HeartBeat friends, the Angst of Episode 13 Previews is upon us. Let us not be swayed by the mumblings of a catman choking on a furball but focus on what is really important here:
Where is the gold?
Please tuck all your prophecies neatly into the replies, so as not to spoil anything for future HeartBeat lovers.
The correct answer will win the Eye Mask of Omniscience and gloating rights over us mere mortals.
My guess is that it is buried in the garden. My first thought was under the perpetually blooming daffodils, but now I am leaning towards the dead tree.
I’ll say under the floorboards in In-hae’s attic (although you’re probably right). Also, where did you get that screenshot? It’s not in the ep. 13 preview at the end of 12 on Viki.
And I’m just going to gloat right here that I said when Hae-won invested in the guesthouse business, it was for the purpose of swindling/forcing In-hae out of the mansion.
Old Butler Joo definitely moved it. And he would have moved it in a way that would, indeed, draw Woo-hyeol and In-hae together (She said it seemed like he was bringing them together, and I think that’ll be the case). So, where would the gold be that would accomplish that goal?
Yes, the garden under the daffodils is a good guess.
In his old room/her current room is also a solid choice—there’s lots of space under the floor there because she has to go up some steps to get there.
But I feel like it’s not going to be in the mansion? Why would he have moved it just to another part of the mansion? Who would he be hiding it from? No one should have been able to move Woo-hyeol’s coffin except (I’m assuming) In-hae. Catman said—yeah, I know, unreliable narrator—that a human shouldn’t have been able to open the coffin…but could one get under it?
So, that would leave a vampire. I mean I don’t want to impugn Rose—that man-stealing so-and-so—so I won’t. I believe our trio of vampire outcasts that they’ve no idea. Man-hwi certainly didn’t take it because he’d not been to the basement, and isn’t nearly as smug about it as a gold-thief would be.
You all still with me?
“Ever heard of Plato? Aristotle? Socrates? MORONS!”
OK. How about we go where Butler Joo would have Woo-hyeol look first. That is, the simplest explanation, then. It’s in the wardrobe, under where Woo-hyeol stores (well, storeD) the scroll depicting Hae-sun’s face.
1. It took me a hot second to realize that the aspersions being cast upon Rose’s character are due to the metanarrative happening on DB right now, and not in the drama itself 😂
2. Excellent use of The Princess Bride quoting👍 Somehow, it seems an especially appropriate comparison (twoo wuv!!!!!😍)
3. Taking the wardrobe idea one step further… is the gold hidden at the tailor’s shop? Is there a clue in his suit??
I mean you think I don’t actually feel personally betrayed by the fanfic nonsense because, you know, that would be immature and silly. But, yes, that was a dig…on y’all. Rose is still a flower, both in name and in deed, and she will remain spotless in my mind until she is swayed by you all demons.
If it were at the tailor’s shop or, for that matter, the butcher’s (which makes more sense to me because of the blood connection), why don’t the jerks who work there know? Could their desire to have the neighborhood REDEVELOPED have something to do with this, because all of the buildings would be razed and Butler Joo needed to protect the gold? But surely that would also have killed Woo-hyeol…
Does that KID know? Who was it who thought the kid looked at In-hae all special when they first met…was it Mindy?
Aristotle would be proud – you’re using cold hard FACTS to build your deductive reasoning… at this point, all I can say is, everyone is suspicious, and most of my ideas don’t hold up to scrutiny. I’m ready to be surprised with the big reveal, show!
I think it was @coffeprince4eva who thought the kid looked *significant* and I did, too – but after the parrot-like amusement park performance, I think he’s just not a very good actor yet (and that’s OK, why should he be?).
They don’t know it yet, but Seon-ha is at risk of becoming second lead in Do-sik and Rose’s story. Cracks knuckles over her typewriter (vintage Remington ofc). Mwah-ha-ha.
Also, I like the clue in the suit idea just for the fun of it!
