I just watched episode 58 and I'm incredibly disappointed in Giant right now. I can't believe they had another timeskip without resolving anything. That's just... I don't even know what to say, I'm so frustrated.
I'd like to believe that Minwoo helped Seongmo as per the anonymous comment above, but I doubt it. If that were the case, he would have told Miju about it when he saw her crying over Seongmo. There was a scene of his second in command hiring people to look for Seongmo, so I don't think Minwoo knows where he is. I suppose there's still a possibility that MW will find SM first and choose to tell Miju and Gangmo about it rather than his father, thereby earning forgiveness, but at this point I don't really believe it will happen, and probably wouldn't find it satisfying even if it did.
It looks like Minwoo's overall story arc will end up being "he's betrayed by everyone he loves and then he dies." That is the most upsetting thing for me, because the one thing I wanted most from Giant was to see him break away from his father and have a happy ending. I hate that they're giving me a tragedy where I wanted a redemption story. I could have forgiven them all the rest of the sloppy plotting if only they had given me that.
I never write fanfic, but right now I'm seriously tempted to do my own rewrite of Giant once it's finished. After all the time I've spent obsessing over this drama, I can't bear to let them ruin it for me.
ETA: Forgot to say, I don't think JPY will go insane due to MW's death, because I don't think he cares enough about MW for that. I always thought the Lee brothers would find evidence to convict JPY of murder and then he would plead insanity to get a lighter sentence, and I guess that could still happen, but now it seems more likely the ruin of his career will drive him crazy.
