDOM IN THIS DRAMA.
all those groups of people are shown living their life but eventually they all interact and are critical parts of this story
****If you dont understand the plot, read my recap and also the summary I just posted****. The plot seems tricky bc her memories and curent time are all mixed up so you have to figure out what is memory and what is current time, and then put the memory into the time frame where it belongs.
I remember that ML gave a brand new phone to FL, then she complained then i think ML gave her the old phone and said it is cracked from the accident,,,,, and she repaired it.
But you are saying the phone was already in the show frpm before the accident??
so she took it to the shop and repaired it and got LSJ and Adjushi's messages on it and called them.
I remember the thief - that Ri A spy who stole the phone that she sent in a box to JH?
Or did she steal it just bc FL left it in the house when she rushed out? I dont remember that part.
IN ANY CASE: the phone in the box was sent by Ri A to JH and it is FL's old phone? Yes the messages indicate so. Adjushi was saying 'they are smarter than you and me".
Ep 5 around min 30 has 2 detectives coming to talk to JH, then FL googles her meds, and then ExDetective goes out to chase LSJ in the hospital and he says:
" I am sure there is something much bigger than murder o HS behind this, bc LSJ ralied Adjushi and BLACKMAILED CHAIRMAN, JH AND FL."
Sp... why was the ExDetective thinking that? I can see why LSJ would be blackmailing Chairmain and JH, they got money.... but LSJ blackmailing FL... ??? how? why? when?
LSJ came to convince Adjushi to frame himself. LSJ told Adjushi Chairman sent him - but ...
**I suspect there is some nasty game there***
if Chairman is the murderer, there is no way LSJ would tell that. If Chairman is NOT the murderer but is just paying for someone, ... I still doubt LSJ would disclose it. So somehow i think LSJ made Adjushi hate the Chairman and somehow caused trouble to Chairman that LSJ could cash on. LSJ is a super slimey liar...
Well at least seems like we milked out as much as we could and now we just wait for the next ep to get the next piece of the puzzle :)
DO WE KNOW WHERE FL DROVE TO AT THE END O EP 6?
BoldHead escaped from Joseonjok 2 boss thugs, and Scrawny Thug and BH were fighting, police car was soundng, and LongHairThug ran away.
That was near JH's house, FL just escaped and drove away, and Purple Hair was alone in the house, with a HongKong passport and ready to leave.... JH did not know that FL escaped. he was busy telling the doctor to NOT help restore FL's memories.
So that is the situation at the end of ep 6?
Ok then it is FL's phone that Ri A sent to JH? ... I dont remember that FL was missing her phone... ? when was that? But I do remember that in that scene JH isays to himself - ah so FL is investigating!!!! and he gets worried and tells PurpleHair to watch FL more closely....
Detective scene is right after the police-JH scene and then FL checking her meds scene in ep 5 around min 35
LSJ came to Adjushi and said - CHAIRMAN said you should turn yourself in. But we dont know if he lied. He could have gotten the money from someone else. His motive... ???? always money...
Detective was saying LSJ riled Adjushi and then blackmailed CHAIRMAIN, JH and ML.
But we saw LSJ blackmailed HS. Well - HS is rich and has a certain status to keep so ... her shacking up in common law marriage with JH and being cheated on by her best friends would kill her social status and the stock of the company, plus her relationship with her father, and who knows what else...
and yeah it is possible HS was afraid Chairman will hurt JH and FL..
and yeah it i possible that FL's parents didnt sell the land etc =
ARE CHAIRMAN OR JH INTO REDEVELOPMENT BUSINESS??? that's very possible
Is JH strictly arhitecture only or totol-construction biz owner? bc someone called him "constructon tycoon"
THE DEMOLITION BUSINESS IS NOT IN HERE BY RANDOM - adjush hired that thug ... and demolition thugs work for whom?
JH? Chairmain's company?
Yes the key question is:
"WHAT he wants to keep from FL SO MUCH that he has 0 problem with telling her "I killed Hee Su" while at the same time pulling all the strings to avoid FL knowing the hidden truth. "
He was so emotional while he was saying he killed HS. When did he say that?
He was so emotional and I had a feeling he was lying big time. But so emotional... why? I had feling he was lying big time and also there WAS something true behind it - you know the kind of lie: I AM GOING TO DIE FROM CANCER RIGHT NOW AND I NEED YOU TO GIVE ME MONEY - but in reality he went gambling and lost and is feeling the pressure - that kind of emotional ly fueled lie
I still feel Dumb Mi takes too much time with the DUMB part
Maybe there is even some guy who was waiting but she was taken
but isnt :) They are just very similar.
Watch the movie it is really fun.
Augh there are no names on MDL and Wikipedoa so ... that Ri A person is definitely am ally of JH
and yes I think it is LSJ's phone.
he was in the hospital
the Ex Detective said there is something a LOT bigger than HS murder behind this.
And it is related to FL's parents murder. What did they see or whatever - what was going on - so that Chairman had to kill them.. but WAS IT CHAIRMAN THOUGH?
Bc it is entirely possible that LSJ killed FL's parents and then faked it that Chairman sent him, etc.
The phone and detective say that LSH manipulated Adjushi and blackmailed Chairman, JH and FL
we dont know how yet
when SR confronts her, the only thing JM can say is "It is a misunderstanding." OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND SAY - JH WAS HARASSING ME
Just like LawyerMom says it all in once sentence, no time wasted
the plot is too cheesy now bc certain things still do not "match" and are out of place
