Pit Babe has everything. Racing. Omegaverse. Evil billionaires trafficking powered children. Breeding scheme. Kinky shit. High melodrama. BETRAYALS. Spice and fluff. Man tears. Inane plot logic and priorities. Not one not two not three but FOUR (and counting?) secretly adopted siblings. I love it here.

this is one of my favorite parallels. kronos repeats luke's words from tlt slightly wrong in tlo. just how he tries to achieves luke's goal slightly wrong, slightly corrupted. the same idea, but different meanings. different endings.

There have been a decent number of times where I get frustrated in Min-hwan's portrayal in the show compared to Soo-min's in that Soo-min seems more like the scary one while Min-hwan seems less threatening and comedic. Like, even when Min-hwan is being physically threatening or abusive, we get a scene shortly after where he's having his temper tantrums or flailing that we can kind of forget what he did earlier in the show. And then wham, the show gives us scenes like in today's episode that show just how more dangerous Min-hwan is.
Soo-min has done some fucked up and manipulative shit that has put Ji-won in danger, but I think today's episode really showed that Soo-min has some pretty severe mental health issues. She did a good job masking those mental health issues in the original timeline, but that was because she wasn't experiencing any stress and Ji-won was so dependent on her. But, in this new timeline, when Ji-won distances herself, Soo-min's "perfect" image goes away, and her life is falling apart, we can see Soo-min unraveling and spiraling.
But, man, Min-hwan can be an abusive and manipulative asshole. He might have been genuine with Ji-won in the beginning of their relationship, but he knew what to say and do to make Ji-won feel like he was amazing and be willing to stick around even when he started to become more controlling and abusive. And then we saw his manipulativeness in today's episode when he could see Soo-min unraveling and said the words he knew would get Soo-min to agree to marry him. And the fact that he said the same exact words to Soo-min that he did to Ji-won shows that he knows how to take advantage of someone who wants to be loved and wants to have a family. Min-hwan uses his childish and immature persona as a way to make people feel less threatened until he has them dependent enough on him that they stay no matter what abusive tactics he uses on them.
So, while Soo-min's mental health issues do not excuse her actions and how she's treated Ji-won, I am glad that the show does come back around to remind us just how much more dangerous and threatening Min-hwan actually is.
