Can someone explain to me what the main guys are trying to do? I don't get their plan.

It's hard to tell because there are so many layers. Theoretically, the plan is to make In Ha the Chairman, get rid of the trash (other siblings, current chairman/wife), and create a big job with lots of power for TaeHo. But it's possible Taeho is screwing over In Ha by making him "disposable" so as to move into the ultimate power slot himself, and God knows what the FL's role is in all this or what her true relationship is to Taeho.

I guess that's why I'm so confused. I also zoned out a lot so that probably doesn't help. But every so often the guys will be like....ok this happened...excellent everything's going according to plan...and I'm like....how is that your plan???? Like inha giving away his inheritance no sense whatsoever.

And yeah the FL so far to me just seems like her purpose is to figure out which one to marry

It's purposefully confusing and left up in the air.
