My previous post was very wrong, so ignore that! Mari has been diagnosed with PTSD as a result of her accident long ago, so she is suffering and is refusing hospital treatments that were pretty unpleasant in the past. In the end, she admits that she really misses Pil Seung, he is the big brother and protector that she needs. Chairman reluctantly calls PS to comfort Mari, which infuriates Jin Dan. I think this is the window that lets PS get closer to Chairman, even though the divorce is still on the table and Chairman is stinging from the whole revelation by his wife. PS may be able to score a few brownie points with the Chairman if Mari shows improvement. That whole "adopt your half brother" scheme is nuts! Wow! With ex boyfriend Sang Gu showing up I hope the Jin Dan reveal of not being related to Chairman is soon. Not sure how that is going to happen unless Sang Gu wants to claim Jin Dan as his own.

Took a peek at the end of this week's episode without subs, but it seems Mari has managed to get Pil Seung back in business with the crew due to her refusal to eat and making herself sick. She is sensitive to the heartbreak of everyone involved, and Dad finally breaks and agrees to reestablish the production.

So in the end, the production company is being dissolved (I would think illegally), and a new one with the existing director and staff will be formed. Hopefully Pil Seung's birth Mom will have the resources, through a big divorce settlement, to go independent and make that happen. Too bad the protesting staff didn't alert the press to be there at the skirmish to get some pictures and bad press for Chairman's company.

I'm thinking this is all a tease from the writer. Something creative is in the works... stay tuned.

That's a good point, @Lmangla, maybe someone who doesn't have a family interest, or money, or love interest will be the one to protect Dora the most. I'm hoping Grandma will be the one to have some real impact on what happens to Dora. Mom's money problems resurfacing again could start to trigger some flashbacks for Dora, but I hope Grandma sticks around to monitor it all.

This weekend's episodes are so well written and acted. Surely there will be numerous supporting role awards as the acting is superb. The birth secret is out to most people, and at the end of the last episode, Pil Seung will become aware of the whole story soon. I like that this came out and was addressed pretty thoroughly in 2 episodes, so the story moves on to the next level. Even Mi Ra's character has moved on from what was presented earlier as a somewhat incapable person, to a more mature support for her mother, even though this latest reveal has even MR not liking her Mother. The drama was so extreme that it reminded me of something you might see on a Broadway stage. Yes, you could see where it was all going, but the agony and deceitfulness that was portrayed by Mother and friend is all out there, no one was holding back. Good for Dad who also expressed his shock and disappointment for being fooled. The family is definitely united in their outrage. I sense some real turns in the near future that will take us in new directions, and I'm looking forward to it.

I'm really tired of the screeching women and wish the director of this drama would get them to lower the pitch a few hundred decibels. You can depict anger without elevating the pitch to dog calling heights.😒 I'm counting on the people that now know the real identity of Dora to see the light and realize how important it is for her future to play along with her new persona. The negative media attention she would receive if the truth came out would push her back to suicide again. Pil Seung was very strong against conniving Mom, and though she was insulted, I think it's beginning to sink in. This could get interesting. Someone mentioned Dora possibly being "pushed" at the waterfront. I keep thinking about rich boy telling someone, "I need you to do something". I wouldn't put it past him to have planned something evil.

The explanation about MaRi is that she had been in a terrible accident years ago and has some brain damage. I'm liking this drama, but the MaRi character is so bizarre with her flipping between normal conversations and being quite articulate to acting childish with a stuffed animal. Her mother's admission of the whole child out of wedlock saga is pretty sappy, and brain damaged MaRi seemed to understand and take it all in, even researching on the internet about the needs of new babies. The writing for this character is totally out of whack. I expect a lot of awards for our 2 leads as their acting is really good. The rest of the support is good also, and it looks like Mr. Romantic is taking charge for Ji Young, never losing out again to money and power. He'll be more of an equal to his rival since his birth mother will be funding a dramatic endeavor in the future (as indicated in the preview for next week). Both leads play the serious and comedy parts very well; there are LOL parts and serious sections that balance out the drama. I'm really enjoying this drama.

I totally agree with you both. Disregarding the single mother and her struggles to raise 4 kids without financial support during their most important growing years is a real insult to those Mothers. She sacrificed and lived in poverty while her legal husband ran off for an easier life with a new partner. Since Korea no longer punishes men for their infidelity, he gets off pretty easy. And the humiliation dished out by new wife to old wife for a liver donation is beyond belief. I get that the message of family loyalty is what the goal is in these last episodes, but unfortunately, the loyalty should be going to Mother, not Father.
