WARNING: If you haven’t watched this episode, please be aware of spoiler from reading this article.
Can this be love? After being jealous for the past few episodes, our Dokgo Mate seems to be prepared to own Bo Tong as his one true love! But wait.. after choosing to go to Choi’s concert over Ma Te Oppa’s Christmas dinner date invitation, seems like Bo Tong has started to have feelings for Team Manager Choi. Just when Ma Te has started to show his true feelings? Oh no!
“So this is what it feels to be troubled?” Bo Tong seems to have forgotten how much she wanted to sleep over to Ma Te’s house and declined yet another invitation to live there! Is this the end of unrequited ten years of love for Ma Te?
But as the story goes on, secrets are revealed and that includes the secret behind Ma Te’s birth and real identity. Who will be his allies? Who will be his enemies? Can his half-brother accept him? Will there be another ex-wife and brother-in-law scandal for Hong Yoo-Ra. If you think that you can guess what will be the twist and turns in this drama.. Think again..
The Christmas date that was postponed finally took place. Ma Te Oppa seems to be jealous enough to tell Bo Tong how sad he is that Christmas Eve and cute sorry from Bo Tong is not enough to calm his heart. Good thing the credit card is here to save the day!
A new character enters the story- the direct descendant of MG group, Author Kang Min aka Na Kwang Yu, who may have plans to ruin the conglomerate to take revenge. Will he be another ally? or another enemy?
A new plan is brewing up. The secret behind David Choi’s personality and past is slowly unfolding as well. While at the same time our Ma Te is slowly realizing how he really feels about Bo Tong. (I just hope that Bo Tong will still feel the same for him by the time he realized that, well this is their story so it should be right? :))
Hong Yoo-Ra asks Na Hong Ran to apologize but as expected Na Hong Ran was strong-headed enough to just laugh at Hong Yoo-Ra orders. Little did she know that Hong Yoo-Ra was already planning something against her hidden son to take her revenge.
The confrontation between Ma Te and Choi about how Ma Te really feels for Bo Tong ends up in a conclusion. Ma Te loves her.
Just after the quick realization. A box of family pizza was delivered right in front of his eyes containing $50,000. The heiress of SS Group Kang Wi Ji wants to buy him for dinner. At the same time, MG Vice President started yet again another hurdle for Ma Te to overcome: Cancelling the shop’s contract at the same time Ma Te’s invitation to attend the year-end party.
Kang Wi Ji finds her match. Ma Te is indeed different from others with hands slipping too much 🙂 But then again, Ma Te was successful in making her agree to come with him as his passport to the party. It’s the first meeting between Ma Te and his father, and with Choi as a chaebol.
[END]
So much was brought out in Ep 10… and it definitely left us with a great cliff hanger! David Choi and Dokgo Mate attend the MG group function and face Na Hong Ran… And their father. Sort of makes one wonder where this story will go next! LOL
So exciting! Beautiful Man, fighting!
Thanks hershey for this recap! Besides getting a bit distracted by how JKS turned into a very gorgeous CEO in this episode, i’m pleasantly surprised with how the ‘family issue’ progresses. Can’t wait to dig more about this ‘secret’. However, I hope in Ep 11 there’ll be a ‘lesson learned’ closure with the lovely MyoMi :).
thank you for the recap Hershey, the story getting more and more intense to the family big secret. Can’t wait for the next episode

Hope u read this. Found LI bel ami thread a few days ago as someone promoted in gooddrama. Learned something about you after that. I just wanna wish you fully recover soon. Last year, I hv experienced similar – less effect – like yours. I know how it felt. Sorry couldnt say this in the thread…

Again thanks alot for every things.i proud of you and yr nice group♡
Thanks for the recap Hershey. When they showed the rich girl in a blue sweater I half expected her to start blowing up into a blueberry lol.
Nothing David did surprised me, manipulation, back story drenched in self pity, rivalry with Ma Te. Bo Tong continues to disappoint further. After walking out on Ma Te twice in one night she makes fun of him the next morning for being embarrassed about his behavior. She is lucky that all he did was stiff her for the bill, a lesser man would have beaten the crap out of her for that. I in no way condone violence, I just know people like that and there are lines you just don’t cross. Luckily for Bo Tong Ma Te appears to be more of a “fragile ego” than a “step one everybody to get ahead” type narcissist.
For someone who is so concerned about and such a good support and friend to Ma Te her response to overhearing Ma Te’s back-story with Yoo Ra is just inappropriate. Instead of being concerned that her friend has been denied his birthright his whole life and how awful that must feel all she can think about is herself and how this affects her. She proves just how untrustworthy she is with this information by going home and telling David so he will feel sorry for her thus sabotaging Ma Te. Wawawawa poor me poor me poor me.
I am looking forward to seeing some more of this family drama. Ma Te is probably going to get humiliated but I want to see him get good and angry at the people he should be mad at instead of taking it out on Bo Tong sideways.
