So, @lilcrash, do you think sometimes the biological mother would sub in for SR since she had memories of being with the twins, even though SR was supposed to have lived with them since they were babies?
Well for me, it only became noticeable in Ep20, as seen in my post above.
Also before and after Lee Ji-ah opens the door to Dan-tae's room, the expression and action didn't feel like it was Soo-ryeon. Soo-ryeon also had earrings... but the character/biological mother that got stabbed didn't wear earrings.

Ep 21 pre-released scene

The photo that Logan Lee found in Dan-tae's safe is Seok-kyung and Seok-hoon's biological mother and after Soo-ryeon saw the photo she was surprised, so we can deduce that the twin's biological mother is someone who looks like Soo-ryeon. Logan Lee told Soo-ryeon that there's a rumour of her having a secret affair with Mr. Jung Doo Man of Happy Future Party going around and Soo-ryeon said she doesn't even know him. The twin's biological mother has something to do with Mr Jung Doo Man of Happy Future Party...
SpoilerWhen Soo-ryeon answered Butler Yang's phone call, Soo-ryeon has 2 rings on her left hand ring finger.
In this scene below, there's no ring on her left hand ring finger... so this person is not Soo-ryeon, must be the twin's biological mother! Soo-ryeon needed to fake her death to escape Dan-tae's grasp. Logan Lee already told Soo-ryeon that they can't trust Butler Yang, so I don't think she would go back to the penthouse straight away just because Butler Yang phoned her as she knows that Butler Yang is on Dan-tae's side. We've seen that she's always one step ahead of everyone else so she's smarter than that!
I feel Lee Ji-ah was acting as two characters in Ep20, because her eye makeup was different!!!
I think in this scene below it was the twin's biological mother that showed up at the penthouse, not Soo-ryeon. The twin's biological mother said "And that penalty...I'll pay for it for the rest of my life. Until I die, as your mother... " The dialogue has a different feel... you'll know what I'm talking about if you compare it with the Ep18 deleted/unbroadcasted scene that I posted yesterday.
Seok-kyung didn't recognise her biological mother here...
Spoiler
Kim So-yeon's acting was good in this scene in Ep20.

Deleted/unbroadcasted scenes from Ep 15-18
Deleted/unbroadcasted scene from Ep 18 (starts at 10:19 of the video above)
I think this scene is pretty important, wonder why they deleted it. Can see from Seok-kyung's teary eyes that she longs for maternal love and wants to be protected by Soo-ryeon. I think she likes Soo-ryeon as her mother. Translations below.
Soo-ryeon: Are you guys ok? Nothing happened right? Your dad didn't do anything to you guys right?
Seok-kyung: You are still acting at a time like this? If you are really worried about us, why did you run away from home? You left us and ran away yourself (to survive)!
Soo-ryeon: I should have discussed with you both in advance, I'm sorry, I haven't resolve the issue with your dad yet, things happened too quickly. I didn't run away by leaving you both behind.
Seok-hoon: Has dad been hitting/abusing you all this time? Just like he has been hitting/abusing us? Is that why you are getting a divorce from dad?
Soo-ryeon: The issue is more complicated than that. I can't tell you both right now. No matter what happens in the future, the fact that I'm your mother will not change. I promise.
Seok-kyung: How can you still call yourself our mother?/What qualification do you have to say the word 'mother'?
You're even less than an outsider! This family...I hate it!
Seok-hoon: I don't know what you are trying to do, but right now I'll protect Seok-kyung like before. So mother, you look after yourself and watch out for dad.
Soo-ryeon: I'll live as Seol-ah's mother now, because she never had a mother. When this is all over, I'll be your mother again (Seok-hoon & Seok-kyung).
Bonus: Lee Ji-ah's makeup artist doing a tutorial on Shim Soo-ryeon's makeup (she invited Lee Ji-ah) because she got so many requests
Kim So-yeon will guest in the show Hang out with Yoo/ How do you play?, the episode will be broadcasted on 9th January 2021.

