Two things I loved in these episodes:
The video gift: when grandpa was trying to remember who Dong-ju was. It really is a testament of good acting when he finally did. You could see the light in his eyes when he said those words, like it was the greatest thing to happen to him.

No 2. When Dong-ju got paid back by Young-ki and Dong-ju made a statement that the money he used to pay back the loan to secure his position as Chairman could have actually saved Sooyang Card. So ultimately, it shows what disqualifies the children. They were only after the title of Sooyang, not the company and making it the best. That moment was very delicious to watch and I hope Young-ki realised why his father chose Dong-ju over him.

I never really saw Do-Joon and the Grandpa being real ennemies. They always kept a relationship even if when Do-Joon made moves on Soonyang. They always respected each others.

It must be so hard to see yourself or someone who love declining like that. Grandpa was so strong, his mind was sharp but so his declin was hurtful to watch.

Lee Sung-Min will be missing in the last episodes. He was so good.

I was surprised to see Do-Joon with an engagement ring. They never showed their relationship except when it was connected to Soonyang... I understand it's not a romance drama but Hyeon-Min and Seong-Jun act more like a couple 😅

Thank you, @mistyisles, for the weecap! Just finished episode 14. I really love Do-joon's memory for remembering 'past' history, even though he should have been very busy at that time making a living for his family as Hyun-woo. To use all those memories as a guide in building Miracle Investment, too. I didn't understand why Do-joon was left out of grandfather's will but I think that's because he promised to buy Soonyang and make it better. If he had inherited the company like Sung-jun, he might not care for it the same way as he cares if he had paid for it with his hard work.

I cried during so many moments of these episodes.

I know someone who's slowly losing their loved one to Dementia and it's sad to see so I can imagine how devastating it must be for the person actually experiencing it. When Chairman Jin said "let me just be me for 2 hours", I felt that.
And not only was he going through his illness but the further insult to injury that he had absolutely no one in his family he could trust and rely on. Granted, he brought that on himself with the environment he raised them in and fostered but still, to be dependent on others and not having real people to trust is still a tough one.

I don't know where I saw it but someone totally called the matriarch being the one to have ordered the hit. That moment just made me think all these spouses really deserve each other. She was just as ruthless as her husband and then justifies it by saying it was for her family.

The moment between the mom and Do Jun's dad was another moment that made me teary eyed. It's a weird one; for years she had to take care of someone who was a walking reminder of infidelity and truthfully, not all/many people can do it yet for all intents & purposes, she tried to be as motherly to him as she could. Even if it was for appearances, she did her best and I liked that he acknowledged it and could kind of relate to her from a parental perspective. I even liked that he said that he made himself even more of a black sheep because he could see in her eyes how she felt under the surface. I know it wasn't fair or nice or right that a child had to put up with all the ostracizing or have the weight of adults' choices on their shoulders but for these people, it was the best they could do. That's why this is a weird one for me. I get it on some level but it's still sad and painful. Lesser folks would probably have handled everything WAY worse (Hwa Young for example).

The reaction to the will was an interesting one. People would've been mad if he had gotten anything and then they were suspicious why he didn't get anything. Which leads me to another moment that made me teary: the video will recording. The fact that he left him nothing at least in part because he had absolute faith in Do Jun's abilities and then how happy he was remembering Do Jun as the grandson who was most like him. Oh my heart!

So, we're coming up on whatever happened to Do Jun and I wonder who is going to be responsible for it. I'm also wondering what other real world events will be included or mentioned.

I didn't remember the granddaughter at all and now I'm wondering if her sole purpose is to be smarter than her parents.

And I didn't remember Seong Jun having kids.

And I'm confused about slush funds. See, I thought it was illegal but everyone seems so proud and open about having them as if it's part of the rich person starter pack.

We have to say goodbye to Grandpa this week, and I was surprised by how emotional I was with the whole ordeal. I didn’t like many of Grandpa’s decisions and we could all agree that he was a heartless and hard-to-please man most of the times, but I still winced at the way his children reacted to the news of his illness.

There was something so demeaning in the way everyone scooped down like a vulture the moment medical situation declawed the Chairman they always feared. It left me feeling pretty disgusted, even with all the horrible things I’ve seen them done all these eps. Do-jun might’ve been the one doing the hardest betrayal back when he still hid behind Se-hyun’s Miracle, but he was also brave enough to own up to his action and confront Chairman Jin face-to-face that despite his rage, his Grandpa couldn’t help but respect his savvy. That’s clearly not the situation this time around. Grandpa’s offspring only wanted to strip him bare in the most humiliating way possible, leaving him no dignity as a fellow businessman, and I loathed that.

I’m just glad that Do-jun was the one staying beside his Grandpa during this period. He understood the power of humiliation, how it cut through your sense of self like no other experience. He was also an old hand at handling betrayal, especially a cruelly personal one like Grandma being the instigator behind the murder attempt. His past life as Hyun-woo has prepared him to be the perfect confidante for the shaken Chairman, and once more, I marveled at the great irony life bestowed on these characters.

I always wondered what actually made Do-jun like Chairman Jin despite himself, and then the incident with Grandma put things into perspective. Among this messed up family, where everyone competed to act like two-faced person while backstabbing each other behind their polite smiles, Chairman Jin was refreshingly unapologetic about his less savory traits. He never pretended to be someone he wasn’t, and I think that’s something Do-jun could respect and actually found relieving.

