What Is Yohan’s Relationship With His Nanny?
The biggest bombshell dropped during the memorial dinner scene. While killing Yohan’s aunt, the nanny revealed she is actually Yohan’s biological mother—a fact even Yohan doesn’t know.
The backstory gets darker. As a child, Yohan once poured mercury into her eyes, causing her permanent blindness. This explains her subservient role in his household and the twisted dynamic between them. She later massacres Yohan’s entire extended family during the memorial gathering, staging it as a fire accident.
In Episode 10, we learn more about their shared mindset. Both Yohan and his biological mother struggle to understand why people help each other without ulterior motives, highlighting their similar sociopathic tendencies.
Did Taejoong Kill Do-kyung?
No. Despite Taejoong’s revenge plan, he wasn’t responsible for Do-kyung’s death. Do-kyung died when a truck crashed into his car—an accident rather than Taejoong’s doing.
Episode 9 showed Taejoong confronting Do-kyung at a yacht party, where he got restrained before Detective Hwang and Mr. Yang arrived. Mr. Noh and Eunbi rescued Taejoong, taking shelter at Han-byeol’s place in Busan. The episode ended with Taejoong preparing a rifle, but Do-kyung’s fate was sealed by an accident before any confrontation could happen.

Episode 10’s Major Developments
Episode 10 escalated tensions dramatically. Yohan met with Congressman Baek, claiming Taejoong threatened Do-kyung. When the congressman sent assassins to eliminate Yohan, he killed them all with a sword, showcasing his deadly combat skills.
The episode revealed Yohan orchestrated his parents’ deaths to look like a fugitive’s crime, preventing them from donating their fortune to a temple. The finale ended ominously with Yohan burning photos of Mr. Noh and Eunbi—marking them as his next targets.
