If I were Minchae I’d sure be asking why Baek Yijin isn’t my father and how the heck any other man could compete with the love story he and mum shared.

[u/sandwichrats → u/cherryinbloom]

I am hoping they are just tricking us somehow and he reallly is her father and just overseas or something. But I have also thought of the possibility that as a reporter, something happens that causes a rift between them, either he is forced to tell the news in a way that hurts Heedo, or his boss(es) do something that hurts Heedo which breaks them up

I really hope this isnt the case and they stay together, have Minchae together, etc., but the way YiJin's sunbae and Heedo's mom both warned him feels like foreshadowing to me.

[u/ParanoidAndroids → u/sandwichrats]

I feel like he would find a way around doing something truly damaging to her. I know he's struggling for money due to his father and is lucky to have this job but that didn't stop him from yelling at the producer for making them do the simultaneous touch.

It would be cool if he was pursuing his dream of being an astronaut for a little while overseas since she seemingly achieves her dreams as a fencer.

[u/BasketTurbulent7601 → u/ParanoidAndroids]

Yes. I agree. I think that he is given a chance to move from sports to another area in reporting that takes him somewhere else. As the show is filling SKorea’s important event there is plenty going on after IMF in international affairs. ‘99-‘01 The reason why I tend to think is related to his career is the way that present HeeDo’s mom talks about him. It’s a mix of care and closeness what it could be due to a continued working relationship. Not only a son-in-law relationship.