Park Eun-seok immigrated to the States when he was 7 years old and have lived in New York for over 15 years before moving back to South Korea when he was 22 years old because he wanted to become an actor, that's why his English pronunciation is good.
Merry Christmas from Logan Lee/Park Eun-seok and Soo-ryeon/Lee ji-ah ~~~

Here's a Q&A which Lee Ji-ah did with Allure Korea where she explains Soo-ryeon's style of clothing. There's english subs, just turn on the closed caption on youtube.
She said when Soo-ryeon has to look feminine she wears a blouse and when she has to look tough she wears trench coats or suits.

Lol...why is Jenny's dad in jail and not in Dubai? Oh my... so Jenny's mum saved those rich ladies' lives when she was poor.
So other than Soo-ryeon and Yoon-hee, now Dr Ha, Lawyer Lee (has Min Seol-ah's phone) and Seok-hoon also know about Dan-tae and Seo-jin's affair. Only a matter of time until the whole Hera palace gang finds out.
Looks like Logan Lee/Goo Ho-dang will be making Soo-ryeon's life harder... Nooo Logan Lee/Goo Ho-dang... Please give Soo-ryeon a chance to explain herself!

This new character shown in Ep 8 preview can actually be Seol-ah's brother (not related, just that she transferred her bone marrow to him) in disguise?
Quoting myself from last week because after this week's Ep 8 and 9, I think it is clear that this PE teacher is Seol-ah's adoptive brother.
I like how Soo-ryeon is always a step ahead of Dan-tae and Seo-jin! I cannot wait for Seo-jin to get her karma handed to her. I laughed when Seo-jin went back to check the necklace on the drawing and it changed from an apple to a heart.

Didn't expect the writer
Spoilerto kill off Secretary Yoon this early.
He was really helpful to Soo-ryeon, but I guess he knew he can't get away from Dan-tae. Gosh Congressman Jo is such a despicable person, making money by sending orphan children overseas to do bone marrow transplant. Glad he died.
Now that the mobile phone has shown up, I hope Soo-ryeon gets it. Soo-ryeon please don't get caught! Dan-tae and Seo-jin are still very suspicious of you...

I don't think it was Oh Yoon-hee that threw Min Seol-ah out of the window, it was the man that Seol-ah encountered in the hallway, he was the one that did it. Yoon-hee probably freed Seol-ah, that's why she got blood on her hands, but how did (drunk) Yoon-hee find her there? Eun-byeol then pushed Seol-ah down the stairs, because her behaviour wasn't normal when the rich kids were discussing on Seol-ah's death news.
There's the blood stain on Seo-jin's red gemstone with diamond ring when she slapped Seol-ah. The lawyer dropped the expensive antique skeleton pocket watch outside Seol-ah's place, will the police find it?
What's in the usb found in Seol-ah's autopsy?
I liked how Soo-ryeon saw the Ep 4 ending, it is better for her to see it with her own eyes than watching from a video. Her revenge plot will now begin!
15 hours ago, yellowreign said:Just finished episodes 3 and 4. This drama is like LOL but somehow I got hooked. Guess it explains when the same writer wrote temptation of wife...
Feels like sky castle on the outside with all the drama in temptation of wife (remember the ridiculous thing of the female lead literally just adding a mole to become someone else...)
Anyone noticed some inconsistencies in the ballroom gowns in ep 4? They were wearing the Georgian(?) style ballroom gowns when Min Seol-a fell and also cleaned up the place in the same gown. Afterwards they changed into the modern-styled gowns at the main ceremony in front of the fountain. Now we are shown Cheon Seo-jin wearing her red gown when Min Seol-A bit her? A bit odd or maybe I missed out something!
Honestly thought this was becoming a black comedy with how the Hera Palace gang moved the body and cleaned the place up... it’s like ridiculous yet it suits how dramatic this drama is haha.
I didn't find it odd, it was a flashback. Seo-jin went to the mechanical room before she changed into those Georgian style ballroom gown.

