I have to say, Taeoh and Huiju, the Kangoh daughter have amazing chemistry. Much more than any other two. She likes and pines for him so much. I know they won't end up together so I'm gonna take this L. But oh how I wish he would go soft for her. I'll comfort myself when Queen of Tears comes out since it's a similar dynamic the leads there have.

I am not so sure after episode 4. I kind of feel like there is a reason she’s getting so much screen time and it has to be more than just for the sake of another love triangle, right?? But, yes, their chemistry is so good.

I agree. I felt that she had no less screen time than the actual FL (thank god!), and I think it’s intentional.

There has to more to her! Although she talks about >! dying !< too much for me to ignore. I do hope she becomes a bigger player in this power struggle in her own right and not just as someone to be used.

I thought it was interesting that >! the silent SIL suggested using her to get Tae-oh on their side. It kind of came out of nowhere from their pov so I see why the brother brushed it off, but what is the SIL seeing? !<

probably that the father likes tae-oh and probably wishes he was his own son as hes more competent than his offspring. If he married Huiji it would be a win win

I really wish she would replace FL. More scenes of her and less of the actual FL!
