@mistyisles thank you for the weecap.

It was a mixed feast this week of bringing the funny back and then it became so sad. The new theory; I have to concede the niece and uncle are both a nightmare and the voice in the phone is Bora 4 taking over just as Seonjoo said it would if the creator didn’t rein it back. There were a couple of times it was if the voice was talking about someone else rather than himself but that may just be coincidence or translation. Because it’s on Viki I don’t think it’s a translation issue.

Mapi is like a dog with a bone he found the run away girl, he found the guy. He was a one man show but this time acting for the good of others rather than himself. I don’t get how the doctor who was so inept was able to untie himself to access a phone and get help to get out of the locked room. It was good the others didn’t get the message until after it was done or all three would have died.

So is Wije a double agent? He reports to the niece and is also the uncle’s closest confidant. How did Miran find him just before he was about to kill himself? Has she been a sleeper ever since her dad chose her brother over her? is her dad’s illness something she planned just like Seonjoo in which case it can backfire at any time as it did not look like the dad’s death was timed as she would have wanted.

Final theory Seonjoo will die or be incapacitated so the company will stay with Insung and Seyeon and they will marry and adopt Mina. His friend Hyunho will either get rich from shares or get a job in the company and it will become a company that gives newbies a chance to get on the career ladder and thus encourage innovation. Not sure how they will get rid of the Bumyoung group maybe double agent will do something as he knows the full picture of the corruption. Bora 4 will live on in a more advanced version of the robot that his parents love and will be an assistant that helps disabled or elderly people a bit like in My Holo Love where he became a friend.

The drama became way too serious! How can they think to kill Ma-Pi?!?

I'm surprised that Kim Sung-Oh didn't become more famous. He's pretty versatile and has beautiful eyes!

I really hope Mapi isn't dead. I can't imagine the show without him.

Baro 4.0 is definitely acting as Sung joo. They have indirectly explained it.
Mapi should please still be alive. Put him in a coma for a few days but let him stay alive to see Min ah happy.

I'll be gutted if Mapi is taken away from us at this stage, he's such a great character, I want him to be there for Min Ah to the end and get the found family he needs for himself too. It really went dark at the end, I wasn't expecting it to go quite as extreme (for me) as that.
In Sung is a delight, I hope we get some time later for the romance to tick up a bit as it's clear why it needs to take a back seat at the moment. I'll be looking out for the actor's name in future shows.
Finally, it was a relief to see Se Yeon 'fess up and trust the others enough to let them help her. I loved that scene.

Episode 10 is darker than I expected and the niece-uncle duo is really getting on my nerves. They need to be exposed and punished for their crimes.
I don't know if it is just me but I am sick and tired of chaebol succession fights. can't they just think of other ways to proceed with the plot?
As for Mapi, I won't be able to bear it if something were to happen to him. I mean his character growth arc is one of the most satisfying redemption arcs out there and it is done in a convincing way too. I want him alive for Min-ah's sake. I mean he has to see the fruit of his hard work when Min-ah meets her father again.
Hoping for a happy ending where In-seong and Se-yeon become a lovey-dovey couple and Min-ah lives happily with dad, uncle mafia, and the rest of the gang.

Ahhhh Hyungnim be okay!!! Also the little actress playing MI Nah is a dynamo. She is so talented. This drama is such a gem, im sad it is ending soon.

Ok, so I’m hoping this is a fakeout and Ma-pi will still pull through. I think it’s pretty unlikely, but I will dream until proven wrong. That scene was so powerful though, with the clips of In-seong’s triumphant return interspersed with Ma-pi’s desperate fight. It pulled on my heart so much. But Ma-pi definitely planted a GPS tracker on Seon-joo’s hospital bed, right? Like he did with Se-yeon’s mom? So they aren’t back at square one with finding him again, thank goodness.

One of my favorite things in this show has been watching In-seong make the compassionate decisions rather than the practical ones. He is so consistent, he pretty much can’t help it, even when it cost him his dream of becoming an actor, and even when he was on the verge of getting fired from his job with Seon-joo because he kept getting distracted by other peoples’ plights. I was happy with that as mere characterization, but it was beautiful to see all those people come out of the woodwork for him when he needed it. And it’s been lovely to watch Seon-joo recognize In-seong’s worth and gifts more and more with each episode. One of my favorite drama heroes I've seen in a while.

I pretty much agree with every one of these comments above As far as the chaebol succession, I was really hoping that it would be presented as not just a power struggle, but as a debate between old and new technology. Now they both are just a pair of villains.

Of course, I really like the romance, and I hope it develops a bit more by the end.

I am particularly hoping that there will be a happy ending, though, with both the "phone" and In-sung teaching the boss that work is not worth neglecting his daughter, and that virtual reality and AI are only good as tools and not replacements.

Of course, that's the way I would write it, but I don't have a good track record in writing the ends of dramas I'm watching these days!

I agree with everyone else here - please let Mapi be ok so we won't have to see Minah heartbroken!!!

Aside from all main characters and the twists, I'm also really enjoying how the director/team made the phone a physical character to replace Park Sung Woong - ex: how the phone swivels around to look at who's talking when they're in their office or how the camera zooms in on the phone when it's watching Minah and feeling sad. I actually find myself feeling emotional about the phone sometimes.

This drama was such a pleasant surprise! I'll be really sad after it ends next week, and I find myself already wanting to rewatch it soon.

I was not expecting to cry over this show. Between the daughter trying to get arrested or taken by police just so her father would have to find her and Mapi putting in that work to physically visit numerous locations, I was kinda beside myself by the time we got to that final scene of him being found in the corner of the ring.
I also got teary eyed when people stepped up to say what a good guy In Seong is and how he was affected by it. That whole sequence was so touching. It was so satisfying that he was reinstated like less than a week later.

I don't even know who the traitor is because who knew about the gym? I feel like the red herrings is the caretaker and the butler but weren't they watching the daughter, so how would they have had the time to follow Mapi or In Seong? Seems like they are the only two choices but it feels too blantant. I don't know.
In a weird plot twist, it could be the CEO somehow behind things. I have no idea how he would benefit from causing his daughter emotional distress or having his body in other people's hands but it just feels too obvious for it to be the caretaker or butler.

All I can think is the Bumyoung people are going entirely too far and I don't know what kind of comeuppence would be satisfying to me. They took a father away from his child over basically a time table. Eventually that bug could've possibly been fixed but no, can't possibly wait a year or two since lives would be on the line when there's shares and titles to earn now.

Oh! I'm so disgusted with rich people now.

I kinda feel like I just want a drama where people just eat the rich. Maybe in the vein of Leverage or Trading Places (Trading Places might be a weird addition but I was thinking about the part where the guys who were screwed over joined forces to bring down the rich guys who played with their lives & screwed them over). I don't even know but I'm just so sick of rich people treating every one else as if they are disposible or pieces that's to be moved according to their whims.
