(a few minor spoilery thoughts in the comment!)

    – Joo-ri: I still find her dead eyes uninteresting, but the saving grace for her character in this episode has to be when she realizes how petty she was being in the hospital’s director’s office. Also, that pizza and beer scene with CEO Lee cracks me up! I’m all for this pairing, or maybe a potential secondary love triangle happening in the future. That would collectively make these 3 characters more fun to watch!
    – Kang-tae is making me cry with him today. From the moment he hesitates when Moon-young screams that she loves him, to when he reads Zombie Kid and bursts out in tears. I have no words. Kang-tae and Ki-do from ep 3 are more similar than they appear. Kang-tae devotes his life to be a caretaker, for his brother and for his patients and keeps nothing for himself. He needs his own chance to dance and sing, to be free and honest, in order to heal.
    – Moon-young also makes me cry today. I am so intrigued to find out what happened with her parents that led her dad to acting like this. It can’t just be because of her ASPD diagnosis…? I’m skipping over all the creepy flashbacks with her mom so I’m willfully being in the dark about that because I’m a wimp and I can’t handle the ghost of the past. I’m not surprised that Moon-young is so perceptive. She’s great at manipulating people to get what she wants, and in order to do that, she has to be able to read people well. Her stories cut me deep. AH.
    – I’m so on board with this ship now, and very much ready to go down with it.

      For people working in Mental health facility, barring the hospital director, others seem to be really lacking in foresight when it comes to recognizing who needs help and who doesn’t. Ju Ri, I think my issue with her is, she comes across as somebody who is very cold and almost dead inside when I look at her. Yes, she is normal by society’s standard but there is not warmth and a whole lot of judgement in her way of talking, speaking and interacting with others. As if, its not real but fake…this docile persona. I think Moon Young, recognizes that Ju ri suppresses it, which is why Ju Ri is especially weary of Moon Young. Or its the actress, she is not on par with others hence her character looks so cold and odd.

      That pizza restaurant scene was fantastic. I’m loving Sang In from the beginning (he really cares on a personal level about Moon Young and he’s probably the only person she trusts), and like you, I want to see more of this trio!

    It was a really heavy one today.
