Hubs & wife (ML & FL) are in an arranged marriage uniting two chaebol families. Wife wasn't supposed to be the…
She can't afford to break the contract since she has to pay ₩2BN if she wants a divorce. The ML's callous behaviour during the kidnapper's negotiation call was her last straw. The kidnapper's encrypted phone seemed like the perfect way to get what she wants anonymously (she's that desperate).
She's basically trying to force the ML to divorce her by using his high profile family's reputation as a bargaining chip.
(What the FL doesn't know is that the reason why the ML was so cruel during the call was because he honestly believed it was a scam since the FL's mum lied to him that the FL was with her at the time of the kidnapping).
Was it the fact that Hong Hee Joo was actually kidnapped or was it the realisation that she was willing to hide…
It's a combination of the kidnapping and the 406 calls.
Their main issue was lack of communication. Since Heeju was desperate to get her divorce, she didn't sugar coat her situation. The more Sa Eon understood Heeju's concerns, the more he fought back for her even unconsciously (up until that point he was under the impression that for a loveless marriage, they were in good terms even if there was no love).
The trauma behind knowing that he nearly lost Heeju I guess killed whatever remaining resolve he had to keep her at a distance for his plan's sake.
Heeju in turn got to see a different side of Sa Eon through the calls since in his classic blunt way, Sa Eon never hid his true feeling to 406 ironically.
(The "Couple's day" test in the interview pretty much sums up their predicament - they play mind games instead of communicating their concerns directly)
I don't understand who was park do jae's brother and when did that kidnaper killed him ?.. please someone explain…
PDJ and his brother used to live in the same orphanage as Sang Woo (SML) when they were kids.
PDJ's brother is one of the murdered victims. The murderer is the real Sa Eon (Kidnapper) when they were kids. He is a sociopath who leans towards killing anything and anyone.
Our Sa Eon has no connection to the orphanage or the murders. The only reason he gets dragged into this mess is because of the switched identities and the fact that real SE blames our SE for not trying to help him when his grandfather tried to drown him.
Listened to The Fray after a long time and the following lyrics reminded me of a certain couple we all love- is it just me? 🥲
"Look After You by The Fray"
🎵If I don't say this now, I will surely break, As I'm leaving the one I wanna take, Forgive the urgency, but hurry up and wait, My heart has started to separate
*** There now, steady love, so few come and don't go, Will you, won't you be the one I'll always know? When I'm losing my control, the city spins around, You're the only one who knows, you slow it down
Guys, I have a question, cause I guess I missed it - how did Sang U get the fisherman's info?
They didn't disclose if I'm not mistaken but he has been searching for the fisherman since the fisherman's new name is registered as the owner of the Villa...he probably found a lead on this that led to the 🐠store
I don't get one thing. I've always thought that main mother-b!tch is ML's real mother (even if his real father…
In a way, our Sa Eon is like her son since she did help a lot to "create" his persona but none of it really matters since at the end of the day, psycho or not, the kidnapper is her true son- the son she abandoned in fact.
Since she hates the grandfather for forcing her to let go of her son, it's possible that she resents our SE for being good at everything. I mean he's a constant reminder that she failed her son🙈
The dad lives in his own world so isn't worth wasting breath over- even the mum is done with him 🤭
I have a couple of questions: 🤔1. Who was responsible for the two arsons that kidnapper said wasn't his doing?…
PDJ wasn't involved in any of the fires. It was the arsonist (not related to the kidnapper) who claimed that he was not involved with the office explosion and the other arson. These were carried out by the kidnapper.
(This is the reason why the Master (i.e. PDJ) texted the kidnapper to stop working alone- the fires were never part of the plan)
anyone know where to read the webtoon? and if there is any differences with the og story ?
The Manwha is called "Tomorrow's # 1 Star"
You can read it on Tapas (link below).
The drama diverges from the webtoon since in the webtoon SunJae didn't know her from the beginning nor did they have the taxi driver's arc as far as I recall 😊
ok, but they didn't explain yet how the hell that psycho escaped in the first time
The kidnapper managed to stand right next to Sa Eon dressed exactly like in the cctv footage without getting noticed (even by his fishy stench). He's probably sneaky enough to take advantage of the comotion made by the Tow truck to escape since he was only knocked out by the accident- not really injured? 🙊
Ok..finally watched it... just finished ep7...Questions,1. If HJ knows SE so much (during her job interview) how…
Finally!!! 🎉 1. Heeju has severe self esteem issues thanks to her mum's abuse. The idea that Sa Eon could like or even care about her never occured to her eventhough there was ample proof that despite his cold demeanor, he always was there for her. (You'll get a better idea on this once you watch ep 8)
The fact that SE kept telling her that the marriage isn't real didn't really help her either.
2. Haha IKR?! I kept waiting for the kidnapper to catch Heeju by surprise🙈. The most likely reason is because Sa Eon still has his secret security shadowing her (in ep 2 HJ agreed to have bodyguards but asked him to not to make it obvious😉).

They added it months after the show ended though so the drama didn't really get to enjoy NF's platform's boost as much as it could have.

It's impressive that the actress (KHY) managed to win so many awards for her role as Sol so I guess she must have done something right eh? 😉
I didn't know that "A Shop For Killers" is a time travel drama till you did the comparison- is the time slip arc managed neatly in it?

They also have a web novel under the same name- just google it :)
It is a slow burn but if you check out their actions from ep 1 onwards, you'll notice subtle clues.
