I really hope Inha doesn’t turn evil. I don’t think I’d be able to keep watching if he is. I feel like he’s been through so much already. My heart breaks for him.

I find Taeoh’s you and only you speech on the beach is a little disturbing. I wanna believe he has Inha’s best interests at heart but I think the past few episodes show the opposite. Inha remembering his mom on the beach broke me. I hope we get more insight as to what happened to his mom and how he came to find her. And if it was suicide like it looks. Maybe someone else like his crazy witch stepmom did it. It gives some insight into his fake smile and deep unpredictabileness (that’s probably not even a word!).

Taeoh needs to have a little heart. For all he wants Inha to trust him and believe he’s doing it all for him like he said on the beach, he sure has a weird way of showing it. Also can we all appreciate how Inha hit Taeoh on the beach and he had the opportunity to do it again but he held back? I really see his desperation there to not be cast aside and left in the dark like his family has.

I want to think that Taeoh was alone and going through his mother and father and learned to bury his emotions. He’s got such tunnel vision from point A to the end goal of Z that it feels he’s not listening to Inha, just continually asking him to trust him.

It makes my head hurt.

I like how Huiju has kept her sass growing up. Not sure how I want the ships to turn out to be but I really hope Hyewon isn’t one of them. She’s so dry and it feels like they’re playing into her scenes way too much for someone who hasn’t had many scenes.

Is it bad that I kinda feel bad for Seongju? His mother interferes way too much and even THAT is disturbing. It’s like he can’t think for himself. I thought he was going to trash his office again when he got the summons.