Which was why I was so glad that Do-jun got to have that lovely closure with his Grandpa. Yes, the explanation behind his changed will was nice. I love the fact that while everyone speculated on him betraying even his favorite grandson, he was actually showing his love by not giving Do-jun anything. Because Grandpa respected him too much as a fellow businessman and trusted Do-jun’s ability to get the shares he need by himself to eventually buy Soonyang with his own hands. But it was that candid expression of love as he declared Do-jun as his most favorite grandson and that genuine laugh that left me teary. What a precious memory.

I literally stood up and clapped after these 2 scenes, both close-up of Lee Sung Min's face during the 1)elevator scene - you could actually see combination of rage, embarassment, self-pity , gratefulness and love for his grandson. Phenomenal acting.

And 2) the video will - so tragic but also heartwarming.

Have not watched Lee Sung Min in anything before but I am now a solid fan.

All the actors, even SJK but mostly the veteran actors are impressive as well. What an ensemble cast!

Just throwing my theory out there.

I always wondered how the writer is going to explain the whole reincarnation/time-travel plot that got Do-jun to this position. But then, I also realized that with the story already chock full of interesting plot progression and character growth, I’m probably not going to be too upset by the lack of explanation (I’ve learnt my lesson about expecting too much from a fantasy plot in K-dramas).

And then I thought, what if this was never about anything fantastical? What if this tale was simply a long and elaborate visual critics of the dichotomy of the two polar opposite group, the rich and the poor? What if this was a thorough explanation on how broken the current system was? That if we, hypothetically, put a person with the same quality (knowledge, ability, tenacity, insight, and temperament) in two different lives, they would be hard-pressed to change their respective wealth status given the barrier from the broken system. That if we, hypothetically, put someone with hindsight and empathy for the poor in the rich group to improve the system somehow, being the lone hero inside the broken system was practically impossible with all the pressures existed, and even the hero eventually has to play by the skewed rules itself.

It’s kind of depressing.

@candiland, you were right HUZZAH!!!

This is a special tribute to Lee Sung Min, my God what a truly truly SUBLIME performance. The elevator scene and the scene where he is redoing his will in the video, broke me. When Do Jun started crying, I was done. Just tears. These episodes were so so so Good. It has been a honest to goodness pleasure watching this drama, although it isn't over, what a ride it has been.

You’re so right, @mistyisles, Do-joon and Yang-cheol’s relationship has been so fascinating to watch as it evolves and becomes more complex. In lots of ways it follows the same path that a lot of children experience growing up - the realization that the older person is not a two-dimensional character, but a complicated, ambiguous, flawed person who doesn’t always have good reasons for things and doesn’t always act in a predictable way. But add to that layers of feeling like you're not really related to this person, that you take after this person the most, and that they are your greatest ally and biggest obstacle. It's been beautiful to watch.

The other relationship I find the most fascinating is Do-joon’s with Min-young. They don’t always get lots of screentime, but it’s always impactful. She’s his conscience in a lot of ways, and I think he feels drawn to her in part because of her strong moral compass when he’s mostly dealing with people who don’t have one at all. But that inevitably means that he’s going to disappoint her at every turn. I’m really interested to see what decisions he’ll make going forward. It’s clear that he cares about her, but not as much as getting his revenge, and she’s right that it won’t stop when he gets what he wants because then he’ll need to hold onto it. It’s Edmond Dantes all over again.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the show. But 14 episodes in, I don't know what the hero (anti-hero?) wants. Initially, I thought this was about revenge against those who wronged him, but it increasingly felt that he coveted Soonyang for its own sake, as opposed to acquiring to dissolve it. To me, his relationship with the chairman became too personal, that now it does feel like Dojun is a grandson in an inheritance battle as opposed to an outsider vying for control.
It is odd. I wondered at the end of ep 10 if Hyeonwoo is in fact patient 0, or if it's possible Dojun is really Dojun, and he was reborn poor before he was reborn rich. Otherwise, other than the few reflections about poverty, I don't understand why Hyeonwoo is necessary to Dojun's motivations. It's not like we got city hunter style takedowns for each sibling and Jin Seongjun.

Also side note, ive been super uncomfortable with the romance plot. Dojun is technically almost 60 years old..

I have nothing new to add except that I'm glad there are only two episodes left. For me, the show will not be the same without Lee Sung Min. Chairman Jin's interactions with Do-joon were the show’s driving force.
I read an interview with LSM that called him the "King of Bromance," and he said he's more suited for bromance than romance. With his brilliant acting skills, he could do anything he puts his mind to, but based on Misaeng and Reborn Rich, he might be right. Whatever the case, he's incredible. The subtleties he brought to the Chairman's character as he aged throughout the episodes were brilliant.

What a fantastic performance by LSM. The complexity of the relationship between him and DJ was really well portrayed. His final lesson for DJ was superb. Leaving DJ out of his will resulted in us seeing g DJ lose his composure for the first time and it was fantastic to see. DJ, despite having all the future knowledge that he has, still cannot control the vagaries of human nature. I love it and it keeps me on the edge of my seat.
