not really.. that is the only way he could ensure safety of the child and the mother..

we have the scene where he is asking hana who she is...so goes to say he was aware about all these shenanigans ..

oh ok.. thanks for clarifying.. that solves it

Main poster really highlights the korean american guy but his role is so minimal and sidelined for now..

should we read into it?

and husband knew..

because clearly husband knew mistress was a spy and mommy is another angle altogether.. so he cared for her knowing its his child

so, polaris = star= in the drama = signifies what JJ is for KDW

why was this renamed to tempest

i guess if there is no other twist regarding main couple, then this drama really is a romance drama set in a turbulent political, geo political situation

although i am with you because my initial understanding was the same that recording came from the necklace but maths ain't mathing

but that is what is confusing.. if it came from the necklace bug then FL released the clip and that won't make sense... Chang Hee doesn't have knowledge or password of the necklace bug.. his thing is on FL's phone

No.. that hides the whole thing.. you have a warning and that's good enough..

I think people are confused about the recording - SPOILER BELOW, don't read if u don't want to clear it up

This is what happened


1. MIL was spying on MJ via her phone on which her secy had installed spy app. MIL released the sex audio

2. MJ/FL had bugged the cross and gave it back to ML in one of the earlier episodes

3. ML had aligned with his agency to initially bug FL- but ONLY ONE bug was allowed.


In ep 6/7 - FL was listening in on the whole conversation that ML had with his agency and government guys via the necklace and she ran away into the woods later. When her secretary told her about spy app on her phone that is when she realized that MIL had leaked the audio

There is one doubt i will raise in my theory

What i find IMMENSELY INTERESTING IS the choice of FL being a character who was with the other party before and married a man belonging to the other party.

Her and her husband's political perspective is also very different!

I am fairly sure that my theory is right, but i still want to wait out on FL's play!.... it will be a waste for her character setup ...and the minglings she comes with

Yes. But, this isn't just about current government. It is about political party never wanting S-N korea to resolve unification issue so that they can keep milking it as election agenda. Remember Junik's party hasn't come to power in long time..

this is basically conservative vs democrats in US. How biden's, obama's, etc government have always focussed on certain things vs dems

1. Two key things required to win this election - destroy opposition (either the philosophy o fthe party or the candidate) AND sway population opinion on unification in favour of your own party's philosophy

2. What happened - a) opposition candidate Junik is eliminated b) his strongest replacement will also be eliminated, FL c) in both cases setup is to portray them as NK spies d) Junik is eliminated while CHANGING and MOVING AWAY from his party's anti unification agenda = candidates and philosophy totally destroyed

Who benefitted? - USA comes out looking like warmonger, China not improving its image in the world as unreliable, NK coming out as pompous beating its own trumpet. Anti unification sentiments died down.

3. Stella young was very LOUD about buying submarine components and evidence too easily given to both US and that korean-american guy. NK n China have to be exceptionally stupid to do this.... MIL is stella young, that i had guessed early on... but she has this shipping business.. and she is not a NK spy...

I will put my money on Stella Young being forced into this ploy by SOuth Korean Powers.


4. President understands MJ/FL very well and how she thinks.. which is what was utilized is drawing out the ploy. The evidence to US and the evidence to korean american guy are from the same party because objective in both is false evidence based on pre-planned action of manufacturing TWO SUBMARINES - that can be videographed for two different set of EVIDENCES






Our president, her beauracrat team , her party - this is out an out ELECTION PLOTTING and DOUBLE CROSSING to make sure one wins election

Here, my theory and overall i think this entire script is basically a Internal South Korean Power Conflict ONLY. All other countries , agencies were just a red herring.

Presidential elections were coming up. Junik was extremely popular. Young South Korea was moving away from Korea unification as an election agenda which did not leave the other party with much options (because outside of that - inflation, corruption, unemployment, security.. etc would always be anti incumbent issue)

So, WHAT DO YOU DO TO WIN THE ELECTION - details below:

1.This will come down to South Korea's internal politics about power grab and not an international issue

2. South Korean politics in this drama hinges on ONE OPINION - party for peaceful union of two koreas Vs party anti reunion/atleast not deluded by peaceful part. Junik comes from later school of thought and was very popular, meaning South Korean public is pro anti reunion/ or no more hinged on uniting two koreas whereas the president comes from the other school of thought

3. Female president's agenda would be to hold onto the power - whatever this means in terms of appeasing the public. Or, if real power is with the bureaucrats then ruling party must be that who will follow what these bureaucrats want (e.g. NIS, blue house folks.. the specy guy with president)

4. Stella Young is PUBLICIZED as North Korean Spy - is she one, we don't know? Stella young starts procuring submarine pieces VERY PUBLICALLY SO THAT IT GETS CAPTURED in international world and fear of North Korea-China ally and a nuclear submarine catches fire which is BOUND to rattle USA. ---- Would north korea or china ever jeopardize that? NO. However, someone who wants to maintain the conflict between North and South and at the same time create the fear of nuclear war and hence a reason to NOT GO FOR WAR... would greatly benefit from what stella young is doing


5. Nuclear submarine rumour is floated with some credible evidence that riles USA. Another video is sent to only korean american guy stating submarine is false. He pursues it trying to get US to back off. SOMEONE MADE TWO PROTOTYPES of submarines. This hints that same party released both videos. Result of this korean amercan guy meddling is that Junik changes his stance to NO WAR- which is what the other party originally supports and gets killed . Political opponent destroyed. Someone would ofcourse replace Junik.. and setup is completed with the most strong candidate (because if strongest candidate falls then no other replacement can thwart the other party)

6. Same MIL is spying on FL despite nominating her for the political run. WHY? Because she wants FL to fail.


I am going to bet my money overall on South Korean politics - president and her party or officers who don't want North-south to ever unite. Junik was getting popular, was a favourite to win, young Korea was swaying away from political agenda of korea unification... and the other party - made up of old people- and with primary vision depending on unification as their election talking point... NEEDED AN OUT

100%.. the fact that ep 7 again stressed on MJ thinking about why she can't let go of her child and that man... that kid is 100% MJ's

it has been so long since i saw this explosive romantic chemistry between leads in a kdrama.. last was probably blood....

dude i was so fucking right.... i said after Week 1 that there are two sets of spys - north AND SOUTH


AND about the mastermind/ access to oceans and buz was def. required

geopolitical nincompoops are the only one who would think America can be hailed in ANY / EVEN ONE SITUATION regarding the chaos in the world since last century

THEY LITERALLY STAGE REGIME CHANGES, their economy thrives on maintaining chaos and conflict in regions so that it can play the big guy role..

I LOVE THE DRAMA given it is Disney and yet is not shying away from showing America's deeds that are lately the talk of the town and people's eyes are opening up to what USA does via its CIA and other govt arms

There is a reason why every rich man and beauracrats and any family that matters, their kids pursued their education in US or stay in the US

dude.. i googled him and saw angelbaby died.. when did she die?. what even happened

??? Who is he? and why did he die? suicide? what has govt got to do with it?