Arghh why are the rich kids in this drama so bad? I thought Ha Eun-byeol would be a decent kid, but near the end of Ep2 the writer just had to make all the rich kids bully Min Seol-ah.
So from Ep2 we know that Sim Soo-ryeon is not the biological mother of Seok-hoon and Seok-kyung. No wonder they are so cold towards her. Joo Hye-in, the girl laying in the hospital bed is a fake daughter that Joo Dan-tae hired. I think Min Seol-ah is Sim Soo-ryeon's biological daughter.
Min Seol-ah is treading on thin ice, she might show the kissing video to Sim Soo-ryeon and Soo-ryeon will find out what kind of monster her husband Joo Dan-tae is.

(Yonhap Interview) Actress Kim Seo-hyung's villain roles peak in 'Sky Castle'
SEOUL, Jan. 30 (Yonhap) -- The supporting role of a shameless villain in an adulterous relationship that Kim Seo-hyung played in SBS' 2009 hit drama series "Temptation of Wife" brought her out of more than 10 years of obscurity.
Since then, many more villain roles have come her way, including her cameo role in the 2018 drama series by MBC "Come and Hug Me," fixing her image on the small screen as a cold-blooded, merciless woman.
Her latest role in "Sky Castle," a black comedy and thriller by the cable channel JTBC whose final episode is set to air on Friday, has brought her villainous career to the next level.
Kim plays Kim Joo-young, a miserable professional coordinator for college admissions who manipulates and eventually destroys rich, high-class parents in a deal with the devil to get their children admitted to the country's top medical school. Sky Castle is the name of the luxurious residential compound where Kim's clients live.
"At first, I thought I cannot do this, so I wanted to quit and run away," the 46-year-old actress said in a media interview on Tuesday, referring to the imposing challenge the latest role posed to her.
"I really did not want to create another Shin Ae-ri," Kim said, recalling her career-making role in the 2009 drama series. "I hate repeating (what I have done already). I really hate what was seen already being seen again."
"The Shin Ae-ri character in 'Temptation of Wife' made me what I am now, but at the same time, it also traumatized me," Kim said.
"The habits of Kim Seo-hyung as an actress, such as characters and voice, constantly seeped into Kim Joo-young, so I felt I could not do it. It was the first time I wanted to run away (in the middle of a series)," she said.
Eventually, she made it to the end of the 20 episodes, immaculately and chillingly personifying the character who, having destroyed her own genius child with her desire for academic excellence, seeks revenge to bring down parents like her.
The drama series laid bare the cruelty and inhumanity of the country's blind competition to go to prestigious universities, resonating widely with the audience.
It also made TV drama series history, garnering a record-high viewer rating of 22.3 percent for a drama series aired by cable channels, according to Nielsen Korea.
The previous record was held by "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God," a fantasy romance by tvN that aired from 2016-2017 and had a viewer rating of 20.5 percent at its peak.
"Sky Castle" was so famous, even from its first episode, that the script of one of the episodes was leaked ahead of its broadcasting, leading the production team to file for a police investigation into the public leak.
With the sensational success of the JTBC program, every actor and actress in the show stormed into the public consciousness, led by Kim, whose steely facial expressions, fashion style and speech created a flurry of parodies on the small screen and on the Internet.
"I never, ever dreamed that I would have another heyday after 10 years," she said, attributing the success to her previous villain roles.
"The villain characters I played, including Shin Ae-ri, were, in fact, not steel-willed roles but rather pathetic characters," she said. "I cried a lot while playing the role of Kim Joo-young, (because) it made me wonder, 'Why do I have to always play poor roles that make me lonely?'"
Kim also recalled the painstaking behind-the-scene efforts she made to bring to life her "Sky Castle" character.
Spoiler"Every week, I had scenes for two or three episodes, and it took me nearly four hours to try on costumes for the episodes," Kim said.
The style of her hair, all tightly pulled back in a bun, was a major source of pain throughout all the episodes. "The frustration and rage from the headaches in the initial part of the series were beyond verbal expression," she said, adding that the pain caused her to regret her part at some points.
The massive pressure also put her on an emotional edge all throughout the shooting, barring any solid communication with actor Lee Hyun-jin, who played the role of a faithful assistant.
"The two lonely characters managed to pull through the show very well," she said with tearful eyes. "We could take our first smiling photo together only when the shooting reached the final 19th and 20th episodes."

