The stepmom hired Mieum's dad to kill Jitae, but looks like after he failed he ran away. And the stepmom was scared that he will expose her as the person who wanted to kill Jitae. But then he (Mieum's dad) appeared in front of them (as I see it was right before ch 1 in the timeline, in ch 24), so the stepmom ordered Jian to kill him. But Jian didn't kill the dad, instead used him to blackmail Mieum, because he knew that Mieum would be a key character to bring Jitae down.
Weekly plot explaining for those who care about it, and not here only for the hot guys lol
The father of Jitae wants to leave the company to Jitae, but he has a stepmom and a half brother (Jian), who wants to get the company. So Jian sends spies to Jitae's house regularly to find something that can bring Jitae down.
Then Mieum arrives to the house, because his father was kidnapped by Jian, so he needs to do what Jian says. But turns out Jitae and Mieum has known each other since they were young: Jian's mom (step mom) ordered Mieum's father to kidnap and kill Jitae when they were kids, but in the end Mieum saved him (which caused him a hit on his head and now he doesn't remember anything from that time, and he doesn't know who Jitae is), but Jitae instantly recognized Mieum, as soon as he saw him in like ch2 (in the beggining he was a bit sus of Mieum, but he soon realized that Mieum doesn't remember him, that's when he started to be nice to him)
Mieum loves his dad and would do anything for him, so Jitae knows that it would hurt Mieum to know the truth of the past. So now he is just trying to help Mieum find his dad and run away.
But in the meantime Mieum starts to remember the past, but for some reason he knew Jitae as Go Hajoon (He is the owner of the bar where Jitae went frequently to get prostitues, like the one in ch one. But since he met Mieum again he didn't go there and his stepmom/brother started to get suspicious that Jitae has a regular partner. So in ch 24 he went to the bar again) . We don't know yet why Jitae wore Hajoon's nametag. I guess Hajoon gave it to him, so the kidnapper won't know who to take, but we don't know yet. Looks like Hajoon was worried about Jitae.
We also have secretary Jin, who is the secretary of the stepmom and Jian, but looks like he secretly works for Jitae and helps him find Mieum's father. We don't know yet why he works for him, but they mentioned that he has been waiting for this moment for a long time, so maybe he has some hate towards the stepmom.
Basically that's the story now, let me know if you have some questions or details that you don't understand.
Edit: I just realized there is a mistake in it, the evil stepmom is the aunt of Jitae (based on around ch 14), and the fight is between her and Jitae to decide who will inherit the company. This lady is tge stepmom of Jian, as Jian was born from a mistress.
So all in all she is an evil stepmom lol
