Mirror of the Witch Episode 10

Have to give it to the writer . . .

Have to give it to the writer, this show never lets up. Wow, events and twists. One after another. Boom, big bomb dropped. Only to have another one dropped.

Though I have to admit I hate how last episode Hyun Seo was all: Seo Ri can save herself and all of us! Now he's switched too the "one acting as the boundary can save her" AND "true love can only save her." *sighs* It was a lovely dream, but I guess I'm just left to see how it will all play out.

Mad props the director for keeping Mirror of the Witch looking so good! There was some serious magical affects going on and they looked great. Not to mention the costume design and look of each scene is always on point.

I am disappointed to where things went with Sol Gae, Poong Yeon's apprentice/helper. Don't get me wrong I had kind of figured it, but I was just so excited by her character that I wanted more! More I tell you!

Another great episode. I am so pleased to have more of Seo Ri and Heo Jun! They're developing into characters you can really get behind, and if they're going to introduce this whole true love thing I'm gonna have to by both Heo Jun and Poon Yeon's affection at some point.

Warning to viewers: This one has a crazy cliffhanger.

Unpredictable!

What a roller-coaster of an episode!

Easily the strongest episode to day, episode 10 perfectly plays at all plot lines offering a full package of intensity. I kid you not, there was intensity in the town, in the palace, in the Witch's headquarters..Everywhere... This was another good episode with a balanced tone with its comic moments, thrilling moments, and more importantly shocking surprises notably the last 20 minutes of the show!

Yoon Shi Yoon is as usual perfect as his Joon. I was happy, even though I was shedding tears, that he got some sort of a peace moment. As for the romance, let me say I appreciate the show's completely innocent way of building the relationship between our leads. The moments those two look and smile at each other were the most beautiful to me. Even when they don't relay electrifying spark d'amour, they show how those two people are completely comfortable and accepting of one another which stand in a stark contrast to the last scene of the show. Speaking of romance, is that another ship I spotted today, show? Now that you did that, you CANNOT push it aside! I will send the Red Cloak after you if you do.

Nevertheless, what seemed like a perfect episode still had its flaw. If you take the stupidity and utter ineffectiveness of drama police as given, we won't have to say much about Ok's utter inadequacy! Although I was happy that even he got a moment to explain his motives. The other flaw is Mr. Taoist Master and his disciple Gwang and their stupid ways of "Conceal don't Feel". I would spare you the long, long rant. But let's say this, Master Taoist is still the worst character in this drama!

With the shocking detour the events took at the end of this episode, I can only wait for the next for more!
