I knew Hyun-chae and Da-bin were alive. I knew Seo-jin and Ae-ri were connected through the building collapse. I knew Seo-jin's company was behind the incidents. Despite the predictability, I find the drama thrilling. Good execution and top notch acting.

Hyun-chae is a piece of work. I agree with @Laica that she has a weirdly detached vibe. Seo-jin doesn't appear to have been the best husband, but he doesn't deserve to be destroyed. When Seo-jin starts to figure things out he needs to lay some truth bombs on Do-kyun like he did Jin-ho. Hyun-chae used him 12 years ago and is using him now and will destroy him when he's no longer of use.

There's another company behind the collapse, the project was a joint venture. I think Hyunchae's dad was the boss of the other company, and that company took the brunt and went bankrupt while Yujung construction is still in business, and successfull at that.

In 2008, Hyunchae nonchalantly told Dogyun that she lives in a high end area, and Dogyun believed her because according to him she does look rich. I think she was talking about her old home, before she had to work at bars to support herself.

I do think Hyunchae has the upperhand in her relationship with Dogyun. I do think she approached younger Seojin with a plan in mind, got married and secretly laid out he cobweb and waited until the right moment to attack.

However I don't think the main target is Seojin. I think the target is the company. To me..it doesn't make sense if the chairman is the mastermind to take down Seojin and make him miserable...he gets no benefit from it, and it's bad press for his company 😅.

Looking forward to ep 6! I'm looking forward to Monday too @laica .

Just finished episode 1, it caught my attention enough to make me watch the next one.

I wish more people checks out this gem! I am not into time slip/travel dramas but I think this one is an exception.

I agree with you @katakwasabi, I think evil wife is coming after the Chairman/company. Poor Seojin 🥺

I wonder when Aeri can finally communicate with Seo Jin in August. Like make him listen to her. If September Seo Jin could provide a clue that only he would know, maybe that could be her way of getting through to him. Reference the accident that happened to him in the past? The last words that his father spoke to him? I just want Aeri and Seojin to meet, talk and drink PPL coffee together.

Each character's motivation is a mystery.

Seo Jin chose to work in the compagny that almost killed him when he was young. He really didn't know their implication in this incident? Or the CEO made him a job offer to keep him far from the truth?

The mum wants to revenge her husband, but why now? What new information she got that gave her power to make them afraid and killing her?

Hyun-Chae looks like a rich girl who lost everything and had to survive alone. How is she connected to the collapsed building? She's clearly using Do-Kyun to make the dirty work. But why she's so angry against her husband to the point of acting in an extreme way.

So we were all right: Neither HuynChae not DaBid are dead (and have never been!). My bet right now it is that HyunChae is the one behind this, she wants to get rid of his husband, get all the money and her child and her lover. I think this is a long term scheme. She’s really a cold and calculating person considering her so real-faked reaction to her daughter’s death.

Can someone be behind her actions? I have the feeling Chairman is up to no good thing. I didn’t buy his good words from minute one. CEO’s in drama land are not that kind, specially the ones in big construction companies.

I believe the objective is to frame SeoJin both for the deaths of his wife and daughter and the low quality materials and get rid of him. In fact, in episode 1 he was about to kill himself when he received AeRi’s messages. That was what the ones behind this plan were after: without him, HyunChae can be with DoHyun and CEO has someone to blame for the materials.

But still I think TaeKyu is a red herring, and this is based only on the fact that it was him the one who gave AeRi’s number to Seojin. I know he was present in the scene where AeRi was supposed to die, that his apartment is the one where DoKyun and HuynChae meet (who else got Billy Wilder’s The Apartment here?), that he follows orders from CEO, that he was the one who took Mum from hospital and he went to the place where se was hiding. That all is true, but then, why giving SeoJin that precise number, when we all know that AeRi seems to be the reason things are changing?

Should we still keep referring to Da bin as his daughter or just Da bin until we’re sure that she’s his? The wife is a snake so anything is possible with her.
Poor Seo Jin, I don’t think he has done anything that wrong for him to suffer this much😢

Thank you for the recap, I was blown away by this episode. The attention to detail,the editing is just brilliant, can't wait until the next episode airs.

Do-kyun's and Hyunchae's relationship is very disturbing, it doesn't seem like hyunchae has ever cared for him. He worships her and is willing to sacrifice everything at her command. Surely this means dabin is his daughter?

I can't believe Hyun-chae could act so distraught over her daughter when she planned the whole thing. She gave herself the perfect albi by performing on stage. I got the vibe from the first episode that this was an arranged marriage, if she isn't from a wealthy background, who is backing her? Could it be the chairman introduced the two of them together or she targeted seojin to get to the company?
I had thought do-kyun's father was involved in the accident, could it be hyunchae instead?

I also was very worried that ae-ri's friend would be hurt before he paid back the debts. If taek-kyu was smart, he would leave evidence that it was gun-bok.

I am curious how Seo-jin get out of that collapsed building 19 years ago, which Ae-ri's father died in. How is that going to connect to the current situation?

I've decided to watch Kairos, because I have this love-hate feeling toward Shin Sung Rok since his play in Last Empress. But now I'm glad I watched it.
The story line is unusual and fascinating to watch. Shin Sung Rok's acting is marvellous.
