Since the episode aired, fans have been talking about the chaos that ensued after Oh Hye-seok's death. With Sang-ha locked inside her room by her husband, Jae-sang, her daughter Hyo-rin wants to help her escape. Sang-ha sends In-joo to the orchid exhibition on her behalf and Do-il accompanies her there. Meanwhile, In-hye is aware that In-joo is in danger and that Jae-sang is possibly trying to kill her. In-kyung is now sure she wants to expose Jae-sang using the ledgers and hopes that Do-il's dad Hee-jae will help her. The army veteran is on a mission to kill Jae-sang in order to protect Do-il. Be warned as the following article contains a lot more spoilers from Episode 8 of 'Little Women'. 

1. In-kyung teams up with Choi Hee-jae

After learning about In-kyung and being attacked by Jae-sang's men, Hee-jae arrives to meet In-kyung. He tells the former reporter that he will join hands with her and help expose Park Jae-sang. Fans are shocked to see the two contrasting characters come together as one fan said, "I have a good feeling in this partnership."

2. In-hye learning who Hwa-young's murderer was 

After her chat with Jae-sang and Hyo-rin's subsequent panic attack, In-hye is curious about how Jae-sang knows everything. She goes to his office and learns that he has set up a camera in Sang-ha's bedroom. In-hye goes back to the date of Hwa-young's murder and learns something about the night that shocks her. As it turns out, Sang-ha was the one who murdered Hwa-young. One fan said, "I will never be an inhye hater, i trust her even though she can be a little annoying."

3. Sang-ha was the puppet master all along

The biggest shock of the night was when In-joo was waiting in the Singapore apartment for Hwa-young to show up. The person who shows up, however, is Sang-ha. She reveals that the entire journey of In-joo's life revolves around Sang-ha from the moment she set foot in the Wonryeong Group office. Sang-ha is the director of the play that has become In-Joo's life and she is controlling everyone around her. The people around In-joo were all actors, including Hwa-young who died in order to help her reach her full potential. 

4. Do-il swooning over In-joo

Over the last few episodes, fans have been on the fence as they were not sure if they could trust Do-il.

One fan said, "They about o be first couple in kdrama world who got crazy chemistry but people hesitating to ship cause of trust issues. LIKE PLS INJOO AMD DOIL LOOK SO HOT TOGETHER."

5. In-joo, her suitcase full of 70 billion won, and the gun

The final straw for many fans was the way the episode ended. In-joo is in the room waiting for Hwa-young but as it turns out, Sang-ha was the master manipulator all along. After learning that Sang-ha is going to kill In-joo just for the sake of her enjoyment, the latter asks to see the suitcase with 70 billion won in it. Sang-ha opens the suitcase and is shocked to learn that it had nothing but bricks inside. In-joo mocks Sang-ha and pulls out the gun Do-il gave her. With In-joo in power, fans are loving the maniac she became by the end of the episode.
