Don't trust anyone, basically

Spoilery and very long opinions about this episode. It was quite good and angsty and there was little development of the storylines. Argh, can't wait till we find some secrets. Everyone isn't trustworthy on this drama. Maybe just Mo Ne and Woo Hyun. lol.

Jae Wan/Mo Ne: it's tangible how much she wants to hate him because of what she discovered, but her actions betray her. She loves him too much to hate him, and even if she hates him, there is still enough love in her disdan towards him. So it's a lose/lose war. And our JW understood that the situation is like this. He's provoked her less during this episode, perhaps because he isn't able to keep his act up anymore or he thinks he deserves her harsh words after what he's done to her father. I am happy MN is taking a stand and they looked more like chairwoman and employee. At the same time since everyone supposed that CJW and AMN dated and broke up, it's like her harshness is taken as anger towards an ex lover and not as a director's firmness against an employee she doesn't agree with. Ugh, this is a tiny problem. If nobody had known/suspected about JW and MN being in love, right now she would be taken more seriously by the staff. At least Woo Hyun tried to justify this as MN and JW trying to separate love from work. Anyway, glad that MN still protects her man after everything he's tried to put her through. Like I said, she's divided between her head that says "hate that disgusting man" and her heart that says "protect that man you love". And in the end her heart won and she's got the confirmation JW is trying to help from behind the scenes (literally this ep lmao). I also loved the scene after MN broke Bella. She cried saying that she wants to fix him but she doesn't know how to because he might die and she doesn't want him to die. That scene showed how she is aware of the situation going on. JW wants to be with her but he cannot. She realized she broke his heart and the only thing she wants to do it repair it but he won't let her. Gee, this girl has a never ending war in herself.

As for the VP, it's evident how much he'd want to kill JW but at the same time he needs him. Not only because of his abilities but also because Cha Jae Wan is his scapegoat. When something goes wrong because of him, it's always JW the one to be punished. The VP has never ever punished himself for his wrongdoings, he simply projected his guilt over our poor gm so he could let it go. It's a psychological mechanism that the VP uses because CJW looks so good and perfect at his job besides him, that he needs to throw his dirt on him so his social order can be restored. During this episode it was evident how much the VP is scared to death that CJW may betray him. When JW was putting the sword into the box he was very careful and on his toes and didn't notice JW's diverted expression and desire to dig that weapon into his heart. JW's profound desire translated into an illusion show, the only way for him to perform that deadly action to the VP. As much as JW believes he is bad, he wouldn't do that for real the same way Hamlet didn't kill Claudius because he is a human filled with doubts and let's face it. At the end of the day uri gm is also an affectionate man, he wouldn't want to add another death on his shoulders even though he wants the VP to be gone forever. So JW prepares another trick. You can tell that he's thought about it when he comes into the room and touched the speaker as to say "Please, do your job well." lol. And he succeeded. After all, the VP is just a clown in this show. And his ashaming performance was enough to make his family disappointed. I've realized that the VP and his family are a lot alike the boss from "The Godfather". The boss has always protected his family too much and especially his daughter, but in the end his wife leaves him because he is what he is and he remains alone. On that movie there's also a stepson who is better than the boss' sons that here would be CJW. Speaking of JW again, then it's the VP that gives JW his name while there's the funeral of the gangster. He says "The murderer Jayden is dead. You are Cha Jae Wan now." And he is also sure that a good family would adopt Ju Wan... mmmh. He also gives him the gun he used to shot the gangster as a warning to never forget this. Way to scare an already scared child and turn him into an emotionless and broken man. Also, he is scared of Baek Mi Yeon that I'm supposing is our very manager with a 2007 Rihanna haircut. lol. Who wrote that note? BMN? CJW? It's evident he believes she is dead. So if it's really BMN and not a sister, he is unaware she is the same person from 30 something years ago.

Manager Baek and Roman: BMN keeps being fishy. I felt RL uneasy around her when she admonished him for having used the hallway of the staff instead of the other entrance. He always keeps his hands below his belt and in body language this should mean he is on anticipation mode. He might be waiting for something to happen or he's just anxious. We don't know how his lunch with MN went and if the fact that he said she was going to give him all of her shares was true. Because I don't think MN would be this stupid... right? Giving up her shares would mean lose any possibility to act for the hotel. Basically lose. I wonder if Roman is also playing a game of his own.

Last but not last... CK and MN scene. I had written my thoughts yesterday before I watched the episode and I was right to say that CK wants to see that MN is worth for JW to risk his life. I hope she'll see she is despite she's acting as if she dislikes CJW. She wanted to test the waters with AMN. CK won't do anything to JW besides be his confidante and listen to him if he wants to talk about stuff he can't tell MN. She isn't pititful and desperate to run after him when she is aware that he doesn't love her and probably never will. She won't hurt MN either because otherwise JW won't ever forgive her and she doesn't want to lose his friendship either since it's the last thing that remains between them.
