Why would Myung-joo sell her brothers share of the stock? Does her company need the money? She's giving up what could very well be part control over Joyland. Isn't her brother on her side? Is she alone in her plot to overthrow the OH family? This just doesn't make any sense, unless I missing something. Husband says "We can trust him (Peter)", can't they trust the brother? The brother isn't like his sister...he has no time nor desire to seek revenge against anyone, and he had no plans to go back to Korea...it was Myung-joo's idea to acquire her brother's stock in the first place. She already has her 20 percent, and was confident that she could count on Peter to be on her side....well, we'll see about that...... Incidentally, I won't confirm nor deny whether Peter has any sort of blood ties with Min-jae, but I am curious what others have to say about him, and I'd rather just ask questions......Could he be a relative, or is the fact that they share a last name just a coincidence? |

I know the truth about this guy, and so does Redstone...heheheheh....But here is some interesting facts.....If the total value of Joyland stock is USD 500 million (likely worth more....), and the Lee family owned 40 percent at one point, then that means the value of their Joyland holdings was worth USD 200 million....If Peter Kang acquired half of that, (belonging to Myung-joo's brother....) then we are talking USD 100 million...not exactly chump change....Peter Kang is loaded! Hmmmm...I think Joyland is probably worth less than $500 mil...I dunno, maybe btw $100 to 200 mil? Even then, it is still not a cheap piece or real estate! But with respect to Peter Kang, this guy does have dough, probably in the same league as In-Hwan and Dong-pyo! |

Or is she using Peter so as not to leave a paper trail to her owning the stock? I still don't get why Peter is in this at all. Guessing though the writers need a ploy to bring in a new character, who very well can be MJ's father. |

Guessing though the writers need a ploy to bring in a new character, who very well can be MJ's father. Apparently, Myung-joo herself doesn't have the personal funds to actually acquire the stock outright, so she asked her husband if he could finance the purchase....James or whatever his name is said it would not be a good investment (perhaps because of Myung-joo's behind-the-scenes activities against Joyland....) Apparently, James is out of the loop about Myung-joo's real motives, and I don't think he would agree to them if he were to find out...and Myung-joo's does not feel her brother would help out, since he doesn't even want to visit Korea, much less participate in a revenge scheme against In-hwan....This is really only btw her and the Oh family, including Min-jae..... As for the possibility that Peter Kang may be Min-jae's dad, it is not up to me to say...but if he is, he has a lot of explaining to do...like where did he get all that money? . And why would he buy up all that Joyland stock, when it has been determined not to be good investment? It is too early for me to say who this guy really is, and what his game plan is....but I was wondering...if Peter Kang is the father, why is he still a shadowy figure at the present time? A concerned father with a lot of money would have been looking for his son a long time ago, and want to meet with him, not remain invisible...... |

Well, whoever he is, we don't even know if Kang is his original last name...Peter Kang? What if he's not even Korean in the first place.....

Well...there is also the possibility that Peter Kang is an uncle...kind of like the situation of Hyun-kyu's Aunt Myung-joo coming back from the U.S., now we have Min-jae's rich uncle coming back from America, as well....There are so many different scenarios....take your pick!

So now that there is a thread for "spoilers and informed speculation," would the remaining threads be limited to non-spoilers and misinformed speculation?  Ah, it is perfectly okay to speculate here as long as one is wrong at the end. |

Would discussing and analyzing the details of a phone conversation or of a scene from an episode that has been televised here, and speculating as to what that meant constitute an "informed speculation?"
That is the case with Peter Kang!

Perhaps most people would have not caught on to that phone conversation, unless they were serious fans of OMR. Those who did would have had their brain cells working overtime trying to understand who that guy was and how he fit into this story....And on top of that, his last name is Kang and he is rich! I haven't seen the future episodes on soompi, so I don't know anything else, but it is not unreasonable to think that this guy could be Minjae's father....He may have been poor once, but he could have won 100,000,000 dollars playing powerball, bought a used car dealership, and invested a hefty sum in Joyland stock. Well, this does not constitute "informed speculation" since I am only guessing.

Actually, even if he were none of the above, he could still cause turmoil...Looking at another scenario, I wonder if this guy could be an old enemy of In-hwan, out for revenge because of something that happened a long time ago........ |

Well, if anybody in this story qualifies as an "old enemy" of In-hwan, probably Myung-joo would fit the bill, although not in a general sense, since it seemed like no major or even minor conflict occurred btw them during the last 20 years, and it was only recently that she began making a move against In-hwan and Joyland. One of the most interesting characters in this entire series...no, not the "evil" person that some viewers make her out to be...I don't want her to succeed because of the innocent people (Min-jae, Hyung-kyu, Hye-ran, etc...) who would be hurt, but if In-hwan were her only target and victim, it wouldn't seem so bad..... |

I have to agree, her hatred for In-hwan is perfectly justified...boy, did he reap the rewards thanks to his first wife's family! |
