Ahhhhh...That actually makes a lot of sense! I had assumed that the real Hye Ri disappeared quite recently as an adult and that was the trigger for the second personality. I assume she wasn't disassociating when she was with Hyeon Oh- he would have have figured something was going on in 8 years. So it's actually the break up that's the trigger. Or since we don't know how long ago they broke up, something else may have happened more recently.

But Hye Ri being much younger explains the very weird romance with Ju Yeon. Its the one plot that makes me feel uncomfy but I couldn't say why. But its because its literally your textbook romance plot that was created in the imagination of a teenage girl who read too many romance novels!!! The whole "he's not nice to anyone except the one he's in love with" and she actually alludes to reading things in webnovels- that's her source material. Yikes- poor Ju Yeon if the brother trauma wasn't bad enough, finding out about this is going to shake him just as he decided to live life. But then again, he willingly decided to get closer to the strange woman who basically forced herself on him. So who knows

Yes, thats my read on it too. I think the real Eun Ho personality-wise might be somewhat between the current Eun Ho and Hye Ri but whatever happened changed Eun Ho and the Hye Ri personality is compensating for that.

She's Ji On's sister. (The other guy who has a crush on her). So I guess it could make sense why she feels some kind of way about Eun Ho but dunno why she's talking to ML about it

The synopsis made this sound a lot more straight forward than what we got in the first episode. This can be really good or it can go horribly wrong.

I agree. But also (and this may be giving too much credit to the writing) does this show how broken So Jin is? Because the reasons she gave for considering Gang Hoon are so flimsy. Those things are the bare minimum you'd expect from an old friend- it doesn't mean you have to date them all.

So no, they're not officially dating, lol. And a lot of my assumptions are based on the promo for E13. So it may happen differently.

But basically at the end of E12 she has a bit of realisation that omg I ignored 2ML, but he's always been by my side and always supported me. And hes my DNA lover!!!

The promo for E13 shows lots of hand holding between FL/2ML but the ML is back in the picture as well. The SFL gives the ML an ultimatum that he should tell FL how he feels but if FL rejects him, he should give 2FL a chance

I'm a little impressed by how little has happened in the drama. None of these people had any kind of personal growth. I guess the 2FL has decided to give monogamy a try but that whole plot is weird. I thought So Jin was going to realise that DNA and destiny wasn't everything but nope she has now decided that the 2ML is the man for her!!!

There are only 4 episodes left. Are we going to address the boatloads of baggage these people have or are we going to just watch So Jin flit about trying to decide between the two men in pastel toned cuteness? Are we supposed to forget that her mother calls another woman her daughter? And I dont even know where to start with ML's baggage.

And dont forget the murder mystery in the background! At this point I hope he gets one or two of the mains, but I usually dont get what I want, lol.

(The teaser for E13 really annoyed me into a rant)

I think the whole point will be that you can have certain genes but that doesn't mean that it forms your destiny.

I do think the ML and FL will be endgame. But I dont know what this means for the second pair. Altho I guess even she's flexible about her theories- I wasnt paying a lot of attention to her talk show but wasnt she saying something along the linee of how you can be polyamorous but choose to be with a single person.

Also it looks like 2ML's dad is shipping him with the 2FL!

No, no. I think we're concluding that even though in the show the 2FL and everyone around her say that she's polyamorous... she actually isn't?

Basically she's just a single woman who goes on casual dates. It's not clear how involved she is with any of her dates but as she's only shown stalking the ML or eating from a street food cart I dont think she's very involved or there are many guys.

Could be wrong, but I got the feeling by the end of this episode that maaaybe the 2ML might have accepted that he's missed his chance so he may step back now?

It seems like the 2FL will continue her deranged chase of a man who has repeatedly told her he's not interested in her.

Right??!! I was thinking that they both outrank them, why can't they tell them to stay out of their personal lives? We're also told how good of manager Yun Seo is and there was a whole monologue about how scary she is at work. But is she really?

Saaame. They guy was kind of annoying from day 1 but they were verging on unbearable this episode. It looks like they're going to be over involved and meddling throughout. Bleh

I thought the DNA compatibility plot was wearing a little thin but the polyamory side plot is even more tedious. And is the 2FL even polyamorous given how she keeps chasing the ML?

I'm assuming both women are going to give up their relationship theories at the end? Is that the point?

He's probably going to change too, lol. I don't know if I should take what she says at face value but didn't she imply that guys like him can really get fired up or something. I'm all for her being proven wrong so lets see!

The problem is that I feel like as we go along more of Gang Hun's plot will be with the 2FL and its too early to say whether she drags him down or he brings her up...

I knew that the affair wasn't going to survive for long when it was in the open but even I didnt expect it to collapse so spectacularly and so quickly. Did they not talk to each other at all between illicit hooking up and taking engagement pictures? Its like their relationship was sustained by their shared disdain for Eun Kyung.

But I don't think Ji Sang is going to do anything once he loses custody. It's his defeat in the way their break up was for Sa Ra. Jae Hee is not expendable to him in the way Eun Kyung and Sa Ra were, and she's going to deliver his punishment by rejecting him. Since its a family drama we're probably going to see Eun Kyung being the bigger person and brokering some kind of peace between them.

Then again, there are still 7 episodes left so who knows if its just going to get more unhinged.

I'm a little surprised that I'm enjoying this on the whole but maybe its because I was keeping my expectations low.
They are testing my patience by continuing to build up Mi Jin's character through her absence, though. We've got a pretty good background on our main players so let's see So Jin already now, lol. I'm curious why she agreed to this arrangement to begin with. And why is she the red wine fairy?

Oh, she was the only woman I recalled seeing with the ML in the trailers so I wasn't sure if thats who you meant.
Even if there is a triangle I don't think it should be too much of a threat.
I keep telling myself that there are only ten episodes, how much could they complicate what looks like a pretty straight forward story? Lol

If you mean the woman in the trailer who enters the building on the ML's arm-- that's his sister-in-law. So she's unlikely to be involved with the leads like that but there could be plot-device misunderstandings I guess

Contract marriages are evidently much less controversial than age gap stories! Lol.
Possibly? Si Won's wife was a very minor character as far as I got. I don't think she was seen or even named. So at this point we can only guess what direction the show chooses with Mi Jin. Maybe they were arranged by their parents, maybe they chose each other because there would be no family opposition for them to ignore their marriage and live their own lives.
