Has it been explained in the weecaps why IL Do is so in Jang San's control? For what reason would he murder the woman he loved just cause the old man said so? And why is jealous of the guy? It is cause the woman he liked was with someone else?

I wonder how he survived a direct gunshot. Is he wearing a vest?

It was the least angst-free fauxcest case ever - EN never knew and DJ, apart of looking uncomfortable for 5 minutes, didn't seem to much either. Not even one good old broody shower over this? Writer-nim, come on!

Mad respect to Chairman for being more clear-headed about his situation (esp hasty marriage) even with his dementia than all his spawns combined in their entire lives. Why is Taeyun against it tho? Because his mommy is? I like the guy for he's clearly too innocent for that snake pit, but he's such a non-player in the grand scheme of things, why we're even wasting our time on him? Congrats to EN for getting everything she desired - divorce, blessing to marry DJ AND those damned shares - without as much as lifting a finger. Idk if we're about to switch channels from Borgia to Romeo & Juliet concerning her now, but I trust the drama to solve this new obstacle as painlessly fast and give the couple their most undeserving HE in history.

ToD strikes again lol! Someone explain to me HOW SH managed to get out of cliff-falling car barely scratched, and before strong adult like ID at that - magic? This guys is surely allergic to not only cinnamon, but also assassinations))) The whole "find the daddy" drama fell flat for many reasons, one of them being writer's clear lack of interest in making characters feel human. Take Yeom, for example - he's a male version of cackling hag witches from fairy tales. Why telling ID about DJ's identity after the first shot, except of evulz? One of these days this irrational nastiness will backfire spectacularly on him...

DJ and ID should get bromance - er, patermance? - award for their insane acting and chemistry.

Sun-woo's behavior at the wedding from wondering why all the company executives haven't arrived to telling Tae-yoon and Eun-nam to call him uncle makes me terrified that he's letting the power get to his head and will turn evil.

will Tae-yoon embrace Dong-joo as his half-brother or decide their father had the right idea after all?

Though Tae-yoon turning evil is a twist that I can get behind. Forcing a dementia patient to marry a complete stranger screams "ELDER ABUSE!"

At least it's not incest, but does Il-do not remember sleeping with Gyeong-won nine months before Sung-hyun was born?

I'll confess. I love this drama too much. It doesn't stuck much, but it gives the feels. And, this is the first Park Hyung-shik drama I'm loving.

A MDL commenter rightly guessed last week that Dongjoo was Il-do's son. And I am surprised to see it confirmed. At the crux of this drama is one man who just decided to be evil for the sake of it while doing nothing but be in the shadows. Dong-joo's paternity caused a solid friction between Deok-hee and her then late husband Sunho and, another between Sunho and Ildo - to the point where both wished their dear comrades death. Why? Jang-sun's manipulation. I ffwd any scene involving Jang-sun and Ildo on screen together. I'm tired of watching them scheming. I prefer to watch Ildo seethe alone than in a room with that man.

And about Jang-sun, the only thing formidable about that character is the actor playing the character. Heo Jun-ho makes me take Jang-sun but I don't find Jang-sun compelling at all. Instead I find him lazy. He's not going to make an impression like this if he keeps on using people instead of getting in the game once in a while. I find Il-do more compelling.

The Seonu boy🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I see that kid getting into trouble soon. He better not cross Dongjoo's path cause that is his undoing. Not even Jang-sun's tentacle will reach him.

Thank you for the recap, @mistyisles! It seems Sun-woo's mom was eager to get married to the chairman. I hope she and her son don't become bad because of the money.

After Lovely Runner, this is the first drama in this long that I have been waiting for the next episode and, hence, finally gave in and moved dark.

I am so digging this drama. It made me realise why I love K-dramas so much. It's never about the plot because as - Lord Cobol? - says, K-drama are waterfalls that always move south - so BH is not truly an exception. But boy, does it keep me on the edge.

It is the PHS magic; you can't move your eyes away from him, which makes me so happy, especially after DS's last few episodes - and he is back, glorious and giving his all.

I loved how the mind-f-ery of his lineage threw him off. The face-offs, the reactions - the sneaky manoeuvres, sensible or not, it's highly entertaining.

While watching this, I was thinking how unnecessary the entire romance plot is in this series. I think no director ever thinks of PHS without wanting to exploit his romantic version. I wish they did. He is so good at playing this brooding, off the kilter bad boy. I was almost happy at them being siblings, awful and revolting as the thought is.

A couple of things. Clearly this writer likes red herrings and I don’t think things are always as straightforward as they seem.

For the Administrator when Yeom’s goons come in the book is under the pillow but the pen is deep in the book (they make a point of showing this). When SDJ arrives after they slit his wrists to make it look like he killed himself the pen is 1/2 out of the book. So I think that Yeom told the goons to get rid of the Administrator because he knew too much anyway whether or not they have the Dandelion files on Yeom (the files die with him). Perhaps just slitting his neck would be clearly murder and not allow a denial of involvement once discovered. After the goons left the Administrator wrote the cheat map in an act of revenge because he knows whatever is in those files can take down Yeom. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Some other watchers on other sites even speculate that Gunho may be some kind of double agent since he seems rather incompetent. Maybe he is letting the Administrator live by not slitting the throat which is a quick death and instead chose the wrist knowing his odds of survival are better.

As for the 2nd DNA test. I am not certain SDJ’s friends sent it. They seem to only recently have transcribed the records and through those learned about his supposed parentage. When and where would they have gotten HID’s sample for the test? SDJ looks surprised at the test so he didn’t order it. Maybe it’s another fake one from Yeom again.

Yeom certainly played mind games on CDH and HID about kiddo SY to serve his purpose of killing of Yeo and SDJ’s mom probably for something in the Dandelion files.

Maybe everyone should take a DNA test because who knows who is really related to who. I would still love for SDJ to somehow be a secret Cha’s son like the cook’s wife gossiped and made Gong mad because then he has a right to Daesan rather than dependent on others like the illegitimate son of the baker.

Any chance Chairman Cha is faking more of his dementia to help SDJ out with Yeom? Like at the wedding when Yeom sort of showed his hand in the whole thing (or at least interest in manipulating this new wife and kid) when he helped defuse it.

I need to catch up on these episodes and damn I called it after witnessing the guilt on screen when IL Do shot DJ. He is HIS FATHER! I said it you guys I did!

And also Eid Mubarak to my lovely beanies :)
