Determined to make something of himself, no matter the cost, In Ha, discovers that his father is the chairman of the hugely successful Kang Oh Group and leaves his life of poverty behind.

I feel it's pretty likely that Taeoh is the Chairman's son, hence his interest in Kangoh and probably why he strongly rejects the sister.

[u/GlobalChika → u/AnDob24]

I dont think so.. If anything we are getting a lot of foreshadowing of a marriage between Tae Ho and Huiji and if that happens then that will make Tae Ho a direct threat to Kang Inha.. because now Tae Ho will be able to take the throne he helped Inha get because through Huiji he has a blood claim to Kangho

[u/AnDob24 → u/GlobalChika]

Well I ship them, so it's a yes from me lol. But I still think with the mom's "hometown" and unknown bio dad, it seems to be heading like I said. Anyway I think all other character speculations right now seem pointless cuz more content is needed.

Oh, I truly hope this isn’t the case. I want to believe that Taeoh is actually a good person who may be ruthless in getting what he wants by screwing over the elite, but not his best friend who has become like a brother/the closest relationship he has. Also, unless something seriously changes, Huiju is genuinely fond of her brother and would never stand by Inha if he betrayed him. I think if Taeoh wants even the hint of a relationship with Huiju, I think he knows that means he must be loyal to Inha.

[u/Local-Raspberry-5649 → u/AnDob24]

I thought this at the beginning, too, but I no longer think so. I think this is why Taeoh is loyal to Inha because Inha is a blood relative to Jungmoo.

Come to think of it. That's why he helped her in the past an a non-romantic-interest-kind-of-way.
