That, my fellow Beanies, is a sleeve.

Ok, we didn’t quite get the teamup between Sang-yoon and Myung-Ro that we were all cheering for, but I still have faith that it’s on the horizon very soon. I could not be more ready for this beloved chaotic duo to become a chaotic trio. And you know with Sang-yoon suspended he’s only going to get more chaotic ;)

I love pretty much every second that uri Myung-joon and Ro-hee are on screen together. Even though it was dark this week, them cracking jokes together and ragging on each other good naturedly was just the best. I loved Attorney Choi’s addition to their group - I really hope he turns out to be a solid character through and through, and repays Ro-hee’s trust in him, because I find him very endearing and was absolutely breathless when he was stabbed.

Hye-eun has been sketchy for so long - even as a kid! I get that she was desperate to be adopted, but she has seriously been using Myung-joon for their entire lives without showing any kind of remorse. I agree @solstices that she was so creepy when she turned on her tears in the meeting with the security guy and then turned them off so completely when she discovered the wiretap. It’s interesting that Myung-joon was the one who actually had what Prof Choi was looking for all those years ago, not her.

But also pretty tragic is Doctor Mo. She can’t stand the fact that her daughter is developing more slowly than other children, but her kid is healthy and safe (and probably would be happy if she saw her mom more often). So it seems to me that what she thinks she’s doing out of love is at least partly motivated by social status and ego.

I guess a lot of us hope and expect that Myung-joon ends up with custody over Ro-hee (although who actually has custody over who might be debatable) and that they and Hee-ae end up as one big happy/healthy (and rich) family. But can we be sure that Dr. Mo's kid won't also join the family while Dr. Mo ends up dead or in prison?

I thought Dr Mo's daughter was ill somehow but she's just slow?

Poor traumatized Ro Hee; seeing all that violence in front of her is rough.

Myeong Jun is such a good guy. I want him to somehow maintain a relationship with Ro Hee when all this is over though not sure how that would work.
It's interesting how NO ONE ELSE can seem to fathom why he would care about a child that's not his own with no benefit to himself. You would think he's an alien.

So, I thought kid Myeong Jun was just goofing around when taking the test so I was surprised about her switching the tests and finding out that's how she ended up taken in. Current Myeong Jun doesn't seem particularly academically gifted so how well did he do on the test? Or were they being spied on and the doctor saw her ambition which led to her being chosen?

Finally Myeong Jun & the detective are together again!
Now only need Ro Hee for the team to be complete.

I really enjoyed the beginning of episode 8. It was so nice watching the good guys win for once! And it was nice watching them smile and make plans for the future. BUT when I saw them act so relaxed going shopping, eating, and buying stuffed animals (and leaving RH alone) I got anxious.

It wasn't a really smart move, tbh. I even found strange that Ro Hee was so calm and relaxed. She's the one that doesn't trust anyone, she always thinks of all the possibilities. So it was kinda weird watching her act like this.
Apparently they didn't even mentioned Jaden's existence to the detective? They didn't tell him everything. So why were they so chill?

However, after watching episode 9 I started to think that maybe it was for the best. I don't trust a single soul in the police department. They need really strong evidence to fight them, and they don't have that yet.

Next week episodes look intense but also fun! I'm going to miss this show so much. Can't believe we have only three episodes left. 🥺

There was too little interaction between Myung Joon and Ro Hee for obvious reasons. The show should not separate them this long. I feel bad for Ro Hee but the girl sure is tenacious and cunning.
Hye Eun ia definitely not someone to mess with. I can't believe Myung Jun fell for her machi...wait back up. I am talking about a guy eho is putty in the hands of an 11 year old. It is possible.
So he should've been the first child until Hye Eun got her clawd into that opportunity. But it backfired on her because of that incident at the hospital with Cheol Won and most likely because of her less than stellar intelligence compared to Jin Tae. She definitely has the motivation to kill and exact her revenge.
I am most looking forward to Sang Hyun joining the team next week. Also the much awaited reunion between the kidnappee and kidnapper.

I can never guess the plot twists in this show! I haven’t been this at the edge of my seat since SAVE ME. It’s the only currently airing drama I watching at the moment and no regrets man, it’s so good!

Hye-eun is interesting, I’m curious about all her choices, it does seem like she murdered Dr Choi as revenge but I also want to know her plan???

I keep hoping Ho Young will somehow start his redemption in these episodes, as there seems to be some flicker of emotion ( or am I just imagining it?) whenever there is talk of harming Ro-hee. Alas , he did not. But I still have hope, Ro hee, Myung joon and Sang yun definitely could use some help.

I forgot to mention the, is it misogyny, of the doctor wanting male successors? His first choice was Myeong Jun and then after Hye Eun was injured/attacked, he got another boy.

I wouldn't be surprised if it were revealed that Myeong Jun had volunteerily given up the opportunity to stay with the doctor regardless of the IQ test.

Ironically, my all-time favorite villain/antagonist is Jaden Lee from Doctor Lawyer. And once again I have fallen for this drama's sexy and charismatic villain who is also called Jaden.

My heart breaks when I see Ro-hee very traumatised due to the violence around her. She looked very stressed and even asked Ho-young what she needed to do so other won't get hurt because of her. Poor Ro-hee. :(

Given the preview, we will finally see our two male leads work together yayy :D.

I thought Myeongjun might have been experimented on and that's why he is so "dumb" and strong. But he only was there for 2 days.. so that was probably a wrong theory.

Maybe this will bite me, but i think Hye Eun might be a red herring. Regardless she was creepy af in that interrogation room...

Also, thanks for clearing up that Myeongjun was doodling because he FINISHED the IQ test. I thought he didn't finish it. I was so tired when i watched that episode, i totally missed it. I also doodled a lot onto the paper as a child (..i still do) because i got bored of the easy questions, well until it catched onto me that i didn't learn xD. Maybe Myeongjun is a similar case.

I would feel bad if Myung Joon was used by Hye Eun all along, but it would also be sad if Myung Joon voluntarily let him get used by her, which is why I do not want Hye Eun to be the master mind behind this whole murder.

I am betting that Ro Hee already knows about the hidden chip in her chain and replaced/removed it.

Wow, this show keeps getting better and better. I love all the plot twists, which are totally unforeseeable, yet totally believable.

As many fellow beanies wondered, why someone with a super-high IQ can be/act so "dumb": this can happen easily, when high-giftedness goes unrecognised. Highly-gifted children "play dumb" in order to fit in. In combination with a lack of adequate schooling, they might even forget about their abilities. The constant feeling of "otherness" can lead to low-self esteem, too.

'The kidnapping day' has finally arrived here in Italy too
Yeeeeehhhhhh!
I look forward to see it
Maybe, as early as tonight 8-D
Happy week end to all you!
