The plot at this point:π₯²π#LittleWomen #LittleWomenEp8 pic.twitter.com/5RiKgRuaKm
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."
So the 'Closed Room' was already a hint that Won Sang-a was the one who killed Hwa-young (suggesting the same crime scene). Tbh what really scares me was the fact that she acted normally as if she didn't kill someone. Like wtf- π¬π₯΄ #LittleWomen #LittleWomenEp8 pic.twitter.com/2afl5xtlCa

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.
The clues have been there right from the start. Intro shows us Sanga playing her dollhouse w/ the events all happened IRL. TBH I didnβt notice this right away cos I always skip the intro, I only watched it this morning when I saw a tweet praising it #LittleWomenEp8 #LittleWomen pic.twitter.com/GXzK1jUonX

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. However, episode 8 showed that some sort of romance can blossom between him and In-joo after his sweet gestures toward her despite the chaos around them. 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.