That was my guess exactly that could the clue be sewn into the suit somehow, but as for WHERE it is, I did wonder if it could be left in a bank vault somewhere, because that’s how modern people roll.
There was mention of his bank account and a black pouch in the will, so not sure if they will come into play later.
But I am also thinking it could be buried near the dead tree, it would be a shame to dig up the daffodils if the gold are indeed under the daffodils lol
I just realized I misread the instructions as “who” instead of “where.” Just for variety and to submit an outlandish claim, my vote is for: hidden inside the mansion’s old furniture set (probably by In-hae’s dad; no idea why). Final answer.
You know @hopefulromantic I wouldn’t have guessed that Inhae’s father was in a blood dungeon of Manhwi’s suburban abode, so outlandish may be the way to go.
All the good theories are taken (until the next one come along). But here goes:
– When In-hae was searching for the scroll and fell off the stool just in time for Vampie to catch her…she never did reach all the way back in the cupboard.
– Where does Hae-sun’s family money come from? Wouldn’t she be an even more delicious villainess if it’s from stolen gold?
But yeah, the butler probably did it. Perhaps he was suspicious of MW lurking around and moved it just in case before his capture.
Ooooh, yes, embarrassingly I didn’t consider how our Vampire Detectives might one day say, “The BUTLER did it!!!” They’re totally gonna say that, aren’t they??? So it’s settled. The butler did it. But WHY he did it is still not clear…he’s clearly a good guy. What could have spurred him to make the change?? I still think it’s going to be the redevelopment. Maybe that’s how Do-sik is also going to get involved on the money side—and maybe Butler Joo knew about his vampire hunter side too.
HEARTBEAT Office Pool Rules: Debate to your hearts content but you must choose only ONE answer or entry. More than one person may “bet” on the same entry.
All entries must be received and finalized by 2pm (your time zone) of the air date for Episode 13 (7 Aug). You have up until then to change your mind but after 2pm 7 Aug, no further entries will be received.
Please make sure that your bet is clear to Margo or she may toss out your entry (so picky that Margo). Margo is the final decider of any things that may need deciding.
Feel free to invite more players. A lovely imaginary Eye Mask of Omniscience is on the line!
And then we will all watch with baited breath to see if the answer is revealed in episode 13 or 14.
Finally, always remember: You may already be a winner!
This is where things currently stand with the HEARTBEAT office pool. I have likely muddled things up so choose ONLY ONE and clarify your entry by 2pm Aug 7 please:
@Elinor: Under the floorboards in Inhae’s attic room or Map to gold in the suit @fancypants: Buried in the garden under the daffodils @HopefulRomantic: In the tailor’s shop or Hidden in the old furniture of the house @attiton: That kid has it or ??? @indyfan: Hae-won’s family vault @PikPokPikPok: Map to gold in the suit
I feel handicapped by the timezone. Before I even had my morning coffee, y’all had taken the good picks! But since this is relatively low stakes (hearts have been threatened to be ripped out! lives traded for another) I shall let it pass.
When Dong Seob and Sang Hae were packing their stuff to move into the mansion, Rose asked why they always carried around so many useless things. So, the gold bars are probably mixed with those boxes and Sang Hae forgot about it after he moved them from the mansion to safeguard it.

Unless you are in Hawaii, y’all will likely hit 2pm Monday way before me, so still plenty of time to get your entry in. Thanks for playing!

I will accept “map to gold sewn into suit/in suit pocket” as an entry.
Margo of the Resilient Lip Gloss
August 5, 2023 at 8:28 PM
More than one person can bet on the same horse as it were. We can two people for “map to gold in suit” or “under the floorboard’s of In-hae’s room”.
I’m going with “under the daffodils” cause we must pick one, so “under the dead tree” remains open.
I will write up rules, shall I?

The only reason for the butler to have done it would be for the FangGang to say so, preferably while in their Sherlock getup.
It’d be the best homage to classic English detective shows ever seen in any Korean vampire rom-com. 🧐
