two points: 1) There is no question in my mind that the second son is the stepmother's son with the Golfing Fool. 2) I think there's more revenge in her mind than just getting all his money; remember in the first or second episode when she said to herself, "I cried tears of blood," and hinted that she was going to make whoever do the same? She wants to rub someone's nose in something. Probably taking control of the business is just the first step.
P.S. Did you catch the phone conversation last night or the previous episode (last night was eppie #9 in Chicago) in which she talked to someone on the phone, someone obviously from the loan company, and said to let the auction of Hee-soo's family's house go ahead? Ve-ry interesting.

I believe the elder son was responsible for watching his half-brother when the ice accident happened. This is why his step mom hates him and wants revenge. She thinks the elder son as a little boy intentionally hurt his little brother.

I think they alluded to that early in the show, but the axe she grinds seems to go further back than that (at least to me).

I think so too, especially because the first son said that even when the second son was a baby, before whatever accident happened, she wouldn't let him near the second son.
Her evil plot intrigues me, especially since she isn't necessarily a bad woman. I toyed with the idea for a while that her situation was exactly like Hee-soo's. Well, she obviously is married to a man in order to manipulate something, but I had fun imagining that her brother, to whom she is always speaking on the phone about her husband's property (the brother seems to be the one that took it once she got it away from her husband) forced her to marry him for something. Nice circularity.

The evil step mom will make sure that son#1 will be without inheritance-maybe she wants it all to go to her mentally disabled son.

The evil step mom will make sure that son#1 will be without inheritance-maybe she wants it all to go to her mentally disabled son. You know, that might be the point of all her machinations. That's a very interesting theory, indeed. I am confused about her. She seems to have been planning some sort of revenge for a very long time, because the younger son is clearly hers so they've been living together as a family for many, many years now. Has she been working toward whatever it is for all that time? I'm not too sure about her motives toward her husband, either. I watched last night (Tuesday), and when he said that he hoped his older son's fiancee would bring honor to their family, she looked thunderstruck. As though it mattered to her. It will be fun to see this unspool. Bo

More like she wants to be the #1 inheriter using the handicapped son as a front. I thought it was strange too, although maybe she fears that the father might oppose He-soo because of her humble origins and then all her efforts to marry Jin-kook off would have been to waste.

And who is the person she periodically give updates to over the phone?

That's her brother, as far as I've been able to figure out. He's the one who's receiving the money she's funneling to him and doing ... something ... with it.

I also think that it's her brother but I also think that the brother may be ill. The brother may be spending the money on treatment for his illness.

Well, she did ask that person about his/her health, but that question gets asked all the time . . . along with, "Are you eating well?"
