Can someone tell me how Jin-Kook's mom died and how she was related to Jin-Kook's step-mom? They mentioned it in the one today, but I missed the last couple of episodes so can someone help me catch up?

Supposedly Jinkook's stepmom poisoned his mom so that she could marry his dad and get revenge on their family.
(long and complicated story follows)
Jinkook's mom's family was rich and owned a company. One of her father's employees was engaged to her. One problem: he already had a wife and two kids. He pretended to be interested in marriage until her dad died and left the business in his control. Then he took all of Jinkook's mom's family's assets back to his own family. Jinkook's mom got really mad at this point. Jinkook's dad, who was a delivery boy for the company, and who was also favored by Jinkook's grandma as a possible husband for his mom now that the other guy ran away, was enlisted to "scare off" Youngsil's dad. He hired some guy, and instead of scaring them off and getting the money back, he ran their car off a cliff. Apparently Youngsil's parents had owed money to Jinkook's mom (I don't get why since they stole all her money in the first place) and when they died, their assets were confiscated to be paid to her. Youngsil, Younggoo, and Mr. Park (who was sort of a foster child) were left destitute (and Younggoo was paralyzed by the accident) and they blamed Jinkook's mom. So, years later, Youngsil got herself hired at Jinkook's mom's new loan company (she apparently wasn't recognized, go figure) as a secretary. She became a helper around the house and supposedly poisoned Jinkook's mom to death, after which she married Jinkook's dad.
I may be hazy on a couple points, so if anyone knows better, feel free to correct my story.

I always thought that the theory about ESM's having poisoned or otherwise killed Jin-kook's mother was just wild conjecture on his part. He and Hee and maybe Eun-soo speculated about it, but I have the impression that we sort of ran with it more than any of the characters did. 'Cuz no one ever mentions the idea on the show anymore.

I think Jin-kook's mother was inlove with Young-shil's dad. Young-shil had said that Jin-kook's mom was just a naive teenager back then inlove with a man who didn't want her. Young-shil's dad promised to marry Jin-kook's mom. But after JK's mom's dad died, Young-shil's dad left Jin-kook's mom as well as taking all her assets, like Hachiue said. So as Young-shil was growing up, she was aware of this woman (Jk's mom) being in her life every now and then. Both women hated each other basically.

Okay, let me get this straight (impossible though it seems).
1) Jin-kook's mom was engaged to the father of Young-sil, but did not know he was already married with kids.
2) Young-sil's dad stole all of Jin-kook's mom's money.
3) Another suitor, Jin-kook's dad, hired someone to scare Young-sil's dad.
4) Instead, he orphaned Young-sil and her adopted brother and her real brother, who was also maimed.
5) That murderer got away with it?
6) Jin-kook's mom was awarded Young-sil's family's money.
7) Young-sil later joined the company of Jin-kook's parents, wormed her way into the family and supposedly knocked off Jin-kook's mom.
8) Then she married Jin-kook's dad and followed in her father's larcenous footsteps.
Right?

Something in this storyline doesn't make sense - oyu're kidding ... NOTHING in the storylline makes much sense because the writers are trying to cover too many subjects at the same time - like trying to make a long rope from a bowl of vermicelli. As the show mercifully comes to an end, it has ESM Young shil still being somewhat devious; GD/DD still being dumb and golfing; HS's mom still trying to control her son Eun soo; HS being a mother and now a career-woman(?) - Jae Hee a movie star (?); Grandma has gone all the way around the bend now ... one of the fastest cases of senile dementia on record ... he list goes on. Will anyone miss watching this show? You know, the way most of us felt about Yellow Hankerchief or OMR? I no longer rush home to watch it .. besides, I have noticed that the first part of the current show is a repeat of the last part of the previous show ... LOL ... it's deja vu all over again! and for me, once is plenty! Slan ...

Thanks, hachiue. That was really surprising and confusing... But when Jinkook's dad found that out, shouldn't he have done something? I would be really mad if I found out someone close to me was poisioned to death by someone who was also close to me.

Well ... he kinda did something. First he fainted and went into a coma, then he screamed bloody murder at his wife for a while, and then he got back together with her. She must have some cool chick mojo; I want to learn her tricks for seducing men!
Joking aside, DD has acted completely irrationally and hopefully is starting to realize it.
It is true, however, that the poisoning was conjecture never proven by Jinkook, but since he was right about everything else, I'm inclined to believe this bit about it. Especially since ESM was taking care of his mom before she died.
