The first half of today’s episode was so cute but it seemed like it didn’t transition well to the second half. I wanted more cute beach scenes, not office politics.
I’m confused about a few things:
1. Why did the chauffer try to kill Do Min Ik if he was only sent to get the USB? Was he actually trying to kill him?
2. Why did Gal Hee’s siblings crash her date with Min Ik? At first I thought they might be trying to get Min Ik and Gal Hee to spend the night together but they ended up all staying together.
3. Why did Do Min Ik withdraw his CEO application?

I wish I was Gi Dae Ju. Everyone wanted to give him free stuff today 😄

    1) He was never trying to kill him. Do Min Ik getting injured was purely an accident.
    2) I think they were just trying to take advantage a little (maybe get some free food, lol) and also be a little bit nosy. That’s apparently something siblings do, although I wouldn’t know as I’m an only child. It was kind of annoying to watch for me personally, but dramas seem to really enjoy writing nosy siblings, so what can you do?
    3) He withdrew his application in exchange for the secretaries getting the chance to defend themselves and bargain for better treatment at the company/permanent employment. Which I’m not sure I trust his uncle to follow through on, but at least Do Min Ik is attempting to make a selfless gesture. I can appreciate that.

    I think we probably all wished we were Dae Ju this episode, lol. Free buildings for everybody!

      Thanks for responding!
      1. I know Min Ik falling over the rail and getting face blindness was accidental but didn’t the chauffer pull a knife on him? To me, that looked like he wanted to hurt/kill him.
      2. That makes sense 😄
      3. Oh yeah. I forgot about that. I wonder if he has a back up plan so he can still become CEO. He would be a much better CEO than his evil uncle.

        I think he only meant to scare/injure him, not almost kill him or cause him any serious damage, but the situation got away from him before he could stop it (as it will when you’re attempting to steal from someone and have no valuable skills in that arena). I’m saying this, of course, based his own recent statements about not meaning to seriously hurt Min Ik. Before that reveal, yeah, it appears like he was trying to kill him.

        And I’m pretty sure Min Ik’s looking at this as a permanent thing. He gives up being CEO, the secretaries get their jobs back and permanent employment, and then he marries Gal Hee, they move to the ocean, and open a popular mom and pop restaurant. (He probably hasn’t thought this far ahead, but that’s okay, because I’ve already done it for him.)

        3. Min-Ik told Dae Ju that he had a plan, and Dae Ju seems to be the type of guy who would want Min-Ik to be the CEO. So I’m guessing we haven’t seen the whole plan pan out yet.

          I hadn’t thought of that possibility, but that makes sense.

          I hope so. I’m sure the secretaries will be on his side now too. Hopefully if they all work together, he can become CEO.

            Obviously, I won’t be upset if he becomes CEO. But it would be nice to see a drama where the chaebol ends up leaving the corporate world and doing something else with his life and being genuinely happy and content about it. Would be a nice change.

            Yeah, that would be nice. It seems like someone was asking about dramas like that (where the chaebol ends up leading a normal life) and there were a few but I can’t remember what they were 😅

            One of them might have been Secret Garden…

            I tried watching Secret Garden and couldn’t get through it. The male lead drove me nuts. He was too controlling for me. Everything else about it was really good though.

          I think the suit means if Min Ik can’t be president, he’s going to fulfill noona’s promise and make Dae Ju president.

    I didn’t get the post-sex/morning-after scenes I wanted from Dae-Ju and Veronica today but their entire exchange basically proved they’re both rabbits. Haha The sex was so good she wanted to give him a building?! Dae-Ju also refused the car because biking strengthens his thighs?! I died. 🤣🤣🤣