I am hoping for Bo Tong’s sake that David is not a “lesser man”.
thank you for short and cliff-hanger recap Hershey! in sync with the episode! I was actually hoping to see closure with Myo Mi before lady #5 but it’s ok perhaps in the later episode? Girl #5 is really worth hating! ^^ I did not like Botong’s acting after her discovery of Ma Teh’s real dad as well in this ep. It was too much crying particularly in front of CD who just confessed to him- too unreal. Anyway the excitement is killing me but at the same time I am starting to feel sad that the end of this drama is just a few weeks away already. Can’t have enough of weekly Wed/Thur eps with Sukkie! BM fightin’! ❤
Last scene should have been more dramatic, also the scene when David saw DM after he knows he is his brother.
i find David’s acting sometimes is bad.
i like that JKS is relaxed and not overacting in this Drama, though his character is not superficial, but sometimes he is using his eyes too much, and i don’t like that.
i asked this question before but no one answered me, what did DMT mean when he talked to David about his feelings towards Bo Tong?
Hi fmm, that was his confession to david how he loves botong in an indirect way, and it was in a form of analogy.
sis Hershey, thank you for you wonderful straight forward recap..!!
Ep. 10 already. This episode had regained my belief in the Writer and Producer…(not 100% though…LOLL) I can see that they go back a little to show MaTe’s main growth story..with the scene that he returns the money to the spoiled brat girl. If the money was offered to old DokGo MaTe in the past…..he won’t refuse it for sure….!!
Wowwww….a lot of things happened in episode. I really like the Father character…even though, he was a lousy player in his youth..to begotted sons with different women everywhere…..loll
In this episode….I begin to feel Pity for the Iron Lady. She is so pitiful and lonely woman who get whatever she wanted….EXCEPT one thing or one person…her child??
Goashhh… this drama is killing me good now…… is David or MaTE her child?? None on both? Wahhhh…. with all the BAD things that she had done to Dokgo Mate…and if Dokgo MaTe is really her lost child, this story is sooo ironic and …what the cruel twisted of fate..??
This drama is getting sooooo intrigue and intense……. can’t wait for next Episode!!!
Kailey, I agree with you that NHR is a very lonely woman. And even her marriage is a marriage for convenience. Remember the video clips, Yoora was watching in episode 7? Those were discussions and analysis that she was the weakest possibility to inherit MG coz she is not married. And later on, on another clips, 2 people were discussing/analyzing that his marriage to the chairman(present one) strengthened the bond to get the humber 1 spot to inherit MG. And maybe, she was not that evil before but she became that devious when she was manipulated by the 2 brothers, and maybe one of the manipulations, they were the ones who stole the baby who was born in New York. ( just my theory ). The reason she became that evil and power hungry.
If NHR is the real mom of Mate, what a painful thing…the more Mate will be hurt, but at the same time, he will grow in wisdom.
Thanks Sis Hershey for the recap. Kim Bo Tong has become kabayaki. I hope she can get her senses back soon and swim back to the pond 🙂
Sis. How I wish she will get back her senses sooner as possible. It seems David is becoming so obsessed with her.
Hershey, Thanks a lot for this recap. What a confession of Mate of his love for Botong, but I wish it was not told to David. And what a cliffhanger at the end, that feeling that I cannot wait for Wednesday.
omg i loved ep 9 and 10 so much it was so unexcpected and i loved how mate started to fall for botong but didn’t love that she started to have feeling for david ?!! like this is the first drama i see the girl falling for the second guy heheheh 🙂 but that makes the drama alot more fun , and i don’t want to try and explain who is mate or david father and mother i just want the drama to surprise me , so i’m more interested in botong fight with her love for mate and loyalty for david . though i have read the manhwa already but kbs are changing alot of things in the drama , cuz their is hardly any romantic moment between botong and mate in the manhwa and ep 9 was just far from what it is supposed to be ??!! and i heard the korean eels are really pissed of with how KBS is changing this drama .. but personnally i loved how they add all the mate falling for botong thing , so and i wish they would add more ,((( careful i’m about to say some spoilers here so be careful if you dont what to read this )))cuz in the manhwa mate suppose to fall for yu ra and don’t have feeling for botong till the very last few chapters and that is when she is marrying david and as far as i remember she dose marry him but somehow she return to mate and the hole yura thing and trying to find mate was for some purpose you will know and i think she was playing mate i dont remember really what happened so i hope they i dont really know if they will go by the manhwa cuz they are changing it so much ?!!
i dont think botong start to fall for david. she just see him as someone who is very similar to herself..like looking at a mirror.she knows how troubled to like someone who dont like her back.she can see herself in David. David just know her..but imagining her to like Mate for more than 10 years is even worst. so..she understand how David feels. the only different is how they overcome that. botong obviously a pure girl who love Mate unconditionally. so..she might not feel much trouble as long as Mate happy.but what about David..idk how will he handle his obsession but he seems like a very good guy. i dont think he will do anything against Mate and Botong coz if he do..he might hurt Botong at the end.
after watching until ep 10..i have this feeling that Park Gi Seok is the real culprit and Mate is NHR’s son.
Thanks Hershey for the recap,episodes 9 and 10 were the turning points of the drama and i love both episodes,i cant wait for see how the things will going on,my head is a mess trying to resolve or answer all the questions.
Thanks for the recap. I can’t wait for episode 11. I can’t believe BM is almost over. I’m going to miss seeing Sukkie in a drama. I’m excited for next week. And Happy Holidays to everyone!!!
