From the beginning, Hyo Shim has had major daddy issues stemming from his abandonment of the entire family. The brothers tried to be the father figure to each other, but she had to play both roles for her mother, as well as the bread-winner.

Nam Kyung Eup (the actor who will portray her father) just completed his current project (the daily "Elegant Empire"). I don't know how far in advance the daily dramas film their episodes, but LYOL is about 2 weeks ahead.

I'm glad writer isn't writing a Cinderella-saved-by-the-prince (white knight, whatever) story.

Well, perhaps I am pre-disposed to think this way and perhaps "plead" is a better word, but the written preview is interesting. However, the written preview doesn't begin to match the teaser video, so who knows.

And why should she be pissed at TM??? Does she think that TM did something wrong? Does she think that TM should automatically come to the rescue of his cousin who has declared war? Pfffftttt.

Meanwhile, I'm thrilled that Tae Hee finally connects with her big brother. :-)

Ahhh. . . I learned something new. I thought Kocowa was only available in the Americas? Or, perhaps it's just Kocowa+??

I did a free trial of Kocowa last summer - primarily because it has many old dramas from the pre-streaming days. Then discovered it also has current dramas from the three broadcast stations. So, I've kept the subscription - trying to decide if I keep Viki as well. 🥰

haha, haven't read the manwha, but her love of food was too obvious to not point in that direction.

In order to watch Kocowa, you would still need to subscribe with a payment method. Viki is usually 12 hours later than Kocowa.

He called the finance guy to confirm - is he supposed to mis-trust everyone EXCEPT Tae Ho?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They were late today - but that meant I could re-watch the critical scenes twice w/out subs.

I've always figured that Hyo Shim would beg TM to help and Tae Min would once again ride to her rescue (in this case, TH). But haven't watched today w/subs, so might be wrong.

I don't believe he has the evidence yet?? Director Park supposedly has it?

I stopped watching along about Episode 6 - mainly because of holiday weekends but realized recently that I never returned. Saw that it was still on my "currently watching" list and decided to check out comments/reviews before taking another look.

Thank you for your articulate analysis because it helps me understand why I never returned - the repetitive and/or slow motion scenes and two beautiful people do not create a unique story. There was simply nothing unique about this romance.

Are you still missing subs? Yes, they slept together and she told him it was no big deal - rather a rotten thing to say when she was the one who pounced. He was hurt. I understand that on a weekender, sex is off-screen. But also, my take is that there is no point in writing a story where a couple HAS off-screen sex unless there are going to be future consequences.

Methinks Mi-rim will be pregnant.😍

The whole point of chaebol companies is that the founding family does indeed have enormous control, even if publicly traded, because they own large majority of the stock in the parent company and likely 100% of many of their subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are not publicly traded - and therefor quite easy to sell off to raise cash. So, that part of the story is finally beginning to make sense.

Great point. Stomach cancer is treatable if caught early enough.

lol, I sped through the raw and now that subs are up, I don't have the heart to watch. Maybe later today. 🙁

An epilogue would be nice - but they need to start moving out of the studio so that the next weekender can begin to film. TRHC was way behind and still filming 4-5 days before the last weekend air date, but much of it was on location (restaurants, airport, wedding, etc). The "in-studio" scenes were bare-bones (family photo scene, etc) and many of the bedrooms, apartments, etc were unused (probably dismantled) for at least 2 weeks before that.

And if they want the highest ratings - they need to go for the wedding, right?

Another possibility is a stand-alone filler "episode" where the main actors summarize the various stories thus far and give teasers about the future episodes. They did this with Alchemy of Souls (Part 1) (an entire weekend delay) because they were still doing the CGI work.

Oh well, as I said - this is pure speculation by someone on Namu Wiki which gets some of its gossip/rumors from netizens.

A good weekend drama has a variety of stories and characters. I also like Hyo Jun and Mi-rim. 😊

Latest speculation (and I do mean SPECULATION) from Namu Wiki is that a 51st episode will be added so that the drama ends on a Sunday. I have no idea if this is even remotely possible, but it would make sense since Sunday episodes are always higher rated than Saturday.

Well, sorta but kinda not really exactly correct. The "video" is the planned TVLive investigation report, NOT the "footage from the accident" because THAT is in the hands of Director Park or grandmama. However, combined with the facts described by the former detective, the evidence would look damning for TM's father - who at this point is obviously (to me) not the real culprit.

Based on ig photos, I think one or both TM/SK might be headed to Daegwallyeong Pass this weekend.😊😊😊

Background:
TVLive was preparing an “investigative” report regarding the accident at Daegwallyeong Pass. It never aired publicly but TVLive still has the video. It’s likely that it mentions that on the night of the accident, TM’s father left the house and his whereabouts were unknown (this is based on earlier conversation between TM and the reporter).

TM proposed marriage to Su-kyung, knowing that if she agreed, TVLive would not air the investigation reports. Furthermore, TM believes Su-kyung only cares being the wife of a conglomerate (chaebol) owner.

Tae Ho attempted to bribe the TVLive reporter to hand over the video. BOOM.

THEREFORE, Tae Min wants the video destroyed because it may include information regarding his father. Tae Min’s Proposed Deal:
1. TVLive must destroy the video and never speaks of or look into the Daegwallyeong Pass accident again. In exchange. . .
2. TM and Su-kyung will continue to be married as a Chaebol couple (but there will be no children and she should “find another man”) AND TM will “give” Taesan Cosmetics and Taesan Hotels to TVLive.

Su-kyung says NO DEAL because becoming the wife of a chaebol owner was never her goal and now she realizes the Daegwallyeong Pass investigation is the reason he proposed marriage in the first place.

You're welcome. 😊😊😊
