Moorim School Episode 14

Four Stars

What are they doing, they can't have two recap episodes this close to the end? This episode was just like the last one. One of them was okay, but not two.

I know they had to cut the drama short. But it feels lke they took a look at all the plot that was still supposed to happen and instead of letting it play out, they're just telling it now. Without any action or suspense or anything really happening. People are just talking and thinking and staring. I mean, they are getting the plot across. We know what's going on. But are we immersed? Are we feeling it? Nope. It's like reading a news article.

I don't like how the Professor is the new (awfully cliché) antagonist. I don't like Yeob Jung being brainwashed right after getting better at the whole being human thing. And introducing three new professors this close to the end? They should have just cut some of it out. I was really disappointed with this episode.

Plus points for: Shi Woo and Soon Deok still being very clear about their relationship. No weird misunderstandings or unnecessary drama, its very nice. Also for Chi Ang realizing he doesn't have a chance. For Chi Ang and Shi Woo interacting, as sad as it is. (Let's scrap that, they haven't looked at eachother in ages and suddenly Shi Woo is this devastated about Chi Ang leaving - it's very unrealistic. As much as I want them to be friends again, it can't just magically happen like that. We need to see it happening. But that's the general problem of this episode.)

I'm leaving it at this. I have hope left for the last two episodes, maybe they'll turn it around after this interlude/timelapse/overload of information we're having right now.
