It's the music/band thing maybe?

When they got in that elevator this was the music playing in my head 🎶Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you? We got some work to do now🎶

I like that we get the whole Scooby Crew tbh. I think only focusing on Hae In and Hyun Woo has the potential to bog down the story or overwhelm it. If it was a shorter drama with less time per episode sure, focus more on the MLs, but as far as side stories go, this is one of the only dramas doing them well.

Saved her from drowning
Ran into her on her last day and his first day at the same high school
Worked in the same department in a huge conglomerate
Doesn't the saying go that if two strangers meet 3 times that it's fate?

Because of Geun Woo's age and the fact that they "met" after Hae In and Hyun Woo's wedding, I have some theories.
She was most likely already involved with the financial guy at Queens Group prior to HI&HW's marriage. He might have even been the one to give her up to Grace to use in matchmaking Soo Cheol. A "I'll be married to him for 'x' amount of years and receive 'x' amount of money in a divorce settlement" type of scam. So the pregnancy might have happened prior to marriage as a way to "trap" Soo Cheol. We never got a solid timeline on their dating to marriage to Geun Woo and what order they came in.

Given the fact she's being honest with him about how their relationship started with her wanting to mooch off of a rich man, but that the way he acted towards her over time softened her it's a good start. I would like Soo Cheol to have more of a backbone though. Man is made up of spaghetti noodles at this point, he either breaks or goes limp.

Since she's always had to look out for herself she didn't realize until she left him that she had actually felt loved, and felt love for him. She's never been loved before him.
They both need some major therapy and some marriage counseling. Honestly all of the Hong family members need that.

Mo Seul Hee was very good at hiding. It wasn't until after she dropped her mask that he even knew anything was wrong. Grandpa was easily manipulated, but he is a dragon who likes to hoard things in his cave. He was cutthroat in business, but with love....he thought because they both came from similar backgrounds that she could understand him better than his children who were raised in wealth. He didn't realize how covetous she was of his wealth and power.
I'm starting think that his wife was actually killed by Mo Seul Hee. Whether she slighted Eun Seong while on a visit or some other "crime" according to MSH...I think her body count is at least 5 people at this point.

The one time I'm like "She can fix him."
referring to MCH and YZM

My mom swears by 'Go Go Squid!' with Yang Zi as the lead role. She loves the chemistry between the lead characters and will go back and rewatch it pretty regularly.
'Falling into Your Smile' for Xu Kai was also recommended.
Both shows follow gaming teams. One is like a capture the flag hacking gaming and the other is a fantasy battle game. (I'm not super into gaming so there were parts of theses shows that very much went over my head, but if that's your cuppa I would check them out)

Yao Zhi Ming forever passed out on hotel carts...🤣🤣🤣💀

This makes sense about XJL's apartment. Thank you.
I'm still not 100% if they were talking about a daughter in her belly or a living breathing child that she is actively pawning off to a nanny. But I somehow forgot that her husband would never really be home as he runs a firm. And if she's in her third trimester it would make sense to closer to family.
That whole family sure does throw a lot of stones though for living in a glass house. Karma sure comes quickly.

So anyone else find it odd that the sister is ALWAYS at her parent's house. Is she not married? Wouldn't she have her own household? She was so against her brother having a love match because she had to marry for power, so it's not like her and her husband are living with her parents. If anything she should be living with her in-laws. So why is she always with her mother? I feel like him missing something.
Also why is the Ex always at his parent's place when he has his own apartment? I understand having dinner with family, but they are live living there with no indication that they even go to their own places anymore. I can't help but think about all the food rotting away in his apartment cause he's never there.

I want to send a cackling gif...I knew you'd crack. 🤣🤣💀

I think it would be interesting to see the breakdown of communication & how that can affect a friendship that also has a business side to it. As he is the frontman & vocalist of the group him wanting to do other things & then ultimately stop altogether would affect them more than if they were all centered. (this is me going based off the parts of the concert we saw. Maybe they are all vocalists, but we've seen in real life the struggle that the bands have when members leave. More so with already smaller(in remember #) groups than the larger groups.

Delightful Girl Choon Hyang is an OST I constantly go back to. Soild OST.

from a still/preview I saw, I'm going to go with yes he did.

Well, in almost every scene one of them is running. The original title is more like her screen name. Kind of like "get on my back & I'll carry you"
They are always running after the other. They both want to carry the other's burdens as well.

Because the family didn't really trust her. They needed to have someone unassuming listening in to private conversations that she wasn't a part of. They also needed to be able to influence Soo Cheol's decision making. They wouldn't have been able to go straight for the Grandfather, but through other family members. It weakens their over all hold on the company.
We still don't know all the details as to why the eldest son was ousted from the family too.

That's what I think. Either that or Da Hye THINKS he is the father. I said it in another comment, but if she even so much as thought that someone else was the father of Geon Woo, she would have needed to fake the DNA results. So she might have never double checked with real samples later on.

I think it's an ex-partner in crime & possibly an ex-lover. If she was already a conman prior to teaming up with Grace & Eun Seong & the rest she might have had more going on prior to becoming the bait for Soo Cheol.
Eun Seong was supposed to be the "in" in the family, but failed in college when Hae In didnt show interest in continuing a relationship. She's actually one of the best at reading the true character of the people around her. So the mother then tried to get married to the Chairman, but his daughter interfered. So finally, after being completely cut off from Hae In after she married Hyun Woo, they sent in Da Hye to seduce Soo Cheol.
But because Soo Cheol holds no true power it took their plans longer to take effect.

I love a rom-com, but what I love more is when a mystery is thrown in so that one can speculate how things are going to pan out. We have the unknown with her illness, but we also have what's going on with her Grandfather, and with her younger brother.
It adds more to the story, and the writers have done a good job balancing all the different elements, so as to not detracted from the main love story of Hae In and Hyun Woo.