(END)[INTERVIEW] Kim Seo-hyung steals show
By Park Jin-hai
Neatly combed-back haired and dressed in all-black, when actress Kim Seo-hyung appears in the popular JTBC drama "SKY Castle," she steals the show with her domineering charisma and eerie, mysterious aura.
The 45-year-old veteran actress plays cold-hearted personal counselor Kim Ju-young in the drama, who is hired by super-rich parents, who want to give their children easy tickets to the most coveted university to pass on their wealth and social status.
"Hearing just that the drama revolves around mothers obsessed with their children's education, I was worried that it could end up being the same old soap opera with helicopter moms. But the first two episodes changed all that," the actress said during an interview with The Korea Times at a cafe in southern Seoul, Tuesday.
"Each episode felt like a film with great cinematography and great directing. So to some extent, I forecast that it would garner good rankings. I thought it might rise to around 10 percent. But I didn't know it would be this successful."
With just one episode left to go, the 20-part black comedy mocking Korea's insane education fervor has been enjoying an explosive response from viewers.
The drama kicked off with 1.7 percent viewership for its first episode aired Nov. 23, but its latest episode aired Sunday surged to a cable networks' record of 23.2 percent, surpassing the previous record of "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God" with 20.5 percent.
Kim is best known for her previous role as a mean woman who lures best her friend's husband in the daily drama "Temptation of Wife" (2008-2009). In this show, the villain is a woman with personal pain, responsible for ruining her prodigy daughter with her own hands. Her personal tragedy and a sense of inferiority make her use all means available to destroy the perfect-looking families so that they suffer the same pain as she does.
"Although the scenes that I appear in were relatively shorter than other actresses, in many I had to play this important role of triggering some incident in the beginning of each episode, and developing it into the one that has potential to shred the entire family in the end," said Kim.
The actress who says her acting has been "over-estimated," added it was a challenge to control her expression.
"Compared with Shin Ae-ri of Temptation of Wife, who ostensibly let out her emotions; for this Ju-young character, I had to hold her pain and sufferings inside. Yet I had to retain the tension and charisma she has. So I kept on asking myself if I was playing my character right."
As the drama has been immensely popular, many fans have played a guessing game on who did what and posted their scenarios. Part of drama's script has been also leaked online as well.
"The strength of our drama lies in a story that goes beyond imagination. It was fun to read all those fans' guessing scenarios, some of them did really make sense and were convincing, following all those small cues on the screen. But when I receive the script, it has another surprise after another," Kim said.
The actress said all the other small details made it a great drama. "As for the selection of hair styling and clothes, they were the outcomes of careful discussions among me, my staff and director to better express the scenes and character's emotional state," she said, telling a dress fitting process sometimes lasted four to five hours. "In wearing all black, I chose a high-neck collar blouse to show her firmness, while I intentionally chose black leather in blackmailing Seo-jin, the mother of her student."
As for her charismatic roles in dramas, she said she was thankful for that, because they all made her the actress she is today. "I've bagged many similar strong female characters, but I try hard to express my characters differently," she said. "Creating a new character is a painstaking process that requires a lot of energy. So while I'm not acting, I try to empty myself and be easy with myself, so that I can play another strong female character in my next project."-

Yeah, I find it weird also. But how else could she fool Dan-tae and the other Hera Palace people?
If Soo-ryeon is dead, lots of people are going to drop this drama, including me lol.
Fake news or mistranslations?
They are the same person but the article only said to watch the broadcast to see what Ki Eun-se's role is, the producers never revealed anything else.
Article link: http://www.spotvnews.co.kr/?mod=news&act=articleView&idxno=396991
As imgreatgal mentioned she appeared in Ep20. Ki Eun-se's role is Reporter Kim and she helps Soo-ryeon to report the crimes of the Hera Palace people.
His name is Lee Min-ho (born in 1993).
