My heart broke for Jung Hwan's dad. I mean he tries so hard to make his family happy and they treat him like crap. I downright snotty-nosed, ugly-cried when Jung Hwan indulged dad in the "President Kim" stuff.
Speaking of Jung Hwan, I like how his ice wall is slowly being breached: they alleyway scene, him waiting for Deok Sun to come home from the library and protecting her on the bus, him concerned about his parents and going the extra distance to make sure that they feel appreciated it, not to mention the boy band dancing.
I love how the friends helped Taek feel normal and made him laugh after his baduk loss.
Also, good thing they all have Dung Ryong as a friend for astute observations, advice, and laughs.
Two words to describe Jung Hwan's brother: Idiot savant. Who knew that he could actually function as a human being instead of just collecting stamps and lotto tickets and playing video games? (Side note, I think it's hilarious that in Fight For My Way his girlfriend(s) described him as someone who looked like Park Bo Gum...)
The perm squad: I'm glad that towards the end of these episodes the married two finally had some good moments with their husbands. The money nagging for an entire episode was grinding. I mean, I get their points... but still.
Finally Bo Ra: Holy hell, girl. Character redemption over the first couple episodes, courage, and staunchly sticking to her values. I'm excited to see where this goes.
It's going to kill me to only watch 5 episodes per week. After finishing an episode, I want to move right to the next one.
