Wait, I’m confused. When Brandon said he wanted to expand the business, Jin said that he has no interest in betraying Shinhai and will pretend he didn’t hear what he said. That was the apartment / bed scene. Then after the lady boss slapped Jin, at the office, Jin said: I would’ve followed you anywhere/ anyway but not anymore since you betrayed me. But Jin said that he wouldn’t?!?!
Possible angsty plot points:
1. The mother shows up and wants the baby back (making Ho want to leave Korea and move back to the US so he could be close to the baby)
2. One of Mr. Kwon’s gold digging exes comes back (the one who he loved and hurt him the most)
3. They get outed and the villagers will not like it (since they’re old fashioned/ conservative and want Mr. Kwon to marry a woman)
4. Which could lead to people wanting Mr. Kwon to “resign”
5. And this could lead to the neighboring town taking advantage on that to destroy this village (they wanted Mr. Kwon to sell bits of his land to them so that they could modernize it or something like that but Mr. Kwon didn’t want to because that wouldn’t be beneficial for the elders)
Let’s overthink together haha! XD
If any or all of that were to happen, then I don’t think the author wouldn’t drag it out for too long, because they don’t usually do angst/toxicity/misunderstandings/miscommunications. Their characters and stories are always so healthy, wholesome and cute <3
This could definitely happen to make the story seem a little more “real” and not fairytale-ish but not to the extent that we would suffer and cry (out of sadness) xD
The ex has been foreshadowed/mentioned 3-4 times now, this makes me even more positive that she’ll show up and cause some angst/trouble/drama
